Tennessee Central Rumor.

A rumor has gained circulation
that the Tennessee Central railroad

Hopkinsville, Ky. This report
seems to be without foundation.

Notes from tha Chef.

Roasts should not be washed, but
carefully wiped with a damp cloth.
Before beef is placed in the oven it
should be scared on all sides, as this
prevents the juice from escaping.
When it is desired to remove a dish
from a cold mold, hot cloth should
be wrapped about it. The reverse
should be done if it is hot dish that
is to be removed

An addition to the cotton mill

produced such satisfactory results as
to make it permanent. Effort should
be made by appropriate legislation to
bring about this result. The impor-
tance of good highways in all the af-
fairs of life and in the development of
the commonwealth cannot be over
estimated and Tennessee should not
remain backward on this question.
AGRICULTURE.
Hon. Thomas H. Paine, the COM
missioner of agriculture, has made re-
port of the operations of that depart
ment, showing gratifying results. Spe
cial exertion has been directed toward
the advancement of farming interests
through the holding of county and
State institutes. Nine State and
county Institutes have been held dur
ing the last biennial term. The live
stock department has been trans
ferred to the agricultural department
from the State board of health, and it
has been conducted with activity and
efficiency. One of the objects sought
to be attained was the prevention of
the spread of Texas fever and to free
territory heretofore infected from it.
Four counties have been placed above
the national quarantine line since the
last report, viz, Lincoln, Cumberland,
Upton and White. Moore and Bled-
soc counties now stand with favor
able recommendation for similar &C
ton.
Encouragement should be lent to
the live stock and agricultural inter
ests of the State. For many years
Tennessee has not made the advance
III live stock production that the
richness of our soil and the adapta-
bility of our climate to that industry
would justify. We have been out
stripped therein by other States that
have no superior agricultural advan-
tages over lis. l believe that addI-
tional impetus to this, to general ag-
riculture AID to other important
interests of the State could be sub
served by lending encouragement to a
State fair or to such other means as
would best accomplish the end sought.
If you concur with me in this con-
clusion, it will require an appropria-
ton to carry it out.
CONCLUSION.
Difficulties have obstructed our way
in the past, and we cannot hope to be
entirely free from them in the future,
yet gratifying progress has been made
by the State, and a bright future
cheers us on. One of the greatest
commonwealths of the republic and
the greatest civilization ever attained
ty man are committed to our keep
ing. Through wise legislation ana
the patriotic devotion of our people
this may be perpetuated. A mercifuI
God has guarded us thus far; let us
continue to work together for the good
of our people, for the upbuilding OF
the State and the preservation OF the
republic.

ENGINEERS PLANS ADOPTED

Money Is Available and the Open River Is Now
Assured on Better Plan than fiart's
at a Cost of S4,l25 900

sired right OF way is obtained, con-
struction will be begin with FUNDS now
available.
The approved plans. which were
largely prepared by Major Langfitt,
after consultation with the board, calls
for a canal eight and one-half miles
long, sixty feet wide at the bottom,
and with a uniform depth of eight feet.
At intervals of one mile along the canal
there will be constructed a series of
basins of such size as will permit the
passage of ships going in opposite di-
rections. There will be four locks, one
at the upper entrance to the canal,
with a lift of seventeen feet, intended
to pass boats between the canal and
the river until the limit of navigation
is reached. Another lock, which will be
situated just below the head of Five
Mile Rapids, will have a lift of eleven
feet, while at the lower entrance is to
be a tandem or double lock with
total lift of sixty nine feet at times OF
extreme low water, each lock to nave
lift of thirty-four and one-half feet.
All locks are to be forty feet wide, ana
of sufficient length to pass boats $50
feet long and~drawing seven feet OF
water.
Where the canal is cut out of solid
rock, it will not be lined. Where 1t
passes through sand and gravel it will
be lined with solid walls of masonry,
the bottom throughout to be heavily
concreted. The board admits that the
average summer high water of the Coz
. lumbia will partly overflow the canal
but it is believed the canal will surer

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 9-In
anticipation of the receipt of the mess

of the senate assembled early today in
the senate chamber and in the cloak

In the house, which is not so Sc

the scene for an hour or two before

SAYS: The special board of engineers,
which, for months. has been consider
ing various plans for overcoming the
distractions in the Columbia river be-
tween The Dalles and Cello, has finally
devised continuous canal project
which can be constructed for S4,125,0OO.
The new plan, which is a radical modl-
fication of the Harts' project, was APP
proved by the secretary Of war today,
after il had been indorsed by the chief
of engineers, and the much h-sought
open river is at last in sight
War department officials are highly
gratified to find that the board has sue
ceeded in devising an improvement that
is not only cheaper but better than the
Harts' plan Last July, when the
board held it's first meeting, the opln-
ion prevailed among its members that
a continuous canal could not be built
| for less than IS, S,O00, 900, but by studying
a number of possible routes, the board
has been able, by taking advantage OF
natural channels and depressions
through the rocks, to plan contlnu-
Gus canal on the south bank of the Co
lumbia. from the big eddy to point
just above the bead of Cello Falis
which can be constructed for little
more than half the cost that was an
ticipated.
