DEEPENING or THE CHANNEL

Boat Removes the Rock Bottom
Work Five Years.

A charge of about 100 pounds of dy-
Mantle yesterday afternoon at 4:45 re-
moved the portion of the Golfer dam
projecting from the shore to the main
dam near the street car bridge over
Sylvan slough r. b. Davis has had a
big force of men at work within the
dam for months, deepening the chan
mel, and that now being completed, the
work of removing the Golfers and low
ering the rock on which the dam was
constructed remains. When the charge
was shot yesterday afternoon the
boards, timbers, sand, and water rose
to considerable height, and shower
of debris fell within radius of over
a block. The water at the dam was
forced back by the explosion, but in a
few seconds returned with a rush, and
covered the enclosed area. The cross
section of the dam was is feet in
height and nearly that width.
Dredge in Spring.
The remainder of the Golfer work
will be dredged out in the spring, and
the drill boat will be used to remove
the rock bottom on which the dam was
placed. This is now nearly four feet
above the level of the space within the
dam.
The Golfer is constructed of heavy
frame work of timbers and planks, the
planks being so placed that they form
fairly close wall. The planking is
placed on each side of the timbers, and
chains are placed in the space between.
This structure forms one wall of the
dam. The space between the two walls
is filled with sand. The removal of the
water within the dam requires some
time, and when the great volume Oh
water is removed, pumps must be kept
in operation constantly to prevent the
spring water from flooding the work.
In Progress Five Years.
There still remains the portion of
the dam which is placed parallel with
the shores, forming the center of the
two sections The work of deepening
the channel, which has been in pro-
gress for about five years, is now prac-
tically completed, the removal of the
dams and the lowering of the rock on
which they stood being all that re-
mains. The channel was deepened
four feet below the low water mark
from the government dam 10 the wag-
on bridge. The channel is 500 feet in
width.

DEFEAT TURNER'S
AT BASKET BALL
Team Of Local Y. M. C. A. Runs Up
High Score or the Visitors in
New Years Game.

The Rock Island Y NJ. c. A. basket
ball team yesterday afternoon defeated
the Davenport Turner's in the exhibit
ton contest in connection with the
open house and reception of the asso-
citation. The score was 81 to 20 in
favor of the local team. The game.
notwithstanding the great difference in
the scores, was an interesting contest
throughout, the scores until late in the
second half being only a few points
apart. The first half ended with Rock
Island four points in the lead. Early
in the last half the Turner's, by hard
playing managed to bring their count
to within one point of the locals. 1t
stood this way for some minutes, when
Means, of the association team threw
number of field baskets in success
sion, finally bringing the Rock Island
score to 81.
In the game between the intermedi-
ateS and the sophomores, preceding
the main contest of the afternoon, the
Intermediates were the victors by a
score of So to II.
A Bergston of Rock Island acted as
referee OF the games, and Mr. Malhu of
Davenport as umpire of the contests.
Both games were witnessed by large
crowds.
The association through the day en-
tertained a large number of guests,
the largest attendance being in the
evening. Interesting musical programs
were given both afternoon and even
ing, and following the programs the
magazine sale was held.

A Sea-IeveI Canal.

The expert engineers that make up
the advisory body of the Panama canal
commission have decided in favor of
a sea-level canal. This will greatly in.
crease the cost and mean a longer per-
iod of construction, but its advantages
will be just so much greater. In med
icine, it has long since been decided
that for curing ailments peculiar to a
disordered stomach, liver or kidneys,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stands
first, and to prove the wisdom of the
above decision it is only necessary to
point to the thousands of cures it has
made after other remedies failed. 1t
always cures poor appetite, belching,
fatulency, dyspepsia, indigestion, cos
tiveness, colds, grippe or female ills

for free copy of Hostetter's Almanac

it well worth having.
