WINDY CITY'S HARBOR
Major Willard Advocates a Large
Scheme of Improvement
at Chicago.
WOULD DREDGE FOR DEEPER WATER
Says the Tunnels Under the River
Should Be Lowered-Cost of
the Work Estimated.

Washington. July 21.-Plans for
deepening the harbor and Chicago riV-
er to Il depth of twenty-six feet are
conditionally indorSed and recon.
mended in the annual report of Major
Willard. which arrived yesterday at
the war department. The United
States government has interested itself
in the plans for making Chicago har-
Dor adequate to her increasing COM
merce. and the enormous work of
dredging to twenty feet is approved
and congress will lend assistance.
Speaking of the reIhoval of obstruc
tions the report says: The tunnels I'M
der, the Chicago river do not admit
boats drawing over seventeen feet. but
there is no doubt they will he lowered
or removed at an early day. the only
question being who shall bear the
cost"
Urges Dredging or the HarbOr.
After discussing the bridges and the
work done by the sanitary district. he.
concludes: In view of these facts.
and to secure navigable depth for
boats now in service or building that
can load to twenty-five feet. | recon-
mend that authority he given by con
ereSs to dredge to depth of twenty
six feet below low water in the harbOr
and to twenty-six feet below hydraulic
grade in the inner harbor. The in
creased depth of the harbor will allow
for possible fill and insure against
heavily loaded vessels grounding on
the bottom in n swell. while that for
the inner harbor and river will both al
low for fill and also for the drop of the
river surface up stream in the south
branch. due to the river set slope of the
river caused by the discharge of the
sanitary canal required by the state
laws"
Whore tho Dredgings Should BE Dumped.
Speaking of dumping dredgings along
the shore between Sixteenth and Thir-
ty-ninth streets. Major Willard alludes
to the complaint of the citizens. and
adds: "On account of the danger to
the city water supply I am of opinion
that all future dumping should be in ac-
ccrdance with the wishes of the people
and the views of the health officers,
and be made at least eight miles lake
ward and far removed from the city in
takes. The people have paid enor
nous sums 10 divert the sewage from
the lake i'm the interest of the public
health. and they feel entitled to pro-
lection at the hands of the United
states"

these expositions were purely shows the

however, are designed, first, for the

government ought not to do anything
"that can be done by private individu
als," as well, or better. EXpositions ap-
propriated for by decadent members of

an article from the pen of William B.
Carlile, manager at Chicago for the
Mutual Life of New York, from which
we quote, in part, as follows:
'It is not my purpose to glorify the

reference to the benign humanity under

STILL BREAKING THE PENSION
RECORD.
RECORD.

The abstract of Commissioner of Pen
sions H. @. Evans's forthcoming annual
report shows that for the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1901, the pension roll
broke all records, with over a million
names on the roll during the year. The
number at the end of the year was
997, 1856, and the total number carried on
the roll during the year was, 1,041, 1921.
During the year AZ, ,79S claims of which
A 1926 were original pensions, were al
lowed, and the losses to the roll for the
same period, on account of death and
other causes, were 43, 1856, making a net
addition to the roll of 1906 names, of
which 3,849 were on account Of the re-
cent war with Spain. The pension pay
ments for the year amounted to $780,
531 ,4S3, and the total sum expended for
June 30, 1866, to June 80, 1901, was
So ,666, ,9O4 ,5S9.
A remarkable feature of the years
pension business is the fact that thirty
six years after the close of the war there
seems to be actually an increase all
along the line. The losses during the
year by deaths alone amounted to over
3S, 900, and yet there is an actual gain
of pensioners, not including the Spanish
war names. The explanation is to be
found in the fact that practically all ap-
plicants are granted pensions under
the very broad disability law of 1890
as amended in 1900. There were 45,S6O
claimants for original pensions in 1900,
and A 1926 claims, or all but 1885 were
allowed. The pensioners under the act
of 1890 and 1900, which let down the
bars to the widest prodigality and
opened the doors to fraud, received last
year $66, 1878, ,4s1, or an increase of ST.
2O7 ,401 over last year.
That the pension rolls are permeated
with fraud, does not admit of doubt. 1t

surance business"
After briefly stating his opinion "that
the imperishability Of our established
government may not find better and
more accurate measurement than in the
rise and fall of this one department of
our industrial activity Mr.. Carlile
characterized life insurance as follows:
"a business demanding level headed
ness and hard common sense; CONNER
cial instinct and practical wisdom
honesty, not merely of purpose, but of
acts, deeds and utterance; honesty of
heart, of thought and Of countenance;
honesty in the things that are to give
semblance to a well-rounded career,
all impregnably backed by an invinci-
BILE squareness, marking every trans
action concerned in it's progress a bust
ness that dares demand Of every man
his best, and dares insist that this best
be made the better; that would claim,
as well, mans best Of heart and soul;
whose multiplying exactions mean a
sleepless watchfulness, an unfaltering
step, an ever cheerful, responsive alert
ness. And may the dawn of that day
never be when this creation shall wit
ness the limitation of it's own improve
ment, for why stay we on the earth
unless to grow?"
Of the immensity of opportunity that
the business of life insurance holds forth
to the young man of today, the writer
states that it was circumscribed only by
the ability Of man to conceive it's mag
nitude and appreciate it's responsibilities.
In this connection, he said
"Emphatically, no sluggards are want
ed in this calling where the current of
business activity is swift and powerful;
no tinselled youth may expect to find in
this business the kind of gold Of which
he is made; only the unalloyed sort
may triumph here, for this young giant
of our industrial life, already entrusted
with fully one -fiftieth part of our recog-
nized wealth as people, has naught but
contempt for the vacillating idler, and
demands for the furtherance of self
imposed gigantic tasks, the courageous
devotion Of the unborn giants Of energy
and Of intellect, who shall spring up out
of the coming life, else, who shall guard
this honorable business, shall make as
adamant the memories, works and
deeds of them who gave to it being, if
not our worthy youths when to man
hood grown?"
Having quoted short extracts from the
sayings of men who became especially
prominent in the life underwriting field,
Mr.. Carlile closed his paper with the
following tribute to the business:
