WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. The board of
consulting engineers of the Isthmian Canal
commission . have decided to substitute
Brussels for Paris as the meeting- place of
the foreign . members next January. The
reason for the decision Is that Brussels Is
more conveniently situated for several of
the members. The American engineer who
will go to Brussels with the 'documents to
be signed, ha not been 'chosen. A board
of tbree member,., with General Davis as
their head, will imk. a rough final draft
of the report,-which will have to be worked
over, and tt Is expected It will be ready
for publication about December 31.
THe sea level canti! will have a width at
the' bottom of 150 fee, except In the Cule
bra cut, where that width will be 200 feet.
The greater width In the Culebra cut is
necessary to allow two whips to pass each
other safely between the high banks of
the canal, which will be formed by the very
deep excavation.- The plan as adopted by
the board would make Linion hay one of
the greatest hsrbQrs of the world. Almost
through, the middle of the bay a break
water will be built und a shorter break
water will be built from San Cristobal,
which Is American territory, thereby leav
ing Colon, which belongs to the Republic
of Panama, outside of the American canal
works. Under the plan as adopted by the
board San Cristobal Is expected to become
the chief city o the Atlantic side of the
canal and the promontory on which arises
the statue of Columbus will be covered with
official buildings, docka, coaling stations
nnd sll the works necessary for an Import

gan at Ban Cristobal. It is now proposed
by thexboard to build a short, direct canal
from Mlndl to Limon bay, thereby making
the distance shorter by a few hundred
yards and also facilitating navigation and
making It possible for ships to sail into
the canal without having to make any
difficult turns. The breakwaters necessary
for the formation of this harbor of Ssn
Cristobal will be an item of great expense.
They were the subject of lengthy discus
sions In the meetings of the board. They
would have been necessary, however. In
case a lock canal had been chosen.
On the Pacific side at'.Fahama the plans
as adopted yesterday are also different
from those of the French canal company.
The French canal ends at La Boca and
it was found one of tha great difficulties,
as the Rio Grande, with its many branches,
crosses the canal and In the rainy season
inundates It and does great damage to
the works already constructed by the
French. Therefore it was decided the
canal should- be built nearer to the city
of Panama and should run between two
hills, one called Bosa and the other the
well-known . Ancon. Ancon Is the higher
of the two. On it the American hospitals
ur9 built and it is one of the most healthy
places on the Isthmus.
Only Lock la Canal.
At this place the one lock, necessitated
through the difference In tides of the
Atlantio and Paclfio will be built. This
lock, however, will not retard the pro-
gress of ships through the canal. In the i
first place, ships coming from the Pacific
will have to stop some time anyway to
be visited by health officers and by civilian
authorities and, furthermore, during a
large part of the day this lock will be
entirely open, ss the levels of both oceans
will be equally high.
At the Panama side no plans have as
yet been made for breakwaters.
The plans for constructing a lock canal
at thirty feet altitude were never dis
cussed, and from the beginning the board
was divided Into two groups, of eight and
tlve members, one.ln favor of the sea level
plan and the other In favor of a lock
canal. A compromise plan was never
brought up at any time.
It can be authoritatively reiterated that
none of the foreign delegates to the board
came here with specific instructions from
their governments. The members of the
board came here at the bidding of the
I'nlted States, and their governments
gave them a long leave of absence so
that they might give their services to
; this country, sending them without sny
I Instructions whatever. They will leave
I Washington by next Saturday and stay
a few days in New York before leaving
I fer hiurupe.
I On Tuesday night next. General Davis,
I chairman of the board of consulting en
' glneers, will entertain- the foreign dele
gates at a farewell dinner at his home.
Ksllmate of Cost.
The cost of the sea level canal Is estl
niated by the engineers at about 230.nuO..
two. Although this amount seems much
larger than the amount necessary for the
construction of the lock canal, it is' claimed
by the advocates of the sea level plan to
be In reality only comparatively slinhtlv
higher. It was pointed out in the meetings
of the board that a lock cunal wouM neces
sitate between !30.00.onu and IHMOil.uin as
payment for the private grounds and the
lands belonging to the Republic of Pan
ama which would be Inundated by the con
struction of the lock system. This Item.
In the vle-v of the majority of the board.
Is entirely done away with by the adoption
of the sea level canal.
As for the time It will take to construct I
the sea level canal, several members of
the board today agreed In the opinion that
the construction of the sea level canal will
not In reality take so very much time more
than that of the lock eanal, and that if no
unexpected difficulties are met with. It
should not require more than two or three
years additional. The majority of the en
ginerrs take the position that the building
of the sea level canal should not take more
than fifteen years.

