Largest Dam For Utah.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 25.-J. L. Rich
ardson, engineer of the United States
reclamation service, has begun official
surveys for the establishment Of Il site
for what will be the largest c%onserva-
ton dam in the United States and
probably in the world. 1t will be built
near the junction of the Grand and
Green rivers in southeastern Utah.
The proposed building Of the dam is
the result Of Investigations by Sir Will
liam Willcocks, builder of the AS
souan dam, who says that it will prove
the keynote Of the control of the Colo
RADIO river, which annually causes mil
lions of dollars damage in the Imperial
valley in California.
If the tentative outlines prove feas-
ible the dam will be 175 feet high and
nearly a mile along the crest. 1t will
conserve more than 10000 OO acre feet
Of water. Casual estimates of the gov
eminent engineers indicate that the
total cost of the dam will exceed So
OOO.OOO. Incidentally the building Of
the dam will bring vast areas of Utah
land under cultivation by irrigation.
1t is said that work will start within
the next six months.

MAKING Rural Life Attractive.

lola, Kan, Aug. 24.-.All the good
things Of life are not confined within
the cities, and the lure Of the town is
no stronger than the lure of the rural
home, Allen county farmers believe.
To demonstrate effectively this con
viction and to return the courtesy of
the townSpeOple, who Oh many occa-
siOns have arranged special tents in
their honor, Allen county citizens have
started a series of entertainments to
which they are inviting the residents
of the towns of the county.
At the first of these entertainments.
given south of Humboldt, nearly 1000
persons assembled to be guests OF
their country cousins.
The second entertainment was held
at Pleasant valley. near lola. Away
from the hot, dusty city streets, the
inevitable picture show. the dance and
the street fakir. and ri in the fresh.
pure air of the valley. in Il grove
tlanked by fields of ripencd grain and
growing crops. the folk OF the own
mingled with the folk of the country.
The Inauguration of this novel man
ner of prompting good fellowship anu
friendly feeling is largely the result of
the general though unorganizel move
ment of the farmers of this county to
keep the girls and boys on the farm.
The farmers here also have. adopted
the policy of giving the sons a work
ing interest in the farms. 1t Is csti-
mated that there are fewer boys and
girls leaving the farms at Allen conn-
ty than of any otter county in the
state.

Discouraoino Spendthrifts.

New York, Aug. 23.-Have the Amer

1t has been the custom of many
Americans in %bewailing the high cost
of living to place the blame on the
trusts, the tariff or some other agen-
cy. OF late, however. there has come
into public notice a body known as the
American Society For Thrift, which
individually and collectively declares
that the high cost of living is not so
much chargeable to trusts or other
agencies as to the prodigal and spend

Dog Power on Alaskan Railroad.


Nome, Alaska, Aug. 25.-Locomotives,
and the ordinary freight passenger cars
have been retired in favor of dogs on
the Seward Peninsular railroad, the
"farthest north" railroad of the world.
The road gun from Nome to Kouga-
rok, eighty miles.
The chief reason for the adoption Of
dog power was the government tax of
500 a mile per nnu The officers of
the road found thai it was impossible
to earn enough to pay the very high
price of coal for the locomotives and
the government tax as we'll and there
fore decided to discontinue the trains.
This was found to work such a hard
ship on the miners in the KOugafOk re-
gion, as mails and freight were greatly
delayed, that they agreed to accept the
proposition Of Pete Yaeger, the govern
ment mail contractor, who offered to
lease the line.
l. Yaeger constructed light cars that
ran on four wheels with dog power,
and it is said that he has beer making
faster time than the trains used to.
These cars can carry several tons of
| freight and mail and with from ten to
| fifteen dogs make the round trip in a
week.
\ government railroad is projected
that will run from Nome to the Alaska
coal fields. This will bring the price Of
coal down from 500 a ton to about So or
81, and it is expected that the Seward
Peninsular railroad again will become
a steam railroad instead Of a dog road.
| For five years Goa has been brought
from British Columbia and Australia
and has been extensively used in thaw-
ing out the frozen ore and gold depos-
it's. Many Of the mining plants use
coal also. although much fuel oil is
being introduced.

lege to Analyze Beacon.
REGRETS COMPARATIVE TEST

Whatever may be thought of the
product furnished the good people
of the City of Lambertville by the
New Jersey Northern Gas Company
there is no apparent danger of
lack of the supply of that article
known as natural gas" so long as
either the editor of the Lambert
vile Record or friends" of the
editor of the Lambertville Beacon
continue to inhabit its borders.
Smashing a precedent established
by some twenty-five thousand news
papers, and generally upheld by
more than a million and a half
public business men in the United
States, the Lambertville Beacon
last week permitted an anonymous
writer to attack the reputation of
a brother editor and his place of
business in its columns.
A writer styling himself A Gas
Consume" used more than half
a column on the front page of our
esteemed contemporary to tell the
dear public his private opinion of
the Lambertville Record, and especi-
ally its editor, whom he designates
a human gas bag or something
of that sort.
The communication, borrowed
from the Beacon, is reproduced in
full in another column, and those
who feel inclined to fritter away
time are urged to read it entire.

The following communication is
taken from last weeks Lambertville
Beacon:
LAMBERTvILLE, n. j., Jan. 9, 1914.
EDITOR LAMBERTyILLE BEACON,
Lambertville, N. j.
DEAR SIR If you will allow me a
little space in your valuable paper,
would like to call our citizens atten-
ton to a few articles which appeared
in the little pamphlet which is pub
lished in our city, under the name or
the Lom6ertviile Record. In one ar
ticle the editor criticises the manner
i'm which the petition for cheaper gas
was headed, and actually ridicules the
petitioners for signing such petition
I beg to state right here, that carbonic
acid gas is soda water gas, and not
carbonated water gas, as " Dory" says
Riyht here / also wish to state, that |
made little error in heading the petit
ton for cheaper gas as | should have
called it carburetted water gas, instead
of carbonated.
Asa signer of this petition, | wish
toexpress my sincere thanks to "Dory"
for ceiling my attention to this matter
and had + known we had such n com
netent gas expert in our midst, would
have called upon him to head this Pc
tition. then | would have been abso-
lutely sure to have it correct.
WATER GAS Gas obtained by the de-
composition of water. Water III the
form of steam is passed over red hot
coke, resolving it into hydrogen ana
carbonic oxide, the oxygen being alb
sorbed. The hydrogen and carbonic
oxide are then passed through a retort
i'm which carbonaceous matter, such
as resin, is undergoing decomposition,
absorbing therefrom sufficient carbon
to render it luminous when burned.
Now this is where | got in wrong,
i'm calling it carhonated water gas, but
I do not think the error was SO great
that il would lead our friend Dory
to believe that George Wigus had
hand in drawing up the petition. Now
