LOCAL MATERIAL
ANCHORAGE
HARb0R

ANCHORAGE, Aug. Drill tests to
determine the character of the ma
terial to be handled in making contem-
plated harbor improvements are pro-
crossing with highly satisfactory re-
suits. The formation encountered in
number holes sunk to a depth of
nearly $50 feet is silt, sands and
stratas Of loose gravel. No better
material could be desired and Com
missioner Mears expresses his salts
faction at the results obtained. The
tests will be continued until the en-
tire area to be dredged has been given
test SO that an intelligent idea may
be gained as to the work in view.
An effort will be made to obtain one
of the dredgers from the Panama
canal work, failing in which the har-
Dor improvement will be let out on
contract to private parties.
A temporary dock is being built
along Ship creek for the reception of
vast quantities of railroad material
due to arrive here early in August.
The shipments will include locomo-
tives, cars, steam shovels, another
crane, etc., now enroute from the canal
zone, switch engine from the east,
steel rails, lumber, supplies, etc. In
all, the shipments will aggregate some
$4,000 tons. To facilitate the handling
of this vast amount of freight, tenn.
porary track will laid to the new wharf
being constructed.
Due to the necessity for largely in
creased yardage facilities, notice
was issued this week to all private
parties to move from the tent city not
later than August 16. In some cases.
to accommodate spurs now being con.
structed, business places or residences
in the way of the work have been or
will be obliged to move without ex.
tended notice.
Railway Work.
Within six days. in the opinion OF
General Supt. O'Reilly, the grade will
be completed to Camp No. /, or to mile
four, ready for the steel. Early in
October rails will be laid as far as
Eagle river. BY the end of the sea-
son, the steel will be laid to the Mat
anuska river. a distance of thirty
miles. Bridges necessary to be con-
structed will be completed before that
time. according to the present pro-
gress. All the material for this por-
ton Of the work has been contracted
for.

protest to Hugh H. Mara, Bayonne
commissioner, and author Of the city's
famous rooster muffler ordinance.
Judge Stillwell sets forth that he muf-

could not disturb the neighbors. with
the astounding result that he got no
more eggs from the hens. Expert
ment has shown him conclusively that

have been made to discover some form

requirements; protect the eyes from

ana at the same time not to have IL
Elimination apprecfabiy reduced.
Glasses are NOW manufactured, OF an
amber tint, which very nearly ac-
complishes this result. These spec
tacles are now in quite general use
by yachtsmen. engineers. aviators, In
fantrymen engaged In target practice,
and others whose occupations keep
them exposed to long continued ex-
posture to bright light. They can be
worn with equal advantage while play
ing golf or tennis and in fact most of
the out-of-door sports. Many people
who are obliged to wear glasses all the
time, have q pair made in this kind
OF glass, and use them constantly for
street wear with much comfort.

FEATURES
RELIGIOUS TRAINING

Special attention will be given to
religious training among the students
of Earlham this fall, according to an
announcement sent out by President
Kelly. Edgar Pennington, OF Spiceland,
who is president OF the college Y. NJ.
c. A., is taking special work this sum-
mer at the training school at Lake &C.
neva, Wisconsin, SO that he can be
prepared to lead in the work among
the students. He will be Senior at
the college next year.
Letters received from the delega-
ton Of fourteen Earlhamites now at
Lake Geneva indicate that greater re-
ligious activity will be evident among
the students at the college next year
than ever before. The work will be
under the auspices of the Y. M. and
Y. w. c. A.
No appointment has been made by
the board of trustees Of the college to
the position made vacant by Prof Ell.
bert Russell. 1t is probable that this
position will be filled at special meet
ing of the board which will be called
by President Kelly upon his return
from his vacation.

STEAMER OFFICIAL
RE|TERArES SAFETY

CHICAGO, July 2s.--'"The Eastland
was safe. The accident to the ship,
from what l can learn, was due to
shallow water where she was locked.
The bottom Of the boat was resting
on the bed Of the river, and when
the tug pulled the Eastland turned
over"
This was the statement today Of
William H. Hull. general manager of
the St. Joseph steamship line, which
owns the steamer which turned over
in Chicago river Saturday
"My information is that one line
from the stern of the ship was fas-
tened when the tug began to pull and
that the tap was pulled off the piling
by the tension. Lack Of ballast could
not have caused the ship to turn over.
The ship certainly was safe"

And weary heart was broken,

One small word sent onward speeding,
Soon it feel over times short brink,
But is set a heart to bleeding
