Probable Taft's Plan Will Call for Big
Increases In Proposed Amount

Washington. Sept. l9.--lf President
Taft's plans for the fertilization Of the
Panama canal are carried out, u may
cost the United States nearer 100000
600 than the Sl4. .203 provided for
in the proposal sent to Congress last
April This last appropriation was an
increase Of s0.27G52l over the estimate
submitted IN 1905. by the national coast
defense board. OF which President Taft,
then secretary Of war, was chairman.
Twenty-Five millions Is a conservative
estimate OF what the final plans for
the combined sea and coast detenses
win call for. but. as experience has
shown the actual expenditures on con-
struction work in Panama TO be nearly
double the original estimates, the total
cost OF the forliications viii prohabiy
fan exceed that figure.
The sea-coast defenses now being
urged BY President Taft comprise the
following armament:
Ten l4-inch rifles. twelve 6-ineh rifles,
twenty eight l2-inch mortars, besides en-
elaborate system Of submarine defenses.
Six Of the l4-inch rifes-the most
powerful and costly gun in the world
viii be placed in pairs on the Pacific
coast and four on the Atlantic, like
wise in pairs.
Although the greatest secrecy is main
tanned concerning the fertilization plans,
II is known that the main fort defend.
ing the Pacific entrance, will be built
81 Sosa Hill and armed with four IL
inch rifles. six six-inch rifles and eight
pinch mortars. This fort will be
named Fort Amador. after the first
president 81 the republic Of Panama.
Two other I4-inch rifles win be placed
on Aneon hill. with smaller artillery,
and the islands Of Macs and Perico, IN
tic Bay Of Panama, viii also be forti-
fed
This plan was adopted 70 meet the

aud expressed his approval Of a number
Of the accomplishments by the Taft adj
ministration. Col Roosevelt did not in
dorse the administration as whole.
What he did have to say, however,
placed him on record for the first time
in regard to many Of the more impor-
tant features Of il, breaking the silence
which he had maintained steadiastly on
the subject except for his few brief ref.
erences to his successor, made while he
was on his western trip. He also de-
Tended his recent criticisms Of two deci-
sions Of the United States supreme
court, made in a speech in Denver, and
quoted the words Of William H. Taft,
written whom he was a Judge to support
his contention that the people have the
right 10 eriticise decisions OF the courts.
When Col. Roosevelt arrived at SYRIA
cuse from New York Saturday after
noon, the state fair grounds, on which
lie spoke, were thronged with crowd
which the officials Of the fair said num-
bered more than 10000. The huge grand
stands were filled and other thousands
were masaed on the field as near as they
could approach to the judges stand
from which the colonel delivered his adj
dress. Before he went 10 the stand, Col.
Roosevelt rode around the mile track
at the head Of parade and received
cordial welcome, although the Wild
cheers with which he was received in the
West were not given. For the most
part the people clapped their hands in

to his speech, however, the people grew
enthusiastic and cheered him repeatedly.

, 70 RACE HIeH IN AIR ovER LES.

Sure Death.

aviators viii compete in the great cross

Rhone valley III Switzerland, over the
simplon Pass and down into Italy,
crossing Lake Maggiore, to Milan.
Under the rules, the contestants may
start at any time, beginning yesterday.
until Sept. 26, but they must complete
the air journey to Milan in single
day
Many experts here regard the at
tempt as foolhardy, as the aviator must
rise about 1000 feet Immediately on
leaving the ground aud maintain that
altitude for not less than half an hour
to clear Simplon Pass.
Descent anywhere in the first 20 miles
Of the rocky, precipitous gorges would
mean almost certain death.
A meteorologist stationed on Simplon
during the past month, reports that the
peaks of the mountains are snow-clad
and the air currents strong and gusty.
Ia that time there have been only two
days in which the pass could be crossed
in safety. Pilots have calculated that
an altitude Of 1000 feet would reduce
the power Of motor per cent.
George Chavez. the Peruvian aviator,
will start in the monoplane with which
he recently made height record Of
1892 feet at Issv. He has been study
ing the route for two weeks He re-
CARDS the extreme cold Of the mountain
passes as the greatest difficulty
The other starters win be Cattaneo.
Palette. Wineziers and Weymann.
With the exception of Weymann, all
the aviators win use monoplanes.
The start will be made from a large
plateau, 300 feet above sea level. The
route follows the road built BY Napoleon

is 6.592 feet high st the summit. The

BOUNDARIES
ARE RERUn
OFFICERS OF DISTRICT NO. REC.
oMMEN0 FEW ADDITIONS
TO RESERVES.

A special committee of men en-
ployed in the offices of district No. /
of forest service began work yester-
day on the task Of checking up the
figures in the boundary work. which
has been practically completed Re
ports are in from all the national far
ests Of the district. with the exception
of one or two small areas. The baun-
Diary work was ordered last April by
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot, the
idea being to exclude any national for
esr lands which. upon examination.
should prove to be more valuable for
agricultural or grazing purposes than
as timber lands. Ii was also planned
to make additions to the forests of
any lands on the outside which should
be good only for the growth of tim
Der.
The task thus set by the forester
was huge one and work was COM
menced Immediately after the orders
had been received. Crews were placed
in the field to rerun the boundaries.
with orders to pay special attention to
contiguous lands which might prov.
worthy of addition to or elimination
from the forests. The work of ac-
tually rerunning the boundaries was
concluded several weeks ago, and since
that time the field men have been en-
gagged in working up their notes in the
district offices. Extra draughtsmen
have been added to the force to pre-
pare complete detail maps of each
forest, together with the essential
figures. A folio map of each forest
has been drawn, showing the timber
lands. agricultural lands and lands fit
for grazing, together with the recon-
mendations for elimination or addi-
ton. These maps are drawn on a
scale of one inch to the mile and are
very complete.
The district officials do not yet know
how the present boundaries of the for
ests will be affected. 1t is not prob
able that many additional lands will
be placed within the forest boundar-
les: in the states OF Idaho and Mon
tana, congressional action is neces-
sary to include public lands in the
limits of national forests. 1t is very
likely that a number of scattered areas
will be recommended for elimiEauon:
this can be done by a proclamation
from the president, who acts on rec
concentrations as he sees fit. The re-
ports and maps will be sent to Wash
ington in about two weeks, AFTER they
have been checked over by the special
committee now at work.
