level OF Lake Michigan.
For the accomplishment OF this great
work. att of the bost.known devices ana
the most complete machinery equipment
have been brought into service, and
number Of immensely valuable patents
have had origin during its progress
large number Of ingenious contrlVances
have been conceived. such as hosting
machines and travelling cableways.
Steam shovcls, steam or air pumps and
drills. channeliers. air conprcsses, loco
motives and cars drcdges, grading ma
chimes. steam towboats. dump scows
portable incllnes and derricks, have all
been used and have seemingly reacheu
their highest point Of perfection.
Il has been estimated that this canal
viii be finished and the work Of excava-
ton executed for less than one-half of the
expense Tor the same work on the Man
chester canal.
one of tile most conspicuous features OF
progress on the canal has been the ap-
plication Of compressed air for power
purposes. The comprossed-air system
has proved thoroughly efficient in operat-
ing machinery for excayating purposes
and its economical features have been
satisfactorily disclosed.
The channeling system, so extensively
used in American stone quarries was first
applied TO canal construction upon this
work. The channeller makes a cut Oh
about two inches in width and from ten
to fourteen feet deep. and this going il
advance Of the blasting has the effect Of
producing perfectly smooth, solid bank,
free from irregularities and weaknesses
often produced by blasting.
The steam boom, derricks, and shovels,
together with the method Of excavation
by dump-cars and cable inclines, have
solved the question Of speedy and econom-
ical canal construction, and this drainage
canal will remain as a monument 10
human ingenuity and modern mechanism.
These facts are given as a partial revc-
lation of the great strides that have been
made along this line within the past few
years, and which, if enjoyed in It's present
form of perfection, would have long since
resulted in a direct mingling of the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The building Of the Chicago drainage
canal is an object-lesson Of keenest in
terest to all Americans. and, in fact, TO
the civilized world. Its conception and
completion mark an era in the worlds
history In it's material development. and
this great work, in all of its qualifications,
cannot fail to challenge the admiration
and excite the mind of every thinking
man. .
There Is another step in the worlds
progress now ready to be made. The
same machinery which accomplished the
Chicago canal can be used upon 1t. The
management can have the same energy
infused into it that these Americans
have inspired In this work, and the Near
aqua canal can readily be effected now.

MR. MOoRE,s ARGUMENT


Mr. r. Walton Moore. for the defence,
followed General Scott. In the start he
addressed himself 20 the question whether
the objects expressed i'm the body Of
the act were named In the title. He
had found no case. he said, where an
act had been held constitutional whore
the title expressed only a few OF the
objects named In the body of the act.
Il submit in the first place" said Mr..
Moore, that the act is wholly uncOnstl-
tutional: or. II / am wrong In that, that
Il Is constitutional only so far as II
refers to pool-selling."
Mr.. Moore then took up the
point made by General Scott that
the words "Gc." in the TITLE
OF the Maupin law covered ali objects
I'm the law not expressed In the title. Mr.
Moore said that "Gc." was equivalent 10
"and other things" He read from au-
thorities TO prove that these words could

Charles Dole Selected to Lead Univer-

Charles Dole Selected to Lead Univer-
sity Athletes.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal May
21.-This afternoon Stanford elect
ed her new track captain, who is
to serve during next season. Chas.
Sumner Dole is the lucky man
who will strive next year to make
the team do better work than it
did this season. George Toombs
is the retiring captain, and few
men here have done so much to
keep track athletics booming as has
Toombs. He made an excellent
captain, was hard worker him
self and encouraged 9th RS to work
also. During his captaigrY many
new men were brou. ut our au |
developed, showing their AFFINITY
even this year, while large num-
Der of others will be ready for
Varsity track work next year rs a
result of their few weeks under
Toombs this season.
Charles Dole is well fitted to
advance Stauford's reputation on
the track. lie has long been an
athlete, having made several re-
cords under Y. NJ. G. A. auspices
before he attended Stanford in
1894. Each year he has shown
greater improvement in his track
work, and he now ranks rs cham
pion all-round athlete of the Y.
NJ. G. A. on this coast. He is also
champion all round athlete of
Stanford University and stands at
the top of the list among coast
athletes. He holds several fine
records, among them being 10
feet 10 inches for the pole vault,
the coast record, 5 feet 81 inches
for the high jump; 20 feet u
inches for the running broad
jump; II seconds for the 220-yard
hurdles, and Is As seconds for
the l2O.yard hurdles. Besides
this Dole has shown speed in the
short dashes, 10 4-5 being his 100
yard record.
This brawny young fellow is but
22years old and weighs 10 pounds
in his running clothes. He has
shown considerable ability as a
football player and was substi-
tute on the team last Thanksgiv-
ing. During the last five minutes
of the game he took rankenheim-
er's place at left halfback. I'm
fortunately Dole has met with &C
cidents both years in the early
practice games, which laid him
out for the season, but while play
ing and in good condition there
are few men like him as line
smasher and runner with the ball.
Dole was born in Honolulu and
is nephew of President Dole of
the Sandwich Islands. He comes
from family OF athletes; his
brothers all being athletically in
clined and one Of them having
been on Cornell's crack racing
crew. His major subject here is
economics.
Dole was also elected president
of the Student Guild today-an
organization for the assistance of
needy students, especially those
who are taken sick while at col
lege and are without means.
