The itinerary of the return from the
Holy land was changed and the party
proceeded overland to Egypt. In
Egypt only few of the many points
of interest could be visited but the
party saw" Cairo, the pyramids, and
the Sphynx. The party sailed from
Egypt from the port of Alexandria for
Greece.
On the return the climax of the trip
was reached in the Witnessing of the
world famous Passion Play at Ober-
ammergau. The party then proceeded
by the overland route to the coast and
embarked for home.
The party of which Reverend Pot
ter was member consisted of twenty
people, most of whom were ministers
of the gospel and made the trip for the
knowledge of the scenes of Bible
times they would gain thereby One
member of the party (Burrel by name)
was not minister and failed to see
any beauties in any part of the Holy
land. although his views may have
been distorted y trouble with his hip.
The party suffered great hardships
through the Holy land in securing
food and water that was fit to eat.
The food was very poor miser-
able, and course, and any member of
the party would not think of touching
a similar piece of food in this coun-
try They also experienced trouble
in making themselves understood in
great part of the trip. Signs had
to be depended on entirely and were
not very satisfactory.
Reverend Potter will deliver sew
eral lectures on the trip at the Trim
ity Methodist church for the benefit
of those that should care to listen.
One of the lectures will be on the
great Passion play and others on 9th
er interesting features of the trip.

WOMAN AND HER BARGAINS
Temptations That 1t Is Well for the
Ordinary Daughter of Eve
TO Resist.

Women are such curious creatures.
They continually see in the shops
things that attract their eyes, and
they have "the price"
The next morning they gaze at the
purchase in despair.
Although they admire it fully as
much as they did when its charm out
rivaled that OF its companion pieces
on the counter, they wonder how they
are to make use Of it.
1t is here that a woman with mag
inatton has the advantage of her less
gifted neighbor; here that practical
woman excels and here that there is
no hope for the woman who, like our
Missouri cousin" must "be shown
To one of the brain builders" no
material, however seemingly hopeless,
is thrown away. When ticketed and
labeled to her memory the sudden

running through the shops, in walking

bination seems to come. The bit of
stuff is taken out and something use
full or beautiful is evolved.

RIVER MEETING
OF NEXT WEEK
Upper Mississippi River Improvement
Association Will Meet in
ST. Paul.
Especial to The Gate City.l

Special lie IdtG Slly vi
SAINT PAUL, Mimi, July with
the hope of ultimately getting the
channel of the Mississippi deepened to
the Gulf of Mexico, the Upper Missis-
sippi River Improvement association
will meet in Saint Paul July 1918, and
discuss plans for lettering the big
Father of Waters" from Saint Paul
to the mouth of the Missouri, just
north of st. Louis. Champ Clark, mi
nority leader in the national house of
representatives will head delegation
of congressman and senators who will
attend the meeting and it is possible
that Uncle Joe" Cannon will also at
tend
The rivers and harbors bill passed
by the recent congress appropriated
100000 for the improvement of the
upper Mississippi, and from the sun
dry civil act there will be another
100000 making s1,000,oo0 in all avail
able for the upper part of the stream.
Even tie Mathematician mark must be
considerably exceeded, however, if the
project of the corps of United States
engineers, for six-foot channel, free
of sand bars and protected by wing
dams, Is to be finished within the next
twelve years. The present congress
in passing the river and harbor bill,
has given its endorsement to that pro-
ject, though it left to future sessions
the appropriation of most of the mon
ey.
Four years ago this project was
first taken up and it is estimated that
such channel as the United States
engineers want. will require, all told,
S20,000000. With the S1,000,000 that
has been appropriated, to be expended
this year, the engineers will have had
s2,5o0,oo0 for the project, leaving ST.
100000 to be obtained from future con
crosses.
Wing dams, however, are no new
thing on the upper Mississippi, Tough
the six-foot channel project, a compar-
atively new enterprise, could not pos
sibly be carried out without such
dams. Most of the summer river tour
lists who see these great piles of stone,
extending in parallel lines almost out
to the middle of the river, giving, with
the shores to which they extend, forms
like huge combs, the dams represent
ing the teeth, do not know that these
wing dams are absolutely essential to
the navigation of the river, as they
keep the main current in one portion
of the river bed, preserving a deep
channel where sand bars cannot col
lect, because the movement of the wa
| ter is too strong. The government
has been constructing these wing
dams to a greater or lesser extent dur
I ing the past thirty years, and has
spent about S10,000,000 on such work
including the dredging out OF sand
bars. BY six foot channel the en-
gineers do not merely mean one that
has an average depth of six feet. 1t is
1 to be at least six feet below tie low
water mark everywhere during the en-
tire season of navigation. This Will
require about twice as many wing
dams as there, now are between st.
Paul and Winona and about three
times the present number between
!, Winona and the Missouri river.

FEWER ACCIDENTS IN
HARD COAL MINES
official Report Shows That the Min
er's Lives are Not Taken
as Rapidly.

The totals of both fatal and non
fatal accidents in the anthracite
mines of Pennsylvania have shown
marked decrease for 1909, according
to a report just issued by the United
States Geological survey. The number
of fatal accidents in 1909 shows de-
crease of 1857 per cent from 1908 and
of 1891 per cent from 1907. The non
fatal accidents decreased 11,62 per
cent from 1908 and 24.4S per cent ov-
er 1907.
IAN interesting feature says the
bulletin, lis that the explosions in the
anthracite mines show much smaller
rate of mortality than in the bftmin-
Gus mines. This is probably due to
the comparatively inert character of
anthracite dust, which does not pro-
pagate cumulative explosions, such
as are likely to occur in bituminous
mines when initiated by an explosion
of fire damp, or otherwise. Explo-
sions in the anthracite mines are in
consequence more localized and are
attended with comparatively FEWER Ia
tai results
On the other hand, falls of roof in
the anthracite mines, says the re-
port, are more apt to be fatal than in
the bituminous mines.
Though the number of deaths, in
both soft and hard coal mines, was
smaller in 1909 than in the preceding
year, the non-fatal accidents increas-
ed from S,947 to 1902 in the bitumin-
GUS mines. In the anthracite mines,
on the contrary, the non-fatal acct
dents in 1909 show a decrease from
both 1907 and 1908.
The Geological Surveys report says
that "commendable efforts are being
made to lessen the hazardous charac-
ter of the mine workers employ
ment.
