To Prevent Fruit From Molding.

Small bubbles Of air in a fruit ja:.,
a damp cellar and numerous other
causes may effect the formation Of a
mold on the top of canned fruit. A
positive remedy for this is to pur-
chase little glycerin and keep it near
at hand while canning the fruit. Be-
fore sealing the jars put teaspoon
ful of the glyeerin on top Of the
fruit. This does not. in any way, in

The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-09-26

Bay Fur company had already pushed its way
into the Canadian northwest and Mackenzie had fol-
lowed the river that bears his to the Arctic
ocean and then pushed to the Pacific. New
Mexico had known the white for more than
century. California was settled and the entire
coast of Alaska had been explored But in that
wilderness which the boundaries of Idaho now en-
close the foot of white man had never trod.

Rocky Mountains from Horse Prairie Montana, to

Trial Dams at Gatun.

New York Tribune: Possibly one of the features
of the canal construction at the sthmus of Panama
which attracts than average attention from the
visitor is the experimental dam at Gatun the
Caribbean side. The great dam at Gatun which is
under course of construction and adjacent to
which are the three great Gatun locks which will
raise and lower vessels eighy-ive feet of the
problems of the stupendous enterprise of the Ameri
government
The first experimental dam which served its pur-
pose for tests has been supplanted by second
dam. According to 'The Canal Record" the official
publication of the Isthmian canal commission the
dam is built scale of to IL, identical with
it's predecessor In the first dam the material was
pumped in from the downstream toe, with the
result that the fine particles of earth material most
impervious to water deposited along the up
stream face A head of water elghty-flve inches
deep in the experimental DAM representing eighty
five feet in actual depth, applied to the upstream
face of the original dam May A. and the
perments continued until a constant rate of seepagc
had been maintained for a week All the informa-
ton needed from the first dam was obtained with
results satisfactory beyond the expectation of the
engineers in charge.
The material is sandy clay deposit of which
found on the Chagres river in distant
from the axis of the Gatun dam from three-quarters
of mile to a mile and a half, and in sufficient
quantity to construct the dam.
In the construction of the first experimental dam
much of the finer impervouS material lost in the
water which drained off, but notwithstanding the
deposit the upstream face was exceedingly water
tight. The remainder of the material arranged itself
in such way that, although offering great resis-
lance to percolation, any water which penetrated
the upstream face drained off readily and the line of
saturation kept unusually low. At the grade of
which corresponds to the proposed height
of the water in Gatun lake. the water was held for
a week.
AS some question might arise in the lay mind
whether the action of the water against a. dam
twelfth the size of the proposed dam would be the
same as in the of the big dam the level of the
water dropped to grade As and held there for a
week. The results of these experiments indicated
that the relations between water at grade IS and
grade As similar.
The material of the new dam will be pumped into
the tank from downstream and upstream faces
that more of the finer material may be deposited as
an impervious in the centre of the dam The
test pit on Gatun Island June II was 81 feet
deep and was still in impervious clay On the same
date the test pit in the spway at Gatun was Sc feet
deep and the material encountered was hard brown

Substructular Work of G. L.

NEXT COMES PENNSYL vANIA
Nothing Left Of two Former Bridges
But Iron-Trains to Pass
Over Soon.

Indiana Harbor. May 1.-(Special.)-
The Herman Tapp Construction COM
pany yesterday completed the struc-
tural work on the c. L S. & E. railroad
bridge over the canal at Indiana Har-
Dor. Fred Tapp, who Is in charge of
the company's work, says their part
of the B. & o. work will also be fin
ished by Saturday, after which they
will devote all their time and atten-
ton to the Pennsylvania bridge. This
company is also building the Inland
Steel company's tunnel. which work is
being pushed with a vigor that prom
ises an early completion.
The Lake Shore substructural work,
which is being done by the Lake
Shores own force, is also nearly done.
1t is now but a matter of a short while
before the Strabel Construction com
pany, who base the iron work Of sew
eral of the bridges proper, will get to
work setting the great iron beams and
girders in place, which is the final
work. All of this iron is already on
the ground and the various sections
are together as far as it is possible
for them to be before being put into
place in the actual bridge.
Just when trains will be able to pass
or the bridges is not known, but il
will doubtless be very soon.

