LOCK sYsTHN IS BEST
SEA LEVEL WOULD COST 100000.
= 900 MORE AND TAKE TEN
YEARS LONGER.

New York,-Tht lock system is the
right one for the Panama canal. 1t
would require ten years longer time
and cost 100000, 900 more to change
to sea level plan. The Gatun dam is
safe. These are the conclusions of
President Taft's commission.
Twenty-six representatives. members
Of special congressional committee
sent to Panama by President Taft to
report on the progress of the work on
the canal, arrived in New York, Sum
day on the Panama OF the Panama
railway steamship line.
Representative ]. A. Goulden Of New
York, chairman Of the Panama COM
mittee, said that the investigation had
been conducted in business-li likeiway,
and that with few exceptions all the
members had been agreeably surprised
with the progress OF the. wsrk.'
MANY of us were: Of the opinion
when we left fer the canal. on April
14th. that the sea level plan was more
desirable than the lock project" said
Mr. Goulden. IA weeks study of the
conditions, however. changed our opin-
IONS, and we are to report that the plan
decided upon by President Taft is the
better Of 1.-The two. 's-7.e4
Every assurance was give to us by
the engineers in the, canal zone that
the foundations of. the GatGn dam
would prove more than strong enough
to hold the load. These foundations
are at depth OF 1SO feet and in some
places more than that.
Estimates by our experts show that
to change the plan of construction
from the lock to the seal level plan
would entail an additional cost of $780,
100000. Also it would delay the COM
pletion of the canal for ten years be-
yond the date now set by the engineers
for the work to be finished. The canal
will be completed inside Of five years,
we believe"
T Representative H. F. Conroy Of New
York said that the principal objection
to the sea level plan was the action
Of the tide. =
"The tide rises to a height Of 20 feeat
on the Pacific side of,the isthmus." he
said. while the rise, on the opposite
side is several feet. less, and at differ
ent times of the day andsnight, l was a
strong supporter of the sea level
scheme until these facts were made
clear to me by personal Investigation.
These conditions were convincing in
my mind, and l now believe also that
there is no reason for fear from the

Popular Receptacle Was Not at First
Always Put 10 the Best
Of Uses

Hip pockets in mems trousers
were first devised by some southern
tailor shortly before the civil war
The first hip pocket was made about
the proper size 10 carry a half pint
flask of liquor, and that was the pur-
pose for which it was intended by its
inventor. Later, they were made IN
pint and quart sizes, and were worn
on both the nigh and off sides, and
the pockets thus located sprang into
instant favor. You may not have
found much use for the hip pockets
in your trousers. That is an indne-
ton that you are respectable man,
for the reputation of the hip pocket
is clouded. Besides being a receptacle
for various brands of liquor, it has
also been noted as the abiding place
Of concealed pistols, knucks, slung-
shots and other deadly weapons. 1t
is where the gambler carries his
cards, and the bad boy hides the
"makings." If you have found no
other use for hip pockets than a
convenient place for handkerchiefs,
you are more innocent than NEST
hip pockets.

CHEAP METHOD OF DRAINING
WindmfIIs Of Holland Are Practically
Indispensable to the IN
habitants.

The windmills of Holland have as
their chief function the draining of
the polders, or meadows. IN the
spring, when the thawing weather
fills these meadows with water Hol-
land is very damp country at all
times, and without this cheap means
Of drawing the water off Of the land
the people would be In sore straits
indeed
All along the dykes may be seen
these windmills, silently but surely
performing their function of drain
ing the lowlands Steam pumps are
used IN some places, and probably
wiz be used in the gigantic under
taking that Holland now has on
foot Of draining the Zuyder Zee, but
doubtless windmills will always be a
distinctive feature OF Dutch land
scapes, for the wind rarely ever fails
in that country, and there IS prac-
tically no expense attached to the OPP
Grafton Of these mills.
Even in the heart Of Rotterdam
there is a large windmill for grind
ing corn and wheat, and while one
would flank that in the city the
buildings would break the wind SO
that a mill couldn not be used salts
factorily, nothing seems to interrupt
this old Landmark as It steadily
grinds away day in and day out the
year round.
