tween Canon City and Scott City,
Kan. Every mile of this distance has
been contracted for and will be built
as rapidly as men and money can do
it. The contracts for construction and
equipment recently let aggregate more
than $14,000,000. The completed prop

100000 each, the installation of 75,-

MORE STUDY NEEDED.
Four Years In College Not Enough for
Engineering Students.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 25.-Four
years of college work do not sufilce TO
give the training now called for in
our engineering professions. says
President James P. Angel of the Uni
versity of Michigan, in his annual re-
port to the board of regents.
President Angel suggests that candl-
dates for engineering degrees could re-
ceire at the end Of their fourth year
the degree of bachelor of science. AT
the end of the fifth year that OF bachei-
or of engineering or architecture and
at the end of six years the degree OF
master of engineering or architecture,
He ADDS, however, sit remains to be
seen whether our patient American
youth can he induced to remain with
us long enough to score these higher
attainmentS."
Speaking of the salaries paid to col
lego professors, President Angel says:
1T is unhappily true that on the sal
aries we are able to pay 1t is seldom
that a professor with a family, when
he rears in Il manner becoming his po-
ston, accumulated enough 70 fetlfe
with comfort in his old age. THIS IS So
obvious that men do not generally en-
ter ,lpon the career of college teaching

SHIP is MISSING.
Barkentine AuburndaIe Believed to
Have Been Lost at Sea.

Bostcr ~ont. 25.-Though John S.
Emery = It State street. her own
ers, have reluctantly concluded that
the F1rkentine Auburndale has been
lost IN her passage from Turks Is
land to Philadelphia, there is the
greatest mystery as to what has be-
come of the wreck. Her course was
the usual one taken by all vessels in
the West Indian trade and if the big
craft has gone down it is extraordi
nary that not the least trace of either
vessel or survivors has been obtained
1t is scarcely probable that all hands
went down in her.
The Auburndale sailed from Turks
island with $4,000 barrels of salt 60
lays ago. The passage usually takes
not longer than three weeks, so she is
now 40 days overdue. The owners are
forced to the conclusion that she has
met disaster. There We're nine men
and one woman aboard. The bark
entine wasscommanded by Capt. Ever
EFT b Haskell of Deer Isle, Me-, who
has a wife and two sons. The chief
mate was George Leyland of San
Francisco Second Mate III. Wefers
lived in Philadelphia. Charles Moore,
steward. was accompanied by his wife
Mary Moore, who acted as steward
ess of the craft. The following We're
the seamen aboard: Olaf Petersen Of
Philadelphia, j. Smith of Philadelphia,
w. Klust, Karl Haner and Samuei
Kyerner. The homes of these last
three are unknown.
The Auburndale may have been in
collision with some craft and her crew
picked up and carried to some port
half way around the world. In this
case it will be weeks and perhaps
months before they will be heard from
The Auburndale was built in Mill
bridge, Me, in 1880 and was valued al
$4,000.