(From a Starr Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 1!. ( Special.) The re
port from Minneapolis that Auditor Pearl',
Secretary of State Galusha and Land Com
missioner Eaton have already backslidden
so far as the antl-pnss plank of the repub
lican platform is concerned. Is regarded
ss the precursor to a campaign to pre
vent the renomination of those official,
unless they are able to exonerate them
selves. According to the report, which Is
state house gossip, these three state
officials went as guests of Bob McGlnnls.
the Northwestern political sgent and legis
lative overseer. The attitude taken by the
republicans who develop sentiment In the
party Is that these officials have made a
bad break which will Jeopardize their pros
pects of. securing second terms.
The anti-pass republicans are confident
that they will secure the Insertion Into
the platform of another anti-pass plank
with a demand for effective legislation
that would make It Impossible to remain
consistent end at the same time put on
the ticket men who waited but a few days
after election to accept these free priv
ileges. As far as Ualushtt is concerned
his Junket has not altered his situation.
since he declined to obey the mandate
of the convention, alleging that the plank
did not contemplate the surrender of passes
until the law had been adopted. Searle
and Eaton, on the other hand, wore among
the first of the stae officials to signify
their adherence to the party declaration,
the latter going so far as to claim pre
miership In that step by giving up not
only railway passes, but telegraph, tele
phone and express franks.
Lincoln lias Depository Problem.
The problem of safekeeping public funds
In Lincoln has reached an acute stage
through the Introduction In the city coun
cil of a resolution calling upon the treas
urer to designate the banks In which he
keeps the $75,000 of city funtls. So fur he
has failed to take any action In response
to the resolution, but a considerable ele
ment among the taxpayers is demanding
that he follow In the footsteps of Treasurer
Mortensen by publishing a monthly state
ment of the depository banks) with the
balance In each.
City Treasurer Fox says that he Is per
sonally responsible for the public funds,
because of the absence of any law author
ing the1 use of depositories, and he does
not believe it incumbent to disclose the
whereabouts of the funds" because his per
sonal bond protects tho city against loss.
He alFO turns over the interest, about
i-'.OGO having been ordered Into the treas
ury on that account during the current
year.
It is claimed that the designation of de
positories and the requirement of a bond
would cause the banks to refuse to pay in
terest. In answer to this reply is made
that the several banks in Lincoln are fur
nishing big bonds to the state and, at pres
ent, have an average of less than $10,Ojrt
state money, while they pay 2 per cent on
monthly balances.
The movement for publicity as to depos
itories here Is undoubtedly due In a large
measure, to the example set by the stale
officials, although there is a disposition to
demand assurance that there is no favorit
ism In the distribution of the cash among
the local institutions.
Should Apply to All Treasurers.
Treasurer Mortensen believes In the pol
IcV ftf mlKllfllV nnt ,tnl.' Kl. I
" ""-
.ciivii, tsut in nic iinvirsm oi nit; laxpay
lng public, whose right It Is to know where
the funds are kept. Since he has been In
the office as custodian of the state's cash,
ho has never missed the regular monthly
statement, giving the names of the deposi
tories with the balance in each, and no
news Item coming from lils office is more
highly regarded In the editorial offices of
the state press.
Not only would the treasurer apply that
policy to the state funds, but' ulso to the
county and city treasuries of the state. He
regards It as a perfectly reasonable regula
tion and one with which the officials ought
10 comply with ready
acquiescence. The
statutes do not require him to provide the
I Pr w'tn th information. Not only does
he have his books accessible, but he pro-
vldes the balance sheet for monthly dlstri
button.
Mild Oil Boom for Lincoln.
A very mild oil boom is stirring the cir
cles of Lincoln business men, who are
planning to bore In the neighborhood of
the Insane hospital, southwest of the city.
S. W. Burnham of Yunkee Hill, a suburb
of Lincoln, has organised the Yankee Hilt
'Development company, which is now seek
lng to Induce landowners to grant options
on small truets. If this is done, Mr. Purn
ham, who Is a brother of S. H. Hurnhum,
president of the First National bank, prom
ises to have machinery on the ground
within sixty days tp put down a 4.000-foot
well.
For several weeks the matter has !een
agitated. Trof. Nicholson, a former mem
ber of the university faculty, made a su
perficial exploltution some time ago at
Burnham, southeast of the hospital, and
reported that the indications wero prom
ising and since that time other experts
claim to have found oil seeping out of a
hillside. In support of the theory that
Lincoln may prove to be a great oil cen
ter, it is claimed that there is a favorable
antl-cllne traversing this part of the state.
One Trail Salt Dlsinlsaril.
The prospects of a ruling of the courts
as to the existence of an alleged lumlier
trust in Lincoln have gone glimmering. It
develops that no further action Is to be
taken in the suit of the A. 6. Godfrey
estate against the Dierks. F. W. Broun
nd John Oberlles A Son companies, which
was brought for damuges, alleged to have
accrued through u combination of the de
fendants to control the local market. The
suit has been hanging tire since the death
of Godfrey a few months ago.' It Is as-
serted that the Godfrey lumber business
has been sold to the Rogers I.umlier com-
pany of Minneapolis. Minn., which desired
the dismissal of the suit so as to avoid
any embarrassment in its relations with
the defendant companies. Mayor Brown,
whose company was one of the defendanls,

