Perhaps, but | do not believe it. But for
the present, women who can vote do
vote and that is more than can be said
for men II is too early yet TO record the
number of men who failed to vote at
the recent struggle of the conflicting
political parties for supremacy at the
polls. But it was only last year that
read that in Boston ut an election for
municipal officers 10000 men had failed
TO record their choice of government.

II venture the prediction that wherever
the right of voting is conferred women
will gratefully avail herself of the priv

very war cry which man raises against
her free vote. namely her love of home.

The principal bridge IS the ore which
every Washingtonten knows as Cabin
John bridge. This IS a magnificent single
span masonry arcn, which carries the
conduit across very deep ravine about
nine miles from the city. For a great
many Years II was the longest masonry
span in existence, and ii still is one OF the
citys show places. Thousands of Wash

bridge, giving the date when ii was COM
pleted and the names of the engineers
who constructed it,
This side of Cabin John bridge the con-
duit crosses many other valleys and ra-
vines. The trolley line to Cabin John
bridge parallels the conduit FOR a long
distance and the passengers on the cars

tube as il spans the smaller valleys. Over
a great number of these valleys the con-
duit Is carried on culverts or earth en-
pankments. The greater part of the
length of the conduit was laid in open
cut. and after the cut was refilled the
surface was macadamized. The result

Capital city as the Conduit road. 1t is a
favorite thoroughfare for automobilists
and drivers
The conduit empties to the northwest

reservoirs which store the water of the

reservoir. 1t, as we'll as the next one the

water from Great Falls. In 1883. how

out of service, while canal and tunnel
