C.E.[1]= + +DIED MARCH 7TH, 1910. + +In the death of Linus Weed Brown, which occurred in Monrovia, Cal., on +March 7th, 1910, this Society lost one of its valued members and the +Engineering Profession a most able exponent. + +Mr. Brown was born in Burnside, Orange County, N.Y., in August, 1856, +and received his early education in the schools of that town. He +studied his profession in the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, +N.J. + +At the age of eighteen he entered the machine shops of the Pennsylvania +Railroad, and later was employed as Draftsman by that Company, which +position he held until 1880. + +In 1880 he accepted a position with the Southern Pacific Railroad in +New Orleans, La., and designed and supervised the construction of the +Algiers shops. + +In 1883 Mr. Brown severed his connection with the Southern Pacific +Company and engaged in general engineering practice, principally in the +line of sugar-house installations. + +In 1885 he was elected Assistant City Engineer of New Orleans, which +position he held for four years. + +In 1890 he became Chief Engineer for the Caffrey Central Sugar +Refinery, designing and supervising the erection of the buildings, +which represented an expenditure of about $600,000. In the same year +Mr. Brown was appointed Chief Engineer of the Franklin and Abbeville +Railroad and built that road. At the same time he designed and built +the Des Lignes sugar-house. In fact, he designed and built many of the +large sugar mills and refineries erected in Louisiana about that time. + +From 1892 to 1896 Mr. Brown held the office of City Engineer of New +Orleans, and it was during this term that some of the most important +works of his career were accomplished. + +Under the direction of the City Council, and in consultation with B.M. +Harrod, Past-President, Am. Soc. C.E., the late H.B. Richardson, M. +Am. Soc. C.E., and Rudolph Hering, M. Am. Soc. C.E., Mr. Brown made +a topographical survey of New Orleans, a study of precipitation and +run-off, and prepared plans and specifications for a drainage system. + +At the expiration of his term of office as City Engineer, he engaged +in private practice, assuming charge, as Chief Engineer for the +contractors, of the first construction work of the drainage system. + +Prior to and during his term of office as City Engineer, Mr. Brown was +Architect of the McDonogh School Fund in New Orleans, during which time +he designed and built several new schools and remodeled a number of old +buildings. + +He was also Special Engineer for the New Orleans Levee Board on harbor +and bank protection work. To the study of this work Mr. Brown devoted +all his energies and knowledge for several years. At the same time he +was a member of the New Orleans Advisory Board of Engineers on Sewerage +and Water. + +When the oil fields of Texas were first discovered, Mr. Brown's +services were immediately engaged, and in the following years he +devoted almost his entire time to the development of the oil fields and +facilities for handling the oil. His operations were principally in the +Beaumont and Sour Lake fields. + +The holdings of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in these regions +demanded the services of an expert engineer, and Mr. Brown was engaged +to take full charge of its interests. + +In 1904 he was compelled to give up active business and seek the +restoration of his health. To this end he spent some time in the Middle +Western States and finally decided to go out to the Pacific Coast. +The climate there proved so beneficial that he eventually settled in +Bakersfield, Cal., where he accepted an appointment as Consulting +Engineer for the Oil Department of the Southern Pacific Railroad and +Chief Engineer of the Atlantic Division of the same line. + +Shortly after he accepted this appointment the Colorado River broke +through its banks and overflowed the valley known as the Salton Sea, +across which the tracks of the Southern Pacific Road were laid. The +Company was compelled to make a detour of approximately 100 miles +around the inundated region, but, under the direction of Mr. Brown, +they succeeded in closing the break with two massive dams, confining +the river to its ordinary channel and preventing the increase of the +Salton Sea. + +While in California Mr. Brown invented an oil and sand separator, which +the Southern Pacific Company is now using throughout its oil fields. He +also invented a continuous water purifier and a special oil power-pump. +All these machines are now on the market. + +Mr. Brown was a man of sterling integrity; one who regarded his +profession in the light of an obligatory public service. To this sense +of duty he sacrificed much, primarily the necessary relaxation and rest +from arduous labor, which undoubtedly accelerated the end of his useful +and honorable career. + +In recognition of the valuable services he rendered in connection +with the levee protection work in New Orleans, Mr. Brown was made the +recipient of public honors and testimonials of appreciation. + +He is survived by a daughter and two sons; the latter are preparing +to follow the engineering profession. His wife, who was Miss Joan Von +Vesterfeldt of New York City, died in 1903. + +Mr. Brown was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on June 7th, 1899. He was also a Member of the Louisiana +Engineering Society. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[1] Memoir prepared by Ole K. Olsen, Esq. + + +=CHARLES ALFRED HASBROUCK, M. Am. Soc. C.E.=[2] + +DIED FEBRUARY 1ST, 1910. + + +Charles Alfred Hasbrouck was born at Forest Home, a suburb of Ithaca, +N.Y., on July 31st, 1864. After studying in the schools at Ithaca, he +entered Cornell University in 1880, from which, after completing a +course in Civil Engineering, he was graduated in 1884, the youngest +member of his class. + +In July, 1884, Mr. Hasbrouck entered upon his professional career as +Assistant Engineer of the Detroit Bridge and Iron Company, continuing +with that firm until 1888. From August to November, 1888, he was +employed with the King Bridge Company as Assistant Engineer. + +In November, 1888, he was appointed Assistant Chief Engineer of +the American Bridge Works, of Chicago, specializing in bridge and +structural engineering. + +In May, 1900, Mr. Hasbrouck was made Contracting Manager of the +American Bridge Company, of New York, in charge of railroad structures +on the Western Division, which position he held until his health +failed. Thus, after 24 years of active service in his Profession, he +was obliged to give up all work. + +On June 14th, 1893, Mr. Hasbrouck was married to Miss Mary Fobes, of +Cresco, Iowa, who died in 1907. + +After retiring from business, Mr. Hasbrouck spent part of his time +in El Paso, Tex., in search of health. In 1909, he went to Sierra +Madre, and, later, to Pasadena, Cal., where he died on February 1st, +1910. He was a patient sufferer, never uttering a word of annoyance or +fretfulness at his condition. + +At his expressed wish, he was buried from his boyhood home which he +had always kept up, and which, with its beautiful grounds, he left to +Cornell University. + +Mr. Hasbrouck was elected an Associate Member of the American Society +of Civil Engineers on February 3d, 1892, and a Member on December 5th, +1894. He was elected a Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, of +Great Britain, on February 2d, 1904. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[2] Memoir prepared by Mr. Edward Capouch, Contracting Manager, +American Bridge Company, Chicago, Ill. + + +=JOHN HENDERSON SAMPLE, M.

