the wait may be prolonged to a pc

Secretary Ballnger's newness to
the work planned by the reclamation
service Is responsible for the delay.

comprehension of the situation" he
announced this morning.
For this reason the secretary of the
interior will go painstakingly through
every estimate prepared for his in
spection by the supervising engineers
of the six western districts. Had he
been older in the service and famil-
lar with the situation, a few leading
questions would have been a deci-

posed upon himself

KAUFMAN SAYS JEFF
WILL NEVER FIGHT

"Jeffries will never fight Jack
Johnson" said Al Kaufman, the big
heavyweight, who is in Portland to
referee the Roller-B Berg, Olson wrest-
ling match at the Exposition rink
here, says the Journal. AL is as
confident that his assertion is good
as he is that he can whip any man
but Jeffries in the country.
"Jeffries is in good shape now, but
at that he has no intention of fight
ing johnson, and the only reason he
has put up his $4,000 is to boom his
theatrical ventures said Kaufman.
Il like Jeff personally and know what
he has been doing in the past five
years and let me tell you he can new
er put up a good fight after the dis
spation he has gone through. True,
Johnson has been hitting the pace
some himself during the last six
months and l do not think he could
fight much himself"
Kaufman is in great shape now. He
is but % years old, and has a build
which could well be the envy of any
man on earth. He was found this
morning sprawled out in a big chair.
chatting with Doc" Roller. He was
all smiles when asked for his plans
for the coming years. He will leave
tomorrow for California, his native
state, and will probably break into
the game either there or in Australia
very soon.

It is only recently that he has been

White, a man almost as we'll known
to the sporting world as Kaufman
himself, will set sail for the antipoles
within a few months after he sets
foot on California soil.
While there he will take on Bill
Squres, Tommy Burns and some 9TH
ers of that crowd of huskies who have
hied themselves for the antpoles to
set some of the good coin Of the
realm which is to be had there this

WIRELESS CAUSES
TROUBLE TO PHONES

New York-Since the high power
wireless telegraph station was in
stalled at Brooklyn navy yard there
has been decided interference with
the efficiency of telephone and other
wire service in the vicinity Experts
who have been investigating the mat
ter believe that the electric waves
sent out from the navy yard wireless
station are absorbed to a certain ex-
tent by the telephone and other wires
carrying the electric currents and
that this acquisition Of foreign cur

mum sum in actual construction" he
asserted briefly.
The allotment Of $11,000.0O0 which
must be spent by the government be-
fore the end of 1910, is exactly S16,-
600, 900 short Of the amount asked
for in order to carry on the work. In
order to carry out Mr.. Ballnger's
announced policy of aggressive con-
struction and the speedy completion
of the projects now under way. the
greatest possible economy will have
to be practiced in the matter of what
are called overhead charges"-ex-
penses arising from the maintenance
of offices in Washington and Chica-
go, and in the branch offices all over
the country.
Mr. Ballinger did not intimate that
the personnel of the department
would be decreased. on the contrary
he commended Supervising Engineers
Hill, Swigert Hopson, Mcconnell.
Savage and Weymouth highly for the
work they have done and are doing.
Not less cordially he complimented
Director Newell, Chief Engineers Da-
Wis and Ensign, and Consulting En-
gineer ID. G. Henry He did not sug-
gest at any time either, that he con-
templated the removal of Director
Newell from office, and the engineer

Director Newell will not be removed

gineer Davis with President Taft i'm

special 0oxrsspondenoe to The xress
NEW YORK, July 12.-The news
from Paris that Enrico Caruso,
"the man with the golden voice"
has been signed to sing five more
seasons at the Metropolitan opera
house has drawn attention to the
strange shrewdness Of the singer,
which makes him as much a bust
ness man as an operate star.
Caruso put his signature to a
document, also signed by Otto H.
Kahn and Senior Gatti-Cazazzzi, for
the opera company, which assures
him there appearances each week,
for a season of % weeks for the
next five years, at $4,000 an even
ing. II Caruso's voice should fail
him, the opera company must
stand the loss.
For the five years covered in
the contract he will receive the
stupendous. sum of 100000!
Caruso's health is insured by the
Metropolitan opera company for
that sum to safeguard any loss to
the men who hand Caruso his pay
envelopes.
Beside Caruso's huge wages the
salaries of men noted as financiers
seem sdwarfed.
Mark Twain, would he MARBLE his
best for the rest of his life, couldn't
make enough in that way to pay
CarusO's chauffeur's wages. Mark
said so himself when he heard
Caruso had been signed.
Richard Wagner, endowed with
the most marvellous musical mind
ever allotted to man, never
dreamed of having in his life as
much money as Caruso will get in
the next five years.
Whistler, Van Dyke, Rembrandt
or Murillo, each was the greatest
of the worlds artists in his line of
painting, yet their voices were
worthless.
Yet Caruso Is financier, writer,
composer and painter.
When he is not spending his
time before the footlights, Caruso
is either at his desk, his piano, in
his office or at his easel. He is
endowed with what Carlyle said
genius was; the infinite capacity
for taking pains.
A year ago Caruso heard doctors
say he never would sing again. An
operation was performed on his
! throat and he had to learn the

to Weavers home to arrest him. The
appearance of the officers seemed to

BILE.
The SmOfebOx Type.
A new type OF superheater has been
in service on the Santa Fe railroad for
more than a year and the results have
been such as to lead to it's application
to a very large number of locomotives.
The superheater is of the smokebox
type and consists of two drums, each
con. aiming a set of fretubes. The drums
are located in the smokebox, where
steam passing through the drums on
it's way from the boiler to the cylinders,
is raised in temperature by heat from
the flue gases that would otherwise GO
to waste. This s1perheater is equally
applicable to both simple and compound
locomotives. When applied to simple
engine the steam passes through both
superheater drums before entering the
cylinders When applied to compound
engine steam passes through one drum
before entering the high pressure cylin-
ders and passes through the second
drum on its way from the high to the
low pressure cylinders.
The forward drum is cylindrical in
shape, while the rear drum is flattened
at the top to permit the location of the
dry pipe extension above this drum.
The drums are made of material as
