TO MAKE NEW TRUNK LINE
Pcrc Marquette Directors Hold an I'M
pOrtant Meeting,

Directors Of the Pere Marquette
met in Chicago yesterday to discuss
the expansion Of the road into a
trunk line The directors came from
New Buffalo over the new line, which
was opened for use to-day. The di-
rectors leased the Michigan Central
tracks from st. Thomas to New Buff
falo for twenty-one years. The en-
trance to Chicago gives that city q
sixth line to the east. No date has

Government Begins Building.
Ten of the largest and most modern
suction dredgeS ever built are now I'M
der way or are soon to be constructed.
Some are nearly ready for launching.
They will be apportioned for the vari-
Gus coasts, the lakes, the Atlantic har-
bors, the gulf, the rivers and the Pa
cific region.
1t is expected that, except in ex-
treme cases and in times of exceeding
activity Of Improvement, the dredges
apportioned to the lakes will do nearly
all government work, and that they
will be steadily employed in repair
and maintenance of harbors and chan
nels continuously for many years.
In making their fight against the
government as a dredger. the private
interests in the business have contend
ed that their means Of livelihood was
being taken away, after they had spent

Gated an army Of employees.
Largest Ever Made.
The new dredges are to be the
largest and most powerful ever built
for the different classes Of work they
will have to do. They are designed
to move dirt at a smaller cost than
anything ever put af1oat, and all new
improvements have been taken advan-
tage of in their plans. They are all
self-propelling and will need no tugs to
with immense Bins for dredged ma
terial. and when these bins are full
the machine itself moves out to sea
and deposits the waste where wanted.
Others are arranged for depositing the
excavated material in scoWs alongside
which. when. full. are towed out and
dumped in the usual MANNER r..s
Ready the Coming Year.
All will work by suction, The ma
terial to be dredged is first loosened
by powerful jets Of water driven from
the ship, and is then drawn up into
the ship by great pumps, along with
immense masses of water. Dis
charged into bins or scows, the solid
material sinks and the water escapes
into the sea once more.
Flexible tubes, fifteen inches in di-
ameter, reach out from the ship to the
bottom of the harbors and immense
rotative centrifugal pumps. capable OF
handling solid masses as large as will
pass thru the tubes, pull up whatever
Is at their ends. Machinery Of pow
erful design and novel plan is to be in

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Han
mas: decision mot to take any part
whatever in the forthcoming presi-
dental campaign will probably be an
nounced in d few days, and in such
a way as to end all further specula-
ton regarding his position and his at

1t will be made clear that the senator
is absolutely loyal to the president
and that he has no desire to dictate
the name of the candidate for vice
president. He will not present the
name of an Ohio man for vice presi-
dent, nor will he express preference
for any other man. In this respect
Mr.. Hanna will place himself in the
same attitude President Roosevelt.
The vice presidency will be left for
the development of boons, and the
convention will be relied upon to Sc
lect a candidate who will at least not
weaken the ticket, that will have the

given to the ticket In 1900, when Mr.

MOSQUITO MENACE
HAS BEEN ABOLISHED

( Rain barrels and cisterns, If indispens-

! should have enough kerosene oil
| thrown into them to keep their sur

This is for the guidance of private

essarily reserved for the local authori-

The. Investigation Of the transmission
of chil1s and fever by the anopheles
maculipennis mosquito has resulted in
scientific demonstration that it Is the
female which lives throughout the win

cellars. During winter this species may
transmit malaria by biting SOMEONE

gestion made here:
Winter fumigation of cellars in ma
Iarial districts, is, therefore, a sanitary
precaution of the highest value, since
1t Will destroy the alternating mos
qu1toes that would start the breeding

But this is not all: the expert who
advises cellar fumigation is equally in
slstent on the thorough medical treat
ment or people who have the maIarial
fever and thus supply ammunition for
the use of the transmitting mosquito
He says:
IF we lessen or destroy the sources
from which mosquitoes may be in
1ected. the mere presence of the insect
can cause no injury. 1t makes no diff
ference how many anopheles we NAV
