THE CANAL

head the new Panama canal commits
president to supervise the construction
Of the waterway, has given much study
to the isthmiAn canal problem and is
probably more familiar with the sub
ject than any other man in America.
He was appointed chairman Of the
isthmian canal commission in 1897 by
President Mckinley and made a report
favoring the Nicaragua route. When
congress, in 1899, authorized another
commission President Mckinley again
appointed Rear Admiral Walker chair
man. and second time he reported in
favor Of the Nicaragua route. Then
came the offer Of the French company
to sell all its work. holdings and rights
for $4O,OOO,OOO, which resulted in the
passage Of the Spooner act providing
for further report from the same
commission under changed conditions.
Rear Admiral Walker then submitted
report in favor Of the Panama route
He believed that Uncle Sam would get
about $2OO,OOO,OOO worth OF work for
one-flfth Of that sum-
In his naval career Admiral Walker
got an early baptism OF fire under the
fighting admirals Of the old school,
and up to the time Of his retirement
in 1897 he was regarded as the best
tactician and drill master with modern
steel ships. He is of Scotch-Ir Irish de-
scent and was born in New Hampshire
in 1886. On the death Of his mother
young Walker went to live with his
uncle, Governor Grimes Of Iowa. He
was appointed midshipman in the

This slump or depression in the con-
crete Of the man-hole will slightly re-

first sight might seem to be Of some
consequence but the defect is not
such as will cause any trouble.
Alinement
This feature is of less Importance
than gradients. Our attention, how
ever, had been called to possible i'm
projections in this respect A critical
test OF alinement and grade is the
ability to see light from a n-hole.
or from man-hole to nearest lamp
hole On trial we observed lights as
indicated in sections criticised, with
the one exception of the * line,
where the combined effect of deviation
in alinement and grade weer sufficient
to ender a light visible. At our re-
quest the pipe-sewer was opened
about the middle OF the section and
further examination showed that the
line was clear The deviation from
true gradient was less than two inches
in a distance OF 344 feet Willie the de-
Walton from a straight line was about
four inches in the same distance. The
grade in this section was over two
feet in 100, which Is more than suffi-
Gent for the successful operation OF
the sewer.
Furthermore, the laying Of the pipe

afforded us an excellent opportunity

final REPORT OF SEWER
EXPERTS WAS SUBMITTED
1t Says that the Normal Hill Sewer is Up to
the Standard of Sewers in
Other Cities

The following is the expert report
of Engineers Roberts and Miller on
the Normal Hill sewer system as sub
mitted to the city council last night.
Lewiston, Idaho, March %, 1904.
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen: In complying with
your request for a report upon the
condition of the Normal Hill sewer
system. we have examined the char
tors. Messrs. Naylor and Norlin, and
have the plans and specifications I'M
der which the work was performed.
and herewith submit to you the fol-
lowing report:
We found the system, az a whole.
well up to the standard of similar
work in other cities of this class,
where minor defects appear they are
not such as will impair the efficiency
of the system and by far the greater
portion of the work has been done
thoroughly. and is in first-c class con-
dition. We find that the work has
been carried out according to the stip-
ulations of the contract with the few
exceptions hereinafter noted. We dis
cussed every phase of the contract of
which the plans and specifications are
part. and made our examination as
thorough as possible.
The most important engineering
feature in any sewerage system is the
establishment OF gradients that will
give such elocities as to render the
sewers self-cleaning. The --LATEST
grades we found in this system were
five feet per thousand tO.5) for the
s-inch lines and rs feet per thousand
tO.25) for the l4-inch line in one por-
ton. In both cases the velocity will
exceed 2.5 feet per second, and It salts
factory. Two authorities we quote

tenn Of Sewerage" gives this table for

resented to us to be faulty in grade.
This we examined with level and
found the grade 2.5 feet per thousand,
