Two million dollars for the river
and harbor projects Of Michigan are
recommended by Brig-Gen. William
II. BiXby, chief Of engineers, in his
annual report to congress. This
amount il is proposed TO appropriate
the coming winter, with the single
exception OF $19S,000 for South Ha-
ven, for which a continuing contract
is 10 be made The relative import
ance of the waterv Us OF Michigan is
shown by the fact that Gen. Bixby
proposes that the river and harbor
bill shall carry a total this winter OF
S22,227 Bel. The total to June 80.
1912, is $3O,O95,69S.
But the new policy of the corps of
engineers, backed by the administra-
ton, is amply reflected in the esti-
mates for Michigan. The authorities
have turned their backs on the little
river and harbor Improvements OF
great local but little general import
ance. They have turned their atten-
ton to the big things, with a view
TO hurrying them TO completion. SO
it is proposed that the Detroit river
get 1925 900; the new lock and canal
at the 500, 100000: the Saginaw
river Improvement, 100000: the COM

Wonderful Works of Science The Dreams of Yesterday Accomplished Today-Asonishing
 Results Coming From the Studio of Radium

When Radium was discovered so short a time ago the world little dreamed of the immense value to mankind this elu- sive substance would be.
 Chief of it's many virtues and curi- osities is its faculty of relieving man kind of old. perplexing, chronic dis eases which have hitherto been a stum- bling block to the most scientific thinkers.
 The time may be counted in months since the wonderful discovery was made that Radium had the property of i'm parting it's radio activity to almost any substance.
 Water being one of the best absorb ents of gas. 1t readily absorbs also the emanations of Radium, although 1t be separated from the water by being in- closed in a glass jar or aluminium tube and the tube placed in the water.
 It has been discovered that this wa ter becomes so impregnated with radio activity that 1t Is as efficient in the proper dose in relieving certain condi- ton as Radium itself externally.
 The fact has been ascertained that all the noted waters, such as Carls- bad, and other noted health resorts. owe their efficiency wholly to their degree when bottled and carried away. so that in two or three days they become inert. The most astonishing fact discovered by these scientists is that one does not have to visit any of these places for relief. because with tube of the proper radio activity this water may be made in such scientific manner that two teaspoon fuls equal two quarts of the best radi- um water of the Joachimstal district, thus putting it on scientific basis in regard to strength and dosage.

We are in honor bound to fortify it ourselves and only hv SO doing can we effectively guaran- tee it's neutrality and moreover e1Iect- yvelv guarantee that it shall not be used against us. The chief material dvantage-certainly one of the chief material advantages-which we snail cain bv its construction Is the way In which it will, for defensive purposes, double the power of the United States navy. To refuse to fortify 1t and above all to consider for moment such ar act of utter weakness and folly as 10 invite other nations to step III anu yuarantee the neutrality of this purely American work 1and thereby really 10 make it certain that in the event of war we should find the canal used n aeninst us. as our fleets would be for bidden to pass through 1t or else our opponents fleets permitted to) would be to incur and quite rightfully the contempt Of the world; 1t would mean the complete abandonment of the Mon- roe doctrine; 1t would be Wlcked blow to our prestige on the Paclnc and moreover, it would be an essence treason to the destiny of the re- public.
 q want the good will of all ma tions and I want to deserve 1t but in times of crisis I don't want to de- pend solely upon 1t.
 We built the canal ourselves. We don't have to ask anybody else to come in and say how 1t shall be used. If it was not our intention to have our say so in regard to the canal we had no business to undertake the work. It is not an act showing peaceful disposition to ask others what we should do. It is showing a timid dis position.

SMALL DECLINE IN
 COTTON FOR WEEK Prices Stay Up Until Crop Re
 port Is Issued
DIFFERENCE IN VIEWS
tember Does Not Indicate What the Yield Will Be By
 Any Mems

New Orleans, September 2.-Cotton this week closed at decline of 10 to P points under the closing of last week. Closing prices were within 1 to , points of the lowest levels of the week. which were reached immediately after the govern ment's report on the condition of the crop today The high prices of the week were made on Tuesday. No important fluctuations were seen and the extreme range of the most active months was over only 9 to g points. The bureau report on condition was the main feature of the week
 It put the condition of the crop or August 25 to 721 per cent of the normal, a figure that the trade as a whole had settled on before the bureau report was given out. This report the bears pro- fessed to be greatly pleased with and they figured that 1t indicated a crop of 13, 25o,000 bales. The bulls contention was that the September condition report was no good pointer to the size of the yield and cited the September report in 1903 as proof of their argument. The condi- ton of the crop in September in that year was S1.2 and yet the yield was only a few thousand bales over 100000. Fri days report caused little fresh trading.
 The annual statistics came out toward the weekend, Hester making the com mercial crop 10,610,000 bales, against 1S, S25,0OO last year and 11,572, 0OO two years ago. Consumption was put at 11,T4,0O0 bales against 13,157,0OO last year and 12,- 112,OO0 two years ago. Southern consump- tion was 167,OO0 bales in excess of north ern consumption, the figures being 2,3l,- 900 bales for the south and 2,174,O00 for the north. This caused some comment for last year the south consumed only 60O00 bales more than the north. The visible supply at the end of the season was 7s2,000 bales, against 1,472,000 last year and 9S9 900 two years ago. The total visi- ble and invisible supply was put at 1,s62,- GOO bales, against 9,052,o0O a year ago and 2,412O00 two years ago. These last fig ures the bulls claimed furnished a good foundation for a campaign in the new sea- son. The weekly statistics were bearish, the visible supply showing an increase for the week of 35,210 bales, against a decrease this week last year of 16,453 and an increase this week two years ago of 2957.
 The very large movement of cotton in Texas was an encouraging feature to the bear side throughout the week and 1t was responsible for the bearish varia- ton in the visible supply. Toward the week end, however, there were signs that the movement was slackening. Private dispatches claimed that farmers were refusing to follow the decline in the spot market.
 Spots lost three-quarters of a cent dur ing the week as the result of an adjust ment of old-crop quotations to new crop values. Middling closed at 144 cents against 15 cents last week and 12 7-16 cents this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 979 bales, against 753 last week and 920 this week last year; sales to arrive totaled 52S bales, against 426 last week and 722 this week last year.

