1247-1248 THE QUEBEC BA STRUCTURAL W DCE ORK INCLUDING Sinking of South Shore Main Pier Caisson Progressing Favorably-Also Transcontinental Work at Cap Rouge OVER ONE THOUSAND MEN EMPLOYED Though the work on construction on the Quebec terminals and equipment of the port has not yet been commenced the public will no doubt be gratified to learn that the structural work in connection with the Quebec bridge and building of the round house, ete, at Cap Rouge is progressing favorably.A Chronicle representative paid a visit to the bridge site at the Chaudiere on Saturday afternoon and at Cap Rouge yesterday, and was agreeably surprised te observe the activity of a Mrge number of wérkmen in the employ of Mesers.M.P.& J.T.Davis, rontrïttors, Who ace sphsing né- ef-{ (orts to carry and complete the terms of their contract in good season.\u2019 The beach at the Chaudiere is indeed & busy one.There is a regular village of workshops in full blast day and night in connection with the sinking of the esisson for the new pier, and some six hundred workmen in the various branches necessary for the work employed.These comprise 300 men who work at the sinking -of the caisson, known by the cognomen of sand hogs, and 300 others employed as blacksmiths, carpenters, stone cutters, laborers, etc.The caisson being sunk is one of the largest ever placed in position to go dewn such a depth as it is desired to reach, There have been larger caissons sunk in copnection with dry docks and other important publie works, but ne so large in dimensions and bulk as the present one at the Chaudiere.The dimensions at 55 by 180 feet and 4 feet in height.| There is an immense amount of skilled work in connection with the sinking of this caisson, which is superintended by a competent engineer, who must have associated with him foremen and master mechanics of experience who thoroughly understand the work, for which they are paid high salaries.After a retrospective view of the surroundings and the work in progress, the Chronicle sought out the en wineer in charge, a thoroughly competent and courteous gentleman, but to modest to allow his name to appear in print.He said the caisson, after preliminary preparatory work, had been placed in pesition for sinking some few weeks ago.-and now had reached a depth of 21 feet un- ner ordinary high water and four feet in the river bed under low water mark.He could not say how far down the huge.weighty and strongly built box, with ita various departments for concrete filling, would go.but would certainly he sunk from 60 to 70 feet, in accordance with the advice of the inspecting engineers, who would be guided by the material come into contact with, that must form the resting foundation.sound and safe in every particular to meet the import.tant conditions disclosed.There were 300 sand hogs now employed in digging the hottom inside the cassion, who worked day and night at a shift of eight hours per 100 men.But according as the caisson is stink the time nf working shift will he of shorter hours and more men employed at the inh.The rate this will be adJusted by wn adéfitionat sum when the caisson is well under the river bed and the time of the the shifts reduced to 114 hours.The men could not stand to work any longer under the strong air pressure when the low depths are at tained.BE Protection of Workmen.The.contractors, Messrs.N.P.and J.T.Davis, are obliged to take extraordinary precautions to protect the workmen from serious conse- A physician, Dr.McCrae, is constast- ly-at thre works to attend to- the phys- \u201cical \u2018condition \u2018of the men.Before they enter the cassion they enter the specially -prepared- dressing room to change their clothes, and there undergo a rigid examination by Dr.Me- Crae, who decides their physical tit- ness to go to work.They are also examined after they leave the place of confinement to see if they have contracted any ill effects that would cause them to take a rest until the doctor would consider them able to go back to work.Last year the sand hogs employed by Messrs.Davis came from tie United States by an arrangement made by their union in New York.that contracted to supply the firm with experienced, good men, and Messrs.Davis agreed to abide by the rules of the union.Besides the wages paid the men, the Quebec contractors agreed to pay their railway fare to and from the works.Messrs.Davis learned by.experience that the New York union agents were not sending them practical sand hogs.but instead any man whom they could pick up in the streets of New York.This impelled them to run their own business this year so far as employment of labor was concerned, and when the work commenced this spring the frm declared that they would recognize no union, they would employ whom they pleased, but fay the