LOSING APPETITE FOR NUTS
Ancient Fendness That Made
Winter Evenings a Joy.

The old butternut very rich and
fragrant nut OF the olden time, has al
most disappeared. Very few people of
the present generation have ever tast-
ed a butternut. The black walnut is
becoming fewer, and in a generation
hence it will hardly be known. And
yet it is a precious nut, full Of good
ness and rare taste. Those old pans
OF cracked walnuts, in the long win
ter evenings, made up family JOY
that has never been surpassed. The
hickory nuts, especially the good old
shellbarks, figured prominently in
those nutty days. and the chestnuts,
too, including the hazel nuts and
beech nuts; but they are all growing
scarcer, and have sadly strayed away
from the human heart.
The pecan is becoming the great
American nut There are thousands
of trees cultivated in the south, and
the nut has become commercially i'm
portant. Trees are reported bearing
5000 TO $500 worth of nuts per acre.
1t is rich nut, but quite too hard for
the novice TO pick out the kernels.
There are, however, machines that do
the work perfectly But, after all, for
rich, well-favored and grand mouth
fuls of nuts, give us the English wal
nut.-Ohio State Journal

This will be done with suction dredges

There still remain some finishing
touches TO be placed upon the locks
but this work will take comparatively
little time and presents no engineer
ing difficulties such as nave oeeh en-
countered in the past
The fact that the canal stands prac-
tically complete more than year be-
fore the time originally set as the
date for its completion Is one OF tne
remarkable features of the WORK
When Count de Lesseps. the great
French engineer, abandoned his ef-
forts TO build the Panama canal after
eight years OF labor. he had scarceIy
made beginning upon the gigantic
task In nine years. the American
engineers. starting almost at the same
point as de Lesseps. for the latter's
work was OF little value to the Ameri-
cans. have virtually completed the
undertaking. When the work was
started the world scoffed at the idea
that II could be completed within the
time limit set. but hats are now on

spite unforeseen difficulties that have
beset them at every hand.
Goethals to Make Final Test.
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be boat of the
lsthmian canal commission, Col.
George w. Goethals, chairman of the
COMMISSION and chief engineer OF the
canal, and his principal assistants.
The final voyage through the canal is
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month 1t is
expected the waters in Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage Of the largest ships.
1t Is said that as long ago as the
early part of August assurances were
given Washington officially that II the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleship fleet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within GO days from that date The
work has been hurried With that end
in view, 1t is said. as no emergency
has existed. but this assurance is an
Indication of the belief of the engi-
neers that their work is now practical

Culebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation of the Culebra cut
into which the water has just been
turned, has been one Of the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
OF the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9th
er portion of the big ditch" Tc
Col d. d. Gaillard. the engineer OF
the central division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion of the
work through TO a successful termina
ton.
The disastrous slides in the GU
were discouraging to the engineers
multiplying In few hours the work O
many weeks, but Colonel Gaillard ant
his assistants have kept untiringly a
their work. and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks OF the deeI
cut. The engineers believe that thu
danger OF slides will be eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut.
A little more than a month ago tn

work in the Culebra cut. Since tina
time the workmen have been bus

Which Holds Gatun Lake Out

Colon, Panama, Oct 1.-The climax
Of nine years of untiring work on the
part OF the men who have been build
Ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters of Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut. This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
ton of the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
into the cut today through four 26-
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie, which has held the
waters OF the lake back from the cut
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie is
finally removed
The final destruction OF the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10. when
charges OF dynamite placed in holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
ploded The explosion OF these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but will weaken 1t and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force OF the
waters from Gatun lake will carry II
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants OF the dixie. leaving an open
passageway from ocean TO ocean.

Although the canal will not be off

waterway to the commerce OF the

as may be allowed to pass through.
Immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake. the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut. is
the pivotal point about which the en-
tire canal system revolves, and the
creation of this lake. together with the
constr elton of Gatun dam. consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
in the construction of the canal.
Gatun lake is an artificial body OF
water covering about 164 square miles
of territory and was created by the
building Of the immense Gatun dam
and the lmpounding of the wild wa
tiers of Chagres river. Beneath the
waters OF Gatun lake lies what a few
months ago was the valley OF the
Chagres. dotted with native villages
and plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake for a
ing from 500 to 1000 feet.
At the northern end OF the lake
is the Gatun dam. which is in reality
an artificial ridge more than a mile
and half long. Figures alone give
an adequate idea OF the magnitude OF
this dam. Nearly half a mile wide at
its base, about 400 feet wide at the
water surface. and 100 feet wide at
the top, the dixie which many engi-

OVER 800 AUTOS AT FAIR.
Fayette Fair Brings Two Motor Cars
to One Horse Driven Vehicle
on Thursday.

Auto, auto, who's got the auto?
The Iowa farmer, of course. The
returns from the Fayette county fair
prove it. Last Thursday saw the big
geSt crowd ever assembled in West
Union for any purpose, and it being
the county fair the crowd represent
ed of course the farming population
of Fayette county. OF every three
vehicles that entered the fair ground
that day two were motor-propelled
70 one that was horse-drawn. The
autos beat the teams two to one and
one over. Moreover, the ass cars
that were counted leaving the fair
grounds do not tell the whole story,
for not less than seventy-five motor
cars were counted parked outside the
grounds.
The vehicle tickets taken at the
gate on Thursday were $50 in num-
Der, J. NJ. Tope, one of the gate
keepers, at the request of the Argo-
Gazette editor counted the autos that
left the grounds and found that they
numbered 455. This left 227 to be
accounted for as horse-drawn vehi-
cles, so the horseless had the best
of it by ratio of two to one, with
one auto TO spare. Adding the sew
enty-five or more outside the grounds,
it is seen that we'll over 500 autos
were in West Union that day, max
ing no account of those that were
parked at residences all over town.
1t was undoubtedly the biggest col
lection of motor cars ever seen in
Fayette county, and as the occasion
was one of special interest to farm
ers the figures show who are the
prosperous riders in motor carriages.
Estimating the average car as worth
$500, which we regard as conserva-
tive, we find that an investment of
100000 came to town on rubber
tires Thursday.-Argo Gazette.