IRRIGATION FOR TWO MILLION ACRES
Some recoils r Fact. Brooght Ont lu
Regard to F.ffert of Taking; Water
from Htream for I'nrpoaes
nf Irrigation,
WASHINGTON. Nov. )9.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has Issued a report
giving the results of an Investigation of
Interwater" rights on the Platte river and
Its tributaries and dealing with the water
right problems on this stream In the states
of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.
The Issues dealt with In this bulletin
are similar to those now being litigated
In the United States supreme court with
respect to the water of the Arkansas river.
They comprise the relation between
rlprarlnn rights and those acquired by ap
propriation in the same state and the re
lation between approprlators' rights in the
different states. The report says:
The Platte river and Its tributaries Irri
gate l,!i2l,463 acres of land. Some of the 1
best farming land sells for $, and none i
that Is Irrigated sells for less than tlO an ,
acre. Fllty years ago this land was re
garded ss a desert and was practically
worthless. If the right to use water In
Irrigation were taken away from It, It
would be practically valueless today.
More than 600,0fl people live In the Irri
gated territory on this stream. Not all
of them depend on agriculture. The cities
of Denver, Cheyenne. Laramie, North
Platte and a score of other towns with
their machine shops, flour mills, papr
mills, beet sugar factories and transiwrta
tlon Interests, ail tend to augment tho im
portance of water, because not a. city or
town, a factory or a railway can be as
sured of the privilege of using tho water
of this stream without securing a right
thereto through a definite legal pro
cedure. The value of water rights for irrigation
has risen from $4 an acre to fc!6 an acre,
and stored water sells for even higher
prices. Water to Irrigate an acre of land
has been sold for 116 a year.
The average flow of water In the South
Flatte and Its tributaries Is ijl cubic feet
per second. Against this supply, rights to
30.R!i7 cubic feel per second have been es
tablished In Colorado and Nebraska. The
area Irrigated from the North Platte and
Its tributaries is about 900. ono acres. In
Nebraska riprarlsn rights are recognised,
as well as Ylghts of appropriation. Being
Inherent in the land, the first named do
not require any legal procedure for their
establishment.
The measurements of the water used
and the water returned to this stream
brine- nut the fact thst a large percentage
lit the water diverted by a particular canal
is not wholly lost, but returns to the
stream and Is used over and over again.
Some of the measurements showed that
In low water the return seepage tends to
Increase the flow of streams rather than
diminish it.
NEWSBOYS BRANCHING OUT
Maaa Meeting: Held to Farther
Project for Enlarged
ttaarters.
Saturday evening the Omaha newsboys
and their friends held a mass meeting In
their club rooms at 1416 Farnam street.
The meeting had for one of Us .itijects
the rousing of enthusiasm toward securing
new quarters In the nature of a home for
the boys in the near future. Rome MllUr
was one of the principal speakers of the
occasion, and he was received with itiusing
cheers, as "one of the wealthiest and best
men of Omaha, who was once a newsboy."
Mr. Miller thanked the boys for their
cheers and said he was proud that he was
once a newsboy, and that it was nothing
to be ashamed of. A newsboy should not
be contented with his lot. however, but
should keep trying to get Into belter work,
where he could use his sharp wits. ylt
rests with you," he said, "as it rested with
me, whether you ever beaome anything
better or whether you climb the ladder."
Mr. Miller then told of the scheme for the
new home and asked all the boys to laki
ai Interest In the matter, saying that lit
tle could be done unless the boys hcipnd.
It was agreed to place the matter largely
In the hands of the boys themselves, and
a committee was elected consisting of
Mogy Bernstein, Tony Costa nxo anil Joe
Carroll, who were to supervise the matters
of the new home. Mr. Miller's name was
proposed by the boys, but he preferred
that they have those who were nearer to
them In Interest.
It was arranged that Physical Director
Pentland of the Young Men's Christian as
sociation should give lessons In physical
culture once a week free of cost.
A uniform stvls of badge was adopted
by the hoys In accord with a sample which
wss presented at the meeting. Dr. Kalal
tendered his services free to sll the boys
as he has been giving It for some time.

of the new home, made the announcement
thst a lunch counter would be "provided,
where the bos could get xvhst they wanted
to eat at the actual cost of getting it. That
things might begin to improve at once, he
gave orders that instead of a 1-cent cut
of pie the boys should hnve a quarter cut
hereafter for the same prire. The boys

Christmas dinner, at which the guests of

Andrews, Mrs. Miller, Miss Miller, Miss
