PAYING A BET
WASHINGTON STATE MAN PUSHES
ANOTHER 30 MILES IN WHEEL
BARROW TO PAY WAGER.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 24.-Ordi-
nary election bets are tame compared
with one just fulfilled by Roy McCamp-
bell of Okanogan, Wash. Escorted by
a drum corps and by half the town and
country population, McCampbell made
a 30-mile hike from OkanOgan to Ton
asket. The walk itself would not have
been so bad if he had not been compelled
to use himself as motive power for a
goregOusly trimmed and canOpied wheel
barrow, with the stars and stripes float
ing triumphantly above. Not only that,
but comfortably enscOnced among all
the finery was George Hopkins. a full
grown man who won the bet. The
wager was laid on the probable date of
entrance into OkanOgan of the New Orc
vile Wenatchee branch of the Great
Northern railway. If the line had
reached Okanogan by April 10 Hopkins
would have been the motive power, with
McCampbell his passenger. Mr.. Nc
Campbell is coroner in his county.

the muddy bottom of Chesapeake bay.
longing for oysters is tabooed after to-
day. The season is officially closed.
Down the Potomac the big fleet of
oyster boats is closed up, except for those
which will make a living for their own
erns during the closed season as pleasure
boats at the various summer resorts
along the river. Experts explained today
that it takes four years for an oyster to
'get its growth" and become fit for mar
ket. The few oysters which will be eaten
during the summer will come from the
private beds which are tended with all

WOULD PASS CANAL
AMUNDSEN HAS INQUIRED IF TT
WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO PASS
CANAL THIS YEAR.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a
Colonel Cocktails, chief engineer of the
Panama canal, in a report to the wal de-
partment, reiterated the hope he ex-
pressed some time ago that he would
pass a ship through the big ditch before
the close of the present year. The state
ment came in response to an inquiry
from Secretary of War 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. the Fran. through the canal when
he starts for the anarctic regions from
the west coast. of South America next
winter.
Colonel Goethals said: "The opining
of the Panama canal for the passage Of
vessels has always been predicted on
the question of slides and the completion
of the lock gates. The present schedule
contemplates admitting the water into
Culebra cut early in October and the
completion of one flight of locks at
either end of the canal by that same
date. The passage of boats then de-
ponds upon the condition of the slides.
1t is hoped that We will be able to pass
a ship before the close Of the year. and
if this can he accomplished. the Fran
will have no difficulty in making the
transit Of the canal. and every facility
will be offered for its doing So

CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF

ENGLISH FLEET ON LAKE ERIE

COMMEMORATE BRILLIANT EX-
PLOT OF YOUNG NAVAL OFF,

FLEET BEFRE ENGAGING EN-
ENVY.
Especial to The Hcrdld.)

ERIE, Pa, April 25.-Residents of
the south shore of Lake Erie today began
active preparations to properly cele-
brate the anniversary of the victory of
Commander Perry over the British fleet
loo years ago this summer. The celebra-
ton will mark also the anniversary of
the 6rst peace pact made between Great
Britain and the United States which re
moved warships and all signs of war
from the chain of Great Lakes and where
peace has ruled along 1000 miles OF
lake front without cannon or warship to
vaingloriOusly emphasize it. 1t is
planned to make the coming celebration
rs much one of peace without expensive
naval display and equipment as one of
the victory of Perry.
Erie, by virtue of being the harbOr
from which Perry sailed after con
structing his fleet here, will soon see
the beginning of the celebration which
will last for one week beginning July
6. After the ships were built here, the
crews were recruited and the then great
dogsof- war labOrlOusly transported over
the sandbar and out into the lake to
tight the British fleet which had been
pouring a muredrOus fire into the help
less villages and towns all along the
skore. When the situation became too
severe, Captain Daniel DObbins rode on
horseback to Washington where he
asked for an appropriation to provide
q. feet for the lakes. 1t was only after
eloquent pleading that the money was al
lowed and the work of building the fleet
begun.
Then Commander Perry, a dashing
young naval officer from Rhode Island,
was sent to take command. A mule train
load Of powder was sent from Whining
ton, Del, to the fleet which made his
tory. That same train of wagons which
carried the powder 100 years ago has al
ready has left Wilmington to be used in
the coming celebration.
Following a week Of fireworks and
military m~aneouvers, the famous old
Niagara, the Perry flagship after the
sinking of the Lawrence, will be escort
ed to Put-in-Bay. The Perry memorial
erected by the government at a cost of
nearly half a million dollars, will be
dedicated. High military and naval Off
Gals will take part. Secretary of War
Garrison and his staff will be, among
The distinguished visitors and President
Wilson has promised the Erie committee
Ne. will be here for the day. In addition
to a large number of organizations from
the regular army militia from New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania will be en-
camped here for the week. Several uni
formed fraternal orders nave also set
their annual e%ncampments to be held
here.

scoring 81 points to their IL. The
visitors could not get used to the floor
and our boys ran all around them,
making baskets at their own sweet will.
The Mandan boys are athletic looking
chaps and seem to know the basketball
science and no doubt put up a good
game on their W floor. Our boys play
a return game there next Friday even
ing. McCutchan played center tor the
local team in place of Soules who played
as forward. Roquette kept the scorers
busy counting his baskets and Nichols
and Wiley had no trouble in guarding
their men.

WORK BEING PUsHED
on ~. m MCKENZIE co.

Work on the tunnel near the Yellow
stone is progressing rapidly. The work
men went under on the west side about
q week ago and have quite 4 hole OPEN
ed up. On the east side the men have
not yet gone under gro und but will do
80 in a few days. On the west side
both a day and a night shift are work
ing. With day and night shifts on both
ends of the tunnel it is estimated that
it will be al easy matter for them to
clear away ten feet per day. At tn t
rate the tunnel will be completed by
July list next. Across the river on the
west bank of the Yellowstone the Un-
ion Bridge & Construction Co. have a
regular little city and train loads of
material are being brought in almost
daily. The sandhogs are at work in the
bottom of the river on the east pier site.
Air pressure is being used to resist the
water pressure and the workmen who
are preparing the river bottom. work
under this air pressure. Three eight
hour shifts are in operation. The bridge
piers may not be completed before the
ice goes out but that will not delay con-
struction any great length of time.
After the high water goes down the
building of the piers will continue and
it is very likely that these will be COM
pleted and the structural iron in place
by the time the tunnel is bored through.