He entered Dennison University, +Granville, Ohio, from which he was graduated in 1872. After leaving +college, he was engaged on the early surveys of the Toledo and Ohio +Central lines, working up from Axeman to Division Engineer. + +Afterward Mr. Sample served as Chief Engineer of the Cincinnati, +Lebanon, and Northern Railway, and Chief Engineer of the Cincinnati +and Georgia (now the Southern Railway), from Rome to Macon, Ga., +except from Austell to Atlanta. In 1883, he made surveys for the East +Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway (now the Southern Railway) +in Alabama. He then became Chief Engineer of the Alabama Improvement +Company, engaged in the location and construction of the Northern +Alabama Railroad, and the development of coal and ore lands and the +Town of Sheffield, Ala. + +He was appointed Chief Engineer of the Toledo and Ann Arbor, on +location and construction from Hammond Junction to Durand; Chief +Engineer of location and construction of the Missouri Pacific lines in +Kansas, Colorado, and Missouri; and from 1887 to 1889, he served as +Chief Engineer on the construction of the Louisville, Henderson, and +St. Louis Railway, from West Point to Henderson, Ky. + +Mr. Sample made examinations and reports on timber and mineral lands +in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, and in 1889, he +examined and reported on the Mexican National Railroad, from Laredo, +Tex., to the City of Mexico. + +From 1889 to 1896, he was Chief Engineer of location and construction +and General Superintendent of operation of the Pittsburg, Akron, +and Western Railroad, from Delphos to Akron, Ohio. In 1897 he was +appointed General Superintendent of the Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus +Railroad, which position he held until this road was purchased by the +Pennsylvania Company, in September, 1899. From that date to the time of +his death, Mr. Sample was in the employ of the Pennsylvania Company, +as Assistant Engineer, being engaged on line and grade revision and +special work. + +His father being a lawyer and Judge, he partook of his judicial nature, +and all his lifework was based on the broad foundation of equity and +honesty of purpose. He was a man of unobtrusive manner, retiring +disposition, and unpretentious ways. + +On June 7th, 1876, Mr. Sample was married to Miss Virginia Hughes. His +wife died on June 24th, 1889. + +Mr. Sample died suddenly in the Fort Pitt Hotel, at Pittsburg, Pa., on +March 4th, 1910. He intended to leave for New York City during the day +to bid farewell to his son, who was Assistant Engineer on the Madeira +and Mamoré Railway, in Brazil, and had been spending his vacation of +three months with his father. + +To his children, and to those who knew him intimately, Mr. Sample +leaves a memory of a life well rounded out by noble endeavor, and a +fixedness of purpose to know and do the right. He was conscientious in +every act and thought, a man of deep religious conviction, and though +called suddenly from his earthly labors, he was ready for the higher +service and duty. + +Mr. Sample was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on October 6th, 1886. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[3] Memoir prepared by W.B.

C.E.=[4] + +DIED FEBRUARY 27TH, 1910. + + +Albert Mather Smith was born on October 5th, 1837, in New York City. +He was the son of Charles Smith and Miss Alleta Loverich, and a direct +descendant of Cotton Mather. + +As a boy of fifteen he entered the Engineer Division of the Manhattan +Gas Light Company, and later became Engineer of its West 18th Street +Station. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Smith joined the +37th Regiment, New York Volunteers, organized by Colonel Roome, the +President of the Manhattan Gas Light Company, and was chosen Captain +of Company B. This Company was largely recruited from the force of +the gas-works, and drilled in the office of the Gas Company at 4 +Irving Place, New York City. Mr. Smith's regiment saw active service +during the invasion of Pennsylvania, and also as special detail on the +Chesapeake; and, later, during the Draft Riots in New York City. + +After the close of the War, Mr. Smith became Chief Engineer of the +Manhattan Gas Light Company, and, later, when this Company was merged +into the Consolidated Gas Company, he became Engineer of Distribution +of the latter Company. At the time of his death he had been connected +with the gas companies of New York City for 57 years. + +On March 18th, 1863, Mr. Smith was married to Miss Anna Provoost Elwes, +who died on January 14th, 1873.

