PROTECT THESE TREES.
To the Editor of the Clinton New Era.
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.

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 .
