lucky line; and the map-makers do
not show it as q very large dot on
the surface of the United States.
The stranger entering GAINESVILLE for
The first time is at once struck by the
anomaly Of the situation IN which he
finds himself. Here is q city Of
1900 people, ii the midst Of one Of
The richest sections Of q country sup
posed to be at peace with all the
world; but here, also IS . town which
has been an armed camp for more
than a year, ready day and night to
do battle for its existence at the first
sound of an alarm.
Pickets watch the ways Of entrance
1T night, posses of citizens, armed
with automatic shotguns charged with
buckshot, patrol the streets or hold
themselves id readiness ii the armory;
a lookout searches the country and
listens from the courthouse tower,
which dominates the landscape for
miles around; and the streets buzz
and whisper with rumor, suspicion
and distrust. For the Night Riders
have sworn that they will raid the
place and wreck it, even as they dealt
with Hopkinsyille, a few miles away
across the Kentucky border, on the
morning Of December 18th, 1907.
Therefore, GAINESVILLE sleeps on its
arms and watches.
GAINESVILLE is the oldest market IN
the dark tobacco district, and it's
destruction is the goal Of Night Rider
desire even more than was that of
Hopkiasville. An advance upon the
town has been planned three separate
times, but the plans have been given
up in each instance before an actual
conflict with the citizens took place.
II would be a hard town to take.
It is situated on . sort Of peninsula,
near the junction Of the Red River
with the Cumberland.
From the country districts where
The Night Riders operate there are
three principal roads leading into the
town, and two Of these approaches
are over narrow covered bridges,
where quite an army, unlees it had
cannon, could be stood off by a smaller
body.
Night Rider spies are forever re-
connoitering the town, but the re-
ports which they take back to their
secret meetings do not seem to BE-.
II is. however, the plan
Of the city's defenders, il the Night
ever get up enough courage
to make > raid, as they have upon
Hopkinsyille and other kentucky
to let them enter; to guard
the ways Of egress so that none Of
them escape, and to kill them all in
the streets, if possible.
I do not care to advertise too thor
the plans Of the defenders Of
GAINESVILLE, but my advice to any en-
terprising band Of Night Riders is to
stay away. For the town is not only
a camp at present, but to the invader
it would be a trap as well. Some
towns are reported to have
invested in Gatlings and Maxims, but
GAINESVILLE wants the Night Riders TO
get far enough into the city 50 that
the range will be nice and easy for
No. 5 buckshot, which Gas one citizen
expressed It to mel certainly does
DO considerable tearin'. .-D0N MAR

Concrete Railroad BRIDGES.

Reinforced concrete bridges possess
nearly all the qualities that are de
sirable il a bridge for railway traf-
fic, says Cement Age, New York Re
inforced concrete bridges are abso-
lutely permanent Concrete is more
durable than stone itself. Concrete
is the best preservative that has ever
been discovered for STEEL A rein
forced concrete bridge, therefore,
built of concrete and with all steel
reinforcements thoroughly imbedded,
comes as near to being a permanent
structure as it is possible to devise
with material at present known and
used. In addition to this feature of
lack of deterioration, this type of
structure has still more important
advantage over other kinds of
bridges; steel and wooden bridges
grow weaker from rust and decay from
the very first day of erection Traffic
On our steam railways has increased
in weight SO rapidly and steadily that
many bridges built not more than ten
years ago are now too light for traf-
fic. Electric railways are proving no
exception to this rule, and the pros
poets are that loading for street and
interurban railways will increase
even more rapidly. The day must
come very quickly then, when the
bridge of decreasing strength will be
overloaded by the rapidly increasing
traffic and will either collapse or re-
quire Strengthening or replacing. The
reinforced concrete bridge, ON the
other hand grows stronger with age
and in a more rapidly increasing ra-
ito than the increase of traffic, so
that a bridge of this type is not only
free from deterioration, but actually
provides for future contingencies of
travel, and is therefore permanent in
the highest sense.

CANADA ABANDONS
BIG ICE CARNIVAL
WINTER FESTIVITIES ADVERTISE
TOO STRONGLY BAD WEALTH
Err CHARACTERISTICS.
A PICTURESQUE FEATURE OF
NORTH AMERICAN LIFE is
DOOMED TO PASS.

Abandonment of plans for the win
ter ice carnival at Montreal, which
seems likely to follow the recent de-
cision of the Canadian railroads to
refuse their support, will mark the
final passing of an institution that
twenty years ago was one of the
most picturesque features of North
American life. 1t doesn't take any
stretch of the imagination to remem-
Der the time when the annual winter
oarniyals in st. Paul, Montreal and
other cities were as established a
feature in the north as the mardi
gas festival at New Orleans in the
sGuth.
The winter carnival idea had its
or gin in Europe, whe,e the famous
ice palaces at Moscow and st. Peters
burg, built on an enormous scale
and lasting late into TIE spring and
simmer, drew crowds of tourists and
were recognized centers O. white"
life Ti.nter carnivals we're also pop
ular in Norway, Sweden and Den
marx. whence many of the customs
peculiar to them were brought to this
gentry by immigrants aho settled in
the northwest.
The st. Paul carnival was the best
known in this country. A palace of
ice was erected every year and con-
tests in all kinds of winter sports
were held. The Montreal carnival
was patterned along the same line
and an enormous palace of ice and
snow was erected which served as
the center of series of international
winter sports. Prizes were offered
for fancy skating and for the winners
in snowshoe contests.
Trappers and guides from all over
Canada in picturesque costumes came
with their snowshoes to- enter these
contests and the rivalry was keen.
Hockey matches were held and con-
tests were held in curling. Perhaps
the most interesting of all the events
was the skeeing. Long slides of
snow were built with jumps and OBJ
stacles and the spectators held their
breath while the contestants in their
red caps and balancing their long
poles shot down the incline, curved
up over the bump and shot through
the air to the slide below
The carnival ended with the siege
and storming of the ice palace, in
which those who had taken part in
the carnival were divided into two
parties, one to defend the palace and
the other to capture it.
Both the ST. Paul and Montreal car
nivals were abandoned because it
was considered that they advertised
too strongly the winter features of
the climate and gave a false impress
sion of the real conditions in Canada
and the northwest. Since then both
Minnesota and Canada have shown
the error of the old popular opinion
that there is nothing but ice in the
north"
An effort was made this year to
revive the winter carnival at Montre-
al on the theory that it was a pictur-
esuue feature which ought to be OBJ
served and that it would no longer
create prejudice by calling attention
to the winter features of the climate.
The Canadian railroads took issue
with the people of Montreal and at a
meeting of the Western Canadian
Passenger association it was definite
" decided to discourage the holding
of the event.
