CANAL SLIDES

NAVIGATION AT PANAMA MEN.
AGED NO MORRE-TRAFEIC

ENGINEERS.

Panama Canal Zone-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press)-
The slides in Gaillard cut which have
been menacing navigation have been
overcome, Today the channel is in
better shape than it has ever been be-
fore. For a minimum width of $50
feet it is 35 feet deep, and it is at
least 80 feet deep clear across the
original prism. 800 feet wide. The
slides at Cucarac cha and Culebra
which have bulged forward as if to
smother the waterway under their
mass have been dredged away until
thew look fiat and impotent. Barring
some unforeseen development, such
as new break in wholly unexpect-
ed place or the crumbling of the great
cliffs of breccia at Gold hill or Con-
tractors hill. the interruption of traf-
fic by the slides are done.
The engineers in charge will not
commit themselves to prophecy but
they say the cut is in the best shape
it was ever lin, and the fact that they
have taken away all but three of the
dredges and cut out the Sunday holt
day work is a strong indication OF
their confidence in the situation.
The three drcdges are carrying the
excavation back of the original chan
mel. Much work is yet to be done to
complete the channel to is full width
of 800 feet with bottom 40 feet
above sea level, giving depth of
as feet, but it is already possible now
to give passage to the biggest ships
on the seas without any trouble.

CHARITY WORK

COMBINED EFFORTS OF Asso-
GATED CHARITIES AND
SALVATION ARMY APP
PROVE EFFECTIVE

The combined efforts of TIE AS
soclated Charities and the Salvation
army during the last week has result
ed in considerable alienation of the
distress in many of the poorer homes
in Mitchell. The Associated Charities
have worked continuously in collect
ing funds. food and clothing for the
poverty-stricken people of the city.
Today the committee collected a
large amount of clothing and other
"Hressafies at the Elks hall which it
distributed without discrimination to
all families that were in destitute
condition. About so baskets of food
and clothing We're prepared and will
ne distributed before Christmas day
ut is estimated that about S135 has
been donated to this cause. The com
mittee has been unusually successful
in procuring funds and other forms
of charities.
In speaking of this work, Mrs.
Grundland. ward chairman of the AS
socsated Charities said ION account
of the exhausted condition of the
treasury OF the Associated Charities
and the somewhat slow response to
the salvation Army the two consolid-
ated their efforts so as to reach every
need" Npme i'm the city without show
ing favor to one over the other Des-
ttute conditions confronted us and
who had to meet them quickly After

and continue the charity work

FREIGHT TARIFF
FIGHT is STIFF
SECRETARY FELLOW PREDICTS
BITTER STRUGGLE IN EFFORT
OF RAILROADS TO BOOST
RATES.

That the South Dakota freight rate
controversy, which is just being COM
menced, will develop into one of the
hardest rate battles ever fought. is
the opinion of E. j. Fellow, secretary
Of the Mitchell Commercial club, who
returned last evening from Pierre,
where he has been attending the first
hearings before the state railway
commission.
The present phase of the battle is
move by the railroad companies ask
ing the state commission to grant
them an increase in freight tariffs
throughout the state.
The preparation which they have
made for the case is perhaps greater
than that of any recent year in the
state The chief statisticians from
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
road. the Burlington line and the
Northwestern system were at Pierre
with elaborate charts designed to
show need for theadvance
Three and cne-half days were talk
en- up by the carriers for giving their
testimony on the rate advance. The
hearing was then postponed indefin-
itely, after which the shippers and
the state will spend approximately
the same length of time introducing
the defense.
1t is generally believed among the
shippers that the carriers are mere
ly laying the basis for another case
identical with the famous Shreves-
port struggle. in which the authority
of the interstate commerce commits
sion to exercise its jurisdiction over
purely interstate rates was asserted
and confirmed by the United States
Supreme court.
The railroads are now publishing
a new list of tariffs to South Dakota
points from Sioux City. and will
probably be allowed this advance by
the Interstate commerce commission.
refused is rdlu rdlu mfwyp
and refused the advance within
South Dakota by the state commits
sion. II will then be possible for
Sioux City merchants to complain
against discrimination and for the
railroads to come to their defense
with suit like the Shreveport case.
Secretary Fellow declared that the
South Dakota commercial clubs were
unanimous in their intention of
fighting the case and that the rail
ways would meet with strenuous OPP
position from the state railway COM
mission in their effort to secure
higher rates

DRYs PROPOSE
SPECIAL OFFICER
WOULD HAVE COMMISSIONER,
OF PROHIBITION" TO EN-
GORGE LAW TO BE ENA(sr-
ED THIS WINTER.

Afte. swinging South Dakota into
the dry column at this gen~,-ll e,ec.
tion, the prohibition forces. n. !,
meeting held in Mitchell this weel.
decided upon a number of recon-
mendations which they propose to
incorporate in the liquor law to be
submitted to the legislature when ii
meets next month. The meeting
was attended by number of promin-
ent lawyers from this state. in addi-
ton to H. H. Sawyer. attorney for
the Iowa Anti-Saloon league. and
Wayne B. Wheeler, of Washington,
ID. C., attorney for the national or
ganization.
Although a full law was not draft
ed. number of general principles
were agreed upon. The law which
the dry forces will back will doubt
Tess require lggists to secure a
permit before they can sell any in
toxlcatlng liquors for any purpose,
and that only pure alcoho. will be
permitted to be sold for medicinal
mechanical or scientific purposes
and wine for sacramental.
Physicians prescriptions will be
recommended for the sale of alcohol
TOT medicinal purposes, and sworn
afldaNit for the sale of alcohol for
mechanical and scientific purposes
and wine for sacremental. Drug
glsts would be required to file re-
ports with county officer showing
complete record of all their liquor
sales each month.
A new officer which the prohibi-
t'onlsts hope to cerate is that of
commissioner Of Prohibition" He
would have general supervision
over the enforcement of the law. He
may be empowered to proceed
against the owner of a building
where liquor is being sold Illegally,
as we'll as against the yiolater.
Similar laws are now being drafted
IN number of places around the
state. but the central meeting was
held because there is a feeling in
some quarters that the preparation
of the dry law should be entrusted
to those who have contributed to
the passage of the prohibition amend
ment and to those who have made
study of prohibition legislation and
its operation in other states.