Soc. C.E.=[5] + +DIED DECEMBER 22D, 1909. + + +Jacobus Van der Hoek, son of the late Gysbertus Van der Hoek and +Johanna (Tupers) Van der Hoek, was born at Goes, The Netherlands, +on March 19th, 1862. He received his early education at the Public +Schools, and was graduated from the High School of his native town in +August, 1879. In September of the same year he entered the Polytechnic +School at Delft, The Netherlands, from which he was graduated, as Civil +Engineer, in July, 1883. + +During 1884 Mr. Van der Hoek was employed as Inspector on the +construction of a dike across the "het slaak," a shallow tidewater +1-1/2 miles wide, and made surveys and soundings for a record map of +adjacent waters covering an area of 6 sq. miles. + +In 1885 and 1886 he was employed by the Dutch Government as Assistant +Engineer in charge of a party, to re-survey the principal rivers of +Holland, and triangulated about 25 miles of river. + +During 1887 Mr. Van der Hoek was Engineer in charge of the submarine +shore protection for the "Polder of Schouwen," The Netherlands. In 1887 +he left his native land for the United States, arriving in New York +City, on December 25th. + +From the latter part of 1888 to the beginning of 1890, he was employed +by the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Railway Company, at Wheeling, W. +Va., under the late Job Abbott, M. Am. Soc. C.E., Chief Engineer. +The work comprised steam railway construction, a bridge 2,000 ft. in +length, including one span over the Ohio River, 525 ft. long, and three +tunnels from 400 to 2,400 ft. long, all double-track and heavy work +throughout. The Engineer who was in charge of the work, writes: + + "Mr. Van der Hoek reported to me as Chief Draftsman and + Office Assistant during the period above mentioned. He was so + capable and earnest in all of his work, and so well qualified + to perform it, that our relations were not only uniformly + pleasant, but they marked the beginning of a friendship that + lasted until the deplorable end of Mr. Van der Hoek's useful + life." + +In 1890, Mr. Van der Hoek entered the service of the Lehigh Valley +Railroad and continued with this Company until July, 1909; during +this time he was successively engaged as Chief Draftsman, Assistant, +Resident, and Division Engineer. During the extension of the main line +of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, from Sayre to Buffalo, he was employed +as Chief Draftsman, designing masonry and other structures, also as +Assistant and Resident Engineer in charge of certain sections of the +line. Paul S. King, M. Am. Soc. C.E., the Chief Engineer in charge +of the construction of this 175 miles of double-track railroad, soon +recognized the exceptional engineering ability of Mr. Van der Hoek, and +appointed him, successively, Assistant and Resident Engineer in charge +of several sections; of his success and ability, Mr. King writes: + + "The sad and sudden death of Mr. Van der Hoek was indeed + a great shock to me and his many friends in the Lehigh + Valley System, particularly in New York State, his field of + professional work for so many years. + + "I highly regarded his technical ability, sterling character, + and untiring industry, both in the field and office. During the + time he was engaged with me (nearly four years), he filled the + positions of Chief Draftsman, Assistant, and Resident Engineer, + and earned the respective promotions by the zeal and energy + which was always characteristic of him with any work he had + in hand. He continued throughout the period of construction, + a record not equalled by any of the dozen or more Resident + Engineers connected with that work. It was this observation of + his conduct and activity in executing his work that warranted + me to have confidence in his ability to take up the work to be + done after the Operating Department took charge of the line, + recommending him as the Engineer for Maintenance of Way of part + of the new line." + +In 1893, Mr. Van der Hoek was appointed Division Engineer of the +Buffalo Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and had charge, under +the Superintendent of Maintenance of Way, of constructing stations, +water stations, coal trestles, wharves, stone ballasting the line, +building storage yards, rebuilding bridges, etc.; he continued in this +position until July 1st, 1909. + +One of his associates on the Lehigh Valley Railroad writes: + + "I was intimately acquainted with Mr. Van der Hoek and his + work from 1894 to the time of his death, and as a co-worker + on the Lehigh Valley Railroad it is a privilege to testify to + his exceptional engineering ability, his strong, unflinching + character, his untiring energy, and implicit adherence to the + lines of duty. He had exceptional executive ability combined + with a thorough knowledge of details. It was these qualities + that made him so successful in his work. + + "Mr. Van der Hoek was a sober, unassuming, and honest man, a + generous and respected superior to his subordinates, a true + friend, ever ready to assist an aspiring young man to greater + knowledge and better positions; by these he will be truly + missed and mourned." + +On July 12th, 1909, Mr. Van der Hoek entered the service of the Lehigh +Coal and Navigation Company, as Civil Engineer, under the General +Superintendent of that company, at Lansford, Pa., to take charge of +the railroad maintenance, water supply, land surveys, and new outside +construction, on the extensive mining properties of that company in the +anthracite coal fields. + +Mr. Van der Hoek's exceptional ability was thoroughly recognized by +his new employers, and his work and its results were fully appreciated; +he had but laid his plans and perfected a proper organization when, +on the afternoon of December 22d, 1909, while inspecting the work of +laying a new water main through the Lansford, Pa., tunnel, he met his +death by being run over by an engine, and his successful professional +career was thus sadly ended. His Assistant, who had accompanied him on +this inspection, met with the same lamentable fate. + +On May 30th, 1896, Mr. Van der Hoek was married, in New York City, to +Johanna Van der Bent, and is survived by his wife and two children. + +He was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers on +April 7th, 1897. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[5] Memoir prepared by F.E.

