Very Spectacular.
Perhaps. one of the most spectacular
lighthouse achievements of the service
is the light on Tillmook Rock, Ore.
This apparently impossible feat was
accomplished under tremendous diff
culties.
Tillamook Rock is a small, abrupt
rock formation one mile from the
mainland. The sides are so precipit-
Gus and so inhospitable that even in
clam weather the landing is exceed
ingly dangerous, so that on the first
attempt TO put a working party on
the rock the foreman lost his life.
The party did not land and it was
difficult thereafter to get the skilled
labor necessary; but at last in 1879
nine men succeeded in landing with
provisions and tools. Building them
selves a strong shelter, bolted to the
rock, they set to work. Blasting had
to be done to get the foundation, sup,
plies and stone and tools and ap-
paratus had to be landed from ships,
involving much difficult engineering
and many hairbredth escapes, but af-
ter Is months of labor the structure
was completed

most dread of these are the Diamond

What a safeguard the wireless is

stated that wireless message brought
a relief ship to the Nantucket Shoals
ship just in time to rescue the crew,
last year, before the ship, storm
wrecked, went down beneath her men.

New Methods.
1t is of particular interest at this
time to know that the Diamond Shoals
lightship may soon be a thing of the
past. Early last spring the depart
ment of commerce and labor decided
finally on the exact location for a Dia-
mond Shoals lighthouse, which con-
gress has authorized Capt. Eels, OF
Maine, to build at hiS own expense.
Built, maintained and satisfactory
for five long years, Capt. Eels will re-
ceive $4,000 for the work. The
thing had been tried before, and only
failure resulted, the saw teeth of Hat
teras and the gales Of wind making a
plaything of the heaviest structure
ever towed out to form a foundation.
Capt. Eels has new plan, a new
patent, apparently unlimited conf
dence and sufficient capital. and work
is already going forward for the CON
struction of the caisson. When fin
ished the caisson and its contents will
weigh 10000 tons, concrete and iron,

WORK GOING On
At NUUANU DAM

Work on the Nuuanu dam is still 60
ing on in good shape and notwithstand-
ing the fact that Contractor White
house has no more to do with the
work, it is by no means at a stand
still. Nine men and a luna are sluicing
with the waite. which comes from the
Lulumahu ditch, which would other
wise go to waste.
A daily maximum of zoo yards of
material is being sluiced. which is
more than enough to pay for the cost
of the work. BY the time that the
new contract is in force there should
be good showing made. 1t may be
noteworthy that the famous How
land pump is not being used, but that
gratifying effects are being gained by
the use of the natural flow of water.

WANTS TO KNOW
SENATOR MecuMBER Is TRYING
TO FIND OUT If ROOSEVELT
~ WILL RUM 49,. :.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Senator McCumber of North Dako.
ia wants to carry home direct word
from President Roosevelt as to whe-
Their or not he will accept a unani-
mouse nomination for the presidency
next year.
! The senator thinks that 1T is only
fair to the, other candidates Taft,
Fairbanks, Cannon and Knox--to
have a sort Of family understanding
about such an important matter.
Mr.. McCumbers is persisten in ey-
serything he undertakes, and If he
can get an authorized statement
from President Roosevelt to the eff.
feet that If he is nominated by the
next republican national convention
that he will decline and absolutely
refuse to run, the mission of the
North Dakota senator to Washington
will have been worth while.
But it Is quite likely that he will
have to content himself with having
one OF the new battleships named
North Dakota. The fact that it is bat
tleship No. % does not produce any
superstition in the mind of Senator
McCumber. After leaving the White
House yesterday, the senator said:t {

candidate, he will be named Q nthe

address, before the. inland waterways
commission in st. Paul, In which
he stated that river Improvement

attention to the Importance of a deep
ar Mississippi river channel from the.
head OF navigation At St.. Paul to.
the lower river ports. Mr.. Hill point
ed out the necessity of utilizing the
waterways to relieve traffic conges-
ton in the United States, and em-
sphasized the possibilities Of deep
er channel from st. Paul south, in
the handling of northwestern grain
crops. He said in part: ,,,.s \. \ !.
Traffic is growing FIVE times as
fast, as the facilities of railways for
moving it. To deepen the MISSISSIPPI
pi will do more good to this country
than dozen Panama canals. TIE
quickest and best relief the country
can get is to improve the Mississippi
river. Every day of delay costs
more money to the men who are
on the land, the men who are thing
the soil is these states tributary to
the river. If the river is deepened so
that traffic can move from, st. Paul
to its mouth, business will come to
ST. Paul. I should think that prop
er river channels and dependable
depth of water from st. Paul would
mean the carrying of grain from st.
Paul to the mouth of the river at
from Z 41-2 to cents, and one can
easily see what a saving that would
mean to the growers of grain. Think
what an advantage that would be to
every man living in the Mississippi
valley. Sf.. l., x ,t.s ..s ,;.
Nothing is SO serious to the coun'
try as the present situation in which
the railways find themselves and the
congestion of rail lines under the
enormous volume of traffic. The pres.
emit means Of transportation will &c
the same until confidence is restored
and people again begin to invest
their money in railways. q!
