! CLEVELAND, Jan. 8. - An under cover reservoir which will hold 125,- 000000 gallons of water and will cost approximately s13,00O,O00, now is under construction here. Engineers state that the reservoir will be in use 1 this year but the entire waterworks addition, started in 1914, will not be 1 finished before 1926.
 The plant covers fifty acres and is l located in one of the city's exclusive residential sections. The concrete cover, supported by 1906 columns thirty inches in diameter and forty 1 feet high, is 1,050 feet long and $50 i feet wide.
 1 The reservoir will not be seen by | the ordinary observer, as it is planned 1 to cover the top with earth and to make an attractive park on top, with walks, shrubbery and artificial lakes.
 Over the raw water conduit is the chemical house in which are four bins holding 217 tons of chemical used ill the purification of the water.

BOY SCOUTS
 HAVE CABIN
 OF THEIR OWN

The Cordova Boy Scouts are rejoic~ ing in the virtual completion of their new headquarters and club-room re- gently erected on the Eyak road just at the edge of town Built at cost which will reach about six hundred dollars on completion, the substantial little edifice is now serving the needs of the doughty young enthusiasts of the local organization. The cabin is gradually being furnished, a stove having been installed, book cases, a table and chairs having been contrib uted, and the personal libraries of the Scouts being levied upon for volumes for the shelves. Situated on the lake shore and at the edge of the woods, the cabin is an ideal headquarters for 1 the outdoor activities of the Scouts, of which there are about dozen active members.
 The building of the cabin owes it's inception to the Big Brother move ment of the local lodge of Elks, with the start of a subscription movement to cover the cost of the building. The contributions were added to by the Masons and Knights of Pythias, and 1 the construction has been under the supervision of a committee of seven, of which K. G. Robinson is secretary and J. V. Lydick is treasurer. Most of the actual work on the building has been donated by local carpenters, the Scouts also having a hand in the con- struction. The Cordova Public Utili- ties Corporation supplies the light for the headquarters free of charge. At present the building is still in more or less rough state, but plans for the early spring call for shingling on the outside and the finishing on the interior with wall-board. AS com fortable and substantial meeting-place for the Scouts the cabin is tribute to the boys organization and to the appreciation on the part of the town of the spirit and purpose behind it. The boys are showing their apprecia- tion by the pride they are taking in fitting it up and taking a proper care of their property.

NATIONS TRANSFORMATION


 Development of the nations trans- portation will be discussed in a meet ing of American business men in New York city next month. The necessity for a correlation of all units of rapid transportation is now readily ad- mitted in railroad and automobile circles.
 The motor vehicle has developed rapidly as an enormous power In the sportation scheme. The auto mobile has become more than just an automatic machine which supplies it's own motive power. In the last de- cade it has changed over until today the motor vehicle is recognized as an essential economic unit in the country's transport.
 MT. IT. N. Bailey of the Motor Sales corporation, one of thousand mem bers of the National Automobile Deal CTS association. Is of the opinion that no one buys an automobile now adays without having his mind on transportation. The thing which compels the interest in an automobile these days, is the fact that the car will take us from where we are. to the doorstep Of the place to which
