Building Dams.

Work is now progressing on three
dams being built by Theo. N. Vail. The
dam at Lyndon Mills, for the electric
light plant Mr.. Vail is to put in there,
and the dam at Chandler Pond are to be
finished, under the contract, by Dec. Is
The pipe line from Chandler Pond to
Speedwell Farms is all laid. Work has
commenced on the dam for the pond in
the basin near Lyndon Institute. When
filled this will be good sized pond. The
road from Lyndon Center to Speed well
Farms, by this pond, is to be straighten-
ed so that the highway will lead over a
portion OF the pond, and an iron bridge
will be built there. Next year a dam for
another pond, in the basin on the other
side of the road from The House at
Speedwell Farms, will be built The
work on these two dams is expected to
be completed the early part of next sum-
mer. There are also plans to build SER
les OF waterfalls between the two ponds.
Moose Seen at Island Pond.
A huge bull moose was seen Thursday
evening OF last week in front of !. w.
Farrell's house on Mountain street in
Island Pond, and the following morning
it was on the railroad track and ran a.
head for a mile or more of the pumper
operated by section gang. 1t then
leaped the wire fence and ran alongside
the track for a few minutes, and disap-
peared in the woods. Later it came
back on the track, walked lesurely a
short distance, and again leaped over
the fence and again made for theswoods.
In making the last jump the bull was
evidently lacerated by the wire fence,
several lengths of which were broken
down and covered with hair and blood.
Tracks show that it went over Bluff
Mountain, Thursday night. Several as
sert that it has been seen the past few
months in various places between Sum-
NIT and Wenlock.
A Sharper Missing.
States Attorney H. B. Shaw is looking
for n. H. Foley, who is alleged to have
victimized various people in Burlington
during the week or more that he disport-
ed there as the representative of the
Arnold Correspondence school" of
Chicago. Foley arrived in Burlington a
week ago last Monday and opened an
office in the Strong building, fitting up the
place good shape having signs painted,
advertising to some extent and spending
money freely. He paid for most of his
purchases with drafts on the Third Ma
tional bank of Chicago. Now the local
authorities can't find that there is
Third National bank; neither an Arnold
Correspondence school, while Foley him
self is not to be found.

Spokane, July 9.--What is desig-

100000 acres of land is to be water
ed at cost of 100000. The
Klickitat Irrigation company is back
ing the scheme, which is to be in ope-
ration within five years. The main
canal will be $50 miles in length and
there will be sixteen reservoirs to be
filled during the winter months and
melting snow from Mount Adams in
summer. The irrigation of this tract,
officially known as the Klickitat pro-
ject, was deemed feasible by govern
ment engineers, who said in their re-
port that the work would be too ex-
pensive, while others said that the
task Is out Of the question The pro-
motors of the enterprise have made a
thorough investigation of the land to
come unded the system, and H. A..
Hollenbeck, secretary Of the company
says that as soon as owners of the 30
900 acres of land sign to pay $50. 90
an acre for perpetual water rights the
work will begin. He announced also
that no payments are to be made until
a year after the delivery Of water.

not be added to durum -four, it being
particularly rich in saccharine con-

durum loaf had very agreeable taste
and was fully as satisfactory as the

ILLNESS OF Il. Il. CALVIN

The many friends of General Man
ager b. E. Calvin of the Southern
Pacific railroad will regret to Learn
that he is very i'll in the hospital a,
San Francisco. Mr.. Calvin is wei
known in this section. He was fol
several years superintendent Of the
Q. S. L. with headquarters at Poca-
tello; afterward general superinten
dent, but for the past three years has
been vice president and general man
ager of the Southern Pacific.
A report of his condition to the
Salt Lake papers Of the 9th says:
'E. e. Calvin rested easily today
following the operation for appendi-
citis. which was performed at the
company's hospital yesterday.
DIR. F. w. Ainsworth, chief sur
geon of the company, stated today
that there was very reason to hope
for an early and complete recovery,
although the condition revealed was
serious.
Mr.. Calvin was first attacked II
years ago and has suffered from in
termittant returns ever since. His
general physical condition is excel
lent, however, and he recovered rapid
ly from the shock of the operation
and effects of the anaesthetic. Reg

-Four years ago the United States
department of agriculture demon
strated in an exhaustive, careful test
the superiority of durum -four as a
bread -four over the heretofore ac-
superlative -four made
from Minnesota spring wheat. From
each kind of -four 200 loaves were
baked, and the 400 loaves were sent
to 200 scientists, bakers, millers,
lousekeepers, and others for compare

cent gave the palm to the durum loaf.
The department of agriculture sum-

KILLING THE FISH
Powerful Motor Boat on Lake Union
Destroys Hundreds of the
s Einny Tribe

| AHhHy IIiUC
Seattle, WASH, July IA Claiming
that the explosions of the hundred
horse power engine in the speedy mo-
tor boat which has the concession to
carry passengers at the foot of the
Pay Streak of the A.-Y.-P. exposition,
are so violent that all of the fish in
the east end OF Lake Union are be-
ing killed, the residents along the
shore of the lake declare that they
will protest with the humane society
against the running of the power
boat.
According to the complaint the lake
shore is lined with dead and stunned
fish after every trip of the powerful
boat 1t is declared that this end of
the lake is SO shallow that any fish
which strays under the swiftly NOV
ing craft is sure to be killed by con-
cussion.
The stencil from the decaying fish
has become SO unbearable that many
OF the campers whose tents line the
shore of the lake opposite the EXPOSE
ton have had to leave, say the COM
plants.
1t is not yet decided whether the
boat will be allowed to continue it's
business of carrying passengers. The
owners claim that there are SO few
fish in the lake that they are not
worth while worrying about. They
point out that the fish which have
been found dead are nearly all worth
less varieties.
The motor boat which is causing all
of the trouble is one of the fastest in
the world, making between thirty and
forty miles an hour The discharge
is into the water behind the boat.
