fortably over the edge, oblivious Of ev-
erything but the fact that. trout were
biting beautifully. His reveries were
interrupted by choleric voice, yelling:
"Git out o. that-skedaddle now, you,
er b'gosh I'm after We with my hoe"
Mr.. Cleveland looked up. He saw a
big man with red face bearing down
upon him at a lively pace. He did not
stop to parley. He wasted no time In
Offering his card. He retreated bur.
riedly down to his carriage, twenty
yards away.
This is how it all happened. Through
his wife Mr.. Cleveland is kinsfolk with
Richard Watson Glider, the poet-editor
Of the Century magazine. Mr.. Glider
has q modest little cottage at Tyring-
ham. He had invited Mr.. Cleveland to
come up from Princeton, N. j., on a
fishing trip. The region around Tyring-
ham is famous among sportsmep for
its trout streams and quail and part
ridge woods.
The exvPresident had accepted the
poets invitation. The two lovers Of
angling had selected Hop creek, the
best trout stream in that section. Hop
creek Is q free stream for the most
part. but q few farmers have put up
signs of "No trespassing." Among
these was Farmer Johnson. Early in
the morning Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Glider drove down from the Riverside
Hotel. 1t was agreed that the express
ident should start on Farmer John
sons place and work down stream to
meet the poet coming up Mr., Cleve-
land had Just landed big trout when
Johnson caught sight of him and pro-
ceeded to say things. The ex-President
made no reply. He made tracks for
safety.
"Did you know you were chasing
Grover ClevelandY' some one asked
Johnson after the incident had made
him famous. "Wal." he replied, Il
calc'late they Amt no need O talkin'.
Mebbe did an mebbe l didn't. But,
anyhow, nobudy, big guns er little, gifts
to go poachin' in my trout stream"
Farmer Johnson, 1t is said, has
grievance. When Cleveland was Pres
ident, Farmer Johnson wanted to be
put In command Of the Tyringham
postotfiee. He was kept in the ranks
and never got over 1t.

Washington State Fair.


The Washington state fair commits
zion at North Yakima, has completed
the premium list. and the book is in
the hands of the printer. 1t has been
revised and enlarged to cover, as far as
possible. all the industries OF this great
state, and induce exhibits of products
from the Pacific Northwest. The list
has been increased by adding many ar
ticles of home production. and the
prizes more than doubled, to insure
greater displays of native resources.
The commission recognizes the neces-
sity of honest competition in farming
and dairying. fruit and vegetable
growing, ranch and range productions
and all lines of progress in the field
and factory. While the state fair has
not yet reached perfection. the earnest
cooperation of all interested will make
of the fourth annual exhibition. the
best of it's kind ever held in the state.
Many excellent exhibits are promised
from the leading sections OF the state,
and Oregon and British Columbia,
will be we'll represented. The race
course is in fine condition and several
horses are now training for the speed
contests, for which large purses will be
offered. The commission offers $lO.-
600 in premiums for the various exhib-
it's and races. Special rates have been
obtained from the railroads, and excur-
sions will be run from the cities OF Sc
attic, Spokane, Tacoma and intermedi'
ate points. The merchants and manu-
facturers have contributed literally in
special premiums and with the pros
poet of enormous crops there is no
reason why the fair should not be a
eomplete success.

and five years time for construction.
So great an undertaking as boring
hole through a mountain range big
enough for ships to sail through would
seem impossible, were it suggested by
any lesser authority than Mr.. Kar-,
wiese.
Mr.. Karwiese was consulting engin-
eer in the designing and building Of the
canal through the Isthmus of Suez, and
for a short time was engaged with De
Lesseps in Panama Almost at the
start he became convinced that the
Panama route would ultimately be
abandoned, and says upon investiga-
ton he found that the existing isthmi-
an surveys were inaccurate and In
many instances merely a matter of
guesswork.
Accordingly, in 1891 he began sys-
tematic survey of the whole isthmus,
which he has completed, and Is now
possessed of maps, soundings and other
records, all convincing facts. He Is, Of
course, familiar with the Nicaraguan
region, and condemns the course there
with objections similar to those actu-
ally encountered In Panama.
The proposed new route involves
some features altogether novel in canal
building, but it Is claimed to be not on
" shorter, cheaper and far more prac-
teal than any, but cheaper and far
more practical than any other course
ever suggested. Mr.. HARNESSES ex-
perience in canal building and fame as
an expert, assure its consideration by
the United States Government. It is
probable that Mr.. Karwiese will ac-
company on their surveys the Isthmian
Canal Commission recently appointed
by the President to investigate all
routes, and will personally go over the
ground Of his work with the officers of
the Government
According to surveys and estimates
furnished by Mr.. Karwiese, ship tun-
mel canal can be completed through the
lower Isthmus Of Panama, between the
Gulf Of Darien and the bed Of the San
ia Maria River. This region is known
as the Aputi Valley, and is crossed d.
ametrically by the Cardilliere range Of
mountains, which extends throughout
the length of the isthmus, connecting
the Andes of South America with the
Rocky Mountain system of the North
ern continent.
At their point Of intersection with
the Aputi Valley the Cardilliere are
steep and high and almost solid rock.
Mr. Karwiese Is ready to demonstrate
to the Canal Commission the practical
bility of cutting through this rock, not
canyon, but tunnel. $50 feet high,
with % feet added for depth Of water.
This interoceanic ship tunnel would
be S.8SS feet or approximately, one
and tWo-thirds miles long. and wide

GREAT SHIP TUNNEL.
STARTLING SCHEME FOR UNIT
ING TWO OCEANS.
German Engineering Expert Proposes
to Build q Canal Across tho Isthmus
Between North and South America
Hole Through a Mountain.

G. A. Karwiese, the German en-
cheering expert, who was consulting
engineer In the construction Of the SUI
ez Canal, now proposes to build still
more remarkable ship canal across the
isthmus between North and South
America.
His plan Is to tunnel through noun
tain range. By this plan full-rigged
ships with masts reaching up $50 feet
high could sail right through the noun
tain range four abreast. The object OF
such tremendous and unheard-of I'M
dertaking as this is to make the short
est possible cut through the isthmus
connecting North and South America,
Some time ago this plan Of Mr.. Kar-
wiese was submitted to Admiral Walk
er,of the Nicaragua Canal Commission.
The proposed Nicaragua Canal which
the United States Government has had
repeated surveys made for will have to
be 169 miles long. Engineer HARNESSES
proposed canal would be but eleven
miles long. Only one and two-thirds
miles of this would be tunnel through
the mountain. The other nine miles
would be simply the enlarging Of ex-
listing waterways leading to the At
lantic and Pacific,
The interior of the ship tunnel could
be lighted by electricity, and motor en-
ergy supplied by electrical power trans
formed from the tides by machines es-
pecially constructed for that purpose.
Such machine already exists and has
been patented by William Bowman, OF
Norfolk, N. Y.
A single lock at each terminus Of can
al construction would absolutely con-
troll the water level between the two
oceans. These locks would, of course,
be necessary to prevent flood tide on
one side of the isthmus from rushing
through the artificial opening between
the continents. By this method navi-
CATION through the isthmus in still wa
ter and on ocean level would be prac-
ticaliy possible. No other plan ever
suggested provides for an ocean level
canal.
Engineer Karwiese claims that such
a canal could be built IN two years for
