TO compare Canal
With ESTIMATES
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE OF
CONGRESS WILL VISIT
THE ISTHMUS.
Suggested by Tawney of Minnesota
Trip, Which Will Start November
5, Is Expected to Result in Great
Benefit to the Service.

Washington, Aug. 26.-An examina-
alton on the ground of the estimates
for the appropriations for continuing
work on the Panama canal submitted
by Secretary Taft for the fiscal year
1909 is to be made by members of the
next congress who will have in charge
the preparation of the sundry civil
bill, in which the appropriation for
the canal is incorporated.
The proposed visit is the outcome
of a suggestion from Representative
James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, chair
man of the appropriations committee
in the last congress, who was at the
isthmus following the adjournment
last March. He believes it will be to
the interests Of the service, as well
as to those directly and indirectly in
charge of the administration of the
forces at work there, If the members
of the appropriations committee hav-
ing in charge the preparation of the
sundry civil bill go to the isthmus
with the estimates for the next fiscal
year and consider them carefully with
the officials having supervision of ex-
penditures for all kinds of work be-
ing done.
Likely to Do Much Good.
The suggestion has met with
hearty response from those identified
with the commissions work, who be-
lieve that great deal of good will
result from a heart to heart talk be-
tween the congressman who prepare
the appropriation and the officials
who spend it, and that it will clear
away in advance any misapprehen-
sions or misunderstanding that may
exist as to the business and propriety
of alloting the money estimated to be
necessary for the years work.
Of particular Importance is the pro-
posed visit regarded at the present
time when the question is now before
the president whether the commission
can lawfully expend during the pres
ent fiscal year any more money than
was specifically appropriated. Col.
Goethals has reported to the authori-
ties in Washington that the work has
progressed so rapidly that it will be in
the interest of true economy to exceed
that amount to the extent of $S,000,-
O00,, by reason of which he thinks a
years time will be saved in the COM
pletion of the great waterway.
Will Sail on November 5.
Officials here think congress, as
result of the observations of the mem
bers of the appropriations committee
who go to the isthmus, may see fit to
provide legislation under which work
may proceed regardless of the appro-
priations, if this authority does not
already exist. The committee will
leave New York November and re-
turn to Washington in time for the
opening of congress in December.
Maj. Hodges, purchasing agent of
the canal commission, whose head
quarters are in Washington, also ex-
poets to make trip to the isthmus
about the middle of September. His
trip will not be prolonged, however.

Our National Park Bill.

The committee appointed by
the Commercial Club last week
to push this matter, towit: Jas
per n. Haney, j. c. Hunt and A.
S. Rollins, have gone to work in
a way that should bring results.
Extra copies of last week 5 News,
four hundred copies of the Club
resolutions and as many circular
letters have been sent broad
cast, where it was thought they
would accomplish the most good,
asking attendance at the pro-
posed convention to be held here
on November 18th. Judge Hunt
says that he has written Senator
Bailey to come and that from a
conversation formerly had with
him, he rather expects him to be
present.
At any rate Canyon City,
through her Commercial Club, is
doing all she can and if others
equally interested in results do
half as well we may look for the
passage of the Park bill through
Congress at an early date.

A Submarine Kite.

A strange kite, devised by a Swed-
ish engineer, is made to fly under
water.
It is constructed of light canvas,
spread upon a strong but light metal
frame, and is made in two sections.
The lower and smaller section de-
ponds from the upper and is connect.
ed with it by kind Of coupling. The
mission of the apparatus is to warn
vessels of shoals or places where
there is an insufficient depth of water.
A small wire cable runs from the kite
to the vessels deck.
AS the ship sails along the kite
trails beneath or beside the craft at
such depth as will insure safety.
If at any time the bottom of the
kite touches ground device relieves
the coupling connecting it with the
upper part and the alarm bell is
sounded on deck.
The kite may then be drawn up.
readjusted and thrown overheard
again, to resume it's silent but useful
vigils.
