In his younger days Tom Norton had
the reputation of being a thrifty, hard
working man. But, like many of his
neighbors, he owned a still hidden
somewhere in the mountains, which
he was accustomed to work at odd mo-
ments Gradually as the years went
by he came under the influence of his
own Installations and spent more time
in the mountains and less on the farm.
And instead of being a source of reve-
nue. the still was the reverse.

BIXBY'S ESTIMATES FOR I'M PROVEMENTS CALL FOR
 OVER $22,ooo,ooo.
NOTHING FOR CHANNEL
Report of Chief of Engineers Makes No Reference to Deep Waterway Project From Lakes
 to Gulf.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Estimates for river and harbor improvements for the fiscal year to end July 1, 1912, as submitted in the annual report of Gen. w. H. BiXby, chief of engineers, U. s. A., made public, total $22227,. S61.
 No specific appropriation is asked for the lakes to the gulf deep water ways project nor for the Houston (Tex) ship channel.
 Estimate Said to Be Low.
 The estimate, the report states, is made extremely low, as it is expected that in the future this work will be provided for by fixed annual appropri- ation. Only 211 projects are selected by General Bixby as worthy of an ap- propriation next year. Of the total estimate made, it is proposed to spend maintenance of completed works in 196 localities. The bulk of the re- maining money is to go largely for work on the Ohio, Mississippi, Della ware and Columbia rivers, to eleven of the most important harbors.
 Figures in Detail.
 Among the more important esti- mates are:
 For the Ohio river-for work on locks and dams, $1,550.000; for operat- ing expenses, maintenance, etc, S2,- 000,000. Besides this congress is asked to authorize the placing of con tracts for future work amounting to $S000,0 900. There are two special es- inmates, one of $I55000 for lock and dam No. 26 and one of $229, 900 for open channel work.
 For the Mississippi river work be- tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, s240,- GOO; between Minneapolis and the Missouri river, $1.250,000; between the Ohio and Missouri rivers, $1,000,- GOO; improvements of the Southwest pass of the Mississippi, $450,000, and preservation work on Southwest pass, $450,0O0.

ROADS TO RAISE RATES
Proposed Change Puts Chicago Nearer New York LeveI-Advance Fron,
 25 to 33 Per Cent.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Transcontinental railroad officials, in session in Chi cago. are planning to raise the freight rates between Chicago. New York, Boston and other eastern points to California and the Pacific coast The contemplated advance is from 25 to 8 per cent.
 The plan is to increase rates all along the line, but to make New York and the east bear the brunt of the raise. The existing through freight rate from both Chicago and New York is s3 a hundred pounds. It is pro posed to increase the rate from Chi cago to s3.50 and from New York to s4. In effect this is to seek shelter from the long and short haul provi- sion in the last railroad measure.