C.E.=[6] + +DIED MARCH 23D, 1910. + + +By the death of Luther Elman Johnson, the Engineering Profession has +lost a bright and able young engineer whose career, though short, gave +promise of a steady rise and a brilliant future. + +Mr. Johnson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. M.D. Johnson, of Lawton, Okla., +was born in Union, West Va., on August 10th, 1881. Most of his +childhood and early manhood, however, were spent in Missouri. He +received his High School training at Nevada, Mo., and his technical +education at the Missouri State University, from which he was graduated +in 1904, on his completion of the four years' course in Civil +Engineering. In connection with the training at the University, Mr. +Johnson, on graduation, was appointed and commissioned Brevet Second +Lieutenant, in the National Guard of Missouri, by the Governor of the +State. + +His professional work began shortly after graduation, with his +employment in the United States Reclamation Service, in connection with +investigations of reservoir sites for the storage of irrigation water +in Oklahoma. Following this, Mr. Johnson was transferred to the Garden +City, Kans., pumping project, where, from 1905 to 1907, he was engaged +in concrete construction and other work. In the latter part of 1907, +he was transferred to the Minidoka, Idaho, pumping project, where, as +Assistant Engineer, he was engaged until shortly before his death. + +His work on the latter project was in connection with the location and +construction of canals, and he was in active charge of the building +of a large number of small reinforced concrete and timber structures +and bridges for the irrigation system. In prosecuting this work, Mr. +Johnson showed ability of the first order, and gave evidence, by his +conscientious, thorough, and careful work, of great promise for the +future. + +In March, 1910, his health failing, he returned to his home in Lawton, +Okla., to recuperate from a general breakdown, but pneumonia set in, +and he died on March 23d. + +Mr. Johnson was a young man of sterling qualities and rugged honesty; +his life was clean and strong, his character sweet and lovable, and his +capabilities exceptional. Untiring devotion to and interest in his work +were traits which had won for him the deepest respect of his associates +and those who worked under his direction, and his death was a keen +loss, not only to his family to whom he was a devoted son and brother, +but to his many friends and to all those with whom his work brought him +in contact. + +Mr. Johnson was elected a Junior of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on September 6th, 1904. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[6] Memoir prepared by P.M.

INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 +North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email +contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the +Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/45735-8.zip b/old/45735-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..13e8013 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/45735-8.zip diff --git a/old/45735-h.zip b/old/45735-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b65d407 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/45735-h.zip diff --git a/old/45735-h/45735-h.htm b/old/45735-h/45735-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..87f2d20 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/45735-h/45735-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,2715 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of ASCE Trans., vol LXX Dec 1910 , by American Society of Civil Engineers. + </title> + <link rel="coverpage" href="images/cover.jpg" /> + <style type="text/css"> + +body { + margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; +} + + h1,h2,h3,h4 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; +} + +p { + margin-top: .51em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .49em; +} + +hr { + width: 33%; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: 33.5%; + margin-right: 33.5%; + clear: both; +} + +hr.tb {width: 45%; margin-left: 27.5%; margin-right: 27.5%;} +hr.chap {width: 65%; margin-left: 17.5%; margin-right: 17.5%;} + +table { + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; +} + + .tdl {text-align: left;} + .tdr {text-align: right;} + .tdc {text-align: center;} + +.pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */ + visibility: hidden; + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; +} /* page numbers */ + +.blockquot { + margin-left: 5%; + margin-right: 10%; +} + +.center {text-align: center;} + +.smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + +/* Footnotes */ +.footnotes {border: dashed 1px;} + +.footnote {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-size: 0.9em;} + +.footnote .label {position: absolute; right: 84%; text-align: right;} + +.fnanchor { + vertical-align: super; + font-size: .8em; + text-decoration: + none; +} + +/* Transcriber's notes */ +.transnote {background-color: #E6E6FA; + color: black; + font-size:smaller; + padding:0.5em; + margin-bottom:5em; + font-family:serif; } + +/* Easy Epub/Headings */ +.ph1, .ph3 { text-align: center; text-indent: 0em; font-weight: bold; } +.ph1 { font-size: xx-large; margin: .67em auto; } +.ph3 { font-size: large; margin: .83em auto; } + +div.titlepage { + text-align: center; + page-break-before: always; + page-break-after: always; +} +div.titlepage p { + text-align: center; + text-indent: 0em; + font-weight: bold; + line-height: 1.5; + margin-top: 3em; +} + +/* Case Study: Tables */ +.box +{ + border: 2px solid black; + max-width: 23em; + margin: 1.5em auto; +} + +.box p +{ + text-align: center; +} + +/* Rick */ +.h1,h2 { + page-break-before: always; +} + + + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Transactions of the American Society of +Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX, December, 1910, by American Society of Civil Engineers + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

