SAD AFFAIR
Two Duluth Boys Drown in Bass.
wood River

The bodies of Gerald Mccormick
and Arthur Kelley who were
drowned in Eastwood river Sunday
were recovered Monday and were
brought to this city Tuesday, being
taken to Duluth on the noon train
accompanied by their fathers.
The bodies were only about six
feet apart when found, lying in
shallow water fifteen feet below the
whirlpool in which the young lads
lost their lives. The bodies were
recovered by Deputy Game Warden
F. B. James and John Sieberlich
of this city and Addison Wright
and Joseph Russell of Winton.
According to the reports from
Sherman O'Brien who was with
the two boys in canoe and
narrowly escaped a similar fate,
the three were attempting to paddle
their canoe upstream in the rapids,
when the craft capsized, throwing
them into a whirlpool.
Knowing that the Kelly boy
could not swim, O'Brien said his
first thought was for his friend as
the canoe capsized, he pushed the
overturned boat toward Kelly and
told him to cling to it. The boy
grasped a packsack, however, and
ignored the boat. Young O'Brien
then tried to swim to Kelly but
could not reach him on account of
the current.
O'Brien said Young Mccormick
had then reached shallow water,
but turned back without hesitation
as he saw the situation. Kelly
took such firm hold of him, that
O. Brien then reaching the pair had
to use all his strength to get them
apart. Kelly then grasped o Brien
by the leg so firmly that he tore the
boys trousers partly from his
body. Losing this grasp he turn
ed to Mccormick again and the
two were quickly out of sight.
Remaining long enough to be sure
they would not come to the sur
face again, young O'Brien had
just strength enough left to reach
the shore.

son of S. F. Kelly the well known
furniture dealer and Gerald Nc

processes. In the first, the pulp is run

Suspension BRIDGE Ia Shifted.

An important feat of unusual diff
Guilty has just been performed by the
department of bridges In shifting the
cables of the Williamsburg bridge
from supporting steel pins of ten
inches in diameter. twenty-eight inches
in length and one thousand pounds in,
weight to nickel steel bar of thirteen
inches in diameter, forty and one-halfl
inches In length and eighteen hum
dred pounds In weight-all with less
than two hours interruption to rais
and vehicle traffic. This terminates a
work of almost three years, by which,
the longest suspension bridge in the
world has been rehung, with addition
al trusses, uprights and cross beams,
exactly doubling it's supporting
strength. The changes became nee
essary through the new subway
scheme of which the Williamsburg
bridge Is to be the central link. The

Oder, Weichsel, Isar, Main, and others,
are not naturally well adapted to use
for traffic of large kind. In major
ity of cases their banks were soft and
easily washed down by the waves
from large boats, while their beds
were uneven and shallow. The Ger
man problem, with the rivers, was to
deepen their beds and strengthen the
banks. The cheapest transportation is,
obviously, by means of the largest
ship or barge which can travel most
rapidly. Size and speed were sought
In the barges and a development of
the river and canals that would permit
economical and rapid navigation.

the smallest water craft could be

10000 Boats Used Inland.
Most Americans are somewhat IA
miliar with the marvellous increase of
the German merchant ocean ships. The
North German Lloyd, with its steam
ships on every sea, and other mer-
chant marine companies, have devel-
oped at phenomenal rate. Less con-
spicuous but equally great has been
the growth of the inland merchant
fleet of Germany, the shipping en-
ployed on its inland waterways. In
thirty years the tonnage of the German
inland fleet has nearly or quite quad
rupled. Twenty years ago the ton
mage of the inland fleet was so per
cent. larger than that of the ocean
fleet, now it is four times as large.
More than 10000 boats are employed
today on Germany's canals and rivers
with tonnage exceeding 100000
Boats Large as Possible.
Germany has been quick to recog-
nize the economic value Of the large
vessel. The Imperators Of the ocean
have their humber and less snowy,
but equally important, counterparts
on the inland waterways. Boats of
100 tons and less have decreased in
number in the last ten years, while
large boats of 300 tons and more have
increased in number ten fold. The
small boat or barge is being aban-
doned In Germany as out of date. The

ONLY A TEMPORARY SETBACK.

1t is to be hoped that the action of the board
o, visitors OF the University of Virginia In re-
gard to the proposed merger Of the medical de-
partment Of the university with the Medical Col
lege of Virginia here Will have the effect of
merely postponing the consolidation of these
institutions The plan is too great to be allowed
to die. The opportunity for tremendous work
should not be ignored.
The fact that the Northern philanthropists,
from whom large sum of money is expected to
come when the colleges are consolidated, have
made no definite promises in regard to this
endowment, is given az the basis for the refusal
of the board OF the University Of Virginia to
enter the merger.
Although promise OF large endowment
has been made there seems to be rather de-
finite understanding between the promoters OF
the consolidation and those representatives OF
Northern foundations who have been seen. A
party OF Richmond men were In New York q
short while ago and from their statements it
was gathered that sum of over million dollars
would be given the consolidated college.
