Kisco and Pleasantoille represents 'the Continental Divide, 'and Moll Haven would be at the Atlantic Ocean By FRANK HUNTERHUNTER POTTER. II C HERE ARE SOME obvious ad vantages in a lock canal ov«r one at sea-level These are smaller cost and quicker completion, (a nea-level canal would require the excavation of nearly twice as much material as the other) and the ob viating the necessity of digging through- ihe -Black- Swam^, w4th- +b+ almost insuperable difficulties. It would eliminate the need of side canals to carry off the water draining down from the hills in the rainy sea son, and it would provide, from Ga il to Gamboa, wide channels for the ips to pass and anchor, if they hose, instead of the narrow Chan el of the canal, which would be no \ider in a sea-level than in a lock anal. There are two principal objections de to the lock canal, flr»t that the la* project rests, are insecure, and second that passing through locks will entail delay and danger. _ The sea-level project would not do away with locks (though there would be fewer of them) for there would have to be tide locks at the Panama end, because there is a tide of twen ty feet taere, while at the Atlantic end it rises only two feet This would produce a current in the canal dangerous to navigation, and in the case of ehlps going with it would render them practically unsteerable except at a speed too hazardous to employ Moreover, experience has shown, in the Manchester Ship Ca nal -a-nd the Soo t —— thluugh which passes a tonnage more than double that of the Suez Canal, that ships can be handled in locks abso lutely without danger As to the first objection, that the foundations of the Gatun Dam are Insecure, a layman is not competent to speak with authority, he can only take the testimony as given on both sides and weigh it. The engineers In charge of the un dertaking have made many hundreds t ot_ borings nil over tlv; _sjie of t^be Bli j tUff^TB >re thah TdW hundred feet deep, and they assert that It will be absolutely safe They are men of the highest character, personally and professionally, and I cannot imagine any motive that would turn them all into abject liars, even If they were conceivably willing to risk their re putations on an undertaking which they must know was doomed to fail ure, and which would cousign tkem to eternal infamy, even during their own lifetimes On the other hand, the people who assert that the dam will fall ddwn are mostly irresponsible newspaper men, hungry for sensations, or en gineers who have not even visited the Isthmus. It is an interesting fact that meat- -engineers'- who Tiave gone to the Isthmus prejudiced in favor of a sea-level canal change their minds after studlng the problem on the spot Col. Goethals, engineer in charge of the work, is an example of this and one of the foreign ministers 10 the Republic of Panama told me that he had met an American engineer who had been sent down privately to study the matter, and who, after a thorough examination of all the facts, had .c2sa ^BJM|M >m an -oct'wuym to J, an adVolCct^^ue lockTyst^rd. In the case of some of th* • HL neers who advocate the sea U v« t in ' terested motives can at least -be sus pected One is connected with trans continental railways, which are bit terly opposed to the whole canal pro ject because they think it likely to Leaders of Bedford and Lewisboro Gather to lalk over Benefits of Closer Understanding Among North Westchester County Towns' rr^^'^ lt r, 'J^ i to do what Mii.itl re,nl linprnv • in. nt was thought in i • ssur> with Mien i I , and pick, we s. e today the spacious 1 homes of a ^ IJCW population, empft>\- j ing foremen, <oa<hmen gardeners ant I laborers and requiring macadamized | roads and other jmprovi iu< nts which , can only be obtained l>> public organ- | i/.ntions and a division of labor New ] < ondiuons are arising <\ i\ day and demanding in w methods and closer ] co operation on the pari of pnbln of j i f ic ers \The situation at U a*<li ingioti has bi i i! a noiKd one, and at \ll>any i questions have lately arisen of a n:i I lure to pc rplex a great inan\ of those ] concerned Hut 111 our lo< ,il affairs I we have a i lear course to travel and ' it is our first and most important business to attend to tie matters 1 that lie nt a rest us ' Supervisor K 1' Ham it mis cal , led upon for information about ihe I Police Hill which In latin r< d \fter | complimenting Assembly man Mead on the lielp given the nil astir- at \lbanj ! he said | \We arc now working out the dc i tails of a day and night patrol, which, considering that we have a greater than any Interests in common Wt all know i oth ?. r town In th.- county is no easy wfspre .i as a staumh Republican, , matter ttlUl the funds ;u ° ,lr «> m a^vf^'-jpet of our County Committee NAARDEN FARM SOUTH SALEM N Y SHORTHORNS MILK AND BEEF SIZE AND CONSTITUTION THE FARMER'S COW THE I AMILY COW HULL CALVES at 8 Week: Old $25 Wnlc for Ciriul .ii H A.Y lucmtial Republicans gath< rod at Horse and Hound, .South Salem, aturday evening last as the of Theodor- Langdon \ an Nrtrden They met to din-- and to talk over the advantages ot ,t better understanding politically among the ^Iswtix Weschester County tow us * W G Barrett was giust of honor and in calling on him lor a speech, Mr Van Noiden who a< l- d as toai-t llj^Vei said •\la only .t fi w more years Now YWrk ,'jty will have absorbed the lar ge! , tt A 'ns i > the South of us It n 'A -^vin swallow up \\ lute Plains in tii- course of its tremendous grot*ah_ \Such a developmtnt will shift the centre of our county s population N'oi-thwanl and give our towns a greater political importance than they i»if><y claim at present New condi tio :s will inevitably devolve upon the paiicy workers a greater responsibility tvhjch we can best discharge by har monious *nd concerted fiction for the general welfare. \/Evgn now Lewisboro.