He studied his profession in the Stevens Institute of Technology, +Hoboken, N.J.</p> + +<p>At the age of eighteen he entered the machine shops of the Pennsylvania +Railroad, and later was employed as Draftsman by that Company, +which position he held until 1880.</p> + +<p>In 1880 he accepted a position with the Southern Pacific Railroad +in New Orleans, La., and designed and supervised the construction of +the Algiers shops.</p> + +<p>In 1883 Mr. Brown severed his connection with the Southern +Pacific Company and engaged in general engineering practice, principally +in the line of sugar-house installations.</p> + +<p>In 1885 he was elected Assistant City Engineer of New Orleans, +which position he held for four years.</p> + +<p>In 1890 he became Chief Engineer for the Caffrey Central Sugar +Refinery, designing and supervising the erection of the buildings, +which represented an expenditure of about $600,000. In the same year +Mr. Brown was appointed Chief Engineer of the Franklin and Abbeville +Railroad and built that road. At the same time he designed and +built the Des Lignes sugar-house. In fact, he designed and built many +of the large sugar mills and refineries erected in Louisiana about +that time.</p> + +<p>From 1892 to 1896 Mr. Brown held the office of City Engineer of +New Orleans, and it was during this term that some of the most +important works of his career were accomplished.</p> + +<p>Under the direction of the City Council, and in consultation with +B.M. Harrod, Past-President, Am. Soc. C.E., the late H.B. Richardson, +M. Am. Soc. C.E., and Rudolph Hering, M. Am. Soc. C.E., +Mr. Brown made a topographical survey of New Orleans, a study of +precipitation and run-off, and prepared plans and specifications for a +drainage system.</p> + +<p>At the expiration of his term of office as City Engineer, he +engaged in private practice, assuming charge, as Chief Engineer for the +contractors, of the first construction work of the drainage system.</p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_471" id="Page_471">[Pg 471]</a></span></p> +<p>Prior to and during his term of office as City Engineer, Mr. Brown +was Architect of the McDonogh School Fund in New Orleans, during +which time he designed and built several new schools and remodeled a +number of old buildings.</p> + +<p>He was also Special Engineer for the New Orleans Levee Board on +harbor and bank protection work. To the study of this work Mr. +Brown devoted all his energies and knowledge for several years. At +the same time he was a member of the New Orleans Advisory Board +of Engineers on Sewerage and Water.</p> + +<p>When the oil fields of Texas were first discovered, Mr. Brown's +services were immediately engaged, and in the following years he +devoted almost his entire time to the development of the oil fields and +facilities for handling the oil. His operations were principally in the +Beaumont and Sour Lake fields.</p> + +<p>The holdings of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in these +regions demanded the services of an expert engineer, and Mr. Brown +was engaged to take full charge of its interests.</p> + +<p>In 1904 he was compelled to give up active business and seek the +restoration of his health. To this end he spent some time in the +Middle Western States and finally decided to go out to the Pacific +Coast. The climate there proved so beneficial that he eventually +settled in Bakersfield, Cal., where he accepted an appointment as Consulting +Engineer for the Oil Department of the Southern Pacific Railroad +and Chief Engineer of the Atlantic Division of the same line.</p> + +<p>Shortly after he accepted this appointment the Colorado River +broke through its banks and overflowed the valley known as the Salton +Sea, across which the tracks of the Southern Pacific Road were laid. +The Company was compelled to make a detour of approximately 100 +miles around the inundated region, but, under the direction of Mr. +Brown, they succeeded in closing the break with two massive dams, +confining the river to its ordinary channel and preventing the increase +of the Salton Sea.</p> + +<p>While in California Mr. Brown invented an oil and sand separator, +which the Southern Pacific Company is now using throughout its oil +fields. He also invented a continuous water purifier and a special oil +power-pump. All these machines are now on the market.</p> + +<p>Mr. Brown was a man of sterling integrity; one who regarded his +profession in the light of an obligatory public service. To this sense +of duty he sacrificed much, primarily the necessary relaxation and rest +from arduous labor, which undoubtedly accelerated the end of his useful +and honorable career.</p> + +<p>In recognition of the valuable services he rendered in connection +with the levee protection work in New Orleans, Mr. Brown was made +the recipient of public honors and testimonials of appreciation.</p> + +<p>He is survived by a daughter and two sons; the latter are preparing<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_472" id="Page_472">[Pg 472]</a></span> +to follow the engineering profession.

