CANAL DEFECTS
ARE DISCUSSED
BY OFFICIALS
Panama and Suez Chan
nelS Compared in
Army and Navy
Circles.

Considerable comment has been caused
In naval circles and among Government
officials generally over the article in
The Times Sunday in which naval offi-
GERS were quoted as pointing out the
possibility that the locks Of the Panama
canal when that international water
way Is completed six or eight years
hence, may prove too narrow 10 allow
the passage OF the argest ships that
may be constructed by that time.
Serious EITor.
It was declared by a naval officer to-
day that Il was a grievous error for the
Panama Canal to ne constructed at an
alleged less width than the SucZ. The
locks should be at least as wide as the
Suez( II is said, 10 make IL possible for
American battleships TO pass through
the isthmus 10 return by the Suez. This
situation would also apply To transpor-
tLtion companies. particularly in case a
world circuit should be established, as
has been talked OF by the North German
Lloyd pecpis-
The Suez canal will admit Of a ship
with a beam OF l06 feet at the bottom.
The width of the SueZ varies from lyS.28
10 1871 feet while the six locks Of the
Panama canal are each To be 100 feet IN
width The minimum low water CepLA
OF the Suez is only 32S whereas the
minimum of depth in the Panama canal
viii be 10 feet. Consequently, while the
locks OF the Panama canal are not as
wide as the SUez this waterway Will
admit Of tie passage of deeper draugnt
vessels
Work is already under way on the
Suez 10 Increase the minimum depth to
S44 at low water, and reports just re-
Ceived by this Government show THAI
& depth OF S2.S feet already had been
attained up 10 July in many parts OF
the canal
Narrower Than SUez.
The Suez Canal is I04 miles in length,
while 1t viii be but fifty miles from
ocean to ocean through the isthmus
The question Of the width OF the locks
il anticipation OF bigger ships was
seriously considered by Chief Engineer
Stevens more than year ago.
At that time the authorized minimum
width OF the locks Was nineIy-fiVe feet
and the length 90 feet. The rapid strides
il the building Of WaTships OF greater
length. depth. and draught convinced
Mr.. Stevens that the locks should be
increased in size. AS the result Of q
strong appeal he made 10 the President

and 1909 feet in length.

REID PUTS kIBOSH

ON FAKE STORIES.
The Journal has no wish to appear
as an apologist for the lessee Of the
p~enitentiary, but we incline to the be-
lief that the charges published in the
Laramie and Cheyenne papers on the
story of an ex-turnkey are unfounded,
says Will Reid, editor of the Rawlins
Journal. We have visited the pen on
a number of occasions and have always
found everything in a neat and tidy
condition. We have not talked with
the prisoners, but have dropped in I'M
expectedly at meal time and at other
times Of the day, n We found that
the men appeared as cheerful as men
could be expected to be in their condi-
ton. There may be, and probably are,
many things about the broom factory
contracts that could well be investigat-
ed, but the character of food supplied
to the prisoners is as good as many a
family has.

four days Of the present month not
less than two feet of snow fell on

PIPE LINE
ON DESERT
UNION PACIFIC ATTEMPTING TO
SOLVE WATER PROBLEM ON
THE ALkALI BELT.
To Force Water from Rawlins to Green
River for Use Of Engines on That
Section Of Wyoming Division
Highest Point to Be Five Hun
dred and T~hirty-three Feet.

Union Pacific engineers are prepar
ing plans for pipe lines which will
span the Red desert, lying between
Rawlins and Green River, and a sec
ton of what is known to transconti
mental American railroads as the al
kali belt" This alkali country ex
tends from the Canadian to the Mexi
can borders, and every railroad cross,
ing 1t has spent hundreds of thousands
OF dollars in attempts to solve the
question of making the water found
there fit for engine use. The Union
Pacific for many years used the desert
water in locomotive boilers, with the
result that the boilers were entirely I'M
fitted for use in less than eight months.
So-called purifying plants, in which
the water was put through a process
calculated to remove the alkali, were
then erected, but they made only a
slight improvement in the situation.
During the last two years the Union
Pacific, at a ruinous expense, has been
hauling water into the desert in tank
cars.
Will Construct Pipe Lines.
1t is now proposed to construct pipe
lines, one of which will carry North
Platte river water as far as Upton sta
ton, and the other of which will car
ry Green river water as far as Table
Rock station, there being a distance
of six miles between the ends of the
two proposed pipes. The Union Pa
cif1c now has a pipe line from Fort
Steele, on the North Platte river, to
Rawlins, a distance of sixteen miles.
with a rise Of 239 feet.
High Point at creston.
1t is proposed to extend the line to
Upton, a distance of %fifty-seven miles,
with an altitude greater by 253 feet.
The highest point of the pipe line will
be at Creston, on top of the Continent
al divide, and 533 feet higher than the
S<Ah a. W. SlCSiS. Flohl SlColoh
to Upton, a distance of twenty-eight
miles, the water will flow without
pumping, Upton being %forty-one feet
lower than Creston.
Forced by Powerful Pumps.
The Union Pacific also had a pipe
line from Green River to Rock Springs,
a distance Of fifteen miles, with a diff
ference in elevation of 1873 feet, the
water being forced up from the Green
rivr by powerful pumps. The second
desert pipe will be IN extension of the
Rock Springs pipe, which will be car
ried eastward to Table Rock, a distance
of fifty-six miles, with an increase in
altitude Of SIS feet. The end OF the
pipe at Table Rock will be 1853 feet
higher than the intake at the Green
river.
