engaged in the construction of the
Panama canal takes the gloomiest
OF views concerning the prospects OF

1t is to render service to the
United States TO affirm that the plan
that is now being carried out will re-

aster in the history OF public under

the canal depends on Catun dam. !
and all French engineers who studied
the question were absolutely con.
vinced that the nature OF the ground
makes certain the destruction of the
dam that is being erected. The re-
cent accident to Catun dam confirms
this view
An American engineer attributes
the sinking of the dam TO heavy rains

NORTHWESTERN BRIDGE
DELAYS UP RIVER BOAT

Pierre, S. D., May 1S.-The North
western railroad has been up against
a hard proposition here for the past
three days. The government boat,
'Mandan.'' made its way up the river
and signaled the bridge engineer for
an open bridge. The engineer started
his big engine, which handles the draw
of the bridge. and after some maneuv-
ering found that the bridge would not
draw. sN
Investigation proved that the current
OF the river had thrown up a huge
sand bar directly under the bridge
where the draw is located. AS 1t costs
the railroad people 500 per day for
every day the government boats are de-
layed by bridge obstacles, great haste
was made to try and remove the big
sand bar. For three days the big boat
Jim Leighton has been working at
the north end of the bar and the Man
dan at the south end of the bar. BY
backing the boats, the sand was famed
to one side and a channel made by the
propellers. Last night the boats sue
ceeded In making entrance through the
sand and the "Mandan" continued it's
way up the river.
