WILL SAVE MILLIONS
American Engineers Make q Happy
Discovery on Canal Route.
CAagres River Freshets Can BE Di'
verted from the Caribbean slope
to the Pacinc Side Of the
Isthmus.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-John wallace,
chief engineer OF the Panama canal.
said in a speech before the Press club
here: George Ehle. an American en-
gineer, with q party Of young college
graduates In four months has made
discoveries about the Panama canal
which the French engineers failed to
make in Is years. His information
makes 1t possible to solve the bathing
problem OF the Chagres river freshets
by diverting the stream to the Pacific
coast. In their explorations Ehle and
his college lads endured hardships that
It took American pluck to overcome.
They spent four months in the tropi-
cal Jungle tracing the course and
source of the Chagres river whose
spring freshets, sometimes 40 feet
high, so far have proved an insuper-
able obstacle to sea level canal prof.
ect."
BY the use Of data collected by the
Ehle party Wallace said that 1t would
be possible to divert the Chagres from
the Caribbean slope to the Pacific side
of the isthmus. This could be done
at IN approximate cost Of $4,000. 900.
This releases s2O,OOO,OO0 Of the $780,
100000 destined for the construction
of locks. The Chagres river foods and
the Culebri cut have always been the
chief difficulties in the Panama canal
project. It was proposed at first to
divert the river into the swamps on
either side of the canal. This was a
dangerous and imperfect makeshift,
but was the best under the circum-
stances at the time.

Kansas Worlds Fair Building.


c. H. Samson, OF Topeka. secretary
of the Kansas State Exhibition COM
pany, said with reference to disposing
of the Kansas worlds fair building:
I'm my opinion the only feasible plan
for preserving this magnificent build
ing for the women of Kansas would
be for the Kansas commission to turn
this over to the state. and locate the
building on the state fair grounds. In
the grove adjacent to the street car
entrance, in which case the Kansas
State Exposition company would set
apart q portion Of the grounds, pre-
pairing 1t in good shape with walks,
and making the grounds attractive.
In case the state would donate the
building for this purpose, the FEEDER
ated clubs of Topeka, with the assist
ance of the Kansas State Exposition
company, could assume the expense OF
removal of the building from the
worlds fair grounds. Then, during
the year, II should be used as needed
by the women's clubs Of the state, and
during the state fair 1t should be used
as a house of comfort. and be made
an exposition of woman's handiwork,
art, ETC."

Ridlcule Pueblo story.

Kansas politicians ridicule the re-
port sent out from Pueblo that q por-
ton of western Kansas is likely to DO
ceded to Colorado. The attorneys In
the attorney generals Office say the
story Is purely Of Colorado origin and
that II the proposed cession were to
DO made 1t would not help matters In
the least as regards the irrigation case
as the entire Arkansas valley must be
considered In the settlement
The story from Pueblo said: An
effort at q solution of the Kansas-Col-
orado water suit is in progress and II
the efforts OF those most interested In
the case are successful strip Of the
western portion Of Kansas about 100
miles wide will BE annexed to the
state of Colorado and the litigation
now before the supreme court at
Washington will be thrown out. Agi-
tation along this line has already
started and prominent politicians In
both Kansas and Colorado are exert
ing every effort to get the passage
OF a bill through the legislature OF
both states whereby the western por-
ton of Kansas can be taken into Col
orado. The strip Of country in western
Kansas which It is proposed to annex
to Colorado is that most affected by
the water suit. II Is the arid region
of the state and the irrigation prob
lem is of the greatest Importance to
the residents. To the east Of Dodge
City practically no water is taken
from the Arkansas river for irrigat-
ing purposes and the suit against Col
orado was brought for the purpose OF
securing a sufficient amount Of water
in that portion Of the state extending
westward from Dodge City to the
Colorado state line.
