SIR,—I notice that the Telephone company is putting up its poles on Princess Street, west, in St. George's ward. . Zf the Goderich papers are right the company was charged with butch- ering shade trees there. From the ap- pearance of things they, are fixing their ayme poles here for the iskind of work. I understand that some of our council - lora have• given permission to put up high poles, and run their wire through the largest trees on the street. I have never been able to find a statute yet giving councils power to allow any company to run wires through street trees; they might as well give power to run through a house. Councils have power to regulate by by-law the dis- tances trees may be plan ted and pruned. If you allow wires to, be run through a tree, they will be cutting a gap through it as fast as it grows; then if you prune that tree 8 feet over the sidewalk, and over the road high enough to pass a load of hay under, what kind of a'shade tree will it look in shape? Can the company be relied on to do right? No. A few years ago they got permission to run their line down Princess St. east; last fall they cut the tops off the trees, and left the limbs in the trees. I say. make them do right at the start. Put up straight poles, put them upright, and not have them like the mast of a ship in a storm, sometimes on one side and then on the other, and keep away from the trees. It is expected that the Mayor and Council will take the same interest in the trees las if they were c their own. I know there are parties who would like to see every tree in town cut down; nothing would please them better. I am, glad there are not many who hold tills view. If persons having trees in front of their premises get them destroyed, haul the offenders up before a magistrate. Yours, W. C. SEARLE. Acknowledgement Of Services Rendered. Sia.—Ther following is an extract from The English Churchman of No- vember 30th; the warning being as much needed '.here in Canada as in En}�laird:—' "Jour RANsI'oBD Clinton, Feb. 12th, 1894. "Once more the services rendered to the Church of Rome by the Ritualists have been suitably acknowledged by a Romain Catholic writer of eminence. In the December number of the Nine- teenth Century, Professor St. George Mivart; a devout subject of the Pope, writes an article on 'The Index and My Article on Hell."'Facts,' he writes, 'should not blind us to the good work the High Church party in the E,s- tablishrnent is doing. The English people are sadly inaccessible to the Catholic clergy, on account of old habits and traditional prejudices; and modern • Catholic worship is often strange and repellant to them. But the Ritualistic ministers of the Estab- lishment can easily obtain a hearing, and succeed in scattering the good seed of Roman doctrine far and wide. We now frequently meet with devout practices which, forty years ago, were unheard of, save to be denounced and scouted, outside the small Catholic body. But Ritualists are rapidly mak- ing the word Protestant' to stink in the nostrils of their congregations, and causing them to regard it as a detest- able form of belief. Thus, not only are our ancient churches being reno- vated and decorated in the Roman spirit, and so prepared for us, but con- gregations to fill them are also being gathered together. The devout and noble -minded men who form the ad- vanced party are preparing the way for a great increase of the Catholic Church in England. The Council of Father Point, Que., has for the fifth time unanimously elected J. McWilliams Mayor. Mr McWilliams is the only Protestant and the only English-speaking person in the entire parish. Mr E. E. Sheppard, of Toronto Sat- urday Night, who is abroad, had his collarbone broken the second day after he landed in London.• It will be•two or three weeks before Mr Sheppard will be able to return to Canada. It is said that before leaving for England the editor of Saturday Night took out an accident policy for $10,000. This provision now stands him in good ttea3.

The Highest Overflow Dana In the World Building In California. Stanislaus county, Cal., is to have the highest overflow dam in the world. It is called the Lit Grange dam and is being constructed for the Modesto and Turlock irrigation districts. Its location is in the canyon of the Tuolumne river, three miles from the town of La Grange. Work on the project was commenced in June, 1891, and has been prosecuted continuously ever since. A force of 200 men has been em- ployed on the work; the total cost of which will be $600,000. The annals of engineering have hitherto recorded as the highest the Vyrnwy dam, which retains the water supply for the city of Liverpool. Its height from base to sum- mit is 127 feet, but the La Grange will be two feet higher. Other celebrated dams, such as the Bear Valley, in San Bernardino county, and the Sweetwater, near San Di- ego, are properly known as reservoirs, and the protectoin of their basins as retaining walls. The La Grange is being built by R. W. Gorrill and will be 360 feet long on top, the plan being curved on a radius of 320 feet. Its maximum height above the foun- dation will bo 127 feet 9 inches. The front face of the wall is made to conform to the curve described by the water in overflow- ing, and to deflect it into the basin in front of the dam. The dam is built of "cyclopean rubble" and is a model of solidity. Huge rocks, weighing from six to ten tons, were first laid on the bottom. All their projecting pieces were cut off, and a fiat but rough surface was prepared for the lower bed. Before being placed in the bottom, all stones, whatever their size, were scrubbed and subjected to the action of numerous jets of water under pressure of 75 feet. The process of construction was as fol- lows: "A level bed was first prepared in the rock and covered with a two inch layer of cement mortar, which was beaten to fres it of air. A large stone was then lowered into position by a steam crane, and was beaten down into the mortar by blows from heavy handmauls. Other largo stones were similarly placed, but so as not to touch each other. The spaces left between them were filled with concrete, which was thrust into the narrow spaces with tampers. "The Work within the reach of each crane was brought up from six to eight feet before the crane was moved. In each course the immense stones were laid so as to bind with those in the course below. No norizontal joints passed through the wall, as the top of each course was left with pro- jecting stones and hollows, which permit it to be well bound with the next course. To make the back face thoroughly water tight, the vertical joints were filled with mortar alone, and into this broken stone was forced." The La Grange dam will distribute water over a territory embracing 276,000 acres. The Turlock district comprises about 198,000 and the Modesto district 78,000 acres. The water will flow over the dam into two ditches. One will bo 80 miles long and 100 feet wide, the other 28 miles long and 80 feet wide. The waters of the Tuolumne river will bo bauked up by the dam in the rocky canyon. A lake will thus be formed four miles long And half a mile wide. An idea of the solidity of the dam may be gathered from the fact that at its base it is 117 feet 9 inches thick, and that of solid stone, forming an indestructible barrier to the lake of water behind.—Pact In 1,” xbYana .
