the closing number of the lecture course.
Mr.. Wickersham's list of lectures include
"Day Dreams, Chickens Come Home

ing Through the Hedge" and Young

notices, these lectures are all equally
good, and any one is worth the price of
a season ticket in any lecture course in
America"
This will be rare opportunity to hear
one of the leading lecturers in the coun-

selves of the great opportunity thus
offered them.

About Town Affairs

| Inc town reports were completed last
Friday and are now in the hands OF
the voters. Among the interesting
| items is that showing the indebt-
edness of the town to be $50, ,6056O
which is decrease of 81, 913 "a. During
the past year the selectmen have con-
strpcted three permanent bridges, one on
Randolph road near the Allen farm and
two in the Sterling district, in the latter
jobs large amount of concrete abut-
ment work being necessary The previ-
Gus year there were four permanent
bridges constructed. While these jobs
cost money, the small expense Of main
tanning them in the future will be great
saving to the town. Galvanized tile are
placed several feet below the surface of
the road and the bridges so constructed
that there should be slight expense for
repairs for at least 25 years.
In this connection, this paper is in
formed that next year the expense in the
selectmen's department will probably be
heavy, Tenney bridge and the Belts
bridge in the west part of town, both
being in line for extensive repairs. These
jobs will require a large amount of abut-
ment work.
1t is generally conceded that the town
has good working team in the present
Board of Selectmen. The term of Guy S.
Campbell, the member who has had
charge of much of the practical work
during the past year, expires this year
and according to our best information
and judgement he will be elected to sue
ceed himself.
Concerning the school department
there has been considerable talk of late,
many holding that the expense of schools
ha.heen far too heavy. OF course there
are two sides to every question and an
article on page two, concerning the cost
of Morrlstown schools for the past ten
years, will be read with interest by tax
payers.

.CULEBRA CUT IS
GRAvELY MENACEO
OMlNOUS FISSURES ARE
OPENING
IN TIME VAST TONNAGE MUST BE
REMOVED BY MEANS
OF DREDGEs


PANAMA, July 9. Although the
condition of the channel through the
Culebra cut section of the Panama
canal now is excellent and sufficient
ly deep and wide to pass the largest
dreadnaughts in the United States
navy. fears are expressed that soon
practically the entire west bank of
the canal from Contractors hill TO
the old administration building in the
village of Culebra will slide into the
canal prism.
A thorough survey of the entire sec
tion has just been completed and il
has been discovered that high up on
the hillside many ominous assures
have opened which Indicate that prac-
tically the entire hill section will ulti-
mately have to be removed from the
channel by the dredges. The section
extends for approximately 250O feet
parallel to the canal and for about
1900 feet back from the canal axis.
The section is known as old Culebra
slide because here occurred the first
great slide in the canal which caused
many persons to fear that the water
way could never be finished. The
present movement however has been
very slow. although short time acc
/ il was discovered that more rapid
motion had set in. The engineers de
clare the entire movement is wholly
surface one which will not precipi
tate a large quantity of debris into
the canal Nor do they believe its re
Emoval will be other than matter o
time.
The condition of Cucaraeha an'
New Culebra slides is all that eoul'
be wished. the engineers declare. A
the toe Of Cucaracha the channel ha
reached practically its planned widtl
and depth and now the dredges ar
