WATER POWER MILLS

The first impulse would be to answer
In the negative. Scores Of old Maine
millmen. some OF whom have worked
in PeRobscot river sawmiIIs for nearly
half a century, and can remember
when all the mills were run by water
power, make reply in an emphatic yes
Not only do the mill operatives declare
that water viii accomplish a greater
amount Of work at night than in tie
daytime, but they cite records Of actual
performance, giving names Of mills
and dates where tests have been made,
In saving deals and other standard
lumber from spruce Of average size.
the exact variation in performance be-
tween night and day depends slightly
upon the weather conditions, more be

than when IL is fair; but on an average
a modern band saw that will turn out
$500 feet in ten hours Of daylight can
saw 10000 feet or more in ten hours
of darkness.
Not only has this assertion been
proved many times IN mills that were
run by water power. but ii has been
demonstrated through elimination from
the fact that mills using steam power
never present so large a variation.

Golden, Colo.-Captain E. l.. Ber-
thoud, pioneer of Colorado, designer OF
the Georgetown loop, pathfinder for the
Union Pacific railroad in it's original
surveys through 1000 miles Of territory
III Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and
Utah, and one of the first engineers of
the Panama railroad, died Saturday af-
ternoon in this city as the result of IN
accident several weeks ago at his
home, the historic Overland hotel
when, with a lighted lamp in his hand,
he was attacked with fainting spell
while climbing the stairs to his room

tain region. In 1861 he discovered the
pass in the Middle Park bearing his
name. After this discovery he was
engaged by the Central Overland &
California Express Company to survey
route by the way of Berthoud pass to
Salt Lake. The survey was completed
from Golden to Provo, Utah, July 81,
1861, making the distance 430A miles
by short, easy route.

thoud enlisted in the union army and
began military career marked by con-
spicuous bravery and gallantry, he
figuring prominently in the repulse of
Price at Jefferson City, Missouri, in
October, 1864. With the rank of Cap
tain E. l.. Berthoud returned with his
honors to Golden in 1866 and became
chief engineer and secretary of the
Colorado Central railroad, building the
line TO Cheyenne. Denver, Black Hawk,
Central City and Georgetown. He was
actively interested in advancing the IN
terests of the School of Mines from tho
date of its foundation.
