years the controversy over gates or no

the face of fear in some quarters that the

GENERAL GRANT TESTS
NEW EMERGENCY RATION
Sabatala en One-Third Aaaouit
Thowght Requisite Daring
Three-Day Itlde.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Sl.-Durlng the re
cent three-day physical teats of army
officers. Major General Frederick D.
Grant, commanding the department of the
east, tried out the new emergency ration.
General Grant carried three packages, one
for each day, and returned with two of
the packages unopened, having used but
one on the entire rlda
The general says he suffered no Inoon
venlence whatever and found the ration
sufficient In all respects. - Outside of the
ration. General Grant took hot coffee In
tha morning without sugar or milk, cold
tea In the same way at noon, and hot
water In the evening. One-third of the
ration was -palatable and . sufficient dur
ing the seventy-two hours and he expe
rienced no 111 effects nor eras-log for food.
The new emergency ration la composed
of chocolate liquor, nucleo-caseln, malted
milk, desiccated egg, sugar and cocoa
butter. It Is put up In neat eight-ounce,
light-blue tin boxes. Each box contains
three cakes, one cake being sufficient for
a meal.
tlon company, a half of w hose independent
plant here has been given over entirely to
the 60.000 tons of
ateel required the heaviest single piece will
weigh about clgiTAeen tons. These will be
the base girders, which are seven feet long
and which will be placed much like the
tlrst floor girders of a skyscraper. The
series of girdera above them will range
from 3.S feet apart near the bottom to 6
feet apart at the top, and over the skele
ton structure thus formed a sheathing of
water-tight armorp'.ate will be bolted,
much after the fashion of clapboards on a
house. The thickness of the plates will
range from an Inch at the base to T-lti of
an inch at the top. The weight of a sin
gle gate will be about 600 tons and the di
mensions are 77 to &! feet high, 60 to 65 feet
wide and 7 feet thick.
The thousands of individual pieces,
numbered and fitted to go together as
easily as children's blocks, will be shipped
by steamer via Baltimore and with them
will go over four hundred skilled struc
tural steel builders from Pittsburg to set
them up. The advance guard of experts
leaves here In December and the first
work probably will begin early in lull.
It will take three years to complete the
job.
The location of the forty-six pairs of
gatea will be twenty at Gatun dam on
the Pacific side, twelve at Pedro Miguel
and fourteen at Miraf lores near the At
lantic entrance. The gates are designed
to hold back water 47.4 feet deep In a
channel 110 feet wide, which means a
pressure of a million pounds. Engineers,
In reply to alarmists, aiolnt out that even
If a tremendoua explosion or earthquake
should damage or destroy one or more
sets of gates, no great disaster would en
sue,. or all locks are to be made in dupli
cate, to accommodate traffic in both direc
tions at once, and the wreckage of one set
of locks would only necessitate the diver
slon of commerce Into another set. But
really violent earthquakes have not oc
curred In the Panama region for more
than two centuries and It would require
a mighty aelge for an enemy to destroy
the locks.
Each lock will be ample for a ship 50
per cent larger than any vessel now
afloat, and It has been estimated that as
many as a hundred ocean ships may be
handled In a aingle day. There are no
locks approaching these In size. The
famous Suez canal Is a sea-level affair
! and the few great lock canals would have
to combine their gates to equal the size
and strength of the great doors of
Panama.
In those European countries where the
deaths are least per 1.000. continues the
statement, rescue apparatus has been In
use for some time.

of the finest farming states In the union
and the people of the east are beginning

a remarkable gain In Idaho population, for j
new people are coming In by the tram

from the home of Joseph C. Sibley Is to
the effect that neither the former con

slenderet chance of recovery. Mr. Sibley
blames himself for Mrs. Sibley's condition,
her breakdown having rerulted from
charges brought against her husband as a
candidate for the rebulican congressional
nomination in this district. She had urged
him not to run.
Dr. H. P. Hammond said today hope for
Mrs. Sibley had been practically abandoned-.
Her chief trouble Is mental. She
Is bedfast. Mr. Sibley Is able to sit up,
but attempts to walk result In attacks of
dlxx'.ness from heart weakness. He eats
but little.
An audit of Mr. Sibley's $42,600 primary
election expenses Is set for November 4,
but It la not believed he will be able to
appear. On August ?$ Mr. Sibley and three
Warren county men were, arrested on a
charge of conspiracy to debauch voters of

CAIL,
A Motor Car Is Worth What It Pays You In Service
Have you ever noticed that it is the man who
does not own an automobile who does most all the
talking about the expense of running one?
The man who owns a car appreciates that it is
worth what it pays him in service, and that this
far overbalances what he pays for the service.
Whether a man is extravagant or not depends on
what he gets for his money. "Economy is the judi
cious expenditure of money."
If you really need a thing, you are paying for it
day by day, whether you own it or not. It would
be possible to do without gloves or an overcoat, but
the service these things render you far outweigh
the price that you would have to pay for them in
money. Doing without a motor car means doing
without the service which that car would give, and
a good car will render more time-saving, labor-saving,
efficiency-multiplying, health-building service
in a given length of time than anything you can
buy.
The automobile is the most efficient private servant that
man has ever built for himself. It is ready to go at a
moment's notice. It does not have to be watched. It goes
over any route. It rung on no schedule except the owner's
will. It helps him to entertain his friends and business
associates. It takes his wife and daughter out shopping,
calling, or to the theater. It takes the whole family out
into the country in the sunshine and fresh air, giving
them enjoyment and health. It is so durable that it out
wears a locomotive, so comfortable that old people and
babies can ride in it for hours without fatigue.
For $1500 you can buy a servant that will do all these
things for you and many more. What else could you buy
for $1500 thst wouli give you as much pleasure and as
much profit as this motor car? Twenty horses and car
riages could not do It for you, nor one thousand railroad
trips. In fact, there is no other way except with a motor
car that you can live this life and have these pleasures.
Does Sijoo seem like a large price to pay for this service?
It ' a Creaf Pltatar to Baild
Good Aalomobilat
Even the man who builds a
really good car at tremendous
expense is happy in doing it.
But how much greater is the
happiness of the man who
builds a really good car at
reasonable expense, to sell at
medium prices, like the Chal
mers! That man has a right
to be hsppier than the other
because he has done a greater
thing. He has the satisfaction
of offering people the same
kind of service and enjoyment
for a lower price. That's
something a strong man can
take pride in.
The designing of the Chal
mers "30" was a two years'
task. Our designers took ad
vantage of all the most ad
vancsd ideas of both European
and American builders. This
car unquestionably hag been
the most successful car of its
class.
The Chalmers '3oM is the car
that won the 1910 Glidden
Trophy in competition with
cars twice its price and power.
The Chalmers "30" has
never been defeated in any im
portant contest by a car of its
own price and horse power.
Any man who wants a car
for service and does not re
quire extreme power or seat
ing capacity for more than five,
will find every requirement an
swered in this wonderful car.
The 191 1 models are on ex
hibition at our showrooms.
We shall be glad to give you a
demonstration.