dinary progress in craftsmanship and manuvering. So far from this increase in naval strength representing on our part either a menace of aggression to weaker nations or a menace of war to stronger nations, 1t has told most DOW erfuly for peace.
 Everywhere in Europe the cruise of the battleship fleet around the world was accepted, not only as an extraordinary feat, refecting the highest honor upon our navy, but as one of the movements which tended markedly to promote peace fu stability in international relations No nation regarded the cruise as fraught with any menace of hostility to itself; and yet every nation accepted it as a proof that we were not only desirous ourselves to keep the peace, but able to prevent the peace being broken at our expense. No cruise in any way ap- proa aching 1t has ever been made by any fleet of any other power; and the best naval opinion abroad had been that no such feat was possible: that is, that no such cruise as that we actually made could be undertaken by a fleet of such size without innumerable breakdowns and accidents. The success of the cruise performed as it was without a single ac- cident, immeasurably raised the prestige, not only of our feet but of our nation and was distinct help to the cause of International peace.

 "When I announced that the fleet was to go around the world there was a great outcry and it was said that the fleet should not sail, but the fleet did sail. Some of the men in the coordinate branch said I did not have the money for the voyage of the fleet. The answer was easy: said that we had money and that I was going to send the fleet tc the Pacific and if they did not want 10 appropriate money to bring 1t back that was their affair.

BANDIT KILLED IN
 ATTEMPT AT HOLD-UP.
Engineer of Train Hits the
 Robber With a Rock
TWO MEN ARE CAUGHT
After the Bandit Is Killed the Tram Crew and Passengers Make Rush to Aid the Wound
 ed Engineer

Colorado Springs, Colo, September z In a desperate attempt to hold up west bound Colorado Midland train No 5 four miles west of Divide, early thls morning an unknown bandit was ln- stantly killed by rock thrown by Engineer Frank Stewart after he hao shot the engineer In the leg.
 Sterling and Charles Martin, two young men, who were found near the scene of the hold-up, are held for investigation as to their complicIty Tn the robbery Sterling Martin was slightly wounded in the head by bull let.
 The highwayman crawled over the tender as the train slowed up at a siding to meet an eastbound train. AS he stopped the train Stewart turned to see his fireman, Paul Bachman, standing with his hands above his head and hear the robber say;
 Put up your hands or I'll blow your head off,
 The robber then forced both men to leave the engine and marched them before him to the express car.
 According to the story told by Stew art, who was brought to hospital, the robber ordered them to tell the express messenger they were in peril Of their lives; that the train had been held up. and the robber was deter mined to have the money in the eX- press car. Stewart states that the rob Der fired several shots at the heads of passengers who looked out to see what was happening.
 "When we got to the express car" said Stewart, my fireman dashed un- der the car and crawlcd to the other side. The robber leaned under the car to shoot at him and when he took his eyes off me I struck him with all my strength with rosk had picked up as I jumped off the tender. As l did so he whirled and shot at me, the bullet striking me in the leg l guess my blow finished him, for he never moved after the rock hit him. l must have fainted them, for the next l knew the conductor and express mes senger and a group of excited passen- gers were standing about me-
 When the remainder of the tram crew heard the shots they seized weap- ons and rushed to the head of the train firing as they came.
 Stewart was given immediate med . ical attention by physicians who were on board the train, and was brought to Colorado Springs. His condition is not serious. Shortly after the hold-up Sheriff Won Puhl and a posse secured the country near the scene of the at tempted hold-up and discovered the Martin brothers hiding in the brush.
 Sterling Martin was dazed by a bull let wound in the head. He Is out on parole from the state reformatory. The Martins claim they were riding the blind baggage and were eating their way to Grand Junction. They say Sterling Martin was struck by a stray bullet from the bandits gun. They are held for investigation.
 The dead robber wore cloth mask and a gunny sack tied about his neck He has not been identified.
 There was no unusual shipment of money in the express car but the ban dit told the fireman, as they marched along the train, that he intended tc rifle the passengers as well as the Wells-Fargo box
