Senator Gamble is somewhat disappointed
that his state cannot supply young men
successfully to pass muster for entrance
to West Point. Here apparently is an OPP
%portunity FOR any young man between the
ages of II and q to make application at
once for this vacant appointment to West
Point.
Senator Gamble invites all young men
who may be DESTROYS Of a military career
and who have reasonable chance TO stand
the mental and physical requirements to
apply to him at once. The next examl-
nation to fill these vacancies will be held
at West Point, New York on February 81.

ment with the United States.
But for tho protest Of a few of the ex-
IRENE conservatives the measure would
have passed all three readings unanimously.
Vice Chancellor Deibrueck in introducing
the bill gave a brief recital Of the course
Of the negotiations and said the United
States had demanded a number OF ooncos-
sions, the granting of which would have
been equivalent to a decided e-ncroachment
upon Germany's executive and police
autonomy. Particularly was this true in
respect to the veterinary police regulations.
He said:
ut was our first duty TO leave the
United States In no doubt that we would
lnterpose insuperable resistance to such
attempts TO attack our legislation and
policing measures In connection with the
tariff negotiations
Binds America to Minimum.
Discussing the bill itself, the vice chan
cellor showed that the German government
had given the agreement such form that II
the United States failed to adhere to the
concessions made Germany could shape It's
course accordingly. adding: For the
Bundesrath is authorized to admit Ameri-
can imports at conventional duties within
reasonable limits and this authorization
ceases Immediately when the United States
collects higher rates upon German imports
than is provided in section I of the law OF
August 8, 1909.
Herr Delbrueck further assured the
Reichstag that theS government could expect
confidently that Germany's excellent re-
lations with the United States would guar
artee a conciliary and broad-minded OBJ
servance of the agreement.
The president OF the Reichstag inquired
whether any one else desired to speak,
and no one responding. he added that IL
there was any objection to the immediate
and final passage of the measure that the
house would adjourn and reassemble an
hour later for the third reading in order
to comply with the rules Of the chamber.
No objection was raised and the bill was
passed.

Big LAND
DEAL MADE
Well Known Local People
Take Over Large Tract
In the Judith Basin.

This week $. J. Small of Judith
Gap, and l. n. Walker of Great Falls,
closed deal for all Of the Long lands
located in the vicinity Of Geyser and
Spion Kop. Montana, III the best por-
ton of the Judith Basin.
The deal involves an outlay Of near
ly half Il million dollars.
A large portion Of the land is highly
improved, and all Of it lies close in to
the towns above mentioned, which
places at the present time are enjoy
ing remarkable growth on account
OF the extraordinary productiveness
Of the surrounding lands.
Messrs. Small and Walker will open
an office at Gryser at once and clas-
sify this tract within the next few
days into forties. eighties, quarter
sections and larger tracts.
The demand for good farm lands in
the Judith Basin at i reasonable
price and on good terms is large. and
it is believed that these hustling real
estate men will turn a large portion
of these lands within the next ninety
days.
They have one Of the best, II not
the best, retail organizations in Mon
tana today, aud as they are exper-
fenced real estate men having the
entire confidence of large and small
investors, there is no reason why
they should not dispose OF this large
tract very rapidly. Beside their Gey-
ser Office they will maintain an office
at Judith Gap. though Mr.. Walker

The slides infect an element OF un-
certainty into the completion Of this
section, the only uncertain element
in fact. A considerable part of the
cut is through solid rock, and yet ther,
is enough loose earth TO cause some
uneasiness at times. especially during
the rainy season. So far, some two
million cubic yards of earth have fal-
len in, half of which has been removed
The slides lin sight" are put at anoth-
er million and an additional million j.
added to cover slides not yet discovered
However, estimates as to future slides
are merely guesses and no one is in a
position to give a guaranty against
five or even ten million cubic yards
but there is limit somewhere and
that limit will sometime be reached.

recent visit of the congressional COM
mittee and this one, too, is still in

The descent to the Pacific is made
through three locks arranged in
pairs like the Gatun locks, one at
Pedro Miguel and two az Mirahores.
Low hills at these points assist in con-
trolling the water, and lake of one
and quarter miles between Pedro
Miguel and Mirallores effects anothe +
saving in excavation.
The Gatun locks belong to Atlantic
division and are being constructed un-
der the direction of Colonel Sibert, an
army engineer who is member of
the canal commission. The locks at
Pedro Miguel and DIiraflores belong
to the Pacific division and are part
of the work assigned to Mr.. S. b. Will
hanson, civil engineer While the
two sets of locks are identical in plan
and almost identical in size (the de-
scent is little eeper than tile ascent
because there is twenty foot tide on

rivalry between the engineers in charge

different machinery their experience
will be useful to future work. Il may say

This lake formed by the Chagres
river, answers several purposes; it
supplies all the water needed for the
locks and for the generation of cleo
trio power; it saves an enormous
amount of digging and, most import.
ant Of all, converts the Chagres from
a menace into an invaluable ally. At
present its Hoods are the terror of the
Canal Zone, but when it pours its rag.
ing torrents into great lake, it will
be harmless. At its maximum it can
not raise the level of the lake more
than two feet and the lake level can
be lowered to receive the floods when
the rainy season begins.
The Culebra cut presents the most
difficult problem, and the problem
which has been most discussed For
more than nine miles the canal runs
through range OF hills where the ex-
cavating exceeds one hundred feet in
depth and is, at the highest point, FIVE
hundred and thirty-four feet deep
The bottom width OF the canal
throughout this section is three hun
dred feet, extended to five hundred
feet at curves The French began
their work on the canal at the highest
point, but the crest of the ridge is
narrow and their plans contemplated
a width of only seventy-two feet.
When the American commission en-
tered upon the task there was prism
containing seventy million cubic
yards of earth and stone to be re-
moved. but such satisfactory progress
has been made that the sum has al
ready been reduced to thirty eight
millions.
This cut is hive of industry some
are drilling and blasting; some are op-
Grating immense steam shovels some
are hauling long trains to the dumps
and still Others are moving tracks,
running levels, etc, etc. The dirt
trains contain from thirteen to thirty
cars and one hundred and forty seven
trains are loaded daily in the cut
The unloading Is done by means of a
steam plow and but seven minutes
is required to unload train Then
steam spreader comes along and scat
ters the dirt and track litter follows
and moves the track over whenever
necessary
The most important machinery is
used and some inventions have result
ed from experience here. The cost of
excavation will increase as the cut
deepens and the pace will slacken, but
it does not require stretch of the inn
agination to see ships passing through
Culebra The vegetation, however,
grows so rapidly and luxriantly here
that within few years the stranger
will mistake the cut for natural val
ley and wonder why the canal cost so
much.