same standard wages.This decision has encouraged quite a number of local workers to attempt the work, and today fully half the men digging in tht caisson are laboring men of St.Romauld, St.Michaels and Sillery, who are digging well, and looked upon with favor on account of their steadier habits.At present the air pressure in the caisson is five pounds, which enabies the men to work eight hours with out complaint.Later the time will be reduced to six hours.then four hours, and finally 14 hours.in accordance with the depth of the caisson under the river bed and the oppression of the air pressure necessary.When the shifts are thus started the number of men for the work will be increased, until.according to a statement from Mr.M.P.Davis.1000 sand hogs will have to be employed, as the work must proceéd without interruption day and night until the job is completed.Besides the weighting of the huge lot of concrete in its apartments ns it is sunk.the granite or masonry will he built on its top that will go down with it.the contract is no small one by any means, and besides of wages at present paid the sand hogs is $3.50 for eight hours:

metres because of a strained ankle, and the failure of the popular Itallan champion, Lughi, to get a place In the final of the 800.The athletes of the United Kingdom, whose predecessors taught tae world sprinting, long-distance running and bicycling, had & bad day.Except for the colonlals, Great Britain took a back seat, having no representative in the final of the 100 mtres, | hejng shut ont of the Anal i the 800: and having small prospect of winning the 10,000 metres unless the colonies carry the Union Jack to the front.This naturally has depressed all Englishmen, both the athletes and the spectators, but they carried themselves like sportsmen and were prompt to congratulate the victors.On the other hand the meeting proves that the continentals.particularly the northern races, are not behind the British and Americans in the qualities that go to make athletes.They need only practice in the special sports they have taken up recently to hold their own.The exhibition in the Stadlum Is as hard for a spectator to follow as à three-ring circus.There was something doing on the cinder track most of the time to-day, and within tme oval the jumping and Pentathlon events.At one end the wrestling contests were in progress.The wrestling includes feather, middle and heavyweight.In the preliminary bouts alt the contestants were, Europeans from the northern and Slav countries.No American or Britisher participated.The heavyweights were the most popular, some of them swarthy giants in the scantiest tights.They wallowed around the platforms under a fierce sun for hours like fighting bulls with horns locked.From lime to time throughout the afternoon a cyelist entered the Stadjum.black haggard and dust cove ered from the race over the rough roads around Lake Malar, The race, which began at 2 o'clock this morning, and was over a distance of about 200 miles, was won by Lewis.of South Africa, who covered the course in 10 hours, 42 minutes.Grubb, of England, was second, and Carl Schutte, of Kansas City.attached to the St.Louis Cycling Club, third, The team combined with the individuat competition gave Sweden first place, England second and the United States third.The Swedes had the advantage of familiarity with the tortuous track.The compatriots of the men who finished sent up a yell of welcome when the national colors appeared.Some of the riders were glad to tumble from their wheels into the arms ov their handlers; others put on a proud spurt when they got into the limelight of the Stadium.The performances in the Stadium began promptly at © o'clock in the morning and continued until 7 in tne evening.In the meantime the riding competitions were being carried on in a suburban park.The swimming began after lunch and finished late tonight.The semi-final hests of the 10 metres swimming proved a fiasco, as the Americans McGillivray, Huszagh and Duke Kahanamoku, of Hawaiiwho had qualified by winning ther hests in the previous round.remained on the steamer Finland in the belief | that the swim was to be finished Monay.CAUSE OF EXPLOSION ON i CRUISER JULES MICHELET.Partie, July 6-\u2014The naval investigating commission reported to-day that the accident on board the French armored cruiser Jules Michelet off Hyeres on Jnue 26 by which four sailors were killed and nineteen injured, was due to combustible gases remaining in the guns after previous firings en the work of reliefs i nd te the gun cleaning being incoqy- $e Only one other number on the pro- |: ONE CENT.Montreal, Quebec, Paris, Frances 1.G.Beaubien & Co.Stock Brokers | Membors MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE.Private Wire to MONTREAL | AND !

