CELLO CANAL UNDER WAY.
Upper Basin and Lock Will BE
Constructed First.

Actual construction work has now be-
gun on the Government Cello Canal.
and Captain A. A. Fries. of the United
States Engineer Corps, who returned
from Cello Yesterday. reports the COM
mencement satisfactory IN every way.
During the past week the contractors,
Smyth & Jones, have had a force of rs
men on the ground, with two steam
drills in operation. The body of labor
ers will be increased steadily from now
on, however, and within the next month
there will be several hundred men en-
ployed. The contract under which the
present work is being done provides for
the upper entrance OF the canal, includ-
ing one lock and basin. the latter to
be 1000 feet in length and varying in
width from rs to $50 feet on the bottom.
This basin will be constructed in the
bend of the river Immediately below
Tatfes' cannery, and will connect the
actual river entrance to the canal and
the upper lock.
The first work OF the contractors will
be the construction OF this basin, where
the building of walls is necessary. In
some places the solid rock river bank
will form part OF the shore wall and the
present operations consist in the cutting
off of several jutting pents and the ex-
csvation OF the river bed. Within a
week force of men will begin tlasting
for the first lock, which will be built in
solid rock. The rock taken from there,
together with the gravel from the river
bed excavation will 60 into the concrete
work OF the basin.
1t is expected by the contractors that
everything will be in readiness to begin
the concrete work within ten days,
when the foundations for the basin
walls will be laid.
The work of clearing out Three-Mile
Rapids, the lower approach to the canal
s progressing favorably, and should be
by March l. Four steam
Hills and dredCe are being employed
II the removal OF distractions in the
,hannel.

Two Prisoners Dig Hole
Through Stone Wall
OFFICERS HAVE NO CLEW
Wife Beater Escaped same Way
once Before From the
Jail.

Fred Fehrmsn and Fred Creighton
inmates of the county jail. broke on
last Tuesday night and are still a
large.
Fehrman, who is being held for wifi,
beating, made his escape some time ago
by digging hole in the stone wall o
the Jail. He was captured the same
day that he got away and was agair
placed in the county Jail by Sheriff
Shut.
Fearing that he would escape again,
be was placed in the steel cell of the
jail. Creighton, who is q new arrival
on the charge of burglary, was put in
the cell with him.
Wednesday night the cell door was
left unlocked by Deputy Sheriff Hill
and the prisoners were lett at liberty in
the main building of the Jail. From
the big hole bored through on the
south side of the Jail. it is evident that
the two men were quite busy for awhile
The attack on the wall WAS made near
the ceiling where there is window.
After few stones were l,osened the
wall offered little resistance and large
hole was made, the men working on
top of the steel cage.
Wm. Ayers, ths court house ianitor,
first discovered the absence of the
prisoners Wednesday morning when he
went to work. The sheriff was immed.
ately notified and has since been
searching for the fugitives.
As yet there is no clew as to the
rhereabouts of the men.

New Years In Roumania.

On New Years day the children Of
the Wallachs and the Transdanubian
Roumanians take olive branches and &c
from house to house to compliment the
neighbors with their good wishes,
which are not altogether disinterested.
as they expect to receive in return
some little present. On the second day
of the year every stranger entering a
house is required to throw on the fire
small quantities Of salt, which are
placed in cups on the table for that
purpose. He must then go to the hen
house and place an egg in the nest for
the hen to sit upon. II the hen consents
to perform her duty the guest is con-
sidered fortunate person and is feted
In that house until evening. This Gus
tom Is called 1.-THE lucky foot."-New
