FIGURES COST
OF The CANAL
Wallace, the Chief Engineer,
Finds That Sea Level Is
Most Expensive Project
FOUR PLANS POSSIBLE
Estimates Call for Between
Two Hundred and Three
Hundred Million Dollars

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-John F.
Wallace, chief engineer of the lsthmian
Canal, has given the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
the benefit of his Investigations so far
made regarding the engineering tasks
to be performed in the construction OF
the big ditch. Wallace made this ex-
planation OF the general problem:
To determine the most feasible plan for the
construction of the canal will require most
careful and comprehensive examination, not
only OF surface conditions, but the sub-sur1ace
must be explored.
After following the valley of the Chagres
to Gamboa, the line of the canal follows
tributary called the Obispo up the summit OF
Culebra. and thence follows the valley OF the
Rio Grande into the Bay of Panama. The sum-
nit at Culebra was originally about three hun
point in the divide along the entire length of
the lsthmus Of Panama. The plan OF the
former commission provided for dam OF prac-
tcally 100 feet in height above sea lever, at
Bahls. with water level Of ninety feet above
sea level. This place selected on account
OF the fact that at that point the hills on
either side of the Chagres come comparatively
close together. being about fifteen hundred feet
apart, and from the surface indications IT
seemed a favorable place for the construction
of dam. But the indications are that this
locality would be an unfavorable and expensive
one Tor the construction Of high dam.
The first plan TO be considered the one es-
umated upon by the former commission, is the
possibility and probability OF a high dam or
PiOPei touhuddoh LOT hlsn udin a. L'dhia'
upon which depends the advisability of CON
structing high level canal, with the surface
OF the water ninety feet above sea level.
The second plan under consideration is a
summit level of sixty feet above sea level
Constructing a canal on this plan admits of
two different methods of treatment: First. the
construction OF a dam sixty feet above sea
level at Bahia with two locks Of thirty feet,
there being two locks on the western slope;
second, the construction of a dam sixty feet
above sea level at Gatun. eight miles from
Colon, with two thirty-foot locks in the same
vicinity: The adoption OF a sixty-foot level
also VIII render il necessary to construct A
dam al Gamboa, in order 10 provide reservoir
to accumulate water enough during the wet
season to furnish water for the summit level
of the canal

rel. Trouble between the teacher and

On March 8. Professor w, A. Iden,
the teacher of the Tangent public school,

she was guilty of misconduct, insub-
ordination and open rebellion to the
rules of the school and that the welfare
OF the school demanded her expulsion.

An attempt was then made by citizens
who had become interested in the af-
fair, to effect compromise In the un-
fortunate situation. Accordingly theI
board met and agreed that Miss Tis-
dale could be reinstated upon apologize
ing either to the board of directors
or to the teacher.
Mr.. Tisdale was not satisfied with
this decision, so the board OF directors
finally decided that they would hold a
private investigation and inquire into
all the details and circumstances at

the ores of the Sumpter district for
smelling and the quantity that could
be supplied. His report shows vast
quantities of smelling ore and he will
recommend a purchasing fund Of from
100000 to $4,000. This will give the
company sufficient capital to buy all
classes Of ore offered, and will insure
The steady working Of the plant, which
will mean much for the mines of

FALL FROM CART KILLED CHILD.
Seven-Months-oId Son Of Ralph Gala
way Meets Death.

Rome. Ca, Jan. 29.-Nolan Wood
ruff Galloway, the 7-month. old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Galloway, was in
stantly killed this morning in mos!
peculiar manner.
The child was sleeping in a go-cart
when his mother was called to- anoth-
er part of the house. Thinking that
it was perfectly safe to leave her child
for few moments Mrss. Galloway
went to the next room in answer to
the summons. She was gone about
ten minutes, but when she returned
her pretty chubby laughing baby was
corpse.
During her absence from the room,
the baby walked up, and in some man
ner, managed to turn the go-cart over.
The fall must have been a terrible one
for when the child's mother picked
him up the last spark Of life had fut-
tered from his little body.
Investigation by hastily summoned
physicians showed that the baby had
broken his neck in the fall and death
was instantaneous.
