PROVIDE POWER FOR PALESTINE
Norwegian Engineer Deyises
 Water Supply to Cost S40,00O,00O

Christiania, Dec. 26.---A NorweSian engineer h;,& devised a plan to provide water and electric power for Palestine at an initial cost of $40, 100000 AL bert Hjorth, of this city, proposes to utilize the Nariat ton Of the level be- tween the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea and by means of a tunnel Tor water 10 provide elect ric power to be used for pumping stations, irri- sation and general purposes.
 MT. Hjorth proposes 10 dig d tun- nel 31 miles long, from the Mediter-. ranean to the Dead Sea, passing sun- der Jerusalem. This tunnel would 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 distributed as light and power through the country. This power would be used 10 drive a pumping station at the southern end Of the Sea Of Gallee $50 feet below et.)
 The surface of the Dead Sea is about 1900 feet below sea level that of the Sc3a Of Galilee $50 feet below sea level.
 Preliminary estimates Mr. Hjorth states. show that tens of thousands of horsepower might be developed in this way by means of a tunnel carrying 20 tons of water per second. He estimates the rise Of the Dead Sea caused by this at not more than part or a yard per year. The surfa ce of the Soa which is now about 1000 square miles would be allowed to in- crease to about a.S00 square miles.
 Two canals would be built running parallel wit tho river Jordan and from these canals water could be dis trIbuted among the fields slopine to- ward the Jordan Slf1 cicnt it is cla inn cd, for the irrigation of many hun dre.ls of thousands of acres.
 Mr Hjorth claims il would be no more diticuit to bLi ild this tunnel tlAln the proposed railway tunnel under the English Channel ana cSlimt tes the cost Of a Dead Sea tunnel (double) with a minimum area of l3o, square feet at S40. 000. GOO, to which must be added the cost Of the power plants, factories, canals and irrigation works. II is pointed out that the estimated cost involved in this plan does not compare unfavorably with the irriSa- ton works constructed in Asia and America during the pas tdccade.
 Mir. Hjorth's plans have met with great sympathy among leading scien- tilic authorities and practical cn2I- neers in Norway. It Is proposed 10 send out ! NorN egian tochnic-sc -scien- tifc expedition which. with tue antici- pated support of the gov ernments Of the great powers interested, will pro- cced to Palestine and make a years thorough investigation Of all the con- ditonS relative to the realization Of this propcct typographical. hydrolog- ical. technical geological. hHgienic, etc.

arc being rewarded for losing a fight not winning it, which is certainly q violation of Navy tradition.
 Speaking from the standpoint of a Navy man we say to the Admiral, Go to it, skipper, you tell 'em. Every man who served abroad knows that all was not as it should be in recogni- tion of those who were attached to fering in consequence, due to the disgruntlem of the discharged men who now have become a part Nof the civilians or the land. There is much more than failure to properly decor ate the men of the Naval overseas outfit Let Us hope it will all come out at the investigation that promises to develop. Let us hope that the Ad- miral sticks to his guns and makes public d little more of that which 1t is generally thought, he knows It was "scuttle- butte" gossip in the London station that the Communder-in chief abroad was unSatisfcd with many things which had came about in the unjust treatment of landsm en at home as compared with others abroad. at sea, and ashore.
 A thorough investigation, with d distinct aiming of some of the in- equalities that existed will do much for the Navy even now. There may be something gained by proving to the discharged officers and men that there is at least one Navy man, high in command, who has q sense of jus tice, even though it is too late to remedy the wrong. A bitter taste is in the mouths of many of the vet erans. Go to it Admiral, You tell 'em, you know.

RETURN OF RAILROADS.

The presidential decision to return the railroads two months later than had been planned up to the bcslnnin B of this week proves to be highly ac- ceptablc to railroad managers and, we believe to the general public. Between period of time of which much may be made in the advancement of protective legislation. Congress will have no holidays as a pretext for a recess and may settle down to a consideration of its problem which will be uninterrupt- cd by general celebrations. From New Years day on there is a long stretch unim paired by the usual vacations which we expect one would wish to spend a home with the family. Thanksgiving Christmas and New Years break up the fall and early win ter in a manner that is hardly con- ducive to production in manufa ctur- ing plants or at our legislative cen ters, particularly when so many of the
 
 go to their homes.
 The conference consideration of the Esch and Cummins bills with an agreement to be reached on the labor there is a wide divergence of opinion within Congress. Following the set clement of this question though, mat ters should be easier. It goes without saying that adequate protection to the railroads against failures in the first year or so of renewed private control must be adopted but there. has been a feasible plan for this suggested, which will probably meet with ap- proval.
 It will be d dcplora ble matter if and the demands of the people so distract Congress that it may not reach a decision and that d deadlock, with more delay, should ensue. How ever there is merit in the time that the Congressman have been able to spend at their homes during the hol- idays in that they. have been better able to size up'' the attitude of the constituents at first hand. They will be able to vote with more certainty. Procrastination in acting on the bill will gain nothing hereafter and it will be able to await more arguments from
  as they pile up. Action must come. Clear the decks of the railroad bills and let us get to other matters. There will be bowling however It is settled and the lawmakers have been given no chance to decide which ia ction may howl the loudest and which with the most effect.
