CHIEF ENGINEER STEVENS DEVICE
SAVES MILLIONS ON BIG CANAL
PLANS A MOVABLE TREsTLE
WHICH WILL FILL SWAMPS
AND SAVE TIME AND MONEY
-HARDsHIPs OF WET SEASON.
BY Victor NJ. Hughes.
Special Correspondence.

special correspondence.
Panama, Isthmus Of Panama. Oct.
15.-The ingenuity of Chief Engineer
Stevens and his corps has blossotned
again and brought forth the movable
trestel dump. designed to dispose of
excavated material near the base of
operations and to save the nation
millions.
Originally it was believed that all
earth would have to be carried by
train to the seaboards, mammoth
lighters there to serve as deep sea
dumps. AS the isthmus is AZ miles
wide this would have resulted in the
workings of large number of trains
and men. All the big work must be
done at Bas Obispo and Culebra, both
far from either coast.
With the movable trestle, plans of
which have been perfected, dumps
Will be built in connection with each
steam shovel and trains will carry the
dirt to nearby swamp lands, any place
with depression of twenty feet be-
ing available. There are innumer-
able swamps. Automatic devices will
clear the cars in a twinkle.
Double tracks have been construct
ed and loaded trains will go to the
dump on one track and return empty
on the other. A ninety five-ton steam
shovel, whose dipper excavates six
cubic yards with each upward thrust
of the boom, is capable of loading the
average freight car in " minutes.
The opening of the dry season in
December will see the "dirt fly" as
his men have worked through the wet
season against heavy odds. For sew
en- months it has rained practically
every day. 1t will rain every day for
two more. And rain here is the kind
one might expect if someone were to
slit the bottom of a lake.
Today sees the laying of a section
of track. Tomorrow it's washing out
SO enormous has been the down
pour at times as to make rivers of
the right -ofway sending raging tor
rents down the cut to tear up track,
upset shovel and carry away fill. Re-
pairs were likely to be interrupted in
like manner many times before the
| track could be gotten into train bear
| ing condition.
II was hard work, and it took the
heart out of many good engineer
| and track man. But the big chief
never faltered. When the situation
had reached the limit of evaporation
came the word from Cnlebra hill the
home of Stevens and blue prints:
Up and at 'em again, boys"
| There was new life in the message.
| Down the line it passed, stirring even
the indifferent Jamaican, and the fight
then renewed never tagged to the
end. The solid roadbeds, through
the very heart of the swamps, shows
how well the fight was fought. Tracks
well laid, steam shovels in position,
dumps ready, trains made up and well
manned, with drainage system and
every other weapon known to man
ready to hand for the battle with ma
ture's unruly elements-one is able
now to see to what purpose were
spent these years of preparation.

JEWISH LIFE ON FARMS
IN THE UNITED STATES

New York, Oct. 15.--An exhibition
of Jewish life on farms and in the
smaller cities in the United States,
arranged for by the Baron de Hirsch
fund, the Jewish Agricultural and In
dustrial Society and Jewish Educa-
tional Alliance was held in the Al
lance building yesterday and today.
The exhibition was held on the roof OF
the building and in the exhibition
room, where the products of farms
operated by about fourteen hundred
Jews in sixteen states we're on view.
Stereopticion views showed the diff
ference between the dark and crowded
rooms in the tenement district of
New York and on the farms with a
view to induce the Jews to leave the
crowded sections of the cities as these
pioneer Jews have done to the great
improvement of their lives and con.
