The original Kaiser Wilhelm canal was begun only 27 years ago and was finished 19 years ago; - nevertheless, although it was supposed to have been bulit large enough to accommodate the ships of the future for a long period of vears, {t was soon found that it ships, particularly those of the navy. The locks of the old canal were 145 meters long, 28 meters broad and 9 meters- deep; the new locks are 330 meters long, 45 meters broad and 14 meters deep. They will have a water |s) content of 207,900 cubic meters, as against a content of 124,611 cublc me- ters for the Panama locks. The latter are 308 meters in length. One of the most troublesome difficul- ties experienced in the maintenance of railway tracks is the tendency of the rails to crep in one direction. Creeping is due to wave action fnduced in the rail by the passage of the heavily load- ed wheels. in which the travel is all in cne divec- tion, the creep being in the direction of the traffic. Much attention is be- ing directed today to the arresting of this movement, and several forms of very efficient anticreepers are on_the market. They consist, usually, of an inexpensive form of clip with end jaws which engage the base of the rail, and fetching up against the adjoining ties, thereby locking the rail to the roadbed. Opening of the Cape Cod canal en- ables all vessels as far south as Charleston, S. C., to save 70 miles of distance going to and from Boston. Translated . into other terms, this means that the average delay for the round trip yearly for barges and schooners on the outside route is near- ly four days, which is equivalent to a pecuniary loss of 10 cents a ton on the 7,000,000 tons of coal and on the large amount of lumber carried by these craft. The total amount of coal and lumber carried by steamers is 4,600,000 tons annually, and the same amount a ton will be saved by these boats in using the canal. It is much worse on tracks i the clips projecting below the base | :F'REIGHT RATE HEARING 1S NEARING END Counsel for Railroads Will Complets Their Case Today—Opposition Plan Not Known, A ‘Washington, Oct. 22—Counsel for the eastern railroads which are seek- ing a general advance in freight rates of at least five per cent indicated to- day that their case before the Inter- state Commerce Commission would be completed tomorrow, ith the testi- mony of one more witness.

LINDABURY LAUDS > STEEL CORPORATION Proud of What it Accomplished in the Dark Days of 1907 Philadelphia, Oct. 22.—"“The Gary dinners, to which ninety per cent of the iron and steel manufacturers of the country came to discuss the situa- tion in ‘thé dark days of the panic of 19807, are a laurel and a crown in the history of the industry,” said Richard V.

Washington, Oct. 22.—Issues arising from the seizure by British cruisers of -three American oil ships soon will e satisfactorily adjusted, in the opin- jon of the state department officlals. The release, after a short detention of the tanker John D. Rockefeller, with the accompanying explanation by the British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring- Rice, that the vessel was detained only because of doubt as to -the destina- tion of her cargo, was construed as an admission by the British govern- ment of the rights of the vessels’ prop- erty under American registry to carry oil without molestation between neu- tral ports. = To facilitate uninterrupted voyages by .merchant vessels carrying food- stuffs, oils, metals and other semi- contraband material, it has been sug- gested that the manifest be vised by British consular officers in American ports, which would insure the ships against detention by British or French cruisers, even temporarily, to make searches. This maiter is now under consideration by the officials.
