Idaho. Utah, Nevada. California, Ari-
zona and New Mexico will speak up
on Irrigation and Dry Farming as
an Ideal Combination" at the fifth
Dry Farming congress in Spokane
and will here pass the week Of Octo-
Der 3.
MIR. Newell spent several hours at
the international headquarters Of the
Dry Farming congress in Spokane on
August 2s and in conversation with
John r. Burns secretary-treasury of
the organization, the director of the
reclamation service, admitted being
a convert to dry farming methods. He
had taken up the subject and studied
it carefully and he is now thoroughly
convinced that 1t is of the greatest
benefit to mankind.
Mr.. Newell said he had gone into
the matter in a scientific manner and
the office Of experiments of the bu-
reau of plant industry had proved 1t
to be correct, adding that he is now
prepared to put these proofs before
the farmers Of the United States and
would do so in his address at the ses-
sions of the Dry Farming congress.
Expressing this enthusiasm over
the dry farming situation in the
northwest Mr.. Newell said that he
had found many Illustrations of the
merits of the methods on his present
tour, and in view Of the long season
of drouth they appeared TO him to be
nothing short of marvellous. He also
said that from what he had seen of
the inland empire here is every rea-
son to believe that the department of
the interior will grant all of the rea-
sonable requests
"Our trip through the country is
TO gather facts that deal with the
worthiness and feasibility of the va
rious projects" said Mr.. Newell. "The
report will not be a recommendation"

volver, leaped on the bare back of a
horse and gave chase. The dog was
overtaken as it was nearing some chill
dren playing in the street.
Riding at full speed Matte fired,
wounding the dog, which turned and
came running back. The report of the
revolver frightened the horse and the
girl was thrown by a sudden side
movement, but she alighted on her
feet still grasping the revolver and
quickly fired. The dog, which was
then not more than 10 feet from her,
fell dead, shot through the head.

BANK RESERVE DROPPING.
Cash Drawn OFF to Meet Seasons Re.
Quirements.

New York-The Financier says:
The statement of the New York as
sociated banks this week shows that
the general drawing off of reserves to
meet seasonable requirements, which
began last week, is fairly under way
According to actual statement, the loss
in cash was s2,475,S00, which closely
approaches previous statements of the
current movement. Reserve require
ments, however We're decreased by a
loss of S3,259.700 in deposits, the sur
plus reserve being brought down
through these OPERATIONS to s49,046,-
$50, a loss of only s1,600.S75. This
still leaves the banks with 2S.S7 per
cent reserve against $3.50 a year ago
The average statement showed a
smaller loss in cash, but this was prob
ably due to the fact that most of the
shipments took place at the end of the
week. Loans expanded over 10000
000. according to the statement Of
averages, while the actual statement
showed a slight increase. The state
banks and trust companies in Greater
New York not reporting to the clear
ing house lost cash to some extent
and increased deposits. thereby effect

