CLEANING THE RESERVOIR.
Of Mud from Big Cavity on Chestnut
Hlll-New Fence viii Be Butt.

To clean the Chestnut Hin reservoir
has proved to be a longer task than was
anticipated on account of the amount of
mud in the bottom and on the sides and
of the obstinate consistency of the mud.
When the water had been drawn down
nearly to the bottom it was shut off in
order that there might be enough to mix
with the dirt as 1t was washed down
from the sides. A hydrant was at
tached to the supply pipe at the top of
the reservoir and 400 feet of fire hose
was attached which was enough to
reach to the upper end and give pres
sure of 80 pounds or more. The men
doing the work under the direction of
Christie b. Crowell have washed out
tons and tons of mud, and three or four
days more will be consumed in that
work, after which the reservoir will be
allowed to fill gradually. The mud found
its way into the reservoir partly from
the West Brattleboro pipe line and partly
from the line to the pumping station on
West river, but with the new supply
from Pleasant valley many years will
elapse before there is need of cleaning
it out again. Many suckers have been
taken out. Probably they were pumped
in from West river when they were
small. Persons who never before saw
the reservoir empty are much surprised
at the size of the cavity, largely cut out
of rock. 1t is nearly 400 feet long, $50
feet wide and in one place 80 feet deep.
The pieces of rock blasted out were
used in building up the sides
The reservoir was built about p years
ago. Some years later it was drawn off
and cleaned, but as there was no pres
sure then a hose could not be used and
the men had to resort to brooms and
pals of water. consequently they could
not do a thorough job such as they are
doing now. A few years ago the Wes
Brattleboro supply became frozen anC
there was difficulty in getting a supply
from West river, so the reservoir became
nearly empty again Those are the only
times until now that the water has beer
drawn down low.
When the reservoir was built the sup
ply pipe entered at the lower end. clost
to the bottom, and extended nearly t.
the upper end BY having the water
| spill at the upper end a good circulation
was certain. When the supply froze
few years ago and the water became low
the supply pipe was broken by the ice
and since then it has not been used. bu
another pipe was extended over the tor
of the wall and the water allowed tC
flow through that Now that the ole
supply pipe has been laid bare again II
will be repaired and put into commits
| sion and the pipe on top of the wall will
| be discontinued, thus insuring good cir
/ culatiOn again.
\ new wire fence will be constructed
/ entirely around the reservoir and thu
/ public will be notified to keep outside til,
! enclosure or become liable to the pen
| alties prescribed for trespass.

STILL A MYSTERY.

The mystery of the killing of Heath
the painter, in the home of the well-to-
do and relgiously -inclined Mrs Florence
Dodge in Lunenburg has not been
solved, although Mrs. Dodge has been
convicted of manslaughter, and SEN
fenced to a term of not more than six
nor less than four years in the state
prison The fact that Mrs. Dodge
had the exclusive opportunity to commit
the crime left the jury with but little
choice in deciding the question of guilt.
The defence on the theory of accident
was weak in view of the admission that
three shots were fired. There was moth
ing in the evidence to show premedta-
ton, and no light was thrown upon the
question of motive. Mrs. Dodges goes
to prison declaring that she is innocent
and that her conscience is clear.

1T is a very laudable purpose the
Vermont Teachers Retirement Fund as
ISOLATION has in collecting a fund to aid
in the support of teachers forced to re-
tire on account of age. If they succeed
they will furnish a belated compensation
that all successful public school teachers
have earned.-[St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
Read this, now. 1t is heresy, but The
Messenger will venture it, as it has
risked many heresies before
The time will come when the people of
this greatest eXemplifcation of free gov
eminent on earth will awake to realize
that
If it is national prudence to take their
pick of the flower of young manhood
educate it to the military professions
employ it for the period of the most
usefulness in a human life at good salary
to devote its brain and energies
solely to the art of war and the most
expert way of killing and destroying
fellow mortals; and then retiring it on
a handsome pension for the remainder of
its days
They will also conclude that it is in
finitely more the part of national pru-
dence to take their pick of the flower Of
young brains; educate it to the great and
ennobling task of dispelling ignorance,
uplifting the human mind, qualifying
fellow mortals to live easier, happier, and
holier and to pursue careers of great
usefulness to themselves and to the
race and then retiring it at age on
handsome pension for the remainder Of
its days
We may not have outgrown the ne
cessity for warriors yet.
We certainly have not grown up to
the true appreciation of the necessity for
school teachers yet
The school teachers, the world over,
will some day,-far off, perhaps, but
some day-put the warriors out of bust
ness.
In the meantime, the warrior gets
their pension.-GSt. Adams Messenger.

WANTED-A FEW FINES,

The speed mania has reached the
chronic stage in Bratteboro among GER
tain individuals who drive motor cars
through the streets daily at the rate OF
% miles to 40 miles an hour. Luckily
no serious accidents have occurred, but
the danger is imminent so long as the
reckless driving of cars by some auto
mobilists is allowed to continue. There
are many owners of cars who always
exercise proper precautions and give due
consideration to the rights of other peo-
pie, but the arrest of a few speed mer-
chants and the application of fines to
them at once would have a salutary,
safeguarding effect in cases where
friendly hints and warnings are not heed
ed.
