the utmost importance II is the big
head that counts. The eight hundred
feet is the alluring element in the Zoar
project, but this meaIk the harmonizing
OF hundreds of interests. This endeayor
has been proceeding quietly for months.
Wherever possible the water rights have
been bought outright; sometimes it has
been necessary to buy the farm, selling
it back to some new customer, deprived
by the terms Of the deed OF the water
right Such landed estate is known as
mud farm.
Have the purchases been completed
so that this project will surely proceed!
Those best informed, here and in Boston,
answer in the affirmative. Large invest
ments have certainly been made Engi-
neers are at work here on the ground, and
Judging from what has been done by the
same management at Vernon this is in
all probability real thing, and one OF
pre-eminent importance in New England s
industrial history.

Where is That Valley in Vermont?

What surprises the visitor who hears
the story in this region is where the en-
gineers could find valley in Vermont,
In which water may be impounded, that
lies fourteen hundred feet above the level
of the sea. The railroad station here
at Zoar is 62O feet above the sea level.
The ordinary conception OF a valley IN
New England is not something possess
ing an elevation of 400 feet. But the
Geological Survey maps published by
the United States Government, with
their carefully marked profile lines. rep
produced in general terms in an adIoin-
ING column, show the actual existence OF
such levels in the Wilmington Valley,
inst across the Vermont line. Few peo-
Die realize how high this corner of New
England is, including, as it does, the
northwestern part of Massachusetts, and
southern Vermont The people OF this
town tell about swamp" to the north
of Rowe Swamp" it is by comparison
with the surrounding attitudes, and yet
the Pelham brook flows at an elevation
in excess of 1900 feet, and most OF the
so-called swamp is still higher than that
At Davis Bridge, high dam will be
built to hold back the flood waters OF the
Deerfield, creating in the canon Of, the
river an artificial lake eight miles long
This will blot out highways and farm
houses much as our metropolitan water
supply system did at West Boylston, eX-
cept that the Deerfield, where 1t runs
through the town of Wilmington, hap
mems to be much in the wilderness. Little
,ronertv will be disturbed by the creation
Of the artificial lake 1t is believed that
a fifty days water supply can thus be
here above the high level
outlet, This will be very large factor
in the success of the enterprise. even
though in the last two years a much longer
neriod than that has in the autumn elaps-
ed without rainfall. In l9OS or l9o9,
a fifty-day reservoir would have gwen
out long before the water came; but the
records of rainfall for twenty-seven
wears of this region make such a pro,
vision seem reasonably adequate, and, OF
coarse, supplemental coal-burnng plant
will be necessary.
From the artificial lake above Davis
bridge the water will be brought in fiume
along the contour lines to Zoar. This
Anne will lie at an elevation probably
Of 400 feet above sea level. This will
make an SOO-foot drop, minus the slight
descent necessary to keep the water NOV
inc in it. These contour fumes are very
familiar in the irrigation work OF the West,
as we'll as in the identification expert
ments everywhere. Three studies have
been made of this territory, with levels
IF 1900, 1900 and 400 feet above sea
evel, respectively; The choice i1r the
engineers was to decide between en- .he au-
rantapes of head and storage. The higher
he f1me the greater the head at Zoar;
he lower the fume the longer the reser-
roir 's waters would last in time of drought,
4 would be expensive to construct two
iumes. one for high water and the other
or low. Moreover, the lower half OF
with the lessening area at the
bottom. is rapidly depleted.
The idea Of contour fiume is very

If it does you should know that backache
is generally caused by weak or diseased
kidneys. A medicine called 'fKidnets' has

1t stops frequent urination. Druggists and

Especial Dispotch 10 The Call

Especial Dnpotoh 10 The Call
SAN JOSE, May 3.-Mrs. Catherine
McNally, owner of more than one third
of the stock in the San Jose undertak-
ing company, started an action in the
superior court today against the direc-
tors, E. z. GUNNER, NJ. A. Boulware,
NJ. z. GUNNER, Mrs L L. Dunbar and
Frank GUNNER, to bring about an ac-
counting of the books of the corpo-
ration.
A conspiracy, she charges, has been
on foot for the last two or three years,
participated in by the directors, to
keep her from obtaining her share of
the profits of the concern.
She swears that in October 1908,
when there was on hand something like
$4,000, which should have been divided
among the stock holders, a motion was
passed by the board of directors to
double the salaries of the officers.
She considered that the $3.50 a month
each these men was receiving when the
raise was ordered was sufficient com
pensation for their services.