bringing about of a union of the three QUEBEC, JULY & 1912 rts pin pete tt mntintl.THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT IN QUEBEC.With a prince of the royal blood making himself at home with us in Canada as our popular Governor-Gen- eral, and Ms Premier making himself at home in the social circles of England, there is surely some evidence that things are fot as they have been in conneection with the practical side of the question of the unification of the empire.It would perhaps be too personal, with the danger of being misunderstood, were the Chronicle to refer to what is being said of His Excellency as one who is playing the role of his elder brother, the Iate King Edward, as he goes in and out among his people.The Duke has meen, since his arrival, ready and willing to take an interest in the largest and smallest concetns which engage the attention of Canadian.And if these has tp be state cere (money in fie déslings with'the affairs of state, wy all now how Ne can set \u2018that aside when he is making a study of Canadian conditions for himself within the environment of any city he visits.As one writer says of him, he fs refreshingly demoeratic; and this puts us in mind of what his royal brother orfte said, when he was asked what he would do if the kingdom over which he ruled was changed into a republic.\u201cI would be a candidate for the position of its first President\u201d he at once exclaimed.We are all pleased to have the Duchess back to Quebec after her illness and trust that the more she sees of our city the better she will enjoy its unique \u201cnat- uro loci.\u201d The other day we referred to the condition of our outer avenues and highways, where nature has done so much to beautify them and Quebec itself so littel to keep them free from dust.But when the Duke and Duchess return on their next visit we hope to have the most beautiful circuit of driveway there is anywhere, wherein they may have a royal outing amid the historic scenes of the place whenever the feel inclined to take it.\u2018This will he one of the ways whereby we can show how much we appreciate the present visit of the Duke and Duchess, and Princess Patricia as well.We bid His Excellency \u201cbon voyage\u201d on his way to the West, CHURCH UNION AND COMMON SENSE.How strange it looks that, though three of our denominations in Canada are on the threshhold of church union, there are three of the congregations in Quebec which will share in the union eventually, who have not been able to arrange for a united service during the two months when so many families are cut of town, and there are such small audiences in the pews, One of the great arguments in favor of the proposed union smong the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists has been the argument of a saving of resources.We have not heard the arguments advanced against such united services in Quebec as we speak of.and possibly it is none of our business, anyway.All we have to say is that common sense has evidently prevailed in the churches referred to.And common sense is also at work in Scotland to bring about à unisn between the Established Church and the United Free Church, as it is also at work in the neighboring republic to bring about the union of such churches as have come to differentiate their creeds in the light of the broader criticism.In Scotland, however, there is an all but insurmountable difficulty in the way of church union.For, strange to say, while the economic aspect of the question of union in.Canada helped out wonderfully the other common sense arguments in its favor, this very economic aspect is to be the stumbling block in the way of having but one Presbyterian church fn Scotland.The so-called Church of Scotland is the Established Church in Scotland, just as the Church of England is the Established Church in England.both being run under the auspices of the crown.And one of two steps would have to be taken before a union could be consummated- V Y this kind has been raised against the holding of united servicks on the part of three of our Quebec organizations, though, after all, it may be only a rumor, : \u2014\u2014 THE EMPIRE AND CANADA.The news that comes from over the way seems to bear § message to Britain\u2019s colonies that by and by there is going to be no \u201cover the way\u201d between them and the Motherland, save in a geograpbica! sense.The welcome given to the Rt.Hon.R.L.Borden and his colleagues on their arrival in England is not so much s welcome to our Cansdisn