LAKE ERIE TO PiTTs8uRo.
Proposed ship Canal Connecting the
TWO Points.

Charters for the proposed ship canal
from Lake Erie to Pittsburg have been
received by the Lake Erie & Ohio
Ship Canal Company from Ohio, Penn
sylvania and the national government.
The work of construction is expect
ed to commence in the next year and
1t Is estimated that the canal can be
completed by 1914. The cost of
construction is estimated at $53 ,000,-
900.
According to the plans the Lake
Erie terminus will be at the mouth
of Indian Greek, just west of Ashta-
bula. The natural waterways along
the route are to be utilized, the first
division, distance of 20 miles, being
formed by the Beaver river. The Ma
honing rover, for length of 30 miles,
will constitute the second division.
The total rise for these divisions will
be lit feet, requiring IL locks. The
actual canal is to begin at Niles and
pursue route due north to Lake
Erie. The approach along the Mos
quito valley will require three locks.
In the plans provision is made for the
construction of lake nine miles long
at the southern end of the summit.
This lake will act us an auxiliary
reservoir and provide excellent har-
Dor. The summit is 81 miles long and
terminates 13 miles south of Lake
Erie. On this descent to the mouth of
Indian Creek, Lake Erie, IS locks
must be constructed with total drop
of 327 feet.

Unless Manager McGraw is mis-
taken in his estimate of ball player
the Giants will have grand stort-
stop next season in Albert II. Brid-
well, who was one of the men procured
in the big deal with Boston. Bridwell
always has been rated as a clever
fielder, but fans belittled his abilities
because he did not knock down fences
when he swung at the ball. At that,
Bridwell last year hit II points better
than the man he ucceeds-Dahlen-
having stick credit of .218. McGraw

Garry Hermann has decided that
every manager in the National league
is trying to gold brick him. The Gin
cinnati mogul has decided that he
must look like big rube to the other
supposed wise guys of the older or
ganization. Hermann is still sore
over the deal handed him by Barney
Dreyfuss. These tales about base
ball magnates being willing to help
strengthen the weaker teams are
enough to make horse laugh. After
this, every time hear one of my mag
nate friends make an offer, I'm going
to look around for the gold brick l ex-
pect him to toss at my head. Charley
Murphy, in the role of philanthro-
the Reds. All he wanted was $4,000
besides Kane and Pearce for Howard
and Zimmerman. Why, those two
players put together are not worth
$4,000 alone. And then there was
Barney Dreyfuss. Barney feigned
pity for my poor Reds. He could let
me have Tommy Leach II deal salts
factory to both teams could be ar
ranged. / thought saw real chunk
of gold coming my way. Then Barney
hit me on the head with club, at
least 1t felt that way, when he asked
me for about $4,000 worth of good
baseball material for the little fellow.
Aye, that was q fine offer Barney
made. I'll never get over his gen.
erosity"

turn the free side of the hinge as far

Paper making in Japan has been

New companies have been formed,

well is an Ohio boy, his home being
in Portsmouth. He has been in the Ma
tional league three seasons. In Gin
cinnati in 1905 he played all the in
field positions and two outfield places
for the Reds, making a splendid show
ing Hanlon wanted hitters and traded
Bridwell to Boston for Jim Delahanty.
In Boston, Bridwell was the teams
regular shortstop and showed wonder
full form. He is a young player, hav-
ing been connected with baseball only
since 1903. In that year he was with
Atlanta of the Southern league, ad-
vancing the next season to the Co.
lumbus club of the American associa-
tion. He is an amateur boxer of note
and is one of those keen-witted play
ers who become popular with the fans.
Pitchers say he is one Of the hardest
men in the league to pitch to, refusing
to bite at bad balls and getting many
passes in consequence.

