American Engineer Also Raises tn
Grade In CITY of Galveston.

American Engineer Also Raises the
Grade in City of Galveston.
In all ages political leaders have had
II in their power to elevate or degrade
provinces and nations, but to man
who made no pretenses of either politi-
e;tl or military leadership belongs the
credit of improving the condition OF
whole provinces in country whose
language he did not know. The task
was accomplished by an American en-
ginee who, in 1897, was sent for by
the Russian minister of ways and COM
munications and commissioned to
study the question of deepening the
Volga river.
Upon completing his work he OBJ
served that on account of the alluvial
deposits at the mouth of the rivers
emptying into the Black sea the chan
nei was so choked that for generations
| it had been necessary for the vessels
carrying grain toward the sea to trans
fer it at the mouth, where lighters took
it to the ships on the Black sea. AS
result the profits of the producer were
eaten up by the cost of the double
| transfer at the mouths of the rivers.
The work of Mr.. Bates the engineer,
in deepening the mouths of the rivers
obviated the necessary for this econom-
ic waste and made the difference be-
| tween poverty and prosperity for mill
lions of Russians.
Another Of Mr.. Bates great engi-
neering feats described by French
Strother in "The Worlds Works" is
that of raising the grade of the city Of
Galveston. The location Of that city
on a low island in the gulf placed it
at the mercy Of the fierce storms
which rage along the coast and after
the disaster of 1900 it was determined
to raise the surface of the city above
the danger level The average depth
of the fill called for In the contract is
seven and one-half feet, although In
some places the new elevation is sew
enteen and One-half feet greater than
the old. This involves the dredging of
more than 100000 yards of sand
and distributing 1t over an area OF
about two square miles.
This amount of material is of suffi'
Client volume to build FIVE pyramids
each of the size of Cheops. the largest
in Egypt, and when it is completed
2,15G dwellings will have been raised
to the new level and set on new found
ations and all the sewers, gas pipes
water pipes and electric conduits viii
be elevated accordingly. The method
employed is to pump sand from the
outer side of the sea wall and dis
charge the mixture of sand and water
through pipes to the parts of the city
TO be raised, where the water drains
off and leaves the sand.

Women Pushing the Men Aside.

The Savannah News calls attention
to the fact OF the remarkable manner
in which the women are pushing the
men aside in nearly all the avenues of
trade. Women are found steadier
than men, are more reliable. more dill
igent and more painstaking. Women.
as we have remarked several times be-
fore, do not smoke cigarettes, they do
not drink beer and red liquor. do not
paint the town red and waste their
time in riotous living.
Here is what the staid and most
conservative Savannah News says:
Are women to be the bank clerks of
the near future? This is the opinion
of Mr.. Frank A .Vanderlip. vice presi-
dent of the National City Bank of
New York and formerly assistant sec
rotary Of the treasury. He says that
women have clearly and conclusively
demonstrated their capacity for cleri-
cal and routine iwork in business Of
fees. and that year after year larger
numbers of them are being employed
in banks in places formerly occupied
by men. In the course of few years,
he predicts, most of the banks will
have women clerks and men only at
the heads of departments. 1t requires
no great deal OF examination to as
certain that women are constantly en-
tering more largely into the CONNER
cial and financial affairs of the coun-
try. Twenty-Five years ago it was a
rare thing to see woman in a bust
ness office; now there are few business
offices in which one or more of them
will not be found

Politics Make Strange sedfelIows.

Senator Carmack, of Tennessee.
has returned to Washington, from his
campaign against Gov. Bob Taylor for
election as United States senator His
return at this time was brought about
mainly by Senator Tillman of South
Carolina who has charge of the rail-
road rate bill. Both OF these senators
are in accord with the bill now before
the senate on that subject, known as
the Hepburn bill, and which has the
support of the president 1t is in
deed novel fact that the two sena-
tors, who have been Mr.. Roosevelt's
severest critics. should be the lead
Ing champions Of his favorite measure.

bed fellows.
