President Roosevelt Is expected to
make a strong recommendation in his
coming annual message on the sub
ject Of lakes to the Gulf system"
of water routes. Such an undertaking
as at present mapped out would equal
In magnitude the construction of the
Panama canal. The cost Of the two
projects, it is estimated, would be
about the same. Advocates Of the in
land waterways assert that they would
be of infinitely greater benefit to the
United States than the canal, and that
without comprehensive system of
internal marine highways this nation
would be reaping only q fragment of
the great commercial prestige to
which the completion of the Panama
canal entities it.
Residents, officials and leaders of
thought In is states of the union are
already nightly interested In the in
land waterways agitation. A national
commission TO measure the benefits
OF the project is likely to be appointed
within short time. The recent trip
OF the president through the Missis-
sippi valley, eliminating in his ad-
dress before the Lakes to the Gull
Deep Waterways convention, is re-
garded through the central section Of
the country as committing the present
administration to the 14-foot channel
project The annual national Rivers
and Harbors congress that is held in
Washington just before the regular
fall session OF congress begins 10 re-
lied upon to keep public interest arous-
ed as to the necessity Of the under
taking.

Burned Hole Through Body.

Charlotte, N. c., October 3O.-A
horrible death occurred yesterday
morning near Bessemer City, N. c.,
to an employee of the Southern Pow
er Comp Of this city. An elec-
trio current burned hole about four
inches in diameter through his body,
about midway of the trunk and from
side to side. Death was instantane-
Gus.
When a doctor arrived he found
Templeton still clinging to two tele-
phone wires while the current was
still running through his body, burn
Ing great hole from side to side.
Mr.. Templeton was testing the pri-
vate telephone wire of the company,
the wires being strung along below
the great transmission wires, when
the deadly current struck him.
1t is supposed that one of the tele-
phone wires came in contact with
one or more Of the large transmits
sion wires of the Southern Power
Company, and that thus the current
was sent to the hand of Templeton.
