AND ELECTRIC POWER TO BE GIVEN
 PALESTINE IN PLAN
Norwegian Engineer Devises Plan, to Cost $40,O00,0OO
 At Start

Christiania, Dec. "A Norwegian engineer has devised a plan to pro- vide water and electric power for Palestine at an initial cost of $40,- 000,OO0. Albert Hjorth, of this city, proposes to utilize the variations of the level between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea and, by means of tunnel for water, to provide electric power to be used for pumping stations irrigation and general purposes.
 MT. Hjorth proposes to dig a tun- mel 37 miles lone, from the Mediter- ranean to the Dead Sea, passing un- der Jerusalem. This tunnel wouM carry water from the Mediterranean to the western slopes of the lower end of the Jordan valley. Thence the water would pass through pipes down to the Dead Sea, where a power plant would transform the water power into electricity, to be distribut- ed as light and power through the country. This power would be used to drive a pumping station at the southern end of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Gennesaret).
 The surface of the Dead Sea is about 1900 feet below sea level; that of the Sea of Galilee $50 feet below sea level.
 Preliminary estimates, MT. Hjorth states, show that tens of thousands of horsepower might be developed in this way by means of a tunnel car rylng 20 tons of water per second. He estimates the rise of the Dead Sea caused by this at not more than part of a yard per year. The sur- face of the sea which is now about 4,0OO square miles, would be allowed to increase to about 4,8OO square miles.
 Two canals would be built running parallel with the river Jordan and from these canals water could be dis trlbuted among the fields sloping to- ward the Jordan, sufficient. it is claimed, for the irrigation of many hundreds of thousands of acres.
 MT. HJorth claims it would be no more difficult to build this tunnel than the proposed railway tunnel un- der the English Channel and esti- mates the cost of a Dead Sea tunnel (double) with minimum arear of l35 square feet at $40,OOO,OOO, to which must be added the cost of the power plants, factories, canals and Irrigation works. It is pointed ont that the estimated cost involved in this plan does not compare unfavor- ably with the irrigation works con- structed in Asia and America during the past decade. ITS
 MT. Hjorth's plans have met with great sympathy among leading scien- tific authorities and practical enei- neers in Norway. It is proposed to send out a Norwegian technic-scienti- flc expedition which, with the anti.i. pated support of the governments of the great powers interested, will pro- ceed to Palestine and make vear,s thorough investigation of all the con. dltlons relative to the realization of this project-topographical, hydro.

well worth the labor The co-opera-
ton Of all the colleges of the state in
this campaign has larger promise OF
good for education and for the state.
In this common enterprise they rec
ognize that their fundamental relation
Is that of partners FATHERS than rivals.
"A common aim and a common
work lie beneath all the wide and USE
full variety of the aff1nities and meth
DDS of our endowed colleges. Yet so
far as I know this is the first time
that all the colleges of great state
have recognized this fact officially.
The Wisconsin colleges are not MAX
ing separate appeals for public sup
port based largely on the individual
characteristics of each college. They
appeal together for support on grounds
which are common to them all.
Such a union of educational forces
is peculiarly appropriate at this time.
A generation or two ago 1t sufficed IL
the college served it's local community
and expressed the life of learning as
held by those of the faith which
founded it. Today the principles
which shape the life of the nations and
Of the world are everywhere being
tested and questioned by agencies
which are at least national in scope.
If your college ideal of the union Of
learning and religion in the service
of the commonwealth Is to have its
influence, it must be maintained and
enforced by the united powers of all
those who hold it. Beyond, therefore,
and above the good which will come
from the financial success of your CAM
paign, I place the result to the state
of this union of it's colleges. Let me
therefore express once more my cor
dial sympathy with your movement
and my best wishes for its success"
