plan selected has proved the wisdom of the board
appointed for that purpose. The of $45, 100000
was spent by the people in its construction The dam
extends up the river channel from the great head
gates of the canal about and half miles,
gradually receding toward the north bank of the
stream. 1900 immense piling, at cost of $500
each, were driven to form firm anchor for the
large log cribs set firmly against them and filled
with rock hauled from the neighboring hills. Three
large spillways were constructed the dam thus
built, each 10 feet wide, permitting the flood waters
to pass harmlessly and yet holding in check
sufficient water to supply the capacity of the canal
the food waters of spring. The spillways
structed of heavy plankng, making it impossible
for any drift wood floating bodies to lodge upon
the dam and thus check more water than Is desired
The Headgates.
The river bed and canal bottom being of loose,
cobble rock formation, some protection for the
gates against its unstable nature was needed. It
decided this account to build the floor, walls
and abutments of reinforced concrete. The floor
extends Il feet out into the river in front of the
gates and is laid six feet below the bottom of the
river or canal making it impossible for the water
of the stream to wash beneath it. The floor
also extends considerable distance down the canal

these early canals diverted from that channel
In the year 1898, during the flood season of June
and July, the river began to cut it's way through
the hitherto shallow north channel greatly
ducing the water supply of the Dry Bed. The same
thing continued through the year 1894. The eff

1t became apparent that something must be done to
return the water to it's old channel or their canals
would soon be high and dry, and they would suffer
the loss of all their crops. The various corpora

ing. They there decided to unite their interests
far to form company, to be known as
"The Great Feeder Canal Company and proceed
to construct canal across from the north channel
to the Dry Bed, thus returning the water to their
headgates. On the 9th Of January, 1895, notice
was duly posted by the corporation at the
point of intended diversion claiming that the
nal company known as 1.-THE Great Feeder" would
divert 10000 inches of water, measured under
four-inch pressure from the South Fork channel
and stated the purposes for which said diversion
was made. The dam and canal were completed
during that year and the water thus claimed
turned back into the Dry Bed.

100000 inches of water flow out through this net

Eight years ago water stock could have been
bought in any of these canals for from cents to
20 cents acre. Today its cost does not exceed
$500 per acre with an annual cost of about Is
cents per for maintenance. How does this
compare with s35 and $40 per acre, paid for water

Owing to the Strong Case the State Had the
 Defense Offered no Evidence.
KIDNAPpER JAMES BOYLE CONVICTED
Penalty from One Year to Life Imprisonment in Pen itentiary-Sentence Not Yet Pronounced Boyle Placed on Trial-She Preferred Young, Unmarried Jurors-Took Prominent Part in Their Selection.

Mercer, Pa, May 6.-James Boyle, charged with Kidnapping Billy Whitla, was convicted today after a trial lasting but a few hours. No de- 1ense was made and the jury was out but a few minutes. Mrs. Boyle, in dicted under the name of Mary Doe. with half a dozen aliases. was imme- diately placed on trial, charged with aiding and abetting the Kidnapping. Hardly had the jury been sworn in the woman's case when the lawyers be- came engaged in a legal argument re- Earding the admission of certain tes- timony and the case was adjourned until tomorrow morning.
 First Witness for Mrs. Boyle.
 The first witness called by the state in Mrs. Boyle's case was Miss Ella Boyle, a sister of James Boyle. Ap- parently. from the line of questioning, the prosecution wanted to prove by her that the kidnapping conspiracy was formed while Mrs. Boyle was vis- Uing in Sharon with her husband and that she was implicated in it. It is surmised the object of this is to over come her contention that she could not have violated a law in this state while living in Ohio.
 Trial May End Saturday.
 From the earnestness with which the defense opposed the questions asked, it is believed a great deal will depend upon the courts decision as to the admissibility of the testimony in dis pute It is believed that this will be but the beginning of long and bitter legal wrangle, and it is predicted that the woman's trial will not be complet- ed before Saturday afternoon at the earliest
 Selection of Mrs. 5oyle's Jury.
 Mrs. Boyle took a prominent part in the selection of her jury today prompting her attorneys in numerous cases and evidencing a preference for

young, unmarried jurors. The jury Se- lected contains six farmers and four of the jurors are members of the jury that convicted Boyle.
 Strong Case Against James.
 That Boyle's trial came to such an abrupt ending, immediately after the state had rested, was due to the fact that so strong a case had been made against him. From the night before the abduction, when he was seen ill Sharon, till the time of his arrest in Cleveland, almost every movement he made was testified to by one or more witnesses. A man who hired him a horse and buggy, another who saw Boyle driving with Billy in the buggy, the barber who saw the two together, and shaved Boyle's mustache off, train and electric railway conductors who saw the couple on the way to Cleve- land and identified them in court, all told stories which fitted in perfectly with that of Billy Whitla, and left no doubt as to the part Boyle took in the case
 "That is the Man"
 Billy Whitla pointed his finger at the defendant, as he sat in the pr4s- oner's box, and said. with d positive ness that could not be doubted: That is the man." He had been asked if he could point out the man who took him away from Sharon last March, and his answer was given without the slightest hesitation.
 When the state rested counsel for the defense held a conference and an- nounced that they would offer no evil dence. The court at once summed up the evidence gave the case to the jury and a verdict was agreed upon in a few minutes.
 Sentence Not Yet Pronounced.
 The penalty is from one year to a life sentence in penitentiary. Sentence has not been pronounced yet.