In the latter +part of 1907, he was transferred to the Minidoka, Idaho, pumping +project, where, as Assistant Engineer, he was engaged until shortly +before his death.</p> + +<p>His work on the latter project was in connection with the location +and construction of canals, and he was in active charge of the building +of a large number of small reinforced concrete and timber structures +and bridges for the irrigation system. In prosecuting this work, Mr. +Johnson showed ability of the first order, and gave evidence, by his +conscientious, thorough, and careful work, of great promise for the +future.</p> + +<p>In March, 1910, his health failing, he returned to his home in +Lawton, Okla., to recuperate from a general breakdown, but pneumonia +set in, and he died on March 23d.</p> + +<p>Mr. Johnson was a young man of sterling qualities and rugged +honesty; his life was clean and strong, his character sweet and lovable, +and his capabilities exceptional. Untiring devotion to and interest +in his work were traits which had won for him the deepest respect of +his associates and those who worked under his direction, and his death +was a keen loss, not only to his family to whom he was a devoted +son and brother, but to his many friends and to all those with whom +his work brought him in contact.</p> + +<p>Mr. Johnson was elected a Junior of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on September 6th, 1904.</p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_481" id="Page_481">[Pg 481]</a></span></p> +<div class="footnotes"><h4>FOOTNOTES:</h4> + +<div class="footnote"> + +<p><a name="Footnote_6" id="Footnote_6"></a><a href="#FNanchor_6"><span class="label">[6]</span></a> Memoir prepared by P.M.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 +North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/45735-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/45735-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..eaa77cc --- /dev/null +++ b/old/45735-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/old/45735.txt b/old/45735.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..26e40b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/45735.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1924 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Transactions of the American Society of +Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX, December, 1910, by American Society of Civil Engineers + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

C.E.[1]= + +DIED MARCH 7TH, 1910. + +In the death of Linus Weed Brown, which occurred in Monrovia, Cal., on +March 7th, 1910, this Society lost one of its valued members and the +Engineering Profession a most able exponent. + +Mr. Brown was born in Burnside, Orange County, N.Y., in August, 1856, +and received his early education in the schools of that town. He +studied his profession in the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, +N.J. + +At the age of eighteen he entered the machine shops of the Pennsylvania +Railroad, and later was employed as Draftsman by that Company, which +position he held until 1880. + +In 1880 he accepted a position with the Southern Pacific Railroad in +New Orleans, La., and designed and supervised the construction of the +Algiers shops. + +In 1883 Mr. Brown severed his connection with the Southern Pacific +Company and engaged in general engineering practice, principally in the +line of sugar-house installations. + +In 1885 he was elected Assistant City Engineer of New Orleans, which +position he held for four years. + +In 1890 he became Chief Engineer for the Caffrey Central Sugar +Refinery, designing and supervising the erection of the buildings, +which represented an expenditure of about $600,000. In the same year +Mr. Brown was appointed Chief Engineer of the Franklin and Abbeville +Railroad and built that road. At the same time he designed and built +the Des Lignes sugar-house. In fact, he designed and built many of the +large sugar mills and refineries erected in Louisiana about that time. + +From 1892 to 1896 Mr. Brown held the office of City Engineer of New +Orleans, and it was during this term that some of the most important +works of his career were accomplished. + +Under the direction of the City Council, and in consultation with B.M. +Harrod, Past-President, Am. Soc. C.E., the late H.B. Richardson, M. +Am. Soc. C.E., and Rudolph Hering, M. Am. Soc. C.E., Mr. Brown made +a topographical survey of New Orleans, a study of precipitation and +run-off, and prepared plans and specifications for a drainage system. + +At the expiration of his term of office as City Engineer, he engaged +in private practice, assuming charge, as Chief Engineer for the +contractors, of the first construction work of the drainage system. + +Prior to and during his term of office as City Engineer, Mr. Brown was +Architect of the McDonogh School Fund in New Orleans, during which time +he designed and built several new schools and remodeled a number of old +buildings. + +He was also Special Engineer for the New Orleans Levee Board on harbor +and bank protection work. To the study of this work Mr. Brown devoted +all his energies and knowledge for several years. At the same time he +was a member of the New Orleans Advisory Board of Engineers on Sewerage +and Water. + +When the oil fields of Texas were first discovered, Mr. Brown's +services were immediately engaged, and in the following years he +devoted almost his entire time to the development of the oil fields and +facilities for handling the oil. His operations were principally in the +Beaumont and Sour Lake fields. + +The holdings of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in these regions +demanded the services of an expert engineer, and Mr. Brown was engaged +to take full charge of its interests. + +In 1904 he was compelled to give up active business and seek the +restoration of his health. To this end he spent some time in the Middle +Western States and finally decided to go out to the Pacific Coast. +The climate there proved so beneficial that he eventually settled in +Bakersfield, Cal., where he accepted an appointment as Consulting +Engineer for the Oil Department of the Southern Pacific Railroad and +Chief Engineer of the Atlantic Division of the same line. + +Shortly after he accepted this appointment the Colorado River broke +through its banks and overflowed the valley known as the Salton Sea, +across which the tracks of the Southern Pacific Road were laid. The +Company was compelled to make a detour of approximately 100 miles +around the inundated region, but, under the direction of Mr. Brown, +they succeeded in closing the break with two massive dams, confining +the river to its ordinary channel and preventing the increase of the +Salton Sea. + +While in California Mr. Brown invented an oil and sand separator, which +the Southern Pacific Company is now using throughout its oil fields. He +also invented a continuous water purifier and a special oil power-pump. +All these machines are now on the market. + +Mr. Brown was a man of sterling integrity; one who regarded his +profession in the light of an obligatory public service. To this sense +of duty he sacrificed much, primarily the necessary relaxation and rest +from arduous labor, which undoubtedly accelerated the end of his useful +and honorable career. + +In recognition of the valuable services he rendered in connection +with the levee protection work in New Orleans, Mr. Brown was made the +recipient of public honors and testimonials of appreciation. + +He is survived by a daughter and two sons; the latter are preparing +to follow the engineering profession. His wife, who was Miss Joan Von +Vesterfeldt of New York City, died in 1903. + +Mr. Brown was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on June 7th, 1899. He was also a Member of the Louisiana +Engineering Society. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[1] Memoir prepared by Ole K. Olsen, Esq. + + +=CHARLES ALFRED HASBROUCK, M. Am. Soc.

