A WIDER CHANNEL.
Dynamite to Be Used on the
Ice Below the Great Jam.
Strip 5000 Feet Long, 300 Feet
Wide viii Be Disposed Of.
Chops No Longer Will Be Blocked With Ice
Work Progressing.

The work on the channel in the ice be
low the jam is progressing as fast as posi-
BILE, but the elements have contrived their
worst TO impose all kinds of difficulties in
the way of the men.
There is now about 5000 feet to be cut
before reaching the foot of the jam, which
will take, as nearly as can be estimated,
about two days to finish.
George n. Lawrence, on his return from
the scene, Friday, said to a Journal re-
porter that the condition of the fields was
much more encouraging than on the day
previous. The thaw had taken off much
OF the snow. which had been up to the
knees of the workers, hndering them in
getting about
When asked regarding the effect the
cold would have, Mr.. Lawrence replied
- think that it will make the ice all the
better for cutting, and with the crew of
men at our disposal think that we can
go right ahead and finish it up in about
two days"
When asked regarding the closing up of
the channel, Mr.. Lawrence replied:
The closing in was caused by the
stretch of ice from the Chops up along the
east bank, fer a distance of about y
miles, breaking away from the shores,
swinging into and closing the channel.
The east shore opposite this stretch makes
off very boldly, which is the cause of the ice
working off in this unseemly fashion.
What do You propose to do about it:
was asked.
This ] = miles stretch, which has be
come detached, we will try to blow up by
dynamite. OF course we will begin at the
Chops and work up river so that. as fast
as the ice shall break up, it will pass off
down the river. With this section out OF
the way, do not see how there can be
any more such blockades as we expert
enced during the week, and which made
it necessary to leave the work of cutting
until the pass at the Chops could be
cleared to let the ice pass through.
BY blowing up this section, channel
will be obtained which will average about
500 feet in width for the entire distance
of the strip. The channel which was
closed, you understand, was about 15o
feet wide. The strip of ice which will be
blown up, is 800 feet wide, and more,
making the total width of 500 feet.
This is most opportune, as the chan
mel at that place would have been wdened
anyway, and the blowing up process will,
think, be easier and give more satisfac
tion than cutting"
Mr.. Lawrence will leave for the scene
of work, early Saturday morning.

plainly in the want of good rich blood

Portland, March 20.-Gen. Neal Dow
celebrated his god birthday anniversary,
Friday There were no formal exercises,
but he received congratulations from
many friends all over the United States.
Gen. Dow is still remarkably vigot-

Gen. Dow's life since his last birth
day has been marked by nearly if
not quite the old activity. During the
summer months he travelled freely,
and responded to many calls for his
services as a public speaker. In the
early summer he addressed a grea.
number Of outdoor meetings in this city,
and in the fall spoke to at least 5000
people at Old Orchard. During the
year he wrote much for publication
and kept up his great correspondence
with temperance workers all over the
world.
Gen. Dow has not changed his man
ner of living. He is still a great student
and keeps well up with the times. He
does not confine his attention to works
on the subject of temperance. but is in
terested i'll almost every line of
thought. He is still close student OF
political parties, and watches with I'M
