at the progress Of operations between
the TaitSe and Hun rivers. The Center
and Right armies made substantial gains
While the Left army was desperately
struggling To envelop the Russian right,
Field Marshal Oyama despatched two
kilograms. The first of which said:
The state OF affairs in the direction
of Mukden is as follows:
'On the morning of oct. T. the central

The Left army continues to attack the
enemy along the Schil river and at
Longwangmiao and Wulichieh since

ed its object. At present, aided by rein
fcrcements the left wing Is trying to en-

Judging from the above state OF affairs
the operations in those directions are
favorably toward the attain

SCOTLAND'S GREAT CANAL.
Undertaking VIII save Hundreds of
Miles and COST $50, ,OOO, ,OOU--- BAG
Bn1AnesrIng Feat

AS was recently stated in a cable dis.
patch. the plans for the construction OF
a ship canal between the Firth OF Forth
on the east of Scotland, across TO the
River Clyde, on the west, have been
definitely arranged. The canal will cost
$50, 900, 900, but powerful support is ex-
pected from the British government
One OF the great engineering features
OF the scheme will be the carrying of the
canal near the Loeb LomOnd end Ere
Quent passing places will be made.
An indication OF the saving in dis
tance that would be effected by the
canal, says an exchange, will be gained
from the following figures: From the
Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scot
land, northeast OF England, and north
west of Europe the distance saved
would be from 529 miles to 23S miles
From the Firth Of Forth to ports on the
west coast Of Scotland, northwest Of
England, Ireland, America and the Med
iterranean the distance saved would be
from 487 to 141 miles From Tyne
ports to the st. Lawrence river the dis
tance saved would be 150 miles. From
the west Of Britain and northeast
OF Ireland to middle western ports OF
the continent the distance saved would
be from 377 to 9S miles.

Engineer Was offered Fifty Dollars
. Minute for Every Minute Gained
Over the Schedule.

There is a little story connected with
the recordbreaking run Of the Lowe
special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to
Los Angeles. in less than SO hours,
which is not generally known.
1t Is related that Mr.. Lowe offered
the engineer who hauled the train from
San Bernardino to Los Angeles-on the
home-stretch of so miles-the sum Of
$50 minute for every minute gained
over the schedule. Engineer Warboy
turned the wheels at 50-second clip for
each mile to Pasadena. but had to slow
down in the suburbs OF Los Angeles. He
pulled into La Grande station, Los An
geles, just 81 minutes after leaving San
Bernardino gaining nine minutes on the
whirlwind schedule and thereby earn
ing $3.50 extra pin money.
The Santa Fe passenger department
will soon publish pamphlet giving full
details OF the swift fight Of the Lowe
special, which in several instances e1-
ceeded 80 miles an hour. An average OF
nearly 43 miles an hour was maintained,
in the face of having to cross four high
ranges Of the Rockies and with little
previous selection OF engines or crews.

TOWER TRAP FOR GUNNERS.
Device Common In Europe, But Prac-
tfcally Unknown i'm This COun-
tHy-Ditncu1t Shots.

The equipment of the Pinehurst Gun
club embraces an interesting feature
in the shape of tower trap. Such traps
are quite common in Europe, but prac-
tically unknown in this country, says
the New York Sun.
In the top of the tower are two tar
get traps. one at the right and one at
the left. The attendant is protected by
heavy plank partition which also hides
the traps from view. The traps are
pulled from the rear, In the usual man
ner.
Birds may be thrown in five ways.
right. left, unknown. overhead and
doubles. In all of these events, with
the exception of the overhead birds,
the shooter faces the tower at the usual
distance. In the overhead shooting he
stands back to the tower and directly
underneath it. The sport furnished is
novel as compared with the usual trap
shooting
The idea is to produce conditions such
as those the sportsman experiences in
wild waterfowl, pigeon or other shoot
Ing or in shooting birds which fly from
trees. Known angles to the right and
left are not difficult and many gunners
have knack for killing overhead birds,
but unknown angles puzzle the experts.
and doubles, two birds shooting off in
opposite directions and at the same
time. call for a skill and quickness that
few possess. But doubles are not i'm
possible, and the shooting is wonderful
