Ideas In Counsel Friday
Night.
ADDITIONAL REVENUE NEEDED
Banquet To Be Given and More
StrenuOSity Will Be
Put Forth.

Enthusiasm ran high at the meet.
ing of the Hopkinsville Business
Mems Association last Friday night.
President r E Cooper presided over
the meeting and he made a strong
talk along progressive lines. Many
Of the members followed and a gen.
eral discussion of important matters
kndled enthusiasm in many who ex-
pressed themselves as fovoring more
strenuous activity among the men,
bership and making an advance to-
ward doing things that at this par
ticular time in the history of the
association should not be allowed to
pass unvoiced.
One of the most essential things
now to be handled is the collection
of dues. Things have been allowed
to drift along "any old way" it
seems, since the resignation of the
late secretary. 1t now devolves up
on the new secretary, c. H. Bleich,
to ia up the tangled threads Of
affairs and straighten them out. Mr..
Bleich comes here from Madisonville
highly recommended as an alert bus
mess man and everybody expects him
to make good. The members be-
J lieve he will.
Knowing that the Association can
not carry out the plans in view it
was the concen us of opinion that
more money for special purp ses
must be raised and the President vas
requested to appoint a committee
for this purpose. He said he would
announce the committee at the next
meeting.
A banquet may be given soon, but
as the Pennyroyal Fair has been the
all-absorbing topic for some time,
further consideration of the banquet
was dismissed until after the fair.

MEACHAM TO APPOINT
Four Members Who Shall Serve
For Terms of | to
2 Years.

The Council met Thursday night
with all present except Councilman

embracing the accounts for two
months and the light BIZ for three
months was paid, amounting to $4,-

shall be set aside strictly for such
use.

The Last Dam Will Probably
Be Blown Out This
Week.
THEN FINAL REDGIN G.
The Trip Through The Canal
Will Take Twelve
Hours.

Colon, Oct. 4-The nine years
work is finished and the Panama
canal is to-day practically complete.
At a signal from Col Goethals the
waters Of the Allan ic and Pacific
oceans will be let into Gatun lake by
means of four huge pipes passing
through the Gamboa dixie which
stands between the lake and the
Culebra cut. When the water has
reached level high enough in the
Culebra cut to form a cushion
against the explosion of many tons
Of dynamite the Gamboa dixie will
be blown up and the water will be
allowed to flow through the canal,
checked only by the various locks at
either end This is expected to take
place this week. The dynamite will
not be of sufficient strength. how
ever, to clear away the tons of earth
and rock composing the Gamboa
; dixie. The waters of the two oceans
will play an important part in this
, final piece of work which the engi-
!, neers call "child's play in compari-
, son to the problems they have faced.
When the water has washed it's
way through the dixie the steam
, dredges, the steel monsters which
have done the actual digging Of the
big ditch, will be called upon for
their final task, and within few
days all that composed the Gamboa
dixie will have been entirely re-
moved from the canal route.
The dredges will make a final trip
through the canal searching for any
huge rock or mass of earth which
may have been overlooked or slipped
into the canal. By the time it is
completed, which is expected to be
Dec. l, the water in Gatun lake will
have reached the required level OF
eighty-seven feet, and the canal will
be ready for the passage of the
largest steamship afoat.
In passing from the Atlantic to
the Pacific vessel will enter the
approach channel in Limon bay.
This channel extends to Gatun, a
distance of seven miles. Here have
been erected series of steel locks
by which the ships will be raised to
a height of eighty seven feet, or to
the level of Gatun lake. The pas.
sage for thirty miles is then made al
eighty-seven feet above the level OF
the Atlantic ocean. After passing
through the Culebra cut the vessel
is lowered thirty and one-half feet
into Mirafores lake, which will be
about fifty four and one half feet
above the level of the Pacific ocean.
The fact that a difference existed
between the mean levels of the
oceans necessitated the building of a
lock canal instead of a sea level pas
sage.
| The passage through Mirafoers
lake is about two miles, and the yes.
sci is then lowered in two locks to
the level of the Pacific ocean.
The estimated time for towing the
largest vessels through the canal is
between ten and twelve hours.

SATURDAY was DuSy udy dC inc
fair grounds The work of cleaning
up, which had been in progress for
several days while other work was
going on was about completed
The beauty of the grounds has
been so, frequently commented on
by the press that everybody who Wis
its the fair today is somewhat pre-
pared to gaze upon the best arrang-
ed and prettiest place for holding
fairs in the state outside of Louis
vile.
Transportation over the three rail-
roads>entering here had been pro-
cured by the transportation commit
tee at one fare plus rs cents. The
Tennessee Central railroad put in a
siding last summer and will run a
shuttle train to and from the city to
the grounds, making two trips an
hour. day and night, until the hour
for closing. The first train will
leave the station at 9:45.
Only round-trip tickets to the
grounds will be sold. Each ticket
shall cost ten cents, children same
price.
This arrangement is the best that
anybody could ask and the Tennessee
Central officials in this way have
shown their liberality and contribut-
ed very materially to making the
fair success, for no crowd means
no fair.
The City Council Fri lay night au-
thorized the street committee to
have Virginia street sprinkled twice
a day, and if necessary it will be
sprinkled oftener
People along the Tennessee Gen.
trail road as far as GAINESVILLE will be
glad to know that special train
will be run each day from Clarks-
vile, leaving there at $50 in the
morning, arriving here at $50. Re
turning this train will leave here at
night at IL o'clock This arrange
ment will suit farmers especially. as
they will not be at the trouble and
expense of having their horses fed
and taken care of here, should they
drive through the country.

the poultry exhibit has conc uded to
allow fowls to be entered tonight.

vile, the fairs at Paducah, Owens

to do this Was the Forbes Mfg. Co.,
which had secured large space and
will exhibit many articles of their

of which they have local control.

as the many tinted brick they use in

shapes for trimming so much in
