DAM SLUIC|NG
RECOMMENDED
Months Work Had Added MANY
Feet to the Height of the
Earth Fill.

There is plenty of dirt flying at the
Nuuanu dam construction work these
days after the enforced suspension of
sluieing early in the week The assured
water supply has cleared the way for
the contractor and the great earth heap
across the valley is growing steadily
and the iron fumes are running brim
full of puddled mud, adding daily to
the dam, while away up on the side
of the hill the earth is crumbling with
the steady assault of the monitor, driv-
ing its column of water against the
bank.
The shut down in the sluicing last
week was due to the fact that since
the work began a month ago the earth
ern top of the dam has been brought
up level with the sluicing fumes, TWEEN
ty feet and more of solid earth has
been piled on the dam and the big
work is commencing to rise and look
like something. This has made it nee
essary to raise the fumes so that the
earth could be carried over the new
aevel and delivered at the far end of
the work. There was a dearth of car
.penters and on this account the work
of raising the fumes was delayed some
what, but on Friday this was finished
and the mud began to move again down
the hill and spread over the dam sur
face, creeping mp the legs of the fiume
supports and adding inch by inch to
the wall behind which the Nuuanu lake
viii shortly begin to form.
To assist the work of the monitor,
-gunpowder was brought into play last
week and an immense chunk of the
hillside was torn from its place and
.pulverized for the water to handle. The
sluieing ground is eh a high spur of
the mountain some hundreds of feet
above the proposed high water level
of the reservoir, on the Waikiki side
of the gulch between the Lulumahu
stream and the pail. Under sthis shout
der of red dirt a gopher tunnel was
driven, just big enough for man to
crawl into and work. This was run
into the hill for eighty feet, where a
big cavern was gouged out. In this .
tin after tin of blasting powder was
stacked, the tunnel plugged and the
charge fred. The effect was crafty
ing. From a place of safety Contractor
Whitehouse and his men watched the
work of the powder. Following the
explosion the side of the hill heavedi t

USE new BALLAST
Illinois Central Finds Gravel
And Sand Mixture Works
To Good Advantage.
1T WILL SAVE MILLIONS.

Memphis, July 11-Millions of dol
lars will be saved annually in cost of
operation by the Illinois Central by the
method it has adopted for obtaining
ballast of highly superior quality
from the bed of the Mississippi.
By means of dredges especially con-
structed for the purpose the compa-
ny is taking from the bed of the riv-
er at Memphis between l 200 and l 800
cubic yards of gravel ballast every "a
hours, Thus far more than 100000
cubic yards of pebbles have been suck
ed from the depths of the river and
transferred to approximately 60 miles
of Illinois Central track between Mem
phis and Vicksburg. With the river
pebbles, which have been washed
by the waters is mixed about % per
cent of ordinary sand, the mixture
producing the finest ballast yet dis
covered and is practically dustless.

THE OPEN AIR CHURCH.

A highly commendable course is
being pursued by the ministers of
Richmond in the establishment and
maintenance of the public open-air
Sunday afternoon church services held
weekly in one or another of the city
parks. indianapolis has come into
line and is behind a similar move
ment for that city during the warm
season. The success of the undertake
ing in Richmond is attested by the
large attendance.
For the average laboring man, Sun
day means day of recreation and es-
pecially in the summer, when he is
only too glad to exchange the Sitting
air of shop or office for the free and
pure atmosphere of the out-of-doors.
Inside the church it is warm the nat
ural temples of God offer a cooler re-
treat and it is in this bower that the
Christian man is sought by the minis
ters. 1t is a helpful work.
Each week, one of the clergymen of
the city will devote Sunday afternoon
to this work. 1t means a sacrifice,
but it is undertaken nobly and the
public appreciates it. The services
are not for "slums" or for any class
in particular. Richmond is happily
without Sums" happily without
classes, in fact. The Sunday after
noon sermon and its short accompani-
ment of devotional music is for all the
people and the ministers are deserving
of hearty approval.

MR.. JOHN WORTH KERN,
OF INDIANA.

The nomination by the democratic
Kern, of Indiana, to be second man on

observations that interest the student
of human nature because they are just
what can always be expected. John
w. Kern is well known in Richmond;
his friends have been many among
both the democrats and republicans.
been recognized and he has been hon
ored by his party, there are many who
say with grunt of surprise, 'Pshaw;
Kern isn't vice-presidential timber.
Why, I've known him for years." The
general public is apt to believe but the
student" merely mods his head and
reflects.
next door neighhor doesn't amount to
much. If this point is considered
deeply. it will be found to hold good
and when the democrats chose Kern,
whom everyone knows is a man noted
for his honesty, legal ability and
steadfastness of purpose, the little i'm
pressions are remembered and the
ones that count forgotten.
Not that Mr.. Kern has a chance to
be elected! Indiana knows that his
qualities commend him to the place,
but with Mr.. Bryan on the ticket he
has no chance at all One of Mr..
Kern's close friends wrote a note to
the nominee saying, mo one can ex.
tend more hearty congratulations and
with more sincere motives than /. But
John. YOU are on the wrong ticket
and you can't be elected"
That is the view that the hundreds
of republican friends of John w. Kern
are taking of his nomination. 1t shows
their loyalty to their friend but at the
same time their patriotic scruples in
refusing to vote for the presidential

new LAD|NG BILL
Approved by the Interstate
Commerce Commission,
Saturday.
MUCH MORE SATISFACTORY

Washington. July IA new uni
form bill of lading. designed as sub
stitute for the bills now in use, for the
movement of miscellaneous freight
and general merchandise was today
approved and its adoption recommend
ed to the common carriers of the
country and the shipping public by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t provides two forms. printed on the
face side in different colors, one for
straight" and one for order" con-
signments. The order" bill will pos
scss a certain degree of negotiability
while the straight bill will be non
negotiable.
The order" bill must be surrendered
upon delivery of the property to the
consignees. This plan is expected TO
meet largely the requirements of the
banking concerns of the country which
advance vast sums of money upon
bills of lading. The changes have all
been in the direction of greater sim
plicity in the interest of the shipping
public. The bill is more or less a COM
promise. 1t imposes important obliga-
tons which carriers have not here to-
fore assumed but retains exemptions
to which some shippers may object.
May Be Altered II Necessary.
The commission believes the bill
is the best adjustment practicable of
a long standing controversy which af-
fects the business interests of the
country. The commission expressly
retains the right to exercise its cor
receive authority as TO any provisions
of the new bill, which under test of
experience may be found proper
The commission does not undertake
to prescribe the bill of lading because
it is convinced such action would ex-
coed its authority II is under stood,
however, that. the new bill will be
adopted by all the railroads in the
official classification territory. The
commission recommends that the new
bill be adopted generally on September
1, next. The bill is not intended to
take the place of bills now in use in
connection with certain particular
commodities, such as live stock and
perhaps perishable property.
The new bill is the outgrowth of
complaints made in 1904 by numerous
shippers and commercial organizations.
