An army of from 10,000 to 12,.- 000 men----twice the number that will be employed on the Iloover nm ---will work 10 years, and i ,087,000 will be expended. Three dams will be constructed between the ridges of.the Cat- skills, forming gizantic basins. Towns will be engulfed. Farms and quarries will be submerged. This work will be pressed with all possible speed because the en- gineers of the New York City Board of Water Supply have esti- mated that the city will face a wa- ter shortage by 1935 unless an ad- ditional supply is tapped. The city now is consuming nearly 1,000,- 000,000 gallons of water daily and the maximum daily supply of the present system is only 1,100, 000,000 gallons. The largest unit in the new system will be in the basin of the East Branch of the Dexlaware County, one of the most sparsely settled aress of the state. A dam | nearly 150 than a mile gap hetwooen fect 'high and long will plug the symmetrical shoulders of the range near Downsville.

This, with the 440,- 000,000 gallons that can be taken from the Delaware units, will make a total inerease in the city's supply of 540,000,000 gallons daily. The work of tunneling 45 miles from the Rondout to the West Branch Reservoir on the Croton watershed will be one of the most expensive unts in the system. This tunnel will be constructed £0 as to care for additional reservoirs that may be built in the region at such time as they may be needed. The addition of the immense aniount of water from the Dela- ware system will require elabor- ate reconstruction and - develop- ment of the Croton watershed, in- to which the Schoharie and Epo- pus systems now empty. These de- velopments will be carried out at the West, East and Muscoot re- servoirs in the Croton system. Ad- ditions also will be made at the ensico and Hill View 'reservoirs. A 20-mile tunnel from the West Branch Reservoir to the Kensico Reservoir will. cost $4,155,000, and an aqueduct from the Kensico reservoir to the Hill View Reser- voir, and to the Eastview filter calls for the expenditure of $43,- 049,000. With the completion of this system, New York City will be as- sured an adequate water supply until at least 1950. The basic un- its, such as the central reservoirs and the main transportation tun- nels, will be of such a capacity that the supply may be increased with additional reservoirs at re- latively small cost, The members of the Board of Water Supply were so certain that the city had a right to take water | from the Delaware watershed that | preliminary work was done before the case was settled by the Su- preme Court. | Traffic Decreases on Canadian Railways For the first quarter of 1931 gross revenues of Canadian rail- ways amounted to $85,541,950, as against $104,488,301 in 1930, and $121,656,663 in 1929, and the operating income amounted to $919,384, as against $7,446.- 342 in 1930, and $17,622,242 in 1929, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. For March freight traffic was lighter than in 1930 by 10.6 per cent., but the average revenue per ton mile decreased by 6.5 per cent., and freight revenues consequenlty were reduced by $4,463,056, or 16.4 per cent; the only commodity to show a gain the car-loading report was "grain and grain products." Pas- senger traffic continued to de- crease, being 28.6 per cent, light- er than in 1930, and 37.6 per cent, lighter than in March, 1929. Passenger revenues were 1ses than in 1930 by $1,753,435, or 31.0 per cent, the average | revenue per passenger train mile | decreasing from $2.14 in 1930 to $1.66, CANADIAN INDIANS INTEREST FRANCE (By The Canadian Press) Montreal, June 8.--The keen interest France has always taken in the "Peaux-Rouges," the Red- skins of Canada, js being well | demonstrated in Paris by the | crowds attending the Paul Coze | exhibition in the Trocadero Mu- seum of Ithnography, according to cables received here. Paul ('oze, artist and prominent officer in the Boy Scouts of France, tra- velled across Canada some months ago to study the Indian tribes of the plains, and went as far north as lle a la Crosse. He learned the customs of the Redskins at first hand, made many paintings of their life and collected weapons and clothing, cradles, isstruments | of sorcery, insignia of secret so- ! cieties, symbolical paintings on skins, feather headdresses and other objects of curiosity andna- tive art. These are now on ex- i hibition in Paris and creating a great deal of attention, as are Mr. Coze's drawings, the sketches hy Raemond Gid, a series of pho- tographs, and the demonstrations such as making fire by friction. TOURIST TRAVEL TO THE NATIONAL PARKS One Half a Million Visited Canada's Great Scenic Playgrounds Last Year Canada's national parks are from year to year hecoming great- er factors in the rise of the Dom- infon's tourist industry. The at- traction and entertainment of the thousands of visitors who are an- nually taking to the roads and trails of this continent is rapidly becoming in Canada an industry of national importance. Areas of great natural beauty are being more and more sought and the army of vacationists upon whom. the great out-doors 8s cast its beneficient spell continues to Erow, The far-reaching importance of the national parks in increasing the flow of tourists to the Domin- fon is shown by the growing num. bers who annually visit these gredt scenic playgrounds. Tast year half a million people flocked by rail, motor, and boat to the parks. Both those in the West and those in the Hast were well patronized, the total being 544,. 