mean real Northwestern.
Louise was awakened by a sudden
shrek of wind that swept through the
slight aperture left by the raised win
dow and sent something crashing to
the floor. She lay for a moment drowsi-
ly wondering what had fallen. Was
it anything that could be broken? She
heard the steady push of the wind
gainst the frail frame building. and
knew she ought to compel herself suf-
ficiently to be aroused to close the
window. But she was very sleepy.
The crash had not awakened Mary.
She was breathing quietly and deeply.

to administer it in such cause. She
could not do it. The dilapidated green
blind was Tapping dismally. What
time was it? Maybe it was nearly
morning, and then the wind would
probably go down. That would save
her from getting up. She snuggled
under the covers and prepared to slip
deliciously off into slumber again.
But she couldn't go to sleep after
all. A haunting suspicion preyed on
her waking faculties that the crash
might have been the water pitcher.
She had been asleep and could not
gauge the shock of the fall. 1t had
seemed terrific, but what awakens one
from sleep is always abnormal to
ones startled and unremembering
consciousness. Still, it might have
been the pitcher. She cherished no
fond delusion as to the impenetra-
bility of the warped cottonwood floor

found herself wondering where the

her sitting up In hurry only to re-

soaked-it might put little color into

The original plan for the Assouan
dam was worked out by Sir William
Willcocks at the Egyptian ministry OF
public works, under the superinten-
dence of Sir William Garstin, under
secretary of state. The carrying out
of the plans was intrusted to firm Of
English contractors, Messrs. John Arid
& Co. Two months after the signing
of the contract the permanent works
were commenced. and soon thousands
of native laborers and hundreds OF
Italian granite masons were hard at
work laying the foundations and pre-
pairing the bed of the river to receive
its enormous weight of masonry. In
February, 1899. the cornerstone of the
dam was laid by the duke of Con-

structure has been raised so that the
waters of the Nile spread out over a
larger area of country. This dam is of
solid masonry and is penetrated by
1870 gates intended for regulating the
flow of water. Constructed from gran
tie blocks brought from the old quar-
ries at Assouan, 1t runs directly
across the river for distance of 2.15O
yards. Rising 100 feet above the
foundation, the thickness of the dam
varies from % feet at the top to SO
feet at the bottom. The additional
masonry on the dam has raised it nine
feet so that the stored water may
reach height of 23 feet above its old
level. The $50 sluice gates include 40
lower sluices 23 times 61a feet for the
distribution OF water and 40 upper
sluices 61a times II feet to permit the
escape of surplus water. The iron
gates of the sluices are regulated by
the help Of electrical winches stand
Ing on top of the dam. The total
length OF the immense dam is IL
miles; the height from foundation
about 100 feet; the difference of level

total weight of masonry over 100000
tons.
To the west Of the dam has been
constructed navigation canal by
means of which boats are locked" up

four locks each 230 feet long and three

road fund under the control of a
board of State Road Commission
ers, with explicit instruction as
to how it should be prorated to

Legislature will move out on this
proposition, it will confer the
greatest good yet attempted to

The present Legislature will be
expected to redistrict the State,
and while that may be consid-
cred a light duty by some, a po-
litical advantage to be gained by
others, yet it does not so occur
to US. Political districts were
not originally intended to be
formed for partisan purposes,
but for equal and fair repre-
sentation of the people and bus
mess interests within. To re-
district this State is no little
matter, for it ought to be done
IN the interest, and for the well
fare of the entire people, and not
for individuals or a particular
party. No fair minded man
should want an undue or unfair
advantage, and the Democratic
party ought to be willing to live
within the limits of it's princi-
pies equal and fair representa-
ton to all, and if it desires to do
so, its representatives must make
such changes as will truly repre-
sent the people. This State is no
worse than the average, it is not
SO great a sinner as some of the
Northern States, but two wrongs
do not make conditions better.
To make long story short, the
News believes in redistricting, so
as to give fair representation to
the people of both parties, to the
varied industries and interests Of
every section.
