Maine Gossip


In Memory.
The time was June. Queen month OF the
twelve.
Midsummer glory flooded all the land,
Bird called to bird. full-throated;
The South wind, warm, the grasses
T. famed.
For four score years had summer spread
Its bounty at her feet,
The daisy opened. golden eyed,
The wild rose, dewy sweet.
And life was like a changing day.
Sun, clouds, the falling RAIN.
She met 1t with q face serene,
Its pleasure, care and pain
And as the summer magic wrought
With golden sun and rain,
Her soul touched other souls and sent
Lies message on again.
Where stalwart oak in majesty
Lifts massive arms on high,
Where stately pines their fragrance shed,
And sparkling brook runs by;
In quiet God s.acre's perfect peace,
In summer verdure dressed,
We made her lowly bed and left
Her to her quiet rest.
lis but the fragile casket sleeps,
Freed from all toll and pain.
The jewel OF her spirit dwells
Where endless summers reign.

PARIS, Feb. lon Friday and Sat

Germans tried desperately to pierce
the English lines, the message adds,
but after bayonet struggles, the
Scotch highlanders drove them back
with great loss.
Last night was very quiet says
"a night official statement. This
morning the enemy made a violent
attack on our trenches to the north
of the road between Bethune and La

the Germans left number of dead on

MEXICAN SAYS HUNGRY,

Jose Rodriguez, the Mexican cap

McNew Sunday night, after attempting
10 steal the purse of Mrs. Bertha Pen
nineton, was arraigned before Justice
of the Peace Johnston yesterday after
noon.
Rodriguez was very much surprised
that Il charge should be preferred
against him, claiming the woman had
lost nothing, and therefore no crime
had been committed. He tried further
10 extenuate his action by claiming the
reason for doing so was that he was
hungry, had been out of work for some
time and he had unavailingly sought
work all day. When searched this as
sertion was disproved, by the finding of
s4.S0 in his pockets.
Finding that his plea of innocence
was not being taken into consideration,

would have been saved by the reser-
vor if the entire project had been
completed in 1896 and included 20S,000
acres of irrigable land and 5000
acres of townsites would be 2.625,971
acre feet or 13S,200 acre feet per
year, assuming the water duty as 4.5
acre feet per acre at point of diver
sion we would then have 30,711 acres
to be considered directly benefited
by the reservoir. if we operate it on
borrow and return system-that is
to say borrow when the reservoir is
empty and return when there is wa
ter to return.
The maximum cost per acre will be
by this method and will be for ma
sonry $6S.00 per acre and for rock
will $4,000 and for multiple arched
reinforced concrete $41.50 per acre
The borings prove the bed rock to
be amply safe for a dam of this
height The greatest depth being 40
feet. The dip of the bed rock is not
in the ideal direction, but I have
figured the excavation to extend well
in the bed rock, to assume hori-
zontal plane for the darn to rest upon.
In preparing this information L
have used the most accurate records
available on the flow of the Verde
river and have based the construction
cost on figures used by the more
conservative contractors
All excavations and constructions
have been carefully figured and are
not estimated, therefore. in submit
ting this estimate l do so fully be-
lieving it to be reasonable correct.

Before concluding this report, l
wish to cover briefly the most i'm
portant of the various points to be
considered in project of this kind.
The reservoir site is all that could
be asked for, except the capacity is
small compared with the total amount
of water available for storage at TINS
point.
The dam site can hardly be con-
sidered ideal as the cost to construct
dam with high factor of safety
is large, considering the amount OF
land this reservoir would take care
of it it obtained its supply from the
flood waters onyl That condition Is
readily seen by a study OF Hydro
graph No. l. The entire year OF 1890
was floodless, and the supply would
have been exhausted during By
months of 1900, while during the in
vestigated period of 10 years the re-
servoir would have overflowed dur
ing 10 of the years. A glance at
Hydrograph No. will show that
30 900 acres would be entirely too
much land.
To get an idea of the cost per acre
we will assume the area under this
reservoir to be 10000 acres. The cost
then would be s1O4.33 for masonry
construction, $40.22 for rockfill and
s63.5S for reinforced concrete multi
pie arched construction.
For this project it is unnecessary
to consider it in that way as we now
have the Salt River reservoir and 3
pumping plants to act as an auxiliary
to this supply-therefore, taking the
total water wasted for 10 years as
4,9S6,76S acre feet and the total that
