TELEGRAPH PROJECT NEARLY COMPLETED Amercan and European Continents Connected by Land Telegraph. Washington, D. C., May 8.—Fifty years ago this summer, interest in the great project of connecting the Amer- ican and European continents by land telegraph was at its height and con- ! summation of the undertaking was regarded as practically assured..The vlan was to consult New York ‘and London by way of .the Bering Strait. Although the first ocean cable was laid.in 1857, there existed much sKepticism regarding it and as late as' 1865 it was declared be of no practical use. The enormous labor and cost of laying an ocean cable and the unsatisfactory manner of the working of those first laid gave rise to the opinion that failure would be the ultimate outcome, Overland Route Conceived, Perceiving the wide demand for telegraphic communication between the two continents, Perry Macdonald Collins, an American’ engineer of note, conceived the idea of an overland route. His plan whs for a private company, backed by the United States government, to build a tele MOTHERS, THINK OF IT!---A GOOD STYLISH, SERVICEABLE !

Simuitaneously, . the Russian government was to build from St. Petersburg across Siberia to a point opposite the American termine al on Bering Strait. Just how the wires were to. be car- ried across the thirty or forty miles of water separating the two conti- nents was never fully worked out; but a series of floating buoys, or small ships, firmly anchored, was thought 1o offer a solution of the problem. "Tentative Agreement Made. The enterprise advanced in due tives were sent to St. Petersburg to !lay the plan before the Russian gov- ernment. Success attended the mis- sion to the extent of a. tentative agreement whereby the czar W to order the construction of the Siberian line whenever its practicability was demonstrated by the American pro- moters. Full permission was grant- ed for an American engineering party to explore Eastern Russia and the great Siberian wilds for the purpose of locating a' route and testing the { feasibility of maintaining telegraph ilines in that region. | Numerous surveys were' made { through British Columbia and Alaska {and a route was practically decided ;uuon, Nearly all of the way it led through an uninhabited country, re- | mote from sources of supply, and in- ito a vast region locked in. ice and ! snow during seven.or elght months of i the* year. Throughout this region, it | was proposed to maintain relay sta- tions at frequent points, where opers lot represents the very latest!spring style and is ‘A POPULAR BULGARIAN MODEL, WITH STITCHED BELT AND PLEATS. equal to the grades usually offered at $2.00and browns; sizes 6 to 16 years, Boys’ $5 to $7 Norf $2.25; neat mixtures, WE*MADE A HIT WITH THEM LAST WEEK.

From 1863 to 1865 many parties 'and expeditions were organized and sent out to explore and demonstrate. | George Kennan, afterwards well i known in the United States as a trav- ieler and lecturer, joined one of the : expeditions, when only eighteen years | of age, and spent over two years in Siberia, building and operating exper- !imental lines. Kennan was an expert | telegrapher, and his mission was-t5 | ! prove to the satisfaction of govern- { ments and capitalists that telegraphic ! communication could be maintained { constantly in the semi-Polar regions. In Siberia, the Kennan expedition | traveled thousands of miles by dog- sledge and on horseback, investigal- {ing climatic conditions and making i surveys the Am project 2 that the Trans-Siberian railway sub- sequently followed much of the line marked out by the Americans. Entérprisc Was Abandoned. It was while enguged in making further surveys, believing fully that the American end of the line was al- ready undér construction, that a mes- | sage, by courier from St. Petersburg, reached Kennan informing him that the enterprise had been abandoned and ordering the expedition to return to the United States for discharge. The successful laying and operation of the second Atlantic cable in 1865 blasted the hopes of the promoters of the American-Siberian line. Gov- ernments and capitalists looked cold- | Iy upon the great outlay necessary | and refused to finance further experi- | grays and The Oliver Twist Suits That clever and popular washable style for boys three to eight years of age, made of a good quality galatea in blue stripes, Blue and brown; waist nd pants of contrasting colors; signed with silk cord in bow effect.

Thus, all of the expe tions were recalled and the promot- | ing company dissolved.
