&eneral III. l.. Abbot Tells OF E-x.pn.
sity Of a Dam at AlhajueIa.
General II. 4. Abbot writing in the
Engineering Magazine for February
about the construction Of the Panama
canal. says:
No well informed person can fail to
recognize that the fnaI plan requires
time for the closest technical study but
1t is equally true that a large force can
De set at work at once without fear of
future changes In plan causing loss.
The excavations at the continental di.
vide can be pressed with energy. In
this connection it-may be stated that
experience has taught that the real
problem at the Culebra lies not so
much In the development Of the ex
IRENE efficiency of the dredging ma
chimes as In securing the utmost rapid
ity Of transporting the material to the
dumps which are mile or two away.
The necessary continual shifting of
tracks, often under heavy rainfall
causes frequent derailments. If the
steam engines the heaviest vehicles Of
the trainscould be replaced BY cleo
trio traction the practical gain would
be great The construction Of the dam
at Alhajuela would enable this to be
done. The surveys for the location Of
the branch railroad, ten miles in length.
and the plans for the masonry dam.
which offers no serious problem. are
completed and were turned over to the
commission, and large force could at
once be put to work.
Il any element Of the problem of the
best possible canal is settled it Is the
necessity for this dam. 1t Is needed
for the regulation of the foods and
freshets Of the Chagres and for the
storage OF the low water supply when
the canal Is in operation. and It would
be Of immense service Id controlling
rises Of the river during the construc-
ton of the Bohio dam and In supply
ing electrically transported power for
illumination and traction at the Guile
bra and elsewhere on the line. The
sooner this dam is completed the bet
ter for the progress of the canal con-
struction

A Statement from MIR. Moss.


The Dubois press agents in Black
foot and Boise have made super
human efforts to stir up a row In the
republican camp over the appoint
ment Of DIR. Hoover to the position
of superintendent of the insane asy-
lum at Blackfoot The dispatches
from those places during the past
week have contained all kinds of
falsehoods, such as saying that
Governor Gooding demanded of the
trustees that they remove Dr.. Givens,
that ''church influence was brought
to bear upon the trustees, that the
people Of Blackfoot, almost to a
man, we're bitterly opposed to the
change, etc. No one is better able
to deny these charges than A. B
Moss, chairman of the board of
trustees and we therefore quote his
statement of the case as given in an
interview with the editor of the
Pocatelfo Tribune and published in
that paper on June 2. 1t is as fol.
lows:..
Hon. A. B. Moss member of the
roard of Trustees of the Idaho Asylum
for the Insane at Blackfco', stopped over
today on his way home to Payette after
attending the meeting or the board. His
attention was called to the dispatches
sent out from Blackfoot last night in
regard to the appointment of Dr. Hoover
to succeed Superintendent Gvens at
the asylum. These dispatches carry the
inference TIVE Governor Gooding insist
ed on the change and that the board
made it reluctantly.
'.Such insinuation," said Mr.. Moss,
lis absolutely untrue. The board made
the change and made it on its own mo-
ton because it believed that such
change would be for the best interests
of the asylum and of the state. Cover
nor Gooding had nothing to do with
making the change and specifically told
the board that he wanted it to do what
it thought would he for the best inter-
ests of the institution. He did, howev-
81 err, urge the board to exercise the utmost
care in the selection of the new super
intendent, it it decided in favor of a
new man."
Mr.. Noes said that it did this and
while it had the highest regard for DR..
Giyens and felt that he had done as well
as any one could have done, 1t thought a
change would be for the best. There
were a number of applicants and the
board looked them all up and that it was
satisfi, d that DIR. I,oover would fill the
position with honor and credit. The
members of the medical fraternity with
one accord vouch for his professional
=. ability and his neighbors and business
associates all over Southeastern Idaho
are unanimous in their endorsement o.
his abilities rs business man and hi
standing as man and citizen. The
