SAT DOWN ON THE DOG.
Tired Man on Street Car Dispossessed
Woman's Pet.

There was just two seats left on a
Euclid avenue car yesterday afternoon
when a little woman wearing a new
spring suit and hat with cerise dew
dads on il climbed on, accompanied
by mild-mannered little bulldog. She
took one of the seats and assisted the
bulldog to the other one.
The pair had just got comfortably
settled when a determined-looking
man got on. He looked about for 8
seat and then took hold Of q strap. But
he looked about dissatisfied. still
wanting seat Then he happened to
sec the bulldog. There was little
room on either side of the dog. but
not enough for man to sit He Gov
eted the seat occupied by the dog.
Yes. he would do IL, he resolved; he
would give the dog chance to offer
him his seat He walked up to the
dog and waited a moment, but while
both the dog and the woman looked
at him, neither offered to move. Then
the man-turneG about and started to
sit down. The dog was the first to
realize the danger, but it didn't move
in time to prevent the man from
sitting down on its hind legs.
The woman gathered the dog unto
herself, while the man pulled a news
paper from his pocket and leaned
back to read even as If nothing had
happened.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Trout Not Hurt by Freezing.

Expert Canadian fishermen say that
trout remain alive for a considerable
time after being frozen In the ice.
"one night" one Of these relates,
the temperature dropped suddenly,
and in the morning the spring, as well
as the trout, was frozen solid. No at.
tention was paid to the spring until
the following day. when one of the
men went there with an ax and
chopped out enough fish for dinner.
The trout, frozen stiff and hard, were
placed In pan of water 10 thaw out.

prised to see them 'open their mouths
and move about. The smallest one

of the trout died before noon. but the

Dutchman and Dragon.

A noted Michigan automobile de-
signer, who prides himself on the pop
ularity of his cars, told an amusing
story to a number of friends who were
dining with him at the Hotel Belmont,
New York, the other day. Said he:
Il was riding on a trolley car In
Lancaster, Pa, one afternoon last
week, when a large six cylinder
French automobile with a limousine
body, whized past The car in all
probability cost over $1,000. An old
Pennsylvania Dutchman was seated
beside me, and l asked him in an of

No, II can't be Dragon re-

Bisbee, Ariz., Feb. 20, 1908.
Today's short session shows con-
siderable weakness and the New York
market sold OF under the lead of
Union Pacific, which declined three
points, while about one point will
cover the losses OF the balance of the
list
The coppers also show weakening
tendency, and Copper Range, North
Butte and Amalgamated were of from
1 to points.
The curbs, while easy, show only
fractional declines, but present
weakening tendency, and If the New
York market continues downward
we think they will sell lower next
week The hank statement today
was not as good as expected. which
also Influenced the market to a con-
siderable extent.
Until there is strengthening in
the price of copper metal, we do not
look for any advances in copper
stocks.

Largest Artificial
Reservoir in the World

Ell PASo, Feb. 29.-The Great En-
gle or Elephant Butte dam. which is
the largest and most costly unit on
the Rio Grande reclamation project,
is estimated TO cost $6,0OO,O00. 1t
viii be arched upstream on a six
degree curve to increase the resis-
lance against the pressure of the
water, and the length of the crest
will be 1900 feet. and at the river
level 400 feet long. This is due to
its being situated at the mouth of a
long narrow canyon. Its height from
the bedrock foundation to the crest
will be 275 feet.
Preparing the Foundation
Bedrock lies SIS feet below the sandy
bed of the river and to get founda-
ton for the dam it will be necessary
to excavate to tais depth and to y
width of 200 feet, for the concrete
structure of the dam itself will be
10 feet wide at the bottom.
Anchored TO Bedrock
When bedrock is reached in the ex-
cavation, immense holes will be drill
led and steel pins or shafts a foot or
in these holes in the rock at close
intervals and allowed to project above
the surface so as to become an in
tegral part of the concrete structure
and prevent any possible tendency
of the great dam to slip on its foun-
dations with the uemednduous pres
of the water behind it.
Resist Tremendous Pressure
The thickness of the dam at the
crest viii be twenty feet and this
space will be occupied by the drive
way. On the upstream side the face
of the dam will slope at the rate OIL
one inch to the foot, but on the down
stream side the slope will be seven
and one-half inches to the foot, Civ
ing tremendous batter to resist the
pressure of the stored water.
Immense Storage Capacity
The reservoir viii be twenty miles
long and, in some places, FIVE or SIX
miles in width 1t viii have also
a storage capaciey of 100000 acre
feet to the level of the spillway, or
CSC, 1000, 000,000 gallons.
This amount of water would supply
all the needs of Chicago, with its two
millions of people, for thirty years: it

a depth of six inches.
Reasons for Large Size
Not more than 100000 acre feet
per annum will be required for irri-
eating the 100000 acres included ar
the beginning, under the project, but
long experience with the river has
shown that IL win be necessary to
provide for series or possibly dry
years., so that the engineers have
undertaken to store supply OF wa
ter adequate to irrigate the entire
valley for period of three years II
no water should flow into the reser-
voir during that time after 1t had
once been filed.
There Is another reason for making
the reservoir extraordinarily large;
this is the necessity of providing for
taking care of the enormous volume
of silt carried in suspension In the
water of the Rio Grande. While the
means have been provided to sluice
out the silt, it is realized that the
gradual deposit will tend to decrease
the storage capacity of the reservoir
as the years go by. Hence, it Is con
sidered best to allow ample storage
capacity at the start for long time
in the future inasmuch as it would
be very uneconomical to build a dam
that was smaller with the expectation
Of ultimately increasing its capaciy

Engineers will appreciate the i'm
meRsity of the dam itself from the
following figures: over 300 900 barrels
of cement will be used on the dam;
excavations in bedrock for dam anch-
orages will total 5000 cubic yards;
there will be 114,000 cubic yards Of
concrete below the river bed and as
many as 100000 cubic yards of con-
crete above the river bed; the earth
excavation for the spillway alone will
be 10000 cubic yards.

THE ORPHEUM ACTORS

Home Sweet Home" which was
played for the first time at the Or
pheum last night, proved very strong
and interesting drama and is sure to
be counted among the successes of the
season. The story of the piece is in
the main pathetic, being concerned
with the life OF gambler who is
parted from his wife through the plot
ting or a false friend and is separated
from her for ten years before a recon-
ciliation is brought about. Mr. Cooley
as Jack Diamond, the gambler, did
some of the strongest acting that he
has yet done here, while Miss Kings
bury was particularly good in the role
of the gamblers wife. Charles Dey
made much of the part of the villain,
while George Kenneth did his custom
ary excellent work as a rum soaked
tramp, driven to desperation by
wrongs he has suffered.
The play requires that the daughter
of Jack Diamond shall appear at two
ages, six and sixteen. The six-year-old
character was played by little Miss Ida
Hingley of this city, who spoke her
lines clearly ana 1ulSiItSSIllly cAio WIZ
was as charming a little elf as one
could have wished to see. The sixteen
year-old character was played by Miss
Harriet James in a thoroughly salts
factory manner.
Lionel Swift and Miss Florence
Plummer furnished all the comedy and
were responsible for many hearty
laughs william Ross, Ray Avery and
Carl Case made all that was possible
for minor roles.
