Colonel Goethals Reports That if More Occur They Will Neces sarily Push Date Beyond Jan uary 1, 1915, Scheduled Time. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29,—No defl- nit* date for the official opening of the Panama Canal is set in the an nual report of Colonel George Go ethals, chairman and chief engineer of the Canal Commission, which has just been submitted to Secretary of War Garrison. Neither is there any pre diction as* to when ships may pass from ocean to ocean. The first day of the canal’s actual operation still depends upon the treacherous slides of Culebra Cut and how fast the dredges can work to keep the channels open. “It ha* been the general belief that the effect of the water in the cut would tend to retard slides, and ex perience below the Gatun I^ocks fully justified this belief," said Colonel Goethals. “On the other hand, tha geologist is of the opinion that the water may to some extent develop new slides. Again, much ado was made in 1909 over the seamy character of rock on the Isthmus, through which water flow* quite rapidly, in conse quence of which the question was raised that the lake might leak out through seams and crevices. “The Sooner the Better.” “If these things are liable to occur, tli<=» sooner the better, if the official opening of the canal is to ocfrir Jan uary 1, 1915; for if water were not admitted this fall, bus were deferred until May 1, 1914. the full height couid not be reached until October, 1914, leaving little time for the determina tion of these questions. These con siderations led to the conclusion that the water should be turned into the cut at the earliest date practicable for getting the dredges to work <:n the slides. “The present plans, therefore, are based upon the blowing up of Gam boa Dike on October 10, its removal by dredges immediately thereafter, the transfer of two* suction dredges and a ladder dredge to the Cucaracha slide, the smaller dipper dredges to work on the other slides until the full width of the channel is attained, and the passage of vessels through the canal as soon a* channels of full depth and of sufT -lent width have been secured. Cost $349,505,222 Thu* Far. The financial operation* of the ca nal are told in big figures. The dis bursing officer has paid out $20,524.- 705 on pay rolls alone. Congress ho far has appropriated $349,605,222 fjr canal construction, of which $10,676.- 950 went for fortification*. In great detail Colonel Goethals tells of the engineers’ work during the last year, and with particular sat isfaction it is reported that the mech anism of the vast locks and dams was tested with success. The gates at Gatun were swung in one minute and 51 seconds for each leaf. The heavy- iron chains which are depended uponr to prevent an unruly vessel from crashing into the locks were raised and lowered in ample time to meet any emergency. The locomotives which will tow the ships through the locks were tried out., and the elec tric installation which will invoice the use of a current of 44.000 volts. Baby, in Mail Sack, Transshipped at Sea SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.—“Hold on with that mail sack!'’ shouted Captain W. W. Greene, of the Chiyo Maru, as they were about to throw It into the pilot tender California off the lightship yesterday afternoon. "We want to put a baby In it.” ’ So they opened the sack, and two- vear-old Hiya San was slipped into a bed of picture post-cards. A freight boom was swung outboard, the sack fastened to the fall of a rope and down it went safely into the boat. W’hen the Chivo reached open water on her wav to the Orient yesterday It was found that a Japanese woman and her baby bad failed to leave the ship. The woman was assisted down the Jacob's ladder.

Hansen, of the State College of Agri culture and Mechanics Arts, has just j returned from a fourth trip to the j wilds of Siberia, bringing with him | one and five-eighths tons of hardy I alfalfa seed, an amount in excess of his own and his friends’ fondest hopes when he set out on his expedition last j Mat. The seed is of the hardy, upright, yellow-flowered Siberian alfalfa, Med- lcago falcata, which has already proved Us worth in the western parts I of South Dakota, and even far up j into Canada, and It. was to get addi tional supplies of such seed that his State sent him abroad. The problem wa* to obtain more seed. The people of the State were eager to solve this. Consequently the ast Legislature passed two measures, one providing $15,000 for further ex perimentation with seeds and plants under a nursery system adapted by rofessor Hansen to the varying con ditions of South Dakota, and the other providing $10,000 to send Professor Hansen to Siberia to gather such a crop of seed a* he could on the open steppes in regions he had previously explored with success. In both of these bill* Professor Hansen was named as the rnan to conduct the work. The work was by no means easy. The horses of the expedition were wild and unruly, wild animals at times gave a good deal of trouble, and the problems rrf the commissary were not without difficulties. The diet of the party for the most part was limited to mares’ milk, fat-tailed mutton, broom corn and coarse wheat bread. Alfalfa,seed was by no means all that Professor Hansen obtained, how ever. A find of exceptional value. In his estimation, is that of a hardy red clover, from a region where the rain fall is about eight inches and where there is little snow for protection, and the mercury frequently freezes. Of this seed Professor Hansen brought back 142 pounds. With this experi ments will be made with a view to adding a new clover to the crops of South Dakota 4 A new wheat has also been added to the list as a result of this trip of Professor Hansen’s. It is a Mongo lian wheat and has a large kernel And along with this comes a large, white-seeded millet which gives gen-., erous yields with only an eight-inch I rainfall. This is the “cornerstone" of 11 dry land agriculture in Siberia, and is used as a food for both men and beasts. Couple in ‘Schooner’ Make Overland Trip REDONDO BEACH, Nov. 29.—A typical prairie schooner, driven by- two travel-worn horses, pulled up In front of a grocery store on Catalina avenue.

The woman explained that the family w-as immigratipg to California t<> get away from the cold winters. The man gave his name as John Burrows, of Salina, Kans., and stated that he had resided on a small farm near that city. Teachers Opposed to Simplified Spelling MILWAUKEE, Nov. 29. — Simplified spelling and a school survey proposed to be made under State direction did not find favor in the eyes of the Wisconsin Teachers’ Association in session here.

The vote against the resolution io co-operate in the survey was unanimous. Half of White Slaves I Recruited in Kitchen DETROIT, Nov. 29.—“Mqst of the girls recruited for white slavery come j from the homes, not from the shops and factories," said Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, president of the National Florence Critten-ton Mission. “Watch your own daughter, you women.
