Boats VIII Rom.


It is expected that boats will be able
to pass through .theslocks Of the gov
ernment dam that is being constructed
at Meeker island, next summer. The
east side of the dam is rapidly nearing
completion, and the lower and upper
locks will be put in place before cold
weather interferes Il *e
Preliminary work has been COM
menced on a second Golfer dam. which
is about 100 yards*from the west, shofe,
and next season this will be the prin-
cipal scene of activity. From the
outer wall of the lock there will be
built dam, which will have an apron,
over which the water will run. This
dam will be 100 feet wide, made of
criss-cross sections, into which loose
rocks will be placed. Over this will
be the apron. 1t is estimated that a
foot of water will be kept running
over this continually.

Europe has recorded . most un-

less than balloon race from Paris
to Berlin won by Comte De Las
Vauix, who made the trip in. 81 hours.
The fastest express train between the
two cities requires "a hours for the
journey. One object was to land al
near as possible to the points fixed
in advance. Comte De Las Vallette
won that prize, he landing within
1894 feet of the appointed place. 1t
is plain that navigation of the air
is not SO far off as to be hopeless.
