electric power will be used for many
other purposes in connection with the
work.
To supply the power to operate the
gates and sluice valves in the locks,
and to furnish current for the monster
electric locomotives which are to tow
the steamships through the locks, a
great hydro electric station is being
erected adjacent to the spillway in
Gatun dam, equipped with three large
water turbins and three 1000 kilowatt
generators. with suitable exciters and
other auxiliaries. There will be
enough water from the storage in
Gatun to warrant the installation of
5000 kilowatts, though in the dry sea
son it viii be necessary to draw upon
the storage. Although it is figured
that for this electric work Z per cent
of the minimum water system of the
canal will be required. A part of the
electricity is to te used for lighting
the line of the canal. There will be
concrete lampposts 100 feet apart
throughout the entire length of each
lock walls. Altogether 1000 lamps
will be installed at the loeks.-Hart

The newspaper of the Town stands
in much the same relation to the adj
ult population as does the school to
the children. No one would think
of negleeting to properly support the
school, and provide it with tho means
of giving the oh 'ldren the most mod
ern education to be had: But the
newspaper in that light is often over
looked. OF course, the newspaper,
being a private enterprise could not
be supported by taxation as is the
school, but the citizen should rea-
lie his own responsibility and the
benefits a properly supported news
paper can bestow, and act according

bers of this club printed in their own

be amiss and might assist in awaken

keepers as often 1t is difficult to find

phone to rest upon.
These new tables, which come In
mahogany, oak and mission, are small
and good looking and would not at all
mar the appearance of any room, pro
yided, OF course, that one was selected
in the same wood as the rest of the
furniture. They are square or three
cornered in design and have swinging
wooden arms. with round stand Gov
cred with green -baize on which to rest
the telephone. Under the table is a
shelf to hold the necessary but very
unsightly telephone directory, while
the wooden stool can be, slid under the
table when not In use. The three cor

convenient for fitting into corner Of
any room or hail.

JUSTICE AILSHIE THANKS MEN
BEERS OF LEGISLATURES.

Chief Justice Ailshie last night is
sued the following statement to the
members of the legislature and the
people of the state upon the recent
senatorial fight.
ITO the senators and representa-
tives of the Twelfth legislature as
sembly and the people of the state at
large:
Now that the senatorial contest
is over, | feel that it may not be in
appropriate for me to say word to
my friends and the people generally.
The vote | have received affords me
much qualification, and the fact that
! was not successful in no way les
sens my sense of appreciation of the
loyalty with which was supported.
Such support could come to me out
of no cause except sincere wish to
accomplish my election. | am deeply
sensible of the honor paid me by my
friends from all sections of the state.
The memory of their unselfish in
dustry in the promotion of my candi-
dacy without hope or expectation Of
reward other than the realization of
their desire for my election shall al
ways afford me pleasure To their
distinct credit all suggestion of
achieving my election thru combin-
atoms affecting legislation or local
interests here or there have at all
times been emphatically discounten-
anced by those espousing my cause.
The fact that fair and clean cam
paign has been conducted in my be-
half gives me a sense of satisfaction
Incompatible to any citation one
might feel through victory attained
in any other manner
II shall 60 about my work in the
hope that l may still be able to help
in the accomplishment of some of
the many things, political and other
wise, for which the people are striv-
ing and in some measure contribute
my quota of effort and labor for the
advancement of our state"
