CARBONDALE AND THE PRINCE
His Personal Dispatch to President
Roosevelt Heard in This City Be-
fore Washington.

The greetings which Prince Henri. of
Prussia, sent from the ocean lineA by
wireless telegraphy to President Rdlpse-
welt was heard in Carbondale before
they reached the president at WASH
ington.
This seems singular, but none the
less ,true. The storm which put the
wires out of service was what made il
possible for the news to reach here on
it's way TO Washington. When the
message from Prince Henry was re-
ceived in New York city through the
New York's wireless telegraph station
at Nantucket shoals, the direct line of
the Postal company to Washington was
out of order. One of the four lines of
the company to Chicago had to be en-
ployed. Carbonate is on this line
which comes up the Hudson and pass
ing through this city goes through Dun
daft, following the old turnpike until
the Ohio line is reached when the Lake
Shore road is followed to Chicago. In
MiddletoWn, n. Y, is where the mes
sage was first heard while in transit
CarbOndale was the second town where
the Instruments clicked off Prince
Henry's greetings. This was about
80 Sunday morning. President Roose-
Velts acknowledgment of the princes
greetings also licked itself on the ma
chimes in the Postal Office in this city
In order that these messages might go
TO Washington from New York and be
returned, 1t was necessary to send
them distance of three thousand miles
instead of a couple of hundred which
is the length of the most direct line
between the two points.
The message from Prince Henry took
the roundabout route from New York
to MddletoWn, n. Y. Carbondale,
Binghamton, Elmira. Salamanca. Olean,
jamestown, n. Y; Cory and Mead
Vile, Pa; Warren, Cleveland Tihin,
Fostoria, Defiance, Ohio; Elkhart.
Westville and Drew. Indiana; then
from Chicago via St. Louis, Mo-: Mem
phis, Tenn; Nicksburg, Miss; Bir-
mingham, Ala. Augusta. Fla. and
Richmond. Va: to Washington. The
message from President Roosevelt had
TO return by the same route.

SALT LAKE SINKING.
For Number of Years 1t Has Been
Going Down.

The decline in the surface of Great
Salt Lake is causing apprehension
among the people of Utah. This inter-
estng body of water has been steadily
sinking for number of years. but the
causes of its decline are not we'll under
stood. 1t is thought by some that the
lake is subject to cycles of change
which correspond to like cycles of years
of heavy and light rainfall, and that it
is now undergoing one of its low-water
periods from which it will soon revive
The movements in the waters have also
been thought to be related to the de-
velopment of agricultural and grazing
interests, which divert large quantities
of water from the, streams which feed
the lake for use upon the land. Dur
ing past years the cutting of the timber
on the neighboring mountains has been
unusually heavy, practically destroy
ing the forest protection of the head
waters of number of streams whose
waters flow into the lake. The cutting
of these forests is supposed to have in
jured the flow of the streams and thus
to have affected the lake level. Great
Salt Lake is the means of considerable
resource to Utah and the value or
property near the lake and certain lines

IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

That the Carbondale Metal Working
company is going to carry on its OPP
erations on a broad scale and is going
to be a big factor In the industrial
world is evidenced more and more every
day in numerous ways Perhaps the
most convincing evidence of this is the
enterprise 1t has shown in securing for
the heads of departments the most
skilled and efficient men procurable
regardless of the effort 1t may cause TO
place these men on the pay roll.
Following the selection of former
Master Mechanic William Johnson, of
the Delaware and Hudson company, as
general manager of the company, comes
the choice of Grant Nicholson, of this
city. as chief machinst. Like Mr..
Johnson, he is an old Delaware and
Hudson employee, having had the re-
sponsible position of foreman of the
air brake shop of this corporation. His
Ncll-founded knowledge of mechanics
md above all his wealth of practical
IDEAS made him valuable man for the
Delaware and Hudson, but doubly
valuable to the Metal Working com
pany. which is Just in its infancy and
needs the best of materials. Accord
company. which Mr.. Nicholson could
hardly put aside and now he is deli
gently at work with his new duties.
As General Manager Johnson has
true appreciation of Mr.. Nicholson's
worth. the desired and necessary har-
mony exists between them from the
very start which will go II long way to-
wards bringing about good results. 1t
60 I,, ii. to
career of chief Machinst Nicholson
will be successful.
An appointment that is being favor
ably discussed among the men most
concerned is that of William Hubbard
of Garfield avenue. who like Mir. Mich
olson. goes from the Delaware ana
Hudson company to an advanced posi-
ton.
Mr.. Hubbard leaves the position of
foreman of the Delaware ana HUDSON
locomotive shop to become foreman OF
the Ontario and Western shops at May
field yard. under the new supeiintenu-
cnt of motive power, William ii. Ken
ncy. He has an expert knoWledse Oh
mechanics which has been satisfactor-
lily tested as an overseer under Master
Mechanics Rettew. Johnson and Rem-
iro of the Delaware ana Hudson COM
pany. He has the requisites therefore.
for Il successful career in his new Held
and there is no doubt that time Will
amply justify the wisdom of his selec-
tion for the responsible position to
which he has been called.
