DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, 0REG09, THURSDAY, JANUARY 80, 1913. Vgi Threw HODGES IS REAL GENIUSOF CANAL Colonel G. W. Goethals Tells of Assistant, HE MADE PROJECT POSSIBLE "Would Bo No Canal but For Harry F. Hodgea," Saya Chief Engineer He Invented New Dealgn of Locke, Con ceived Idea of 'Archea In Approach Walla May Get Promotion, "Colonel Ilarry F. Ilodg6a Is the man who designed the canal. Be la lbs genius. Without him there would iiavo been no canal." That Is what Colonel George W. Goethals, engineer la chief at the Panama canal, has to eay of the technical expert In charge of the construction of the great water way. The engineer in chief spoke bis praise In a recent Interview at Wash ington. Colonel Goethals says further: "'Colonel Hodges Is a man of detail. When he designed the canal he worked out the deslgiiH In detail, never over .looking any small thing which made tor the success of the canal. As the work nears competition criticism of the project, technically or otherwise, is being refuted by the project Itself. "It Is not generally kuowu why tile Approach walls of the locks are arched. The Impression Is that the urches were put Into the walls to save concrete That question never was considered by Colonel Hodges. The reason he de signed the walls with urches was be cause) of the danger of the waters of the lake washing up and Into the locks. "There Is a mean wind which blows down across Lake Uatun from the aiortliwest. Had the approach wnlls been of solid conditio the waters of the lake, whipped by the wind, would have washed Into the locks. As It Is, the wind may whip tho waters of Lake Ontun into a foam, but instead of pil ing up on the dam and Into the lucks the waters will bo driven through the arches to the opposite side of the lake. To Come Up For Promotion, The foregoing Is but one of the many details which Colonel Uodges considered when ho designed the canal. The mechanism for hinging the great gates was designed by Colonel Hodges, The type of gnto Is of his design. "Too much prnlse cannot be given Colonel Hodges for his part In the building of the canal. 1 reiterate that tut for Colonel Hodges there would .not have been a canal." Keen uso of his work and the credit (Tlvon him by Colonel Goethals, Colo nel Hodges will come to President Elect Wilson as tho leader among army olflcors for promotion. Colonel Hodges is the one most to be credited for the present stage of com pletion of the canal, a feat declared Im possible by tho foremost engineers of the world. He docs the actual work from the engineering standpoint. Dur ing Colonel Goethals' absence be as umcs charge of the canal zone, la Unassuming and Direct. Since grnnduatlug among the first live of the class of 1881 of the Military Academy he has won the distinction of clng called one of the greatest engi neers of the day. Kor fife years be di rected the work of river and harbor fortifications, and in ljfWl he was niude chief engineer of the department of Cuba. Ills work and rcpuation gained by skillful handling of all sorts of navl nation and engineering problems led to Ills being selected as Colonel Goethals' .assistant .As u man he Is unassuming, quiet vnd direct. Ho has the respect of ev ery man under his supervision, and on tho isthmus he is considered a marvel. After It had been decided to build the Gntun dam It was necessary to deter mine tho amount of water It would take to I1U It to the spillway, the amount of water required to raise ships of a certain size, and then bow jbest to utilise each gallou of water. Ill solving this problem he Invented a style of lock which has now become the standard of the world. Ho designed .locks so that ships of different lengths may bo raised by using Just water enough to lift It By a unique arrangi iincnt of culverts ho so arranged the double set of locks that the water used for lowering a ship In one set of locks will be used for raining a ship in the other set The first largo ship will be sent throUL-h on Jan. 1. 1U13. and will be the historic battleship Oregon, with Its commander during the Kpanlsh-Amorl-can war, Hear Admiral Clark, on the bridge.

II') went directly to tho haunts of the slnyor, and, after standing him and bis friends up against tho wall, proceeded lo tell them that their time had com .

Oregon City, Ore., Jan. 29. Traffic on the Southern Pacific railway was delayed 10 hours this morning ns the result of four cars of a northbound freight train being derailed at Pulp Siding, three miles south of this city. One car that was derailed was dragged two miles before tho train men knew of the accident. Just before the train passed New Era the rear truck of one of the cars was derailed, and it was not until tho car struck a cattle guard that the train men realized It was off the track. The cattle guard wns broken and tho truck fell into the hole. The end of the car was badly wrecked. Other cars were thrown across tho wrecked one. No one was injured and most ut tho cars remained on the trnck.

There have been unpleasnnt rumors nbout conditions at the mule school, which few persons credit, but the ru mors havo hnd the effect of amusing Superintendent Tllllnghnst, who has challenged tho state to make the tmwt thorough Inquiry possible into the man sgement of the Institution.

Salem Teacher Writes Book on Word Mastery Miss Florence Akin, who last year was a teacher In the primary depart ment of tho East school, this city, now a teacher in Pasadena, California, is author of a book entitled "Word Mas tery" for uso in the primary grades. Tho book Is just oft tho press of tho llouglilon-Mil'flin Co., and has been placed on tlu market. It. represents several years' diligent work by tho author. The little book Is unique, no other work of tho kind having been publish ed before. The purpose of the work Is to give students phonic practice In mastering a good working vocabulary in English. It may be used with any sorles of readers, aa explained by the author in the preface. Miss Akin holds that many teachers are not sufficiently familiar with the principles underly ing phonic analysis and tha building of words to feel sure that they can make their phonic drills as economical and effective as they should be. Tho book will save much waste of energy In the preparation of phonic work by lite teachers. Tho book receives tho strong rec ommendation of State Superintendent L. R.
