PEOPLE TAKE TO THE HILLS
When FLOOD Threatens to Sweep
Away Entire Town.

An Austin, Pa, dispatch says:
Camped in the snow on the hills the
entire population of Austin, between
1000 and 5000, is in fear that with
in a few hours the town will be swept
away by the breaking of the great
pulp-mill dam.
The concrete wall, 50 feet high
and 500 feet long, stretches between
two hills a mile above the town, and
holds back a lake a mile and a half
long and tifty-tive feet deep.
Yielding to the gigantic pressure
the dam bulged from forty to forty
eight inches, and through seams and
assures in the concrete streams be-
gan to spout. Engineers examined
the structure and warned the inhabi-
tants to take to the hills without de-
lay.
Then began an exodus from the
town. Schools were dismissed, and
children, hurrying home, were drag
ged by their mothers to the higher
ground. Wagons were commanded
to carry out the sick Merchants
closed their stores, and the mills
shut up, while the employees hurried
ly sought safety.
The few houses in the hills, a
school and the hospital, were soon
crowded to overlooking with women
and children, while men camped out
in the snow.

LOVED HUSKY AND DOG ALIKE
In VIA She Left to Each Income of
Trust FaHd of Ten Thou
sand Dollars.


NEW YORK.-The will of Mrs.
Minna Knoch, who died recently
leaving an estate valued at $4,000,
gives the income of $4,000 to her
three dogs for life, which is as much
as she left to her husband, Henry
Knoch. If the dogs die first Edward
Baker, her son by a former mar
riage, is to get the principal Of the
100000 But the income is to go to
the support of the dogs and their
Caretaker during their lives.
Mrs. Knoch was interested in the
work of the Society for the Proven
zion of Cruelty to Animals, to which
she left $4,000. Six relatives are not
mentioned in her will
To guard against her dogs being
neglected Mrs. KnOch instructs her
executor to create trust fund of
$4,000 and pay the income of it to
her hOusekeeper, Emily Meese. The
testatrix directs that her house
keeper shall use the income from
the fund to care for the dogs and
herself, making it clear that the be-
quest is primarily to take care of the
dogs. Her husband is to have the
income of another fund of $4,000,
the principal of which is to go to
her SON after the husbands death.

SHONSHONE DAM COMPLETE
is THE BIGGEST STRUCTURE OF
IT'S KIND IN THE WORLD.

Will Restore an Ancient Lake in wy
oming and Put 1t to Work.
| Four Years on the Job.
The largest structure of its kind
! in the world has just been completed
! in the erection of the Shonshone dam
in western Wyoming. By extending
| the waters of the Shonshone or Snake
river eastward to a point near Cody,
Wyo., and erecting the dam an an
cient lake will be restored which is
said to have existed thousands OF
| years ago
The dam is 328 feet high, 80 feet
! long at the base, 200 feet at the top
and more than 100 feet thick. 1t
will impound water sufficient to irri-
gate 10000 acres of land for two
years, and will create a lake l 4 miles
long and three miles wide, with a
maximum depth of over 200 feet.
Four years have been required to
complete the work.
A smaller dam, known as the Cor
bett diversion project, was completed
last year, says the Omaha Bee. The
lower dam is designed to raise the
water of the Shonshone river about
a feet, carrying it to and through
a tunnel over three miles in length
to the main canal of the Shonshone
project. The next unit in the big
project will be the construction of
the high line canal, which will take
water direct from the big reservoir
and distribute it to many additional
acres in the immediate vicinity of
Cody.
When the waters of the ancent
lake overlooked they gradually wore
a passageway through the solid gran
tie mountain, and in the course of
numberless centuries formed a gorge
eight miles in length and several
hundred feet deep, leaving the lake
bed dry. Behind the solid mountain
of masonry just completed by the re-
clamation service the angry flood wa
tiers of the ShOnShOne river will be
held until once more the ancient lake
is created-this time to be held for
the use and benefit of the settlers on
1872, 900 acres of land.
Before work could be commenced
on the dam the government found it
necessary to construct a wagon road
through the almost inaccessible gorge
worn by the river. In many places
this rOadbed is tunneled through the
rocky sides of the granite walls, and
for several miles a road was blast
ed out of the sheer granite face of
Rattlesnake mountain. This road
now forms the first eight miles of
Cody's magnificent route to the Ma
tional Park. An entire year was re-
CURED to complete the wagon road
The capacity of the reservoir is fig
ured at 148, 588,512,OO0 gallons
The main canals will be 60 miles in
length and the laterals $50 miles
Only the flood waters of the Shon-
shone river will be impounded, and
it is estimated that it will require
two years to fill the lake to its ca
pacity, although the project has a
drainage area of 1880 square miles.
Many fine rancheS-nOW the property

tiers.

Massachusetts,.

serious shortage in Christmas trees
in the regions that have heretofore been
supplied by that section Of Massachusetts
infested by the gypsy and brown-tailej
moths is possibility. This pest has been
serious and spreading one in Massachu-
sets for several years, and the state has
spent hundreds Of thousands of dollars
fighting it. The Department of Agricul-
ture has helped the fight also through the
bureau of entomology.
Now the railroads are said to be taking
a hand and refusing to handle Christmas
trees that are largely exported from the
infected districts without severe inspec-
ton for nests and eggs. The railroads are
also taking steps to prevent the spread OF
the moths by long jumps in the shipment
of lumber. All lumber, railroad ties and
telephone and telegraph posts from the
moth ridden zone have to be carefully
inspected for moth eggs before the rail-
roads will receive them.
One of the recommendations that will
be made to Congress by the Department
of Agriculture this year is for power to
establish a quarantine ring around the
infected zone.
Laurel that is largely used for Christ
mas decoration has been heretofore one
of the important winter shipments from
Rutland, Mass. This, too, has been stop
