LOCK AND DAM
NEAR BRYAN
Congressman Henry Wires Mr.. w. S
Howell of Progress Of Work to
Secure Brazos Navigation.
Washington. May s, 1918.

washington, May ., 1910
Mr.. w. S. Howell, Bryan, Texas.
Col. V. Richie says definitely he has
located sites for locks and dams Nos.
8 and 6, respectively, and his report
has been approved here this week by
Chief of Engineers Bisby. Lock No 3
is at the shoals near Mumford and
west of Bryan. Lock No. 6 is at the
foot of the falls in the Brazos River
about three miles west OF Marlin. This
action means prompt beginning OF the
actual construction of these locks and
dams and their speedy completion.
Ample funds have already been appro-
priated by Congress TO carry on the
work and additional sums will be
promptly secured as needed To the
present time this means that pro-
visions have been made for the con-
struction of four locks and dams in
a series of eight from Washington TO
Waco. Work should now proceed rap
idly on these four projects and within
the next year or two the other four
should be fully under way, and | feel
confident such will be the case. There
now apears to be no obstacle to the
early consummation of Brazos River
Navigation.

MUN|CH'S new. zGf
Animals Kept Under Conditions Of
Natural State.
Park Located In Bavaria's Capital City.
New Feature Of Gardens Is the
Terrace Where Lions and
Tigers Roam.

Munich, Bavaria--A noteworthy
geological garden has OF late been
added to the many interesting sights
Of Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
The animals will be kept as far as pos
sible under the conditions of their.
natural state. This park will be n
practical combination of technical
skill and artistic beauty.
To the south of the city, where the
air is laden with the perfumes of the
great forests which cover the hills and
dales of the Bavarian Alps, and on
the banks of the River Isar, which
rushes down foaming and roaring
from the mountains, in still solitude
may be found the most beautiful land
scape in the environs of Munich. Pine
trees, hundreds of years old, together
with silver birches and knotty viii
lows and poplars. form a forest, and
beyond farstretching green meadows
rises mighty mountain terrace at
the foot OF which are clear, bubbling
springs.
This charming spot was chosen for
the laying out of geological garden
ten years ago, when its present direo~
tor. Lieut-Col MANI, commenced the
preliminary work. A few years later
the well known architect, Prof Emaa-
uel Won Seidl, took over the artistic
and architectural part of the work.
The park has now been opened to the
public for the last two years, not.
however, without having found much
trouble and opposition.
Coming to an open space In the
woods herd of buffaloes is found.
Further along are stays from the
mountains of Asia and wild bears from
the forests Of Europe and India
In close vicinity OF the buffaloes
from America are kept specimens OF
the European bison from the swamps
Of Russia, the zebra and antelope
from India, while swimming birds from
oil parts OF the world are on the lakes
and black swans, pelicans and gulls
and many other kinds of fancy water
fowl.
The natural character OF the land
scape has been preserved everywhere,
and the animals have as much liberty
and freedom as is possible under the

But the curtain rose on the kermess

the stage-manager to 40 away. When
the two were alone again. Monchar-

circumstances. To prevent the AMI
mails from escaping. the necessary
fences have been erected but these,
however, do not in the least prevent
the visitors from enjoying an unob-
structed view of the animals. In fact.
the bars and fences, which always
give the impression of cages. have in
many instances been done away with
and In their place deep and wide
water basins with high walls have
been erected, thus completely seperat-
ing tho animals from the spectator.
The polar bears can be seen under
a wooded hill in grotto OF rocks and
not far from them are the sea lions,
the diving tricks of which are causing
the public. and especially the children,
n great deal Of amusement.
The Wild sheep from the African
mountains and the chamois OF the
Bavarian Alps are found in suitable
surroundings of wood clad hills. and
II is extremely interesting to watch
these animals climbing and jumping
up and down the steep rocks.
A new feature of these geological
gardens is the lions terraces. Hero
the architect has followed a new idea.
In an old temple with columns and
walls and hidden corners can be seen
dark named lions and the stealthy
forms of tigers haunting the ruins.
An up-to-date restaurant in the gar
dens was also designed and built by
Prof. Seidl. From the terraces of this
restaurant beautiful view over tho
park can be obtained. The background
Is formed by mountain ranges, tower
ing into the clear atmosphere like
mighty walls; their slopes. covered
with green verdure and woods, pre-
sent beautiful panorama.

DATES FOR BRITISH
GOLF tourney ISSUED
Final Arrangements for Important
European Championship Matches
Are Announced.

Dates for the most important Of the
European golf championship tourna-
ments have been decided, together
with the courses selected. The British
open. in which several American pro-
fessionals are expected to compete.
will be held at the Royal Liverpool
Golf Club. Hoiyoke, June 19 to "a. The
British amateur championship will be
played at historic St Andrews. begin
ming May 26. while the women's meet
ing is scheduled to begin on June at
ST. Anne-on-Sea.
A month following the British anna =
teur championship the French anna =
teur competition will begin at La
Boullie. which will enablee the party of
Americans who are planning to visit
Europe this spring to spend a month
at golf before making try at the
French title. which is considered a
possibility. The French open. how
ever. will be held long after the Brit
ish meeting: in fact. the dates are Oc-
tober 13 and IA at Chantilly. which
will preclude the American pros who
visit Britain from competing for the
French honor unless ii happens that
the French affair is switched to an
earlier date. Thus il is that the
American acceptance of the French in
vitation to compete at La Boullie prob
ably will be in the nature of an in
ternational match between profession
al teams. which in itself marks an
epoch in the game.
The American amateur championship
is carded for Garden City the week be-
ginning September l. Labor Day.
which will, permit any American de-
string to do so to compete in the
championships of France. England, and
the United States.

Wanderers Defeat Quebec.

New York. March 15.-The Wanderers,
of Montreal, defeated the Quebecs, of
Quebec, holders of the Stanley Cup, for
the $500 purse in their match at the
st. Nicholas Rink. the second and final
game of which was contested tonight.
The Wanderers came into the lion's
share of the prize by scoring the great
er aggregate of goals. They totaled IL
goals. while the Quebecs scored 10 goals
in the two games.
The game was desperately fought on
both sides.
Art Ross was back in the lineup for
the Wanderers, and his brilliant exhibit
ton of defensive play was one Of the
evenings features.
