thals, chief engineer of the Panama
canal, in report to the war depart
ment today reiterated the hope he ex-
pressed some time ago that he would
pass a ship through the canal before
the close of the present year. The
statement came in response to an in
curry from Secretary Garrison as to
whether it would be possible to grant
the request of Captain Amundsen, the
explorer, that he be allowed to take
his ship, Franz through the canal when
lie starts for the Antarctic regions from
the west coast of South America next
winter:

Thompson and TrimbIe
In Contest Over Local
Option Election.
Case will Likely Be Appealed
By Dry'S" to Higher Court.

On last Friday, Judge Allie w.
Young handed in his judgment in
the local option contest, upholding
the opinion rendered some months
ago by Esquires g. G. Thompson
and John G. Trimble, as a ma
jority of the Contest Board,
knocking out the election held
fiere September 80, 1912, in which
the ''drys" won by a majority OF
oyer two to one. The grounds re-
lied upon by the "wets" were that
the original petition did not con-
tain twenty-five per cent. of the
legal voters in several precincts,
many voters having withdrawn
their names and that the "drys''
had no right to amend the origi-
nal petition by substituting names
in lieu of those who withdrew. 1t
is thought an appeal will be ia
ken by Judge E. 9. O'Rear upon
behalf of the temperance people,
in which event a hearing cannot
be had until the January, 1914
term of the Court of Appeals, and
guaranteeing licenses for at least
another year. 1t has also been
suggested by a number of temper
ance workers that the appeal be
prosecuted and that an effort be
made at the same time to call an
election for the middle of Deem
Der.

OFFICIALS
ON THE JOB
Engineers and Financial
AGENTS of Govern
ment Here.
Work to Start as Soon as PrdC-
tiCabIe.

L h e Government engineers,
Messrs. David Hare and Mack
Galbreath, and financial repre-
sentative, r. E. Toms, have been
in the city for several days and
have started the survey for the
work of reconstructing the Mays
vile pike from this city to Sharps.
burg, and it is thought the survey
will be completed by next week.
The agreements between the Fiscal
Courts of Montgomery and Bath
counties and the U. S. Govern
ment have been signed and sent to
Washington for the signature of
the proper officials there and as
soon as same have been received
the work will be advertised and
bids taken for same. The work
will be let on the unit basis and
not as a whole. At meeting of
the Business Mems Club and a
number of the people living on the
Maysville pike, held at the court
house Monday afternoon, Mr..
Toms, the financial agent of the
Government, gave very interest
ing talk, telling how the contracts
would be let, how wide the road
would be, the manner in which
the Government required the road
to be built by machinery, etc. He
said it would take probably three
weeks to get the work started in
Montgomery county and that work
would start in Bath county about
two weeks later. He also explain
ed that Bath county required more
fills and grading than Montgomery
county and that the work there
would not be finished until next
spring. He said, however, that
the road would be put in a great
deal better condition Immediately
than it had been in several years.
1t had been suggested that the road
machinery of the county be used
in the work but Mr.. Toms ex-
planned that the machinery on
hand was not sufficient for this
character of work and that the ex-
pense of buying additional ma
chinery, such as steam drills,
scrapers, scarafers, etc.. would be
too great, and that the work must
be done by construction companies
who are equipped for work of this
kind.
President W. r. Thompson APP
pointed Messrs. Prewitt Young
and Clarence White as a commit
tee to 90 with Mr.. Toms to ar
range for quarry and water rights
along the pike, and it is hoped
that the people living along the
pike will donate both.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely clos ed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
