it is so wide. 1t has taken four years
to construct it, and it is one of the
worlds greatest engineering feats, and
gives to America the largest water res
ervoir in the world. 1t has cost $780,
900, and when anybody makes any re-
marks about the cost of it Chief Engi-
neer Newell points with pride to the
speck on the map, the land of desola-
ton and barren wastes. of sage brush
and aikali dust and sand which will be
transformed into grass and corn lands
by the waters from the Roosevelt Dam.
Two thousand square miles of territory
will be reclaimed. This will make 25,-
900 farms, each large enough to sup
port at least five people, so that the
work would mean a farm for fully
125, 900 Americans. 1t is estimated that
each acre will yield from $25 to $50.
One of the remarkable things about the
Roosevelt Dam will be the effacement
of the pretty little town of Roosevelt.
The town of Roosevelt Is constructed
halfway between the railroad and the
dam, and connected with each by a
model highway. which cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars to construct, be-
fore a pick could be driven into the
soil for the construction of the dam, as
all material for the dam had to be cart
ed up the cliffs of the canyon. 1t is a
little town of shacks and tents. but has
been a thing of life and interest ever
since the dam has been building. Its
day Is over. 1t stands in the way Of
the rising waters, and when the water
in the reservoir is ready to cover the
desert the little town will be stripped
of all that can be taken away and left
to its fate. The waters will gradually
rise and rise until they cover the roof
of the highest house in the little town.
1t is not worth while to tear it down,
because it would cost too much to take
1t away.

country had such in
ttantaneous success and wide
popularity as the "Si Klesa"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers, and these increased
II geoEaetrieal ratio as the

1t is the story plainly, SIM

development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affee-
'tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is .
universal agreement that it d
far the best story of the az
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that haS
ever been written. EvsrE

were very sweet, bright girls, dressed
charmingly and did not overdress Their

at that time was Engineer of the PAN

sisters married the Duke de Chaulnes,
of Paris, and within three months was
wearing crepe for him. She, with her
money, proved very acceptable to the
de Chaulnes in Paris, and they have
been extremely attentive to her. The
sister, who is visiting her, has been
much entertained by the so-calIed no.

day. Mrs. ConnOr was travelling, and
in the ladies' room at the Union Station
in Baltimore took off her diamond and
emerald ring to wash her hands. She
laid it on the shelf, and then walked off
and left 1t there. In few moments
she remembered 1t, walked back, but 1t
was not there, strange to say. 1t is
unpardonably silly for women when
travelling to display jewels of this value
upon their person, and there is not a
tremendous lot of sympathy wasted up
on them when the same are stolen, and
one can't help believing that a woman
is good deal of chump who will lay
a piece of jswelry down on a washstand
in a public washroom. Anyhow, 1t is
supposed that a woman who can afford
rings as costly as that can also afford a
nickel for private washroom which
locks as she goes out and would save
her valuables until she thinks to go

speech delivered last week before the
Progressive Republican organization of
Cleveland, declared that the Nation Is
in a critical situation, that a problem
confronts the country whether the fight
of the progressives is to be carried to a
successful issue OF whether they are to
surrender and admit that Government
for and of and by the people is a fail

Another handsome trophy has been

winners of the Daytona Beach speed

Realty, Title and Insurance Co. this
morning announced that the officials
OF the corporation had voted a beau
tiful cup to the Florida East Coast
Automobile Association to be hung
Up in one Of the stock car races.
The trophy was selected from a
large number of photographs of de-
signs sent out by manufacturers in
Boston, Providence and New York.
cup stands twenty-eight inches high
and is twenty six inches in circum-
ference A border of laurel leaves
adorns the top and bottom, while in
the center, on both sides, are hand
some designs of racing automobiles
in bas relief, with a figure of Mer-
curry urging the pilots on to victory.
Appropriate inscription will be added
to the present embellishments, and,
taken in all, it is doubtful if a more
handsome prize was ever awarded in
a stock car event.

Since I have seen the manner in
which autOmodilists and the press
all over the country have welcomed

DE a Daytona Beach meeting this sea-
son, am indeed glad that the local
club did not abandon the races this
year.
There is hardly a doubt in my
mind but that the one and two mile
records will be broken next month,
and Of course, this means that the
long and middle distance marks will
simply be slaughtered. The out
come will determine if it is possible
for local interests TO conduct these
meets at a nominal cost, thus max
ing a speed carnival each winter a
fixture, with the dates selected
months ahead so that all advertising
issued by the hotels and the rail
roads may give all information long

YACHT CLUB TO DEEPEN
Water AROUND DOCKS.
AN APPROPRIATION HAS BEEN
MADE FOR THE PURPOSE -
FILLING TO GO ON CITY IS
LAND.

At the regular meeting Of the Hall
AK River Yacht Club Wednesday
night an appropriation of $500 was
made toward the work of deepen
ing the water at the club house docks
so that boats which can enter the
channel may have no difficulty in
approaching te building.
The amount appropriated will not
accomplish nearly so much as the
members OF the Yacht Club would
like to see done, but is all the club
can manage at the present time.
Some of the members feel that the
merchants. who would benefit from
the sale of supplies to cruising par
ties, should be willing to subscribe
toward the work. They would like
tc have a basin excavated all around
the club house, so that a large fleet
Of boats could anchor there at the
same time.
The work now proposed contem-
plates only a very necessary ap-
proach to the docks with an average
depth of perhaps four feet at ex-
IRENE low tide, so that boats of
some size may enter without drag
ging.
The earth from this excavation will
have to be disposed of and it is
proposed to use it to finish the fill
on the City Island, and Alderman (.
J. Mills thinks there will be sufficient
material to complete the work
