somewhere between 800 and 1000.
Twenty-seven teachers, all feeling in
the best of spirits after three months

places at school room desks this morn
ing to look after the rising generation
of this community during the coming
nine months
superintendent Bodwell was en-
thusiastic in his hope for a good school
year, and all of the teachers in the
city seemed to share his confidence
that the coming year will be one of
the best that has ever been known in
Norfoll's public school system.
During the summer that has just
past, the Norfolk school boys and
girls have enjoyed varied forms of va
cation and fun. Many of them have
spent portion Of their time in camp
ing beside some cool spring, some of
them have been away for several
weeks visiting uncles and aunts and
grandfathers and grandmothers, some
have spent the time at work and in
learning something about this business
or that, while others have just stayed
at home to play baseball and fly kites

CULEBRA CUT A WONDER
Greatest Furrow in the Earth's
surface Ever Made by Human
Industry.


The huge excavation for the Panama
canal across the Culebra divide will be by
far the greatest furrow in the earth's sur
face ever made by human agency. 1t is so
large that the mind fails to grasp its real
magnitude, and IL can only be appreciated
by comparison with some familiar object
A question OF considerable interest recently
raised by a correspondent relates to the
largest existing artificial excavation which
is ut all comparable with the Culebra cut,
Great amounts of excavation were done of
course on such works as the North Sea
canal, the Manchester canal and the Suez
canal; but all these were built through
comparatively level country.
So far we are able to find, the only
deep cut at all comparable with that to
be made through the Culebra divide is the
great Nochistongo cut through the hills
which surround the valley of Mexico. This
huge excavation was begun in 1910 for the
purpose of affording an outlet to the flood
waters which had inundated the City of
Mexico and destroyed a great part of the
city and its inhabitants. For more than
40 years labor on this great wsrk was the
chief task of the Mexican nation, and II
was not until the year 1888 that it was
/ finally completed. The total length of tht
4 Nochstongo cut is twelve and half miles
Its greatest depth is 1877 feet and its great
est width 36l feet The total amount OF
material excavated was about 54,O0O 90
cubic yards In comparison with this th'
cut at Culebra will have a considerably
! greater maximum depth and width, ever

summit level. The total cube of excava
ton at the Culebra divide was estimated
by Mr.. John +. Wallace as lS5O0O,O00 cubi'
yards for the sea level canal and III, 90
cubic yards for q canal with a sixty-foo
summit level.

LONG ON COURT
Of REVIEW,

Washington April 3.-Senator
Long of Kanss made a set speech
in the senate today on the court
review amendment to the rate bill
drawn up in a conference of sena-
tors with President Roosevelt.
He read from supreme court
decisions showing that the Com
merce. Commission had the same
right to regulaEe Interstate rates
that the state railway commissions
had as to domestic rates. If the
states, he argued, could thus fix
rates congress had equal power.
He cited supreme court decisions
to show the extent of court inter
ference with law made rates were
limited to questions wherever the
commissions making them had
acted with the authority of law
creating it, and whether the con-
stitutional rights of the carrier
had been invaded by the commits
sion's order.
The supreme court had decided
that the court could not set aside
law-made rates, unless they were
SO unjust and unreasonable as to
amount to. taking poperty without
proper compensation. The rate
must yield fair returns''on the prop
erty employed in giving service.

fUSSING AMONG
THEMSELVES,

Pittsburg, Pa. April 3.-The
miners district convention here
was enlivened today by a struggle
between the forces of deposed
President Dolan and the new
President Feehan. The conven-
ton was split into two factions.
The Feehan faction adopted res
loutions to institute legal action
against Dolan, and to call in the
police to GUST him.
Dolan refused to be expelled,
and the table was dragged from
beneath his gavel. The struggle
was fast and furious, and after
two hours of it, Dolan was finally
forcibly elected from the hall.
