An Odd Team.

Over one of the trails of the Sahara desert the queerest of teams is employ ed in drawing a two wheeled cart which carries light freight. The team consists of a camel and a small mule, and, while the loads may be unevenly distributed between them, the mates never disagree. Each draws his DOT ton of the load, the camel loping along with great strides, while the mule trots beside him.

WORK BEGINS ON PIPE LINE TO
 HENEY CREEK

The Cordova Power Company al ready has begun work on the exten- sion of it's water system, which will be built this summer in order to get an auxiliary supply of water from Heney creek.
 F. J. Appleby, with several chain men, today began the survey of the proposed pipe line which will run to Heney creek. After the profile maps are finished the pipe necessary for the construction of the line will be ordered from the outside, and the ac- tive work of installation will begin immediately after the arrival of the pipe. .GfFiLfl3 &A Qp account of the different pres sures to which the pipe will be sub jected, it is impossible to order 1t un- til after the profiles have been fin ished
 | The extension of the pipe line is considered necessary by the power company on account of the shortage of water caused by the unusually cold weather last winter when for the first time in its history Cordova suffered from a water famine.
 It is estimated that fully 500,000 gallons of water is flowing in Heney creek even in the coldest weather, and this added to the already large supply will prove ample for city use under the most adverse conditions.

ent in charge, on behalf of the board

er has been far from favorable for the
quick advance of the work The foun-
dation excavations, however, are shall
low. the foundation being calculated
only to sustain the weight Of a one
story structure, and this admits OF
the work on the primary part of the
structure being advanced far more
rapidly than would be the case were
the building to be of heavier super
structure.
MIR. Cranwell stated that full force
of men were kept at work and that
the only delays thus far met with had
been those brought about by the excer.
sive rains Of the past few days.
Everything, Mr. Cr-uwell stated,
would be wprked out, in the matter Of
the construction work, with minute
attention to detail, while the contrac-
tor the supervising architect and the
superintendent in charge of the work
will exert every effort to have the
building ready for occupancy as near
the expiration Of the time limit as
possible
M. S Cralle, one Of the members Of
the school board. made the statement
that il careful attention to detail and
hard work upon the part Of the con
tractor would make the early compile
ton of the building possible, that OBJ
ject would be accomplished. He stated
that all members Of the school board,
and Superintendent Ramey Of the
city schools. we're taking an active in
terest in the work, each giving the
matter part Of his attention each
