How Machinery is Repaired and Great Tools Built at Panama

Among the interesting features or
Empire are the air CO mpressors which are
supplying about three hundred million
cubic feet OF pure air every month. There
are three of these plants, one at as
Cascades, one at Rio Grande ana an
other at Empire. They feed ltuge pipe
which runs from one end of the Culeora
cut to the other. and through other pipes
supplies the air for the drills and otner
pneumatic tools, h.ohsts and also the
shons. They are now working 1S0 drills
This compressed air is taken through
complicated system OF pires. much
of which has to be taken up and re
laid every month. The main pipes OF
both air and water run along each SIDE
of the cut, and they are carried across
the cut from one bank to the other on
a bridge not far from Empire. 1T takes
about 100 men to keep the piping and
water service In order. and ths pipes
have to be watched night and day for
leaks and breaks.

rs CHINA ARoUsING HERSELF?

Tie Chinese republic is getting into
the game of nations pretty Quickly
Already it has taken the aggressive in
a military way, and has dispatched a
fleet of warships to Java to make a
demonstration against the Dutcn gov
eminent of that island, where Chinese
are said to have been badly treated
The Chinese have made reasonably
discr eet choice of their first Euro
pean antagonist, for the Dutch main
tain no great military establishment.
Nevertheless the threat of the new
republic to lombard Batavia, the prin-
cipal city of Java, is hardly seriously
made. and against such action, at
least. the Dutch are amply prepared
to protect themselves and to require
reparation. Probably the Chinese
government intends to do no more
/ than assert an aggressive interest In
the welfare of citizens of the repub-
| lie N foreign lands, and in this pur-
pose it has made a good beginning.
Such activity of the national govern
ment will doubtless serve very we'll
to give confidence in it at home and
to attract support and even to inspire
measure of patriotism, the one great
need to Chinese national efficiency.
China has been so long the goat OF
the western nations that it is more
than ordinarily interesting to see il
butting back.

THE PAST AND THE PRESENT

Ia 1905 Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts, the intimate friend
for years of Col Theodore Roosevelt.
then president Of the United States,
was temporary president of the re-
publican national convention, assem-.
bled at Chicago. His business was, as
is usual with the temporary chairman
of political convention, to sound the

with characteristic efficiency. paying

then ending and especially 'extolling
the man who for seven years had been
at the head of the nations affairs.
THE climax of his eulogy of the pres
ident was contained in these woros:
Nothing has added so much to his
just fame as his persistent and ire
vocaole refusal to break the unwritten
law OF the republic by accepting a
nomination for a third term. BY this
act Of self abnegation he pl1ces his
name and fame in the secure keeping
of history by the side of that of the
immortal Washington"
Fo Ir years later the same Theodore
Roosevelt is an open, active and yio-
lent candidate for the republican
nomination for third term as presl-
dent, on platform of political prin-
ciples the most radical and revolu-
tionary ever offered by a man who

remains a firm and faithful personal

I cal doctrines which the former pres

GO[LMAR BROS.
CIRCUS PARADE

Those who are disposed to be skepti-
Cal regar ling the size and merit of the
Gollmar Brothers Circus will have all
doubts dispelled by seeing the tremen-
dous spectacular street display given
by that concern on the principal
streets of this city Saturday, May 4.
The pageant of the Gollmar Broth
ers is complete surprise. 1t is a
lengthy professional array, such as
can only be produced by the Fortunate
combination OF unlimited wealth,
undaunted courage, original ideas
and determination to eclipse all
similar displays. That the Gollmars
have succeeded in achieving their pur
pose is generally conceded. Their
parade is like their circus. "The
highest class in the world"
Instead of the wooden dens, the
Gollmar Brothers adopted the monster
steel cages and dens, each one being
almost as large and as strong as the
average rallrOaQ car.
The Gollmars were among the first
showmen to make a feature of fine
horses. They were first to make
feature of the ever attractive Shetland
ponies and this season have in parade
and "horse fairn more of these
children pets than are TO be found
with all other circuses.
Managed under lofty IDEAS, it is not
strange that the length, brilliancy,
attractiveness and instructiveness of
the matchless Gollmar Brothers
parade is revelation to all who have
never seen it, while tae constant
pregressiveness of this amusement
institution also astounds those who
have witnessed it annually.

There was a tragedy on the Glen

it be.
AS the information comes a number

shooting at a mark up the Baraboo
river. Earl Simonds, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. 9. Ell. Simonds, was one of the
number as was also Edward Dahl who
