HAVE SEA
LEVEL CANAL.
Engineers of Panama Waterway
Reach Important Decision
Cost $250,0OO,0O0.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-After long
engineers of the isthmian canal com
mission. composed Of men eminent at
home and abroad in the engineering
field, have concluded its labors with n
decision IN favor Of the construction of
a sea level canal across the isthmus of
Panama. The boards conclusions have
been formulated for presentation to
President Roosevelt.
Some of the American members ia
vor n lock and dam canal on the
ground that the saving in time of con
struction made this project more de-
sirable, but it has been evident even
since the return of the board of con
sulting engineers from Panama that a
majority of members were impressed
with the fact that the permanent ad-
vantages of Il sea level canal greatly
outweigh the advantage in time which
would come from the construction of n
lock and dam waterway.
1t is understood that the plan adopt
cd by the commission and which Will
be recommended to IreSluent ltoose-
welt for approval provides for a sea
level canal to be constructed i'll fifteen
years at an estimated cost of S2oO,OO0,-
900. The depth is said to have been
fixed ut forty-five feet. with a width
of 100 to 200 feet on the bottom. 1t
will be necessary to construct q set of
two locks at the Pacific end of the
canal for the purpose of controlling the
heavy tides which occur there, and a
dam will be required also at Bahia for
the purpose of controlling the Chagres
river.
1t is expected that ships will be able
to go through the canal under theil
own power. When two ships have tt
pass each other in the canal one will
have to stop and wait to allow free
navigable conditions for the individual
ships in the restricted space.

DISTILLERY BURNED.
Loss Of Overhoit Plant at Broad
ford 81, OOO.O 900.

CONNELLSNILLE, Pa, Nov. 20.-
At the 4. Ovcrholt distillery at Broad
ford $4,000 gallons of whisky furnish
ed a spectacular fire, entailing a loss
of $4,000, 900. The main bonded ware
house was burned to the ground. A
steady northeast wind. which blew the
flames toward the Youghiogheny river,
saved the town of Bradford, the build
ings of the III. c. Frick Coke company
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
station from destruction.
Smoke was first seen issuing from
the third story of the building, which
was alongside the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks. Joseph Mcdonald and George
Patckin, employees of the company,
climbed up the fire escape and opened
one of the small iron doors. They
were caught in Il suffocating cloud of
smoke, which suffocated them, and
they dropped unconscious on the fire
escape. They were rescued by other
workmen, and Il general alarm was
sounded. The blue tinged flames from
the burning alcohol were soon shooting
more than 100 feet into the air. AS
barrels of old rye whisky on each Of
the four floors burst the blazing liquid
was splashcd in all directions.
The main track of the railroad was
kept clear of debris, and passenger
trains shot past at such speed as to
avoid damage from the intense heat.
Calls for help were sent to Connells-
vile, Uniontown and McKeesport.
Broadford is but two miles from here.
and the Connellsville fire department,
on a special train, reached the scene
quickly. The men by hard work man
aged to save the buildings near by. The
ruined building and its contents burned
fiercely until after midnight. but the
structures surrounding it had been so
thoroughly soaked with water that no
further losses occurred. 1t is supposed
that the fire started either from spon-
taneous combustion or from Il spark
from u passing locomotive blown down
one of the airshafts.

IRRIGATION CONTRACT LET.
Ex-Gov. Orman of Colorado Is Member
of Firm That Gets Bio Job.


Contracts involving more than ST.
100000 have been made for the large
irrigation reservoir and work on the
canal near Belle Fourche. Actual la
Dor will begin within a month. The
contract was awarded to the firm of
Orman & Crook, the senior member of
which is ex-governor of Colorado, and
the amount of their bid was 81 ,01S, 900.
This reservoir which will be built
will be twelve miles wide and suffi-
cient to receive the water supply that
Will furnish the entire section around
Belle Fourche for the season after the
rain ceases. The canal, which is to be
seventeen and One-half miles in length.
will be built along Owl creek and will
distribute this water from the reser-
voir Owe the country adjacent to Belle
Fourche. The reservoir itself will
bold the water of the Belle Fourche
an dadjacent creeks and streams. It's
capacity cannot be estimated at pres
ent. Its highest point is lis feet from
the ground.
The contractors are allowed four
years in which to complete the work,
n former Gov. Orman stated that
work would commence within a month
and be pushed as rapidly as the wealth

SQUIRRELS FOUND USEFUL.
Gathering Of Pine Cones Saves Their,
From determination.


The Black Hills forest reserve, the
most important of all reserves in the
country, is conducting a line of exper.
iments that is resulting in establishing
a unique industry.
It is Capt. Bullock's plan to smooth
over every burnt spot in the reserve
by seeding broadcast in the spring
with pine cones. This experiment was
tried on thirty acres of ground last
spring and yielded cry good results,
the thirty acres producing one pine
Seeding to each square foot. This was
encouraging to the forestry depart.
ment. which at once decided to push
the work.
Capt. Bullock has a large army OF
helpers composed of the small boys OF
the Black Hills. They are gathering
pine cones, for which they are paid by
the forestry department 25 cents a
bushel. Under them is still a larger
army, that of the red squirrels. The
squirrels are the greatest cone gather.
ers in the country and so valuable are
they now that the bounty which has
been offered by the forestry depart
ment for their pelts has ceased, and
instead. these little animals are gath
ering n for the boys. who. in turn,
gather them for the department.
The boys have already gathered
some 1000 bushels, which will make
about 1900 pounds of seed. They are
not allowed to pick them, but gather
them from the ground or from the
squirrels dens. AS high as nine bush
els of II have been found in one
den, and several Of the holes of these
little forest rangers have yielded at
least six bushels.

THE HILLS EXTENSION.
Northwestern Surveyors at Work 80
Miles Up Bad River.

The railroad situation is moving
are now about thirty miles up Bad riv-
err in the location of the main line. The
sidetrack work is practically done at
Pierre, the track being laid down to
the water edge at the point where the
temporary bridge is to be constructed.
This temporary bridge will not be a
pOntoon but a straight pile bridge, and
will not be put in until the ice stops
navigation. If it stands the pressure
of the ice going out next year a draw
may be put in and the bridge be left
for operation during the summer, but
it is the intention of the company to
put in extensive yards on the west side
of the river and cross about all the
material which they will need for the
extension from this end while the
bridge is in for the winter.
The location of the permanent bridge
has been fixed at a point near the stock
yards, at the upper end of the city,
and work will be commenced on it as
soon as the plans are permanently ap-
proved by the government. The bridge
Is to be a "low" one with a draw. Maj.
~Chittenden of the government service,
while in Pierre, had a conference with
the railroad men in regard to this
work. He stated that while the plans
had not all been approved in detail,
they generally met the requirements
OF the government and were satisfac-
tory so far as the government is con-
cerned.
A high official of the road, in Chi
cagO, announced a few days ago that
the road would be in operation from
Pierre to Rapid City within a year
from the present time.
While the location of the new depot
has not been announced, it is a prac-
teal certainty that when it is con-
structed it will be north of the pres
ent location about a block on a new
track which will be constructed on
what is known as the second bench"
back from the river.
Large piles G ties and rails are be-
ing piled up in the storage yards on
this side Of the river, and materials
for the bridges, both permanent and
temporary, are now on their way to
Pierre to begin the construction on
both of them.