TRIAL IS IN PROGRESS
Dealers Proven to Have
Meats in Icebox That
Were Purifying.

considerable progress was made yes
terday in the S. L. Eisler case in which
the Indiana Harbor and Gary grocer
was charged before Judge IRELAND
with violation of the pure food laws.
Five witnesses were heard for the
prosecution and three for the defense
and after a long and tedious hearing
the case was continued for one week
in order to give Prosecutor Boone an
opportunity to prepare brief in sup
port of the states case.
The argument which necessitated this
brief was over the Interpretation OF
the pure food law. The warrant I'M
der which Eisler was arrested charged
the grocer with having on exhibition
and for sale" certain meats and poul-
try that were considerably "over-ripe. y
Had the warrant charged him with
maintaing an unsanitary refrigerator
there need have been no difficulty in
convicting the grocer, for it was proven
conclusively that the ice box contained
meats which had reached a certain
degree of putriication.
There was nothing, however, to show
that these meats were offered for sale
and their presence in the refrigerator
was not merely an accident.

DELEGATES NET
At INDIANAPOLIS
Important Political Meeting
is Held at Claypool
Hotel Yesterday.
HANLY READY WITH SPEECH

dent and Offers of Aid
Are Made.

Indianapolis, May 1.-(Specia1.)-
Delegates from Indiana to the republic
can national convention in June met
here this afternoon to perfect plans
for carrying on the Fairbanks cam
paign in the convention city. Practi-
cally all the delegates and alternates
were present, the notable absentees
being Senators Beveridge and Hemen-
way, delegates who were pre-
vented by official duties from leaving

ing commodious quarters at the Audi
forum and for obtaining elaborate
badges that will proclaim to that part
of the world at Chicago that Indiana
is for the vice president first, last and
all the time
Charles S. Hernley, an alternate-at-
large, announced that he had arranged
for the use of twenty five automobiles
with which to entertain delegates from
doubtful states. These machines will
be donated by large manufacturer at
Newcastle, where Mr.. Hernly lives
1t had been thought that a chairman
of the Indiana delegation might be Sc
lected but this action was postponed in
view of the absence of Senators Bever-
idge and Hemenway. The reelection
of Harry S. New as national committee
man was also deferred to a future
meeting fully attended.
Governor Hanly, who is a delegate
at-large, attended the meeting and
was congratulated on having been in
vited by the vice president to place his
name in nomination. Those who heard
the governors eloquent speech at the
recent state convention anticipate a re-
markable nominating speech.
Greetings were sent the vice presi-
dent and the delegates formally ex-
tended to him all the aid in their
power. The meeting was enthusiastic
and wonderfully harmonious.

that where land sold on the foreclosure
of a recent mortgage which bound the
wife's interest was redeemed by judg-
ment creditor, and resold any surplus
in excess of the amount due the re-
demptioner produced by the second sale
goes to the widow and not to the hus-
bands other creditors. The court said

cess of the mortgage, not exceeding a
third of it's value, belongs to her, except

yides the contrary.

WALKING MATCH WILL
BE BIG EVEN
Indiana Harbor and Hammond BIen VIII
Walk Regardless of Weather
Conditions

1t has been found that neither con-
testant in the great inter-city walking
match that is to take place tomorrow
between Jim Kroupa and Joe Kamradt
from Indiana Harbor to Gary. will be
able to weigh in according to the plans
and specifications as prepared by Archi-
tect J. T. Hutton of Hammond.
AS both contestants are determined
that the match will be pulled off re-
gardless of age size or weight, they
agreed to accept catch weight and dis
regard the restrictions which originally
were laid down for them.
The rumor that Kroupa had trained
down to 2O6, which is two pounds be-
low the weight prescribed for him in
Mr.. Hutton's Specifications, was proved
without foundation, when both men,
dressed as they will be for the great
athletic event, weighed today.