From August to November, 1888, he was +employed with the King Bridge Company as Assistant Engineer. + +In November, 1888, he was appointed Assistant Chief Engineer of +the American Bridge Works, of Chicago, specializing in bridge and +structural engineering. + +In May, 1900, Mr. Hasbrouck was made Contracting Manager of the +American Bridge Company, of New York, in charge of railroad structures +on the Western Division, which position he held until his health +failed. Thus, after 24 years of active service in his Profession, he +was obliged to give up all work. + +On June 14th, 1893, Mr. Hasbrouck was married to Miss Mary Fobes, of +Cresco, Iowa, who died in 1907. + +After retiring from business, Mr. Hasbrouck spent part of his time +in El Paso, Tex., in search of health. In 1909, he went to Sierra +Madre, and, later, to Pasadena, Cal., where he died on February 1st, +1910. He was a patient sufferer, never uttering a word of annoyance or +fretfulness at his condition. + +At his expressed wish, he was buried from his boyhood home which he +had always kept up, and which, with its beautiful grounds, he left to +Cornell University. + +Mr. Hasbrouck was elected an Associate Member of the American Society +of Civil Engineers on February 3d, 1892, and a Member on December 5th, +1894.

In 1883, he made surveys for the East +Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway (now the Southern Railway) +in Alabama. He then became Chief Engineer of the Alabama Improvement +Company, engaged in the location and construction of the Northern +Alabama Railroad, and the development of coal and ore lands and the +Town of Sheffield, Ala. + +He was appointed Chief Engineer of the Toledo and Ann Arbor, on +location and construction from Hammond Junction to Durand; Chief +Engineer of location and construction of the Missouri Pacific lines in +Kansas, Colorado, and Missouri; and from 1887 to 1889, he served as +Chief Engineer on the construction of the Louisville, Henderson, and +St. Louis Railway, from West Point to Henderson, Ky. + +Mr. Sample made examinations and reports on timber and mineral lands +in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, and in 1889, he +examined and reported on the Mexican National Railroad, from Laredo, +Tex., to the City of Mexico. + +From 1889 to 1896, he was Chief Engineer of location and construction +and General Superintendent of operation of the Pittsburg, Akron, +and Western Railroad, from Delphos to Akron, Ohio. In 1897 he was +appointed General Superintendent of the Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus +Railroad, which position he held until this road was purchased by the +Pennsylvania Company, in September, 1899. From that date to the time of +his death, Mr. Sample was in the employ of the Pennsylvania Company, +as Assistant Engineer, being engaged on line and grade revision and +special work. + +His father being a lawyer and Judge, he partook of his judicial nature, +and all his lifework was based on the broad foundation of equity and +honesty of purpose. He was a man of unobtrusive manner, retiring +disposition, and unpretentious ways. + +On June 7th, 1876, Mr. Sample was married to Miss Virginia Hughes. His +wife died on June 24th, 1889. + +Mr. Sample died suddenly in the Fort Pitt Hotel, at Pittsburg, Pa., on +March 4th, 1910. He intended to leave for New York City during the day +to bid farewell to his son, who was Assistant Engineer on the Madeira +and Mamore Railway, in Brazil, and had been spending his vacation of +three months with his father. + +To his children, and to those who knew him intimately, Mr. Sample +leaves a memory of a life well rounded out by noble endeavor, and a +fixedness of purpose to know and do the right. He was conscientious in +every act and thought, a man of deep religious conviction, and though +called suddenly from his earthly labors, he was ready for the higher +service and duty. + +Mr. Sample was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on October 6th, 1886. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[3] Memoir prepared by W.B.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Smith joined the +37th Regiment, New York Volunteers, organized by Colonel Roome, the +President of the Manhattan Gas Light Company, and was chosen Captain +of Company B. This Company was largely recruited from the force of +the gas-works, and drilled in the office of the Gas Company at 4 +Irving Place, New York City.

Soc. C.E.=[5] + +DIED DECEMBER 22D, 1909. + + +Jacobus Van der Hoek, son of the late Gysbertus Van der Hoek and +Johanna (Tupers) Van der Hoek, was born at Goes, The Netherlands, +on March 19th, 1862. He received his early education at the Public +Schools, and was graduated from the High School of his native town in +August, 1879. In September of the same year he entered the Polytechnic +School at Delft, The Netherlands, from which he was graduated, as Civil +Engineer, in July, 1883. + +During 1884 Mr. Van der Hoek was employed as Inspector on the +construction of a dike across the "het slaak," a shallow tidewater +1-1/2 miles wide, and made surveys and soundings for a record map of +adjacent waters covering an area of 6 sq. miles. + +In 1885 and 1886 he was employed by the Dutch Government as Assistant +Engineer in charge of a party, to re-survey the principal rivers of +Holland, and triangulated about 25 miles of river. + +During 1887 Mr. Van der Hoek was Engineer in charge of the submarine +shore protection for the "Polder of Schouwen," The Netherlands. In 1887 +he left his native land for the United States, arriving in New York +City, on December 25th. + +From the latter part of 1888 to the beginning of 1890, he was employed +by the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Railway Company, at Wheeling, W. +Va., under the late Job Abbott, M. Am. Soc. C.E., Chief Engineer. +The work comprised steam railway construction, a bridge 2,000 ft. in +length, including one span over the Ohio River, 525 ft. long, and three +tunnels from 400 to 2,400 ft. long, all double-track and heavy work +throughout. The Engineer who was in charge of the work, writes: + + "Mr. Van der Hoek reported to me as Chief Draftsman and + Office Assistant during the period above mentioned. He was so + capable and earnest in all of his work, and so well qualified + to perform it, that our relations were not only uniformly + pleasant, but they marked the beginning of a friendship that + lasted until the deplorable end of Mr. Van der Hoek's useful + life." + +In 1890, Mr. Van der Hoek entered the service of the Lehigh Valley +Railroad and continued with this Company until July, 1909; during +this time he was successively engaged as Chief Draftsman, Assistant, +Resident, and Division Engineer. During the extension of the main line +of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, from Sayre to Buffalo, he was employed +as Chief Draftsman, designing masonry and other structures, also as +Assistant and Resident Engineer in charge of certain sections of the +line. Paul S. King, M. Am. Soc. C.E., the Chief Engineer in charge +of the construction of this 175 miles of double-track railroad, soon +recognized the exceptional engineering ability of Mr. Van der Hoek, and +appointed him, successively, Assistant and Resident Engineer in charge +of several sections; of his success and ability, Mr. King writes: + + "The sad and sudden death of Mr. Van der Hoek was indeed + a great shock to me and his many friends in the Lehigh + Valley System, particularly in New York State, his field of + professional work for so many years. + + "I highly regarded his technical ability, sterling character, + and untiring industry, both in the field and office. During the + time he was engaged with me (nearly four years), he filled the + positions of Chief Draftsman, Assistant, and Resident Engineer, + and earned the respective promotions by the zeal and energy + which was always characteristic of him with any work he had + in hand. He continued throughout the period of construction, + a record not equalled by any of the dozen or more Resident + Engineers connected with that work. It was this observation of + his conduct and activity in executing his work that warranted + me to have confidence in his ability to take up the work to be + done after the Operating Department took charge of the line, + recommending him as the Engineer for Maintenance of Way of part + of the new line." + +In 1893, Mr. Van der Hoek was appointed Division Engineer of the +Buffalo Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and had charge, under +the Superintendent of Maintenance of Way, of constructing stations, +water stations, coal trestles, wharves, stone ballasting the line, +building storage yards, rebuilding bridges, etc.; he continued in this +position until July 1st, 1909. + +One of his associates on the Lehigh Valley Railroad writes: + + "I was intimately acquainted with Mr. Van der Hoek and his + work from 1894 to the time of his death, and as a co-worker + on the Lehigh Valley Railroad it is a privilege to testify to + his exceptional engineering ability, his strong, unflinching + character, his untiring energy, and implicit adherence to the + lines of duty. He had exceptional executive ability combined + with a thorough knowledge of details. It was these qualities + that made him so successful in his work. + + "Mr. Van der Hoek was a sober, unassuming, and honest man, a + generous and respected superior to his subordinates, a true + friend, ever ready to assist an aspiring young man to greater + knowledge and better positions; by these he will be truly + missed and mourned." + +On July 12th, 1909, Mr. Van der Hoek entered the service of the Lehigh +Coal and Navigation Company, as Civil Engineer, under the General +Superintendent of that company, at Lansford, Pa., to take charge of +the railroad maintenance, water supply, land surveys, and new outside +construction, on the extensive mining properties of that company in the +anthracite coal fields. + +Mr. Van der Hoek's exceptional ability was thoroughly recognized by +his new employers, and his work and its results were fully appreciated; +he had but laid his plans and perfected a proper organization when, +on the afternoon of December 22d, 1909, while inspecting the work of +laying a new water main through the Lansford, Pa., tunnel, he met his +death by being run over by an engine, and his successful professional +career was thus sadly ended. His Assistant, who had accompanied him on +this inspection, met with the same lamentable fate. + +On May 30th, 1896, Mr. Van der Hoek was married, in New York City, to +Johanna Van der Bent, and is survived by his wife and two children. + +He was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers on +April 7th, 1897. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[5] Memoir prepared by F.E.

Most of his +childhood and early manhood, however, were spent in Missouri. He +received his High School training at Nevada, Mo., and his technical +education at the Missouri State University, from which he was graduated +in 1904, on his completion of the four years' course in Civil +Engineering. In connection with the training at the University, Mr. +Johnson, on graduation, was appointed and commissioned Brevet Second +Lieutenant, in the National Guard of Missouri, by the Governor of the +State. + +His professional work began shortly after graduation, with his +employment in the United States Reclamation Service, in connection with +investigations of reservoir sites for the storage of irrigation water +in Oklahoma. Following this, Mr. Johnson was transferred to the Garden +City, Kans., pumping project, where, from 1905 to 1907, he was engaged +in concrete construction and other work. In the latter part of 1907, +he was transferred to the Minidoka, Idaho, pumping project, where, as +Assistant Engineer, he was engaged until shortly before his death. + +His work on the latter project was in connection with the location and +construction of canals, and he was in active charge of the building +of a large number of small reinforced concrete and timber structures +and bridges for the irrigation system. In prosecuting this work, Mr. +Johnson showed ability of the first order, and gave evidence, by his +conscientious, thorough, and careful work, of great promise for the +future. + +In March, 1910, his health failing, he returned to his home in Lawton, +Okla., to recuperate from a general breakdown, but pneumonia set in, +and he died on March 23d. + +Mr. Johnson was a young man of sterling qualities and rugged honesty; +his life was clean and strong, his character sweet and lovable, and his +capabilities exceptional. Untiring devotion to and interest in his work +were traits which had won for him the deepest respect of his associates +and those who worked under his direction, and his death was a keen +loss, not only to his family to whom he was a devoted son and brother, +but to his many friends and to all those with whom his work brought him +in contact. + +Mr. Johnson was elected a Junior of the American Society of Civil +Engineers on September 6th, 1904. + +FOOTNOTES: + +[6] Memoir prepared by P.M.

If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 +North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email +contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the +Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/45735.zip b/old/45735.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f458c49 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/45735.zip |
