year was an exception, the first she
ever failed to come and only because
of her delicate health. She has lived

James J. Hill has had some very large
vessels built for his trans-Pacific line.
But it is extremely risky to answer
these questions for the future.
The economies developed under the
new management at Panama have re-
suited in a new theory regarding con-
tractors and the general methods by
which Uncle Sam is to get this work
done. There is considerable prospect
that the commissioners may build the
canal themselves, just as they are now
carrying on the work from the point
where the French left it, at places like
the Culebra cut, where a certain large
volume Of excavation is inevitable.
Excavation Cheaper Than Expected.
Duttt whole scheme, including the
number of locks, the locations Of the
dams, and the lift from sea level, is
now under consideration almost as
new problem. It is believed that sub.
stantial improvements can be made
over the line which was recommended
| by the canal commission in its last
study of the relative advantages of the
two routes.
The examinations made since the
new commission assumed charge devel.
| op the fact that the work of excava..
tion can be done considerably cheaper
than had been supposed, and hence it
is likely that canal of thirty-seven or
thirty-eight feet can be constructed
for the sums which congress and the
public supposed would be necessary
for thirty-five foot canal. 1t is prob.
able these economies will prove so i'm.
portant that the commission will de.
eide squarely for a forty foot canal,
from end to end, to harmonic with the
new channel in the New York harb'tr
land with the aspirations of other ports.

Second money in the free-for-all
pace, purse $500, at the Jefferson coun-
ty fair yesterday at Fairfield went to
Rex Americas, the fast pacing horse of
Sheriff j. H. Cremer. Young Pat won

contest in the three heats were be-
tween the winner and Rex. the local
horse racing Young Pat all the way.
The first and second heats went in
2:12A, but the third. in which Rex
Americus' driver, Woods, trailed
Young Pat, was run in 2:15A. Bald
Hornet, DR.. Tom and Pick Up were
also entered in this event.
Governor Gear, L. A. Meeker's
horse. won the 2:25 trot in three
straight heats from Lenmatta. The
purse for this race was 5000. The heats
were made in 2:24A; 2:24A; and
2:27R.

THE PANAMA CANAL WILL
PROBABLY BE FORTY FEET DEEP

Washington, D. G., Sept. 1.-THE
Panama canal commission is now con-
sidering a plan for constructing the
canal on forty foot basis. If canal
had been built across the isthmus q
generation ago it would have been
worthless today, so great have been
the changes in the draft of vessels. To
adapt canal with locks. to these new
conditions would almost be equivalent
to rebuilding it. The French company
did their work at Panama on thirty
foot basis. All of our surveys and es-
Inmates have been based upon pro-
posed depth of thirty-five feet 1t is
now practically certain that some
thing better will be done, although the
details of several plans await further
development. Their study may ac-
count in part for some apparent delay
in beginning the real work of the canal
construction.
1t was first proposed that the locks
be established on forty foot basis,
while leaving the prism of the canal
with a depth of thirty-five feet. This
was the principle recognized in the eX-
cavation Of the Chicago drainage canal.
1t was assumed that the Panama canal
would have five locks, two on this side
and three on the other. and that it's
greatest lift would be eighty-two feet
at low water and ninety feet at high
water, the variation due to fuctua.
lions in the lake level
Lesson Taught by Suez Canal.
Were the canal in operation today
thirty-five feet would be an ample
depth. The only traffic in the world
that supports many vessels of stipend
Gus size, is that between our north
Atlantic ports and Europe, although

Without Ready for Dash.
London, Sept, lit is stated that
the remaining vessels Of the Russian
fleet are ready for another dash to the
open sea, and that every preparation
has been made to destroy the fortress

Should the Russian fleet make the
expected dash seaward the world, it is
believed, will witness one of the most
spectacular incidents of the war in
history. It is known that Admiral

Muscatine, Sept. 17.--(Special.) y
Two men, arrested at Brighton last ev-
ening on suspicion of having taken
part in the robbery of the Rock Island
passenger train near Let's Monday
night, are in Jail in this city, guarded
from the public and from newspaper
reporters by Rock Island detectives.
Though the prisoners cannot be iden-
titled either by the descriptions of the
robbers given by Engineer Durham or
they are evidently regarded as impor.
tives, who are determined no one shall
either see them Or speak with them,
Dogs on Trail at Winfield.
Near Winfield today bloodhounds
have been trying to follow the trail of
the men seen by Ed Beamis hiding in
haystack on his farm. Last night
farmer living about two miles from
BEAMS farm told the detectives that
he saw the five men before Beamis
saw them and his description of two
of them TALES exactly with that given
of the robbers by Engineer Durham
A posse started the hounds on the trail
from the haystack this morning but
the dogs lost the scent after travelling
most Of the morning and fresh start
was taken this afternoon. The detec-
tives who are at the head of the posse
are determined to search the entire
country thoroughly and they believe
the men seen by Beamis and his neigh
Dor are the robbers.
Prisoners Had Jewelry.
The men who were arrested yester-
day at Brighton by Marshal McCarty,
of that town, were brought to Musca-
tine last night in irons and were taken
at once to the Jail. Though their cap.
tors will not talk and will not allow
the men interviewed, it is learned that
they had no money when arrested but
had quantity of cheap jewelry The
reason for the secrecy maintained re-
garding them by the detectives cannot
be fathomed.,
