tereSted in current events and
Governmental affairs.
Remembers His Youth
In spite Of his advanced age
Taylor receives his guests with
a firm handclaSp and never tires
OF relating stories Of nearly q
century ago, which have their
significance in coming from a
mind that is stored with knowl
edge, that seems to grow stronger
with the passing years.. He re

come OUT.
Today Taylor enjoys his after
dinner cigar without any dis
agreeable complications.
Stole a Kiss
Taylor moved to Hazel Green,
Wis, in 1847, where he was en-
gagged in lead mining. He went
to a Fourth of July celebration
there in 1849 with cousin. He
had met Miss Arminda Eastman,
who. accompanied him for the
day. Taylor remembers the de-
tails of that day very vividly,
especially the kiss he stole from
the beautiful miss on the way
home.
She took it as an insult" he
stated, "and lightly so, for me to
kiss her the first day I ever saw
her"
Taylor eceive(. no invitation to
call again when he left the young
lady that evening and it was
nearly year and a half before
he again came into the good
graceS Of Miss Eastman. This
time he met her under favorable
circumstances in her own home.
He lost no time and four months
later, January !, 1852, she be-
came his wife. They had seven
children, five of whom are living.
There are II grandchildren and
Is great grandchildren.
Gets Gold Fever
Taylor soon became afflicted
with the gold fever, which was
sweeping the country at that
time, and started on the long trek
to California in search of treasure.
The caravan he accompanied con-
sisted Of ten prairie Schooners,
each being drawn by six oxen.
The party set out April 13, 1852.
Indians and wild beasts were
repeatedly encountered and two
OF the party were killed. The
survivors reached Fort Laramie,
Wyo, on June 20. They started
across the mountains at Fremont
Pass on July /, but so perilouS
was their journey that they did
not reach the gold fields until
the next March.
Taylor was partially successful
with his claim, panning out 81, 500
worth Of gold and selling his
claim for $3.50.
After considerable prospecting
I failed to find another claim to
my liking and decided to return
nome. I had had enough Of the
travelling with OK teams and as
passage was cheap, went back by
steamer" he relates.
Finally Reached New York
He sailed from San Francisco
in November, 1853 on the North
ern Light. This ship has since
been presented to the Government
by the Vanderbilts. It was the
pride Of the shipping circles then.
but would be little more than a
schooner now. After a long, hard
"trip around the horn, in which
many storms were encountered,
Taylor landed at New York.
Uncle Henry and his wife
again started West in the spring
OF 1873. This time they were in
search Of a home, not gold, and
tney found it. Again prairie
schooners were used, but thew
were drawn by horses this time
and the trip was made in much
better time. -
They arrived in Furnas county

WATER SHEDS VERSUS RIVERS

Numerous cities are making plans 10 extend their watersheds to pro- vide for the future, Hartford and New Britain proposing 10 join in such an undertaking. The time is not far distant when all the avail able watersheds within convenient distances Of the large cities will have been taken, and as the need for water increases. what next?
 It seems astonishing that where nature has provided such water resources as those existing along the Atlantic seaboard that the wise human beings along their banks did not know enough 10 permit nature to continue supplying clear water instead of polluting it so that the water cannot be utilized for drinking purposes,
 There is the Connecticut river for instance, biscctins the state and in its original form providing enough drinking water. with very little need for purification. for mill lions more than at present live along the Connecticut Valley. But for drinking purposes the value Of the river has been utterly destroyed, although it could be returned to it's pristine value were there a radical departure all along the line, which means reversal of the pollution business to orc of every town and city and every manufacturing ln- stitution along it's winding way talk ing other means of disposing Of their waste.
 Instead of that the cities needing more drinking water must get at the water before it flows into the streams that iced the UlS FlNCf- llS requires vast engineering efforts and the use ot watersheds eXtend- ing over wide areas: and the water sheds are limited.
 The cities have not yet learned all that is in store for them. and in the future generations, wAen worst comes to worst" there no doub, will he a return 10 the use Of inc major streams as a water supply. for which they no doubt Nern at lcast partly lntondod.

lines buy into such railroads as the l. C. (. would not permit directly. 1 The B. X o. might start a contest for the most appropriate name for it's holding company.
 The Western Maryland and the B. X Q. do compete, after a fashion being fairly parallel lines as far west as Pittsburgh. From there on the Western Maryland is out of luck. Some would say that this isn't very strenuous competition for long hauls, the E. X 0. running all the way 10 Chicago.
 If the E. (, 0. must drop the Western Maryland it is logical to as sume that something will have to bc done regarding the Pennsylvania 5 ownership of stock in the Wabash, which "competes" with the Pennsyl- lania west Of Pittsburgh. and which was designated as a trunk line in the recent l. C. C. merger plan. The two instances are of the same color strong roads getting control of weaker competing systems.
 Acquisition Of the Western Mary land was a most astute move by the E. x o. some years ago, and the order to divest itself of the line will be blow to the aspirations Of this rcyivified railroad. But there arc bright edges to the clouds: Complete acquisition Of the Reading and the New Jersey Central is in prospect and appears to meet with the ap- provai Of the l. C. C. That would give Mr. Williard's system entry into New York in it's own name, and he is not the type of man to overlook the possibilities.
 By the way, Mir. Willard is the most renowned New Englander in the railroad business, virtually all the present managers Of New Eng land lines having been brought here rom els eWhere.
