The stata of Illinois has authorized bond issue of g. 100000 to connect inc Chicago drainage canal with the Illinois river at Utica, distance of abont 60 miles, with an eight foo channel.
 Would Cost Only Seven Millions.
 Government engineers have favor ably rep rted on the improvement of the Illinois river from Utica to it's mouth, 2 distance of some 230 miles, with an. eight-foot channel, and on he improvement of the Mississippi river from the mouth of the Illinois river to St. Louis, distance of 40 miles, with a like channel. An eight foot channel is already available from St. Louis to the mouth of the Chic river, a nine foot channel from he ohio for distance of S33 miles, and a channel of more than 30 feet in depth the rest of the way to the Culf of Mexico. a distance Of 24O Jriles. The link between Utica and St. Louis can be constructed at an estimated cost of $4,700.O00 so that in order tc render the entire way ready for service it would require an expenditure of less than $7,000,00O OI lnC part Oi Lilc lcu'ldl SONci IT. ment. Connecting with this also is the Hennepin canal from Hennepin n the Illinois river to Rock Island on the Mississippi, and also the Mis- sssipi from St. Lous to St. Paul and Minneapolis.
 The war department has made a careful survey and estimate for the entire waterway as an important step in connection with the prepared ness pra graJn. It is pointed out by the preparedness advocates that if an enemy did gain control of the east 'ern coast temporarily, the water way would still facilitate military movements throughout the Middle West.
 "When finished this will be the greatest inland water way in the world. It would exceed the Rhine in length several times over and under proper safeguards would exceed it in navigation and traffic." said Senator Gore.
 ''In addition to the water way itself there are two indispensable condi- tj9ns to inland navigation: 1st, Terminal facilities, and, End, Secur- ity against destructive railway dis crinsnaton's Legislation looking to the latter has already been enacted and could be perfected.

RULES TO GUIDE HEALTH SEEKERS
 AT HOT SPRINGS Government Lays Gu t Course and System for Mountain Climbing. PLAN BORROWED
 FROM BAD NAUHEIM Arkansas Resort First in America to Adopt Plan, Which Is Destined to
 Prove Great Benefit to
 Visitors.

Hot Springs, Jan. 29-The inter- for department, Washington, which has absolute jurisdiction over the A hot springs of this resort, and which has spent many thousands of dollars beautifying the local government re- servation, has interested itself very materially in a new feature where the health of the visitor is concerned.
 This department has received from the government number of maps containing plans of the various paths and driveways over the mountains, ard there has been adopted in this city the same system for mountain climbing that has brought such excel lent results when used by patrons to Fad Nauheim. Germany. Hot Springs is the first American health resort to adopt this system. All of the paths are clearly set forth on the map in various colors. and on the opposite side is a key showing the actual ele- vation made from climbing the vari- ous sections of the paths. In other words, mountain climbing in the fu- ture will be made scientific part or the treatment received here.
 How Climbing Helps.
 So,ne of the benefits to be derived, according to the government report, is acceleration of breathing, aecelera. tion of the heart rate, elimination of an additional amount of carbon d;oxide and increase of oxygen. an increase of healthy heart muscles and muscles of respiration, increase c.s capillary circulation, increase or normal blood pressure in proportion to the amount and degree of exer- else. -
 The report of pr. William Parks, of the government reservation. on the subject says:
 .sOn the roads of North mountain snd Hot Springs mountain courses have been laid out for scientl1ic system of mountain climbing, known as the Oertel system of graduated exercise, the same that Is used In Bad Nauheim, Gertnany. The courses are indicated by stone monuments, finished with apex tops and planted 800 feet apart. The monuments nave the nulmber cut on the face of each stone on two sides and are set so the patient can easily see the number or distance he or she has walked, either coming or going. There are four courses or roads marked in this way and the number on each monu- ment is painte din the color used for the course on the map"
 Physicians Adopt Plan.
 Local physicians who have pro cured these maps have entered into the spirit of carrying out this sys-- tenn and predict the most beneficial results. Heretofore, patients who de- sired to go on the mountains used their own judgment as to paths and distances they covered. In the fu- ture. mountain climbing, by following the Oertel system. will bring scien- t1fic results and not alone enhance the pleasure of the visitors but also assist them in their treatment here.
 Each course is represented in COL ors. Yellow is used for a course comparatively level. Green repre- sents slightly inclined course. Blue signifies a snlcderately steep course. Red represents a very steep course

 Upstairs over the vestibule, and just below the balcony, is the opera tors room, encased in asbestos, and absolutely fire proof, in every par ticular, having been erected in strict accordance with the regulations of the insurance co.npanies. The cleo tric feed wires enter the building and reach the operating room through heavy metal conduits, thus again pre- venting danger from fire. All these and other precautions have been taken by MT. Hauber, in remodeling the structure.
 The new theatre will be formally opened about March 1, the definite date not yet having been announced. It will be strictly a moving picture theatre, from the very beginning. It will be operated by MT. Hauber. who will continue. in addition, Ito person. ally manage the A-Muse-U. in the future, as he has in the past.

All that is necessary is to attend the A-Muse-U theatre, get the voting coupon, write upon it a name for the new theatre. and if the name you suggest happens to be selected. you get the $10O. With every admission ticket to the A-Muse-U you can sug- gest a different name for the new theatre. If more than one person suggests the winning name, the $100 will be evenly divided a'nong them.
 Voting, if such it may be called, has already. started, and it will con ltinue until the day the new theatre is formally opened. This means there is a whole month in which you will have many opportunities to see show and take a chance at getting a hundred good, hard iron men-a sackful of legitimate, easily obtained simoleons.

In the theatre itself, the showhouse part pr the building, the second floor will be removed. making height of some thing more than thirty feet to the handsomely-finished. old English style ceiling. Handsome lighting effects, of the diffused rays system. will be installed.
 All of the second floor will be re- tained, from the vessibule to the Sec- ond avenue front wall, and this will be a balcony, for negroes.

There will be 300 or more seats in the balcony, and approximately 800. seats downstairs for white people. making an aggre- gate of : about HOO seats in the house.