350 visitors. Banff park attract- ed the greatest number, 188,443 visiting the famous Alberta re- sort. Jaspér park drew 13,783 persons; Kootenay park, 43,125; Waterton Lakes park, 44,827; Buffalo park, 12,537; Elk Island park, 30,138; and Glacier, Revel © stoke, and Yoho parks combined had a total of almost 30,000, Prince Albert national park, Saskatchewan's unit in the Parks' system record a 'considerable in- creage in the number of visitors last year. the 1930 total reaching 17,164, or 7,000 more than the previous year, - In the first. year of its existence, Rid Mountain national park in Manitoba enter- tained 15,028 persons. In the East, national parks and recreational. areas also attracted | increasing. numbers.: Point Pe- lee park, the most southerly point in Canada, and the St. Lawrence Islands parks, both in Ontario, reported higher totals. Point Pe- lee had 104,000 visitors last sea- son and the Islands parks drew 15,000. The historic parks, Fort Anne in Nova Scotia and Fort Beausejour in New Brunswick, hie 18,000 and 12,000 respective. y. \ Indications for the present sea- son point to another large influx of visitors to the national parks and. surrounding areas. Numer- ous requests for information are being received in the Department of the Interior. Of special inter- est is the fact that the 1931 an- nual camp of the Alpine Club of Canada will be held in Prospec- or's Valley in the shadow of the en Peaks in Banff park. PEDESTRIANS ARE CONCEDED RIGHTS Royal Automobile Club Seeks to Secure Their Greater Protection Montreal. -- A pedestrian's rights on a roadway are being drawn to the attention of motor- ists, in a campaign undertaken by the Royal Automobile Club of Canada and which is designed to procure. greater protection for the pedestrian. George McNamee, the secretary, points out that it is incumbent upon the motorist to have as much regard for the pedestrian's rights as he enter- | tains for his own. In a letter forwarded to the club, a member suggests that motorists be induced to indicate by a hand signal what he may do. This would dispel any doubts which one the other might have as to who should proceed first, the driver the pedestrian "As it is now," the letter adds, "the pedestrian has to be a mind reader, as a great many of those driving cars rely on the fact that they can stop their cars within two or three inches of the per- son who is trying to cross the street while the person about to cross is in doubt whether the driver of the car is going to con- tinue or stop his car so that the or anto or ' pedestrian can proceed, If the driver would simply wave his hand for the pedestrian to pass, when he realizes he cannot ent | into the traffic on the main | thoroughfare. then the pedes- | trian traffic would move much faster and with some assurance that they were not going to be knocked down." | | | INMATES MARRIED IN WESTERN JAIL Couple Will Have to Wait Long Time Before They Are United Prince Albert, Sask.---With the shadow of prison bars fall- ing across their joined hands Louis Slonski and: Pauline Sklar were rried in the Dominion pentitentiary here after special permission had been received from the Dominion Minister of Justice. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. Father Symard, Roman Catholic chaplain at the prison. It will be a long time, how- ever, before the couple can honeymoon, for Slonski has ap- proximately three years to serve. Pauline will live at her home in the district with their child, born a few months ago. Slonski escaped from the pro- vinecial jail here December 19, and gained the safety of an On- tario lumber camp where several weeks later he heard of the birth of his son. He immediately start ed for home, but was captured by police at Moose Jaw. His arrest brought Pauline in- to the case. Several letters were received by 'the Crown Prosecu- tor, threatening death unless Slonski was released. Later a warrant was issued for the ar- rest of Pauline and she gave birth to the child while the court was awaiting her arrival here for preliminary hearing. When she appeared in court she was re- leased on suspended sentence. Enjoys Variety of Literary Reputations London, June 6.--*Michael Sadleir, author and publisher. enjoys a variety of literary repu- tations--that of keen critic, that of accurate and erudite biblio- grapher and historian, and that of delightful writer of prose," says The Observer, 'and they will be found blended, fortified, and enhanced in the big work upon which he is at present en- gaged. This, in its three volumes, will cover not merely the life of Edward 'Bulwer, the first Lord Lytton, but the whole changing world of letters and of fashion in which that life was spent; it will be justly entitled: "Bulwer: a Panorama'; ' and it will, in a sense, provide a 'society' history of three-gharters of the 19th century. The first volume, to come shortly from Constable's, covers the years 1803-1836, and will tell the tals of astonishing literary successes (without any blind partiality towards literary faults), of abundant personal quarrels, and of a most romantic and unbappy marriage, Its sep- arate. title is 'Edward and Ros- ins,' and it provides the full Men's Felt Hats The lowest price for quality ¥elt Hats, on record--For Men and Young Men.
