DYNAMITE CANAL
INTO EXISTENCE
Marvellous Feat of Engineering
accomplished BetUeen Lake
Curr0lace and Mediterran-
can Sea.
(By Associated ,Press)

ROME, May don Gelasio Cae-
tani, brother of Prince Caetani, the
American trained engineer, who laid
the mine which blew off the top of
the mountain, Col di Lana during the
war, burying hundreds of Austrian
soldiers beneath it, hasjustdynamited
canal into existence from Lake Cap
rolace to the Mediterrane Sea.
The work was undertaken by direc.
ton of the Prince, also known as the
Duke of Sermoneta, head of the Gaze
tani family, in the Pontine Marshes
near the Dukes vast estate of Cis-
terna, 40 miles from Rome.
The Pontine Marshes constitute the
swampy forest country which
stretches between the Roman Cam
pagna and Terracina, region, which
the prince has labored for years to re-
claim. On the seashore of this strange
volcanic region there are three lakes
or lagoons, called Fogliano, Monaco
and Caprolace, communicating with
each other, into which at high tide
all kinds of fish find their way, re-
naming there to breed and fatten for
the Roman market, to which every
day some ten to forty hundredweight
are shipped. Only one, that of Fog
liano, is directly connected with the
sea, , :. in order to unite dthat of
Capfolace with the neighborin Medi-
terranean, an dto greatly increase the
yield of fish, Prince Caetani decided
to explode series of mines so as to
form a canal between this lake and
the sea.
The undertaking took so tons of ex-
plosives and 1,2O0 large bombs OF
five times as much as was required to
destroy the mountain top. 1t was
successful, opening channel to the
sea.

RETURNS
FROM LAGUNA DAM
Yuma Sun Tells of Visit to La

Directors and Irrigation Di-
rectOrS.

The party of farm directors, irriga-
ton directors and other interested
parties returned from their trip over
the irrigation system last evening. All
were well pleased with the results,
Yuma is in more conciliatory atti-
tude than at any recent time.
The following story from the Yuma
Sun tells Of the visit:
President J. S. Nickerson of the I'M
perial Irrigation District, with Super
intendent Cronholm, together with
16 or 18 other Imperial Valley land
owners, spent Wednesday night and
all day yesterday in Yuma visiting the
Laguna dam and other points of inter
est connected with the Yuma-I Imperial
irrigation problems. Project Manager
Schlecht escorted the visitors to La
guna dam early yesterday morning
and had the great head-gates worked
to show the visitors how superior oui
water supply is to that of the great
Imperial Valley. Many of the visitors
had never seen Laguna dam before
and it was indeed an eye-opener tc
them. Mr.. Nickerson is unalterably
opposed to the Selew plan of trying
to make a reservoir of Volcano lake

perial Valley do not at once ratify the
bond issue now before them for the
purpose of construction the first les

Johnson is Roosevelt's logical sue
cessor as the great spokesman OF virile
Americanism.
"Mr. Johnson embodies the cause of
good government and clean business.
He stands for efficiency. progress and
for equal rights for all, for the well
fare of the farmer and the wage
worker no less than for the business
man, and for scrupulously safeguard
ing the rights of the weak no less
than the rights of the strong. To him
is due not only the support of every
upright republican, but especially the
support of every upright independent,