President Woodrow Wilson of
Princeton advocates in the Yale News
fewer intercollegiate contests and the
limiting of college athletics to one or,
at most. two branches of sport. He
says: in regard to athletics, my view
is there are far too many activities en-
gagged in by undergraduates. For
merly there were two seasons of
sport, fall and spring, but now when
men take part in basket ball and
hockey during the winter months there
is practically no cessation of athletics
for some men. A good plan would be
to limit man to participation in one
or two branches of athletics. This
is the general sentiment of the Prince
ton faculty, but carrying out any such
plan Is the difficult part"
At the request of Coach Angel Of
Wisconsin Coach Jamison of the Pur-
due university basket ball team has
sent to the former the names of five
men who he thinks should comprise
the all western team of the present
year.
The men are: Lewis, Purdue, and
Falls, Chicago, forwards; Schommer
(captain), Chicago, center: Linder-
man, Wisconsin, and Cahaley, Min
nesota, guards. Coach Jamison gives
Page of Chicago credit for playing a
star game, but did not select him
owing to his tendency to rough play
and his height. For utility man he
chose Rogers and Deering.
Jamison in his letter to Angel says
with the seven men he has selected
he would not be afraid to play any
team in America.

SLIGHTLY COOLER AGAIN,
 BUT WHAT'S THE USEl

It will be slightly cooler today with a remote possibility of showers, de- claras the Weather Bureau. Elaticn over such a statement is well nigh impossible considering the height yes terday occupied by the top of the ner- cury column. and the restricted prom. ise of any desirable change implied In the prophecy qualified by the displeas- ing word "sIightly."
 The temperature yesterday was 96, and in consequence every one felt that he might as well be 96 years old as in the bloom of youth or the contentment of middle age. As has been predicted, there were clouds, but they Ill served the desires of the Montgomery people. They were full of holes through which the heat rays could penetrate with the utmost ease Into Che regioD occupied by the humanity of the city, but were absolutely proof against the escape of any heat from the immediate surface of the earth in this section.
 It rained in New York yesterday. It did not rain in Montgomery. Happy New York Pitiable Montgomery. But never mind. something. will happen soon It may be that the inhabitants of Montgomery will be driven to travel around the city in portable tubs of ice water and this win at least create diversion which will add interest to life. Let all hope for the best. Maybe one will have cold feet some day. blessed thought.

Flower Growers, su.. ms~s,.s.


 When the morning paper announced that the Flower Growers would hold their June meeting with Mrs. c. R. Clark. at Oak Park. all members re- solved ito try to be there.'
 When the president. Mrs. W. A. Gayle. called the meeting to order. there was an unusually large attend ance noted. Quite a number of guests added much pleasure to the occasion. The members felt that the presence of these guests bore testimony to the deep and widespread interest felt by the citizens in the unselfish and modest efforts of the dower-lovers Among these guests were such men of af- fairs as MT. H. C.. Davidson and Su- perintendent c. L. Floyd.
 The minutes of the May meeting were read by Mrs, M s. Gilmer; they were fully enjoyed as they brought vividiy to mind the enjoyable after noon when the club were the guests of Mir. Houghton.
 There was but little business to de- mand attention. so. in a few graceful words the President presented Mir. John Proctor Mills. who had held the Association in friendly mind wht.S on . recent trip to Central America--Cos- ta Rica.
 Mr. Mills briefly sketched the gem erai natural conditions of vegetation in that wonder garden leui. He had brought photographs of nature in all It's luxuriance--in d setting of stern and threatening volcanic en nyiroEp:ent--in setting of peaceful thrift. where a few -hours-a-day labor. brings such marvellous results. But best Of all. he brought plants. roots, and seeds to share with us! Among the greatest treasures were the seeds from a vine greatly resembling the Climatic Pan- icuiata save that the blossoms were a glorious purple. Everyone obtained . seed or two. and results are eagerly awaited Miss Coyart. acting ssor~ tary. has sent her supply of seeds to he distinguished hower-growcT Of Georgia, "Berkmans of Augusta" To him the Southland America~-owes many valuable discoveries and adapt ations: so the owner of those partica- lar seed felt snrer of results if MT Berkmans' skill was enlisted.
 After the lecture. the hostess invited her guests to stroll through her gar den. There was an oaimous cloud ris- ing in the WesI, and the Fiower Growers fearsi thsy might be deprlv. ec of the pl ansure and profit of bchoin. ing Mrs. Clarks floral treasures. ga

 These additions will cost between S25,o00 and Ss0,00O, and the undertak- ing is very creditable to a town the size of Jacksonville. The growth of the school called for additional build ings and the State made no provision for the same, the town undertook the work itself.
