Without having actually seen them,
you cannot imagine how dark some
Japanese country villages remain even
| In the brightest and hottest weather.
| In the neighborhood of Tokyo itself
there are many villages of this kind
At a short distance from such a settla-
ment you see no houses; nothing is
visible but dense grove of ever
green trees. The grove. which is usu-

various purposes. So closely are the

| What makes the first impression of
such a village almost disquieting is, not
| the transparent gloom, which has GER

stiffness. There may be fifty or hun

and hear no sound but the twitter Of

| Even the cicadae find these groves too

sometimes hear a viewless shuttle

sound, in the great green silence, seems
an elfish happening. The reason of the
hush is simply that the people are not
at home. All the adults have gone TO
| the neighboring fields. the women car

most of the children have gone to the
nearest school, perhaps not less than 4
mile away. Verify, one seems TO be-

Plates Placed Just Beneath tho Rails
Found TO He Satisfactory.
Upon the advice of the bureau OF
forestry the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe Railroad eight months ago began to
experiment with wooden tie plates.
These plates are intended to protect
The tie from wear under the rail. They
are cut the width of the bottom Of the
rail and as long as the tie is wide
usually six or seven inches-and are
kept In place by the weight OF the rail,
In fiat groove In the tie. The re-
suits of the experiment are of much
Interest both to the railroads Of the
country and to those who have ut heart
the cause OF forest protection.
The Santa Fe places cypress tie
plates one-quarter of an inch thick on
several thousand old and much-worn
cypress ties laid in its track north Of
Galveston, Texas. After eight months
Of constant use the plates are perfect
ly sound and show practically not a
trace of wear. The officials of the
road are greatly pleased with the re-
suit of this trial.
The bureau of forestry will now
make similar experiments with red
gum, red oak and beech tie plates,
which will be placed in the tracks
Of the st. Louis and San Francisco.
the Burlington and the Northern Pa
ciic systems.
These are all harder woods than
cypress and are therefore, less liable
to wear under the rails, but are much
more subject to decay. The tie plates
made from these woods will. therefore.
all be heavily creOsOted. This will make
them about as resistant to decay as
the untreated cypress. while their much
greater hardness will better qualify
them TO resist the wear of the rails.

WATER SCHEME

A matter that can hardly fail to be
of interest to the people OF Canon
City and vicinity is the PROPOSE tion
OF our fellow towpsmen, Dali g
Weese and Messrs. Baker and Biggs,
to tap the artesian water supply
believed to underlie the Wet Noun
tain valley, and utilize it for irriga-
tion purposes. Careful and elaborate
plans have been made with this end
in view and the exploitation of the
enterprise will begin very shortly un
der the p ersonal direction of Mr.. De
Weese. who has given the subject a
great deal of study and attention
during the last few months.
Machinery has been ordered for
boring operations aud the men at the
head of the movement believe that
thev will be successful in tapping
the artesian sources of supply at no
great depth from the surface.
At any rate they will make an ex-
haustive test of the matter before
losing their faith in the propositions
In relation to the enterprise, as in
all others there are those who are
skeptical ab out its success. They
point to the shaft of the Geyser mine
at Silver Cliff. which is 1900 feet
deep and without water. and say that
If there was an artesiau supply in the
valley the miners would certainly
have found it in their descent into
the earth.
This sort of argument, however, is
not convincing to the men who are
backing the proposition, logical as it
may appear at first glance.
a study of the physical surround
ings has satisfied the men back of the
enterprise that conditions are entire
ly different at the Baker and Biggs
ranch, where the first borings are to
be made. from what they are at the
Geyser mine. The geology in the
neighborhood of the former is indi.
rative of an artesian stratum and
money has been subscribed to ascer.
tain whether 1t really exists there or
MT. If successful the disco very will

II a large basin of artesian water is
found, rs 1t is surmised there will he,
1t can be conveyed by means of
Grape creek and used FOR domestic
and irrigation purposes on Lincoln
park.
Such discovery in the Wet Noun
tain valley would be great thing
for the people of this section and
would give au impetus to the devel-
opment of artesian sources of water
supply that would add millions of
dollars TO the agricultural wealth of
Colorado. The experiment soon to
be made on the Baker and Biggs
ranch will be watched with great in
terest by the people of the Canon City
district-Canon City Record.