WAITING ROOF.
u GENERAL VIEW

South Africa, England and America
and who now are doubtless looking for
other subterranean regions to conquer.
All the excitement was taken out OF
one novice's visit back of a tunnel
shield by finding Tom Brown, the old
est foreman on the contractors staff,
seated on a pile of river bed silt grave
ly squeezing mud balls for the pur-
pose of finding how much water the
sand carried at that spot. That moth
ing but the air pressure kept the whole
of the river from descending on his
head worried him not the least.
But the dangers OF the work? Dam
gers there were, or "a certain risk Of
injury, but not enough to worry a man
in good health who observed the rules
that stared him in the face from every
wall.
To make it as safe under the bed of
the river as it is on the lands surface
was the aim Of the Pennsylvania tun-
mel builders. The old Hudson river
tunnel which crosses the Hudson at
Merton street was abandoned at one
time because so many lives were lost
The main difficulty was to Asep the
river from coming into the Sube and
drowning the workmen. The air under
the heavy pressure required to keep
the water from sweeping IN sometimes
blew out through the river bottom,
and then the water poured i'm in such
volume that there was little or no time
for escape.
In the pennsylvania railroad tunnels
the life of the sand hog" was almost
as safe as that of the surface worker.
Emergency locks. air curtains and
emergency platforms or walks near the
roof of the tunnel were provided so
that in case of "a blowout and conse-
quent flooding of the tunnel the men
would have a chance to escape through
the air held in the top of the tunnel
The most important of the rules en-
forced while the Pennsylvania tunnels
were being built was one requiring the
men to go slowly through the air locks.
Tho rule was to take a minute for
about two pounds of pressure-in 9TH
er words, in coming out of a pressure
of thirty four pounds man should
spend not less than fifteen minutes in
the lock. Finding that this rule was
ignored. Henry Japp. managing en-
tyineer of the contractors who built the
East river tubes, devised a valve
which enabled the lock tender TO regu-
late the change of pressure with me-
chanical exactness.
Before a man was permitted to work
in the underriver tunnels he was put
through a severe examination for heart
and lung troubles and general condi-
ton If he passed the medical inspec-
ton he was sent down in the air" for
an hour or two and then re-examined.
If the second examination was salts
factorily passed be was put on a
short shift for week and then IL he
showed no i'll effects was given a
steady job.
Men If al nationalities built the
Pennsylvania tunnels, negroes doing a
large part of the job. Laziness was
something the contractors never had to
contend with. They say there must be
something about the compressed air
which generates energy and enthusi-
asn, for the "muckers" commonly
known as sand hogs''-vied with one
another to make the greatest progress.

tube met In the same way. To fill in
the gap where the shields met in the
south tube a tunnel section that had
been on exhibition at the St. Louis
worlds fair was used. It consisted of
eight rings. The shields in the four
East river tunnels met as perfectly as
those in the Hudson tubes, L. ID all
were completed at about the same time
When the tubes were through from
end to end the work of putting in the
re- enforced concrete lining was started
immediately. This lining is twenty
two inches thick. On each side of the
tunnel there is so called bench three
feet wide, which serves a walk,
while within will be carried conduits
for telegraph, telephone, signal and
power wires.
In the construction of the tunnels
nothing was left undone by the rail-
road company to protect the lives and
health of the workmen. No engineer
ing problem connected with the entire
New York tunnel extension received
more attention than the many precau-
lions to protect the hundreds of men
who. day and night, week days and
Sundays and holidays. bored the under
river tunnels. Down under many
fathoms of mud and rock the steel
tubes which are to land passengers
from the east and west into the heart
OF New York city were pushed steadily
forward with no more waste of time
than 1t took to change shifts"
Underwater work has fearsome
sound-to those who have never seen
| 1t going on. Talk to men who have
been engaged In 1t for years. and one
gets another idea. There are plenty
| who can speak with authority, for the
world was searched for men of expe-
rience to build the Pennsylvania tun-
neIs. On the cross town shafts sixty
Austrians who got their training in
the Simplon tunnel were employed.
There were engineers and foremen
here who had tunneled In Egypt.

New jersey, attaining a maximum
depth OF ninety-seven feet below mean

high speed traffic of great volume. was
an undertaking with little or no prece-
dent. To accomplish this work was a
most puzzling engineering problem on
account f.the soft mud through which
the tunnels We're driven under the
Hudson river.
The tunnels or tubes themselves con-
sfst of a series of iron rings, and the
installation of every ring meant an adj
vance of two and half feet Eleven
plates and a key piece at the top COM
plete the circumference, and an entire
ring weighs about fifteen tons. The
cast iron plates. or sections of the
ring. have hanges at right angles to
the surface, and 1t is through these
that the successive rings are held to-
gether with bolts. The record progress
/ IN one day of eight hours was FIVE of
these rings, or twelve and one-half
feet. Hydraulic rams, placed against
i the f1anges every few inches around
/ the tube, were used to push forward
/ the huge shields with which the tun-
/ neis were bored. Each shield weighed
194 tons. It had nine doors in 1t, and
Through these came the rock or sand
