the new Burlington depot when it is
built9 That is a question which has
come up since the Citizen Informed
the public of the likelihood of the
new structure. A persistent report
has had it that the Burling
ton is after the Abba &
Centerville line to make new
Des Moines and st. Louis route. The
Iowa Central depot is in ar out of the
way place and, having no car line, it
is very hard to reach in muddy wealth
er. What would be more natural than
for the l. C. to run its trains over the
Burlington tracks to the new Eigh
teenth street station This would ex
plain the reported negotiations be
tween the two roads.
The presence of surveyors of the
Burlington from ST. Louis gave rise
to much speculation. Some thought
that it might mean a revival OF the
union depot project, but this is very

such proposition, however, much
Centerville would wish them to do so
Others thought it might indicate q
change of plans regarding site, but
this theory has to back it only the
fact that the Burlington owns con
siderable ground south of the tracks
and near the Rock Island crossing.
The visit of the surveyors merely
makes more plausible the report that
Centerville is to get her new depot
The engineers made survey of the
four blocks covering where the ole
depot is located and took notes of the
size of lots and character of build

and depth of each building was also

LIFTING ITS PROUD HEAD ABOVE

Structure Which Italian City Though.
Lost Forever Almost Restored by
Architect Who Predicted
Its Downfall,

About 20 years ago a little bow was
playing in the sand on the beach at
Porto d'Anzio With shells, pebbles
and bits of driftwood he had built
little city with canals instead of
streets. and in the center was a tall
tower. A wave spread over the city
and the tower fell.
See. my Venice is flooded, and the
Campanile all down" he said TO his
father Some day the real Venice
VIII be swept away and then they
VIII ask me to build it up"
The real Venice has not been swept
away, but the Campanile, on July IA.
1902, fell into the Piazza di San Mar
co, and the boy. Gaetano Moretti. now
tall man, was asked 70 build 1t UP.
So far the new tower has risen 100
feet and within the next few months

bronze gates will be found again at
their accustomed place in the logetta.
For more than 1000 years the Cam
panile stood as the watch tower Of
the Lady of the Adriatic, and the new
tower, with its electric light $40 feet
above the Piazza, Is expected to last
until new city has been built upon
the ruins of the old
After the catastrophe of 1902 the
question was whether to rebuild the
new towe ron the old foundation or
to let the latter form the nucleus of
new foundation. The latter plan
was adopted, and on April %, 1908,
the ceremony of laying the corner
stone of the new structure was held
On this occasion were present. besides
a host of notables the patriarch of
Venice, now Plus X, and the count
of Turin, elder brother of the duke of

While Signor Moretti was busy with
the plans of the new structure the en-

width of about IL feet and carefully
bratticed
Into the area thus laid bare they
proceeded to drive 3,O76 piles Of larch-
wood from Galore, fresh cut to in
sure the presence of abundant resin
The average diameter of the piles Is
80 inches. Larch was preferred to
oak, partly because experience has
shown its admirable power of resist
ing decomposition when buried in the
clay of the lagoon bed and partly
because larch piles are straight, where
as oak Is often bent and twisted and
would therefore have left frequent
interstices.
The piles are on an average IL feet
long. They were driven home to al
most absolute resistance, T. e., until
they yielded only one milimeter 10

at 10000 tons, allowing for hollow
space. AT the angles the piles are in
contact with each other; elsewhere
they average a dozen to the square
meter, the total enlargement of the
foundation area amounting to 240
square meters
While the work of driving the piles
was in progress difficulty manifested
itself at the weak northeast angle
the angle that showed settlement of
six inches. The piles ran into peck
ct of sand, and this sand stratum
was found to extend along the north
ern face of the foundation up TO the
northwest angle.
The difficulty was overcome by driv,
ing thinner and rather longer piles
in perfect contact with each other
until they reached the lower clay bed
of the pocket The settlement of the
northeast angle was rectified by leav
ing the piles eight inches higher al
this point.
The driving of these 3.076 piles was
a slow process. 1t was carried or
! by the primitive method of hand rope
and pulley and weight, II ropes, OF
