TO WASH HILLS AWAY.
Pacific Coast Methods Adopted in
Canal Construction.

Washington, June 17.-Taking their
cue from the great hydraulic mining
plants developed on the Pacific coast.
the army engineers in the canal zone
have resolved to wash away the hills
which tower above the Culvers cut.
Already an elaborate plant of hydraulic
monitors has been inst9Iled near
Gold Hill, overhanging the famous cut
A great supply of water has been OBJ
tanned by damming the Obispo river
and the engineers will seek to sluice
away the sides of the hill that the
water borne earth will be carried away
from the Culebra cut and into the
valley in the rear.
1t is hoped in this way to relieve
the tremendous pressure on the lower
strata which has been rising up into
the cut in defiance of the continuous
operation OF dozens of great steam
shovels which are often themselves
overwhelmed and buried by the NOV
ing earth.

EXPECT LITIGATION.
Minnesota Rate Case May Not Yet Be
Ended.

st. Paul. Mimi, June 17.-The pos
sibility of further litigation over the
Minnesota rate cases is being discussed
by attorneys today following the dis
covery that injunctions against en-
forcement of the passenger and com
modify rates, obtained from the
United States circuit court by stock
holders of six railroads after the San
born decision in the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific and Minneapolis &
st. Louis still are in force.
The actions were brought by stock
holders against state officials and the
companies with a view to allowing the
six roads (Chicago & Northwestern,
Chicago Great Western. Minnesota &
International, Rock Island, Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and
the St. Paul road) to benefit by the
Sanborn decision ordering re-estab-
lishment of the old rate schedules.
The injunctions became effective June
l, 1911.
Attorney General Smith probably
will ask that the circuit court enter a
decree vacating these injunctions in
view of the supreme court decision
holding the rates ordered discontinued
to be valid as to the Hill lines. This,
it is said, would solve the problem IL
the roads would consent to such a pro-
ceeding without a fight.
