Washington, Aug. 7.--Work Of for
tifying the Panama canal is now at
tracing the serious attention Of the
military authorities Since the return
of the canal defense board. of which
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff Of the army is president, the
sites for the fortifcation and land de-
fenses have been approved and au-
thority has been granted for the
preliminary work to begin at once.
AS result of the recent visit of the
defense board to the canal for a sec
ond and more thorough inspection as
to the location Of sites and 20 make
an estimate Of cost for the project
the important decision has been
reached and approved by the war de-
be carried out by the isthmian canal
commission and the big force of men
employed on the work of construct.
ing the great interocean waterway
across the isthmus. Colonel Goethals,
chief engineer Of the canal, las been
nal defense board, and he has been
authorized to assume charge Of all
operations. upon instructions Issued
by General Wood as president OF the
board.
LeVellng Begins Today.
Since the sites for the fortihcations
have been definitely decided upon, the
canal commission has promptly be-
gun the surveys, and the work Of lev.
cling the sites began today. Six
sites have been selected. four at the
Pacific entrance, all on Islands at
the entrance, to the canal, and two
on the points opposite ,Cristobal and
Colon. at the Atlantic entrance
The most important feature OF the
fortificatiGn problem yet remains to
be solved, howeyersTh is the ques-
ton of the number and ca!iber OF
guns. Nothing'.less than Pinch cali
ber will be used, however, and this
size will be confined to, the inortars.
The disappearing guns will be either
of the new type OF l4-inch gun which
was recently adopted by the army,
and there is strong probability that
this size may even be increased to
guns Of l6-inch caliber, weapons
larger than any now IN uqe any
where. This question will be deter.
mined largely by the estimates that
are now being prepared which are
to be based On maximum CT s12,'
100000 for the entire fortificatlon
and defense project. II Is expected
that the question Of the size and
number Of guns will be determined
within the next week.

HORSE HOLDING OWN
AGAINST AUTOMOBILE.

From the ever increasing number
OF automobiles being used one would
naturally be led to believe that the
horse is fast becoming thing OF the
past. 1t certainly sounds logical to
argue that automobiles are doing the
work formerly done by horses, and
that the horses. whose places they
have usurped. have been relegated to
the discard.
An authority In discussing the mat.
ter today said that Just, as many
horses are being bred now, as at an,
time previous, and that the price has
not only held as strong. but has In.
creased nearly two.told. Ahorse that
twenty years ago could be bought for
500, or: sl2a today. Is valued at least
$780,. Another proof OF the demand
for horses Is the fact, that hay and
grain COS: more now, .bh q large per-
centaGe. than has been the case for
many years. OF course, the crops,
have been poor for the last several
years, but not sufficiently SO to per-
nit OF the advanced price, under. up.
parent, conditions. II every automo.
bile used in the United States con-
sumed as much hay and grain as that
many horses, our grain crops would
prove far too short TO meet the de-
mand. 81
L. D"
A local livery, stable owner in dis.
cussing the matter today said that
the only way In which he could feel
the effect OF automobiles was in the
falling of of his earrlage trade, Be,