ministers as it lé an ackyowledgement of the part which Canada is being invited to play toward making the British empire one and indivisable, Canadians hive been talking so long abeut empire consolidation, with a parochialism giving a bias to the talk, that we can hardly take In as sgriously as we ought to do, perhaps, the effects which the Borden missbon is going te have on the destinies\u2019 of Great Britain, aj a consolidating) eRipire high up among the nations of the earth.The reception given to the Premier 'of Canada is food for the mewspapers and their picture shows; but his mission is quite another thing to those who mean what they say, while claiming to be loyal\u2014ever warmly loyal- idly dev ; ; left by steamer Ionian to spend the rapidly developing section of Western summer months in England with her : Canada.Through tickets sold and d + * .reservations made by all Grand Trunk | Parents.; sold at the following prices ° agents.Trains now in operation Win- Me Frank Martin, of Vancouver, nipeg to Regina, Yorkton, Canova B.C.is in Pro 3 visite Pate 45 Sask.Ed \u20ac quest of his , , .ne Cote Mir ad Ein EE Value 60c sold at 45c Rent.x M.Holloway, of the sen GAVE LIFE IN VAIN oyal Rifles, has been promoted to be ATTEMPT TO SAVE.| lieutenant in the Royal Canadian alue C SO a Cc Philadelphia, Pa.July 6\u2014Two sea.| Regiment, .: men were drowned in the Delaware s Mr and Mra G.H.Doble left for River late to-night, one giving his life | St.Patrick's, Riviere du oup, on V | 15 Id t 55 in ain in an attempt vo save his com- | Saturday last, where Mrs.Doble will a ue Cc SO a C \u2014 rade.Thomas McClure, of Glasgow.| spend the summer, DOUBLE BONS All those who took advantage of our bargains last week will therefore doubly profit by next week's bargains, and those who have not yet paid us a visit.will come around next week.The sale will commence at 8 o'clock sharp on Monday, Bth July, and will continue all week.: We intend to conclude our sale as we commenced it, that is to say give much for little money and leave 8 good impression with our customers.Thus for 15 cents you can purchase a child's straw hat, and a linen hat for 19 cents ; men's straw hats for 39c, 49c, 59e.69c and 9c, a linen hat 25 cents.In this department all the prices have been cut in two.Ten per cent to fifty per cent discount on everything.; Alf kinds of silks, worth from 50.to $1.50, sold from 15¢ to $1.19.The prices are incredible in the department of linen and silk matinees.Large quantities of blouses and laces and what is now worth £3.75, is sold at $1.49, and what is worth $1.45 is sold for 69 cents.Besides the Double Bons, which means that we are even going beyond the promised discount of 50%.The same thing happens in the linen department, the prices vary from 24c to 69c for handsome corset covers, petticoats, nightgowns, etc., the whole well trimmed with embroidery and lace, MEN'S READY MADE SUITS.This department must be seen to understand the great reductions which are offered » « © even lower than in other departments.This is the proper time to get a cheap suit.NOTICE.dispo We are not exchanging bons this week.Please wait until next week when we will have more time at our sai.Come in crowds next week as you will find it to your advantage.while boarding the British steamer | Mrs.L.J.Belanger and Mrs, = Pomeranian at a wharf fell from the | Maloney have left for Trois Pistoles gang plank and Thomas Gordon, a and New Brunswick, and will return RUGS R GS member of the crew, went overhoard | to town the end of Augustto rescue him .Neither man came to Me.EB Fred Dugan.of Montreal, .=» the surface.arir n town on Saturday last to ¢ attend the funeral of the late Mr.W.A job of 50 Rugs in Axminsters SMALL CYCLONE LaRoche.He was accompanied by NEAR SASKATOON.Mrs.Dugan and registered at the and Wiltons .Saskatoon, Sask.July 7\u2014A miniature cyclone passed over the north end NO VERDICT YET IN it .$ Fin bon d'il pates À camvonier ræaL | Value $45.00, sold at $30.00 number of garages and smaller duild- | Viterbo, Italy, July 6-The President \u2014 \u2014_\u2014 ings were wrecked, but most of the | of the Court occupied vo much time in \u2014 damage was done in the neighborhood | summing up that it will be impossible of the Western Canada saw mills, a | to reach a verdict in the Cammorist large portion of the lumber in these | trial before Monday night.When t yards being whirled up in a vortex to | was announced Rapl exclaimed - a ee 9 ET \u2014\u2014 \u2014 #8 height of between one and two hun- !
