Little Happenines at The Chautauqua.

Numerous little incidents happened
during the days Of the Chautauqua at
Camp Woodwork that formed the topic
Of interesting conversations. Ii was
suggested that a mimeograph machine
should have been carried along and a
daily newspaper issued. This would
have added 10 the merriment. The fol-
lowing are a few Of the amusing occur
rences.
Friday morning C. X. Marshall. to
whom much credit is due for the ar
raneement Of the tents, found that he
needed some gasoline in bis automobile
tank. He got a galvanized pail and
singing a merry lay in the early morn
iry before but a few were out of their
blankets, went down to the power
house and borrowed a bucketful of
buzz wagon Juice. On the return to
his camp he was whistling "Get up,
on. John. John, John; for the Old
GREY Goose is Gone and the Fox Ran
Through the Town" Just as he war
bled of the third John, he stubbed his
right toe on a projecting root. The
bucket of gasoline went up and came
down and drowned the song. a few
people were awakened within a short
radius.

Big CONCRETE WORK
At CELLO CANAL
IT, The Dslles Chronicle)

Mil. ..,,rete for the Cello canal
has been redueed to an exact, science
under the able supervision OF captain
/ n. n Pobsrt. the United States army
enine.as % I. charge. The first great
necessitv IN The procuring Of concrete
that will stspd the wear and tear OF
time ;s - sseure a cement that will
pronerlv weh together the PARTICLES OF
sand ana tbs crushed rock. There is
no guesswork in this department. OF
the WORT al the Big Eddy offices.
Here an expert chemist takes samples
of cements and tests them and by var
ious mscbsnieal and chemical processes
determines which factory output Is the
best adapted for the WORK. -
The nroblem Of securing the proper
quality of saod is not the easy PROPOSE
ton that most people would suppose
after viewing the great sand dunes
prevalent along the banks OF the 20
lumbia river above tbs city. To secure
the best concrete the sand used must
be free from foreign substances such
as decaved vegetable matter and soil.
Machinery has been installed at the
Big rddv mixing plant whereby sand
is manufactured from the great abun-
dance of rock blasted from the canal
itself. The pulyerizing machine is in
reality but great shaft to which is
attached hammers with flexible con-
nections between the hammerheads and
the shaft. The shaft is revolved at
great speed and the hammers, striking
the rock feed to them, reduce 1t to
small pebbles which in turn 60 into
another machine and pass between two
great steel rollers that pulyerize the
pebbles into sands of different fineness.
Captain Robert asserts that this pro-
cess produces higher grade of sand
thanscan be found in any natural de-
posit.
Near the sand mills is located the
great crusher which will consume when
run at capacity, l20 tons of rock each
hour. THERE'S also smaller crusher
with about one third the capacity.
After leaving the crushers and mills
the rock and sand is carried by endless
belts to a dump car which carries the
materials Up steep incline to the top
of the mixing tower where they are
automatically dumped into bins.
After being dumped into the bins
and until mixing of the concrete is
completed and falls into the cars ready
to be transported to the forms ready
to receive it, gravity takes care of the
handling of the materials, thus saving
a great deal of labor and enabling
tremendous amount to be accomplished
in one day. The sand, ro:k and ce-
ment stored in the top of the tower
ruhs downward through pipes to the
floor where each ingredient
entering into the mixture is measured
out and in turn dumped into one of the
to great mixers, where the water is
added in just the right proportion.
After being tumbled about in the great
steel shells until thoroughly mixed the
concrete is dumped into the cars wait
ing on the track below and is conveyed
to the place where it enters into the
of the great waterway.
The capacity of the plant is 400 cubic
yards of concrete per day.

Financial Report for Quarter.
John ID. Confess, sheriff of Brazos
county, turned in report Saturday
for the past quarter in his depart
ment. The fines for the quarter were
$4,000, which is something over $500
per month from that department and
is quite a creditable showing, demon
strating the conscientious manner in
which he looks after the duties of his
office. Eight of these cases were six
shooter cases and the others small
misdemeanor affairs.
Sheriff Conlee and family went to
LaPorte Saturday night, and if he is
as fortunate in landing the fnny tribe
as he is the evil-doer, he will bring
back a long string of fish,

There are many highly spectacular features in the Wild West program, particularly the exhibitions of horse manship. Then there are lariat shooting, trick riding, women riders. and other details of real wild west, as we'll as highly interesting tableaux of Indian life, shown by real Indians in native costumes.
 Bathing continues to wax strong in popular favor while roller skating is another growing craze. Dancing in the Sea Breeze ball room is attract ing larger patronage from day to day. There are scores of other attractions.

States was so successful last summer that from twelve to twenty egrets ap- peared in Eastern Massachusetts and remained here the greater part of two months. No such number has been seen here within the memory of the oldest inhabitant and it is reported that a few are here again this year. The association has succeeded in se- curing the passage of laws in many States making the sale of the plunage Of these, birds illegal, and if this work is sustained financially the public sale of the plumes will be stopped through out North America.
 The egrets are. fast being extermin- ated in every part of the world where they exist, and if they can be pro- tected here the time may come when the United States alone of all the countries in the world can boast of living examples of these beautiful spe- cies.
 Will the American people support this benef1cent work by contributing liberally toward it or shall we see the egrets disappear as did vast hordes of the passenger pigeons?
