Plans for Flag Raising.

Plans have been completed for a flag
raising on Washington and Lee public
schools Tuesday afternoon next at
o'clock by Alexandria Council, NO. .,
Fraternal Order of Americans. The
members of the order Will proceed in a
body to Lee Public School at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. and the flag will be
presented by either Judge ]. II. Trim
yer or Judge c. Z. Nicol. They will be
headed by the boys of Washington Pub.
lie School. Speeches of acceptance Will
be made by DIR. W. NJ. Smith of the
board of aldermen and Conrad Johnson
principal of Lee Public School The flag
raising at Washington Public School Will
not be marked by any exercises.
The annual closing exercises OF the
Alexandria Free kindergarten took
place this morning at the public school,
and the forty eight little tots who at
tended during the year received their
work of the year mounted. Following
a program of music, singing and reci-
tations, the little ones were given
treat to ice cream and cake. which
brought the exercises to close.

The Chagres river is moody old stream.

shallow and quiet that boy of ten could
wade across 1t: while tomorrow 1t may be-
come a torrential river. with a sustained
flow Of $4,000 cubic feet second. How
to build q spillway that will pass such an
enormous amount of water down from an
eighty -hve-foot level to sea level without
harming any detail Of the works was a
problem which called for the highest
engineering skill 1t is true that Gatun

of the lake may be increased seven feet
above normal without doing any damage.
1t thus will appear that spilllWay ac-
commodating less than the maximum flow
Of the Chagres might meet every situa-
tion the future will bring forth.
But the engineers. with characteristic
determination always to err on the side
Of safety. II at all. are constructing a
spillway over which more water may
be discharged than ever has been known
to be brought down by the Chagres
river.

Culebra cut, to Gatun. When Gatun dam
is completed this entire section of the
river will be wiped off the map. 1t will
lose itself in the waters Of Gatun lake
at Gamboa Even at it's highest stages
it will have comparatively little effect
on the currents Of the lake.
The spillway at Gatun will have con-
crete dam of crescent shape. sur
mounted by thirteen large piers and two
big abutments. These divide the crest
of the dam into fourteen openings. or
bays, which may be opened or closed
independently OF each other by huge valve
gates so delicately mounted as to reduce
friction to a minimum. Each OF these
gates will be capable of regulating the
flow Of 1900 cubic feet of water. After
solving the problem of passing the water
through the gates, each of which is
forty-five feet wide, the next question
which arose was how to check the cur
rent of the stream when 1t went out upon
the apron OF the spillway, SO as to pre-
vent It's doing damage. for, unobstructed.
the velocity of the water would be thirty
Ave feet a second. 1t was decided to
build across the apron of the spillway
two rows OF battle piers made of con-
crete and faced on the upstream side
with cast-iron plates. A small model OF
the Gatun spillway has been placed in
oper alton, and the practical results ad-
here closely to those forecast by en-
gineering theory.

siderably more than half OF that amount
already Is In position. During the fiscal
year 1910 more than 100000 yards of
material were placed in the dam. Con-
struction was begun by building two
lines OF stone retaining walls across the
valley, 1900 feet apart. Between these
two walls. which are known technically
as t. toes" OF the dam, millions Of
cubic yards Of sand and clay are being
pumped to make the core Of the dam.
This IS being done by huge. twenty-inch
centrifugal pumping dredges. AS the
dam rises from its foundations a large
pond VIII be maintained on its crest into
which the materials will be pumped: The
water Will run off and the material ii
contains Will remain on the dam
In this way the engineers have a per-
petual guarantee that the dam they are
building Is water-tight and safe. With
vast quantities Of water on top of the
dam 1t Is plain that If there are any
assures or other weak spots the water
will seek them out and show them UP.
Here again the wisdom OF the engineers
has been vindicated-the material is more
impervious to water than they promised 1t
should be. 1t becomes almost as hard
as concrete and forms a core that water
cannot get through. The natural cement
held in suspension by the dredged water

About year ago Mrs. N. s. Nc
Cready, president Of the Cosmopolitan
club Of Snohomish, WASH, appointed
Mrs. l.. D. Stokes superintendent to or
ganize the Junior Civic league in the
Emerson school, The pupils in the four
rooms in that building did some very
efficient work In destroying noxious
weeds, such as the Canadian thistle.
Mrs. II. A. Small, principal Of the
Central school, was made superintend-
ent Of the league in her building. Talks
were made to the pupils on sanitation
and neatness, and they were urged to
begin the good work In their own
homes. The pupils were required to
give written reports of the work done.
Out Of number of 500 children In the
building 315 reported work done. This
work appealed to the city council. and

One of the most important financial
took place Friday when the reorgan-
ization of the Chehalis Couny bank
was effected. BY the deal w. J. Pat
terson, head of the Hayes & Hayes
and United States National banks, be-

deem, and A. L. Paine of Hoquam.
Mr.. Nyere comes to Aberdeen from
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he was
connected with trust company. He
came west some time ago looking for
investment, and settled on Grays Har-
Dor as the district where he would
place his money Mr.. Ripley has been
cashier with Hartman & Thompson. a
Portland banking firm He arrived last
night to enter upon his duties.
Work of reorganizing the Chehalis
County bank has been going on for

:. The new road to be opened up
connecting Garrard Creek with the

FINANClERS AND WAR,

The men who make the war

Of their creditors. There Is no
danger Of war. but there is grave
danger that the war debt will be
