place of an open cut A loss of head
or a difference in elevation, of one
foot between the entrance and out
let of the cut would be sufficient,
which means saving of three feet
in the height of water required at
the upper end of the cut. This would
increase the efficiency of the canal
from the end of the present tunnel to
the dam, and would also make the
limited height of fashboards allowed
on the dam far more useful
81 understand that in the future
it is your intention to increase the
quantity of water delivered through
your canal system, and l wish to inn
press upon you that you could make
no better investment for the future,
with no additional expense over the
probable cost of the tunnel enlarg-
ing and lining, than to make an open
cut, instead of bother any furthe,
with the tunnel proposition.
81 have appended an estimated cost
of the construction of the open cut,
on the same sheet as the costs of en-
larging and lining the present tunnel
are shown. You will notice that the
two costs are about the same.
''The material would be easily hand
led in making an open cut, and III
disposing of the soil, it could be
placed in such way as to strengthen
the canal banks at either end of the
cut.
81 desire to say finally that it is
to your best interests, and especially
to the farmers who must ultimately
pay the bill, to make an open cut in
stead of enlarging and lining the
present tunnel.
Respectfully submitted,
F. C. HORN, Engineer"

SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking to the Danaerof the
Extinction Of Animal In This
Country.

There are, according to estimates
made by the National Sportsmen.
about 100000 elk in this country, of
which 1900 are in captivity in 125 diff
ferent places. The largest herd, num-
bering, according to the government
census. between $4,000 and 5000, is
in the Yellowstone region. In the
summer these elk range in the vicinity
of the continental divide IN the park.
Since the settlement of the valleys the
elk which are forced to descend from
the mountnins in the winter In order
to obtain food have starved In large
numbers. Since 1902. winter feeding
has been provided by the state Of
Wyoming and the federal government,
and recently congress appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of 1900 acres
near Jackson Wyo., where sufficient
hay cansbe raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter.. During
late years the government has expert
mented with small herds numbering
about 100, which have been transferred
to 13 different states for the purpose
Of restocking reservations. In this
way it Is hoped that wild elk can be
retained In this country permanently.
The Adirondack herd was rapidly ap-
preaching extinction when the govern
ment and the state of New York took

fate of the buffalo many states will at
tempt to encourage the propagation Of
elk in country which is unfit for farm

A JOKE ON JUSTICE.

For weeks the body Of William Shaw
had been hanging in chains from GLIB
bet near Edinburgh. In daylight and
Darkness, in sunshine and storm, the
poor husk Of that unfortunate man
swung and creaked. Such spectacle
was not uncommon two hundred years
ago, but usually the victim had friends
or sympathizers, who gave the passing
tribute Of tear. William Shaw, how
ever, was an object of general execra-
tion; and passersby shook their fists
at his swaying form and said his fate
was too good for him. Parents took
their children to see that shriveled relic
Of humanity, for no moral lessons could
be too violent in those days, and eau
toned them to mark and remember the
punishment Of man who slew his own
daughter, as bonnie lass as there
was In Edinboro town.
Then one day a clergyman and sew
eral officers Of the law, followed by
many citizens, went to that wayside
gibbet and tenderly took down all that
was left of william Shaw. The re-
mains were borne to the consecrated
ground Of q church cemetery. and there
buried with all pious forms. The min
lister made q talk that melted all the
hearers to tears and representatives
Of the law planted flag on the grave
when the dirt had been filled in.

der, and was doing what she could to
remedy things. 1t wasn't much. and

Then a new tenant moved into the
other side of the house, the side for.
merly occupied by the Shaws, and the
wife OF, the new tenant being an In
dustrious woman, she proceeded to give
the house a thorough cleaning. While
thus engaged she saw piece Of paper
protruding from crevice in the floor
just below the mantel. She drew IT
forth, and when she had read it she
ran screaming to the authorities. For
the paper showed that justice was a
murderer.
The paper was a note written by
Catherine Shaw, and addressed to her
father. In 1t she expressed her de.
termination to end her life, but said
that he was responsible. my death, +"
she said, ''I lay to your charge. When
