VIEW OF THE FERNBANK DAM AND STEAMER IN THE LOCK

at distance Of twenty or more miles
apart, according to the topography of
the country. A number of these dams
and locks are already completed.
Construction of the Fernbank dam
was begun in May, 1905. 1t is about
1000 feet wide and is made up of 325
wickets, each slightly more than three
feet wide. At low water these wickets
are raised, forming a dam twelve feet
in height which extends across the en-
tire river. When the river is high the
wickets are lowered and lie perfectly
fat on the bottom of the river. On the
Ohio side is located the lock. which is
used at low water. This lock is 1,SOO
feet long with its approaches The
lock proper in which the boats are
raised or lowered to the level of the
river is 600 feet long and 10 feet wide,
1t requires about twenty minutes To
pass boat from one level to the other,
The lock, which forms one Of the
most vital parts of the dam, is on the
Ohio shore. 1t is 600 feet long and 11O
feet wide, and the walls forming it are
thick ana heavy. The lock is closed by
an upper and a lower gate made OF
steel and heavy timbers. Each gate
is operated by a compressed air en-
gine. The lock is so large that 1t can
hold and lock through several steam
boats or ten coal barges at once. When
a vessel enters the lock from the lower
pool the gates are closed and water
pours into the lock through sixteen
sluices in the upper wall Of the lock
to raise the level to that OF the upper
pool There are also sluices in the
gates, so that water may be admitted
through the upper gate and discharged
through the lower gate. In the lower
side of the lock wall are sixteen sluices
to permit the water to flow out Of the
lock.

months of the year instead Of being
compelled to cease operations at vari-

The series Of dams will overcome the
fall of the river, which at Pittsburg is
691.56 feet above sea level and at Cal
70 272 feet above sea level, drop of
419.5G feet, and provide a series of
pools or inland lakes, connected by
locks, which will insure a stage of at
least nine feet of water at all points

river. The dams will be from eight

New Hampshire has long enjoyed
heavy summer resort business. It's
White mountains have been famous
resort for generations and that region
has been we'll advertised by the rail-
road and hotel companies. Or late
years the state itself has done much
to advertise itself along certain lines.
Some think the New Hampshire plan
of publicity is open to criticism in
working too much along the line OF
developing a mere summer popula-
ton. Perhaps Vermont can improve
on that plan. In any case the at
fractions of the Green Mountains need
to be brought more fully to the at

In Memory Of Captain Rufus r. Averill.


We shall miss our gallant Captain,
Captain OF the launch, keeWayo1l;
Miss his stately form and figure,
Hiss his voice in kindly greeting,
For his baroue has hoated down stream.
Floated to beyond our vision,
With the ebbing of life's waters,
To the Vale OF the Hereafter.
Glad WIS are that we have known him;
Listened to his stories, legends,
Sailed with him upon the waters,
Seen, with him the rock hewn pictures
Carved so hie b upon the mouOLsiD;
Ploug ned, WITH him, the flaming Uiitows,
Watched, with him, for storm or sunshine,
Harked with him for myriad bird calls,
Drawn, with him, at last to anchor
By So 'e end quiet moorlng.
Daily the KsewaydiD passes
By ous door In stately greeting,
Like white bird from the NorChiand;
But the kindly gray beard Captain
stands no longer at tire helm wheel,
| Points no more to Natures wonders,
| Watches not fer song and story
| La the woods and waves and MOUNTAINS
Long his name will live among uf,
| Longer than the launch Keewayd1r,
Long az memory is left US,
| In our stories and traditions,
La cur dreams of lake and woodland.
still the waves dance and the sunshine
G.ints as fair among the bircbes,
Aud tina "iedge hawks" scream and circle
N ar the sky line far above us.
Sill cur life goes on as ever,
Siuce he gallant Ca plains left US
But there stays behind, shadow
Lurking in familiar places,
Like Voiceisss, heeting vision
Full Of speech yeS, ever silent.
How we heed such strange insistence,
Deeper than the ioudest clamor,
And We would that when our time comes
To float down the silent river.
Past the ken of earthly vision,
To the sunset Gates of Heaven,
Tnat our barqus might find mo0rin9,
Still aud peaceful as our Captains,
Captain OF the launch, Keew6ydir.
