The dredges, working un der the water, can take out more ma terial in much shorter tinfe than can the steam shovels, but, nevertheless, the shovels were the tools that re duced Culebra mountain and made the waterway possible. The last steam shovel to work in Culebra Cut was No. 210, manned by Frank Loulan, engineer, and S. H. Brian, craneman. It picked up its last dipperful of earth on Thursday after noon, September 11. The whole history of mechanics con tains no more thrilling story than the attack of the s'novei gangs on Culebia mountain. How the American spirit was displayed in the constant increase of efficiency is • something of which every American must be proud. The story of the cutting of the cut through Culebra mountain is vividly told in “The Panama Canal,” by Fred eric J. Haskin, and that it is accu rately related is assured by Colonel Goethals, who “O. K’d” the engineer ing chapters of the book. This remarkable book is now being distributed by The Athens Herald for the mere cost of production and hand ling.

Some of this will be held for evidence until the cases pending against the perrons now held for smuggling are cleared up. It was said today, how- \ that the government may not un dertake to prosecute all /f the pend ing cases of this nature. HAS NOT IMPROVED BASKETBALL TEAM ON LAST EVENING Even an unusually attractive per formance of Grand Opera could not deter the interest of the men at the Young Men’s Christian Association last night. Practicajly jfrom 5:30 un til 10 o’clock the variotV teams com posing the fast post-season basket ball league were hard at work getting into close team-workmanship. TChe captains, each of-them, having played together van to appreciate each other's foxiness and cleverness in finding weak spots. Me dium height men are shifted into po sitions where*' the opposing captain reckons on finding a tall.or short op ponent. Their- methods- at this time sud9#n changes of players on a call signal worked so quickly as to confuse opposition. This is truly a mark at. basketball exceedingly pleasing t»tbe onlooker. Of course, better basketball is al ways expected at the end of the sea son, but staleness is always looked for by the knowing ones. This, how ever, cannot be said to exist among the men at the Y. M. C. A. this year, but, on the other hand, a speedier and more accurate bunch have not been seen on the association court for long time. The league iwhich Is now being worked will continue for five more weeks, playing a double-header on each Friday night, beginning at 8 o'clock. Dr. W. W. Brown, Ac 11 known as an expert official and player, ha3 been persuaded to act us league referee for the series. This will insure clean basketball, and at the same time have exceedingly scrappy and fast games. It is to be hoped that the lady friends, as well as the gentlemen, of the Y. M. C. A. will turn out in large numbers to see these games, which have been specially designed for their entertainment'. Nearly tiwo hundred front balcony seats are at your dis posal. A small admission fee of ten cents taken at the door goes towards being applied to a basketball deficien cy incurred earlier in the season.

With this advantage in their favor the Y. W. C. A. team is determined to even up the past game by a decisive victory tomorrow night. The Y. W. C. A. is an institution originated here, supported and backed by the good ladies of our city. The game Friday night is for the ladies of the town. If you are interested in the Y. W. C.

C., February Senator Bacon's condition continued unimproved today. In fact, his fiver rose to 103 this afternoon, the sixth day of his illness, and bis friends have begun to feel concerned. The doctors have not yet definitely deter mined whether Senator Bacon’s fever is due to typhoid or pneumonia. While the broken rib is said to have knitted, an X-ray photograph will be made to determine whether the fracture was properly set and if any inflammation has aet in. Never since he sustained the broken rib has he complained of any discomfort that he could attribute directly to his in jury. Mrs. W. B. Sparks, of Macon, ar rived tonight and is assisting in car. ing for the senator. No meeting of the foreign relations committee was held today, and the arbitration treat ies were not taken up because of his Well, what do you know about this—only one case of a violation of the traffic ordinance on the pellet docket in the last twenty-four hour* ? Fact. G. H. Williams (who did not ap pear at court) was charged with a traffic violation. He was fined $5.00. Along the line of traffic violations was the case against John Dougherty, colored, who had rode his wheel Oil the sidewalk. John acknowledged the offense, and the judge fined him $1.00. T “I spects you'll hit me beiVJr, judge, next time,” said the defendant as he paid his fine. IS HELD Oil TUESDAY team and see your team try their very best to win for Athens. Every lady should have an interest in the success of such a work and the basketball game tomorrow night is one phase of the Y. W. C. A. work. The price of admission is only 25c. You will never get more real enjoy ment for the same money in your life. If you have the idea that our girls play this game, as if they were in a parlor and that you might get tired watching them, yoa are sadly mistak- Just come tomorrow night and you will never have to be asked again to support your home team. The expense of bringing the Gaines, ville team here is somewhat heavy and its up to the ladies to support their team and cheer them on to vic tory. Defendant Was In Negative Way Guilty At the morning matinee of His Hon or Price, John Fowler, colored, said he was “guilty of not throwing” a rock at a boy. The boy who goes by the name of “Rabbit” had another opinion of the matter. Judge Price decided that one round dollar fine would be a pretty good antidote for Fowler's propensity tat casting stones. Cliff Graham, a colored bey, had hiked on the sidewalk. He was as sessed $3 for the ride. THE ALASKAN BILL. Washington, D. C., February 5.— The Alaskan railroad bill, already passed by the senate, was taken up in the house today. By agreement, debate on the meaaure began as soon as the body convened at 11 o'clock.
