DEEPENING
THEJARBOR
Work, Which Will Take Two
Years, Has Commenced.
POWERFUL STEAM DREDGE
The Beo? Facilities for the Task Pos?
sessed by Mr. J. Clement Sha
fer, Ihe Contractor?Has
Fifty Men.
Work on the oxocullon of the 240,000
contract for improvement of tho James
River and the harbor of Richmond ha_
begun, and will bo prosocutod steadily.
Of this amount about $?0,000 Is to bo
expended In deepening and widening the
channel und harbor for a dlstuncc of
about 3,300 feet, u|f to the lock of the
W. R. Trlgg company.
Mr. 3. Clement Shafcr, of this city, Is
tho contractor for the work, which Is
helng done under the supervision of the
Federal government, Captain Younge be?
ing tho engineer In charge,
ACTIV ELY AT : V W OR K.
Work has Juet been begun In the chan?
nel oft the Clyde Line dock by Contractor
Bhafer, who has the powerful steam
dredge M. J, Degnon, a tug, noverai
lighters and a force of about fifty men
at work scooping out tho sand from the
channel. The entire work, embracing
tho harbor Improvement nnd the con
?tructlou of Jetties and other. Improve?
ments to the channel, must be done
-within two yoars from April 4th. A be?
ginning has been mnde off tho docks,
and tho big dredge is steadily scooping
up" the sand and dumping it upon barges,
?whence It will bo towed down tho river
and dumped. It Is expected that other
dredges will soon" be put at work, and
that In a short time a hundred or more
laborers will be ongaged in the work.
The bucket of tho dredge now aL rwork
?will lift four cubic feet of,'sand iivery
two and a half minutes. Tho excavated
matter will be dumped on the Henrlco
?Ide from Warwick Park in the direction
of the. city. The dredging now In pro?
gress is. Oll what Is known as tho east?
ern port warden line, or on the Rich?
mond side of the channel.
A GREAT WORK.
Some Idea of the magnitude of the
work to bo done and of the benefits to
navigation that will follow may,, be
gleaned from' the statement that the
channel Is to be made two hundred feet
wide nnd eighteen feet deep at? mein ?
low tide a distance of 3,300 feet or more.
This uniform depth of eighteen feet at
mean low tide, which will m?tti tw?r?ty
ono feet ot water at high tide, Is to be
established from this point to Hampton
Roads, thus enabling vessels with a draft
of from eighteen to twenty feet to reach
this city and tie up at the docks. For
years the harbor has been filling up until
now there Is hardly more than .three
feet of water at low tide In some places
In the harbor, and It Is difficult for large
vessels to reach th<v docks and .to turn
nround 'In the chairnel; Navigation of
tho river has for some years been dif?
ficult, owing to tlie filling up of the chan?
nel. In deepening the channel of tho
river up to the Trlgg lock It Is stated
that In order to roach, a depth of clgh
teeen feet from two to four feet of rock
blasting will be required. In addition to
dredging out the sand. Caplaln'John A.
Curtis, harbormaster, who knows every
foot ot the 'bottom and .Is an? experi?
enced waterman, yesterday m.-tafe that
statement to a reporter for Th? Tlmes
Dlspatch.
Mr. Sharer's contract embraces not
only the harbor work, but the building
of the, Jetties below the city and the
deepening of the channel where neces?
sary. R will probably tako about all the
two years to complete the Job.

PRESIDENT TALKS ON
ARMY AND PHILIPPINES
(Dr Associated Press.)
FARGO, N. D., April 7.-Notwtthstand
Ing yesterday's severo blizzard, the weath?
er to-day was clear and bracing, and the
programmo for tho reception and address
ot President Roosevelt was carried out
according to plans. Tho special train ar?
rived here during the early morning, and
nt 8:30 o'clock tho local reception com?
mittee waited on the President, Riid after
a brief and Informal reception nt the
train, escorted him In carriages through
tho business portion of the city. One of
the features was the welcome accorded
by the children of the city, several thous?
and of whom were asse'mbled where tho
President was able to greet thorn.
After the drive the President wns escort?
ed to a stand in front of the Waldorf
Hotel, where lie addressed a large and
enthusiastic crowd on the Philippines.
PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
The President's speech In part was as
follows:
My Fellow-Citizens:
The Northwest, whoso sons ln the Civil
War added such brilliant, pages to the
honor roll of the republic, likewise bore
a full share In the struggle of which tho
war with Spain was tho beginning.
Threo and a half years ago President
McKinley spoke ln the adjoining State of
Minnesota on the occasion of the return
of the Thirteenth Minnesota Volunteers
ftom the Philippine Islands, whoro they
had served with your own gallant sons
of the North Dakota Regiment.
Ho spoke of tho Islands themselves as
follows:
"They will be given a government of
liberty, regulated by law, honestly ad?
ministered, without oppressing exactions,
taxation without tyranny, Justice without
bribe, education without distinction of
social condition, freedom of religious wor?
ship, and protection In 'life, liberty and
tho pursuit of happiness.' "
It Is a good thing to look back upon
what has been said nnd compare It with
the record of what has actually been
done. If promises ore violated, if plight?
ed word is not kopt, thon those who havo
failed in their duty should be held up to
reprobation. If, on the other hand, tho
promises have been substantially. mado
good; if the achievement has kept pnce
and more than kept pace wlth.the prophe?
sy, then they who mado the one and aro
responsible for tho other aro entitled of
just right to claim the credit whloh at?
taches to those who servo ?ho nation well.
This credit I claim for the men who
have managed so admirably tho military
and tho civil affairs of 'the Philippine
iRalnds, and for thoso other men who
so henrtlly backed them In Congress.
After referring to the conditions with
which the army had to contend, tho Pres?
ident continued:
: "It was impossible that occasional In?
stances of wrongdoing should not oc?
cur. Tho fact that they occurred In re?
taliation for woll-nlgh Intolerable prov?
ocation cannot for ono moment bo ad?
mitted In tho way of excuse or Justifica?
tion.
"But these offenses wore th? exception
and not tho rule. As a whole, our troops
sltowod not only signar courage and ef?
ficiency, but groat humanity.
"At the prosont time tho civil govern?
ment Is supremo and the army In the
Philippines has been roduced until It Is
sufficient merely to provide against the
tecurronco of trouble.
"Tho government Is conducted purely
In tho interests of the oeople of tlio
Islands; thoy aro prot.ootod in tholr re?
ligious nnd nlvll rights; they havo been
given an excollont and well ndmlnlsteretl
school system, and each of them now
onjoys rights to -'life, liberty and tho
pursuit of happtnbss' such as were never
before known In all tho history of tho
?slnuds.
".Moreover, Congress appropriated threo
million dollars, following tho precedent It
set when tho people of Posto Rico woro
afflicted by sudde ndleaster,
"Moreover, the last Congress enacted
some admirable legislation affnctlni tlio
army, passing first of all the militia bill
and then tho bill to or?ate rt general ntnff.
At last we have taken from the statuti
books tho obsolete militia law of tho
Revolutionary days and. havo provided
for efficient aid to tho National Guard of
the States.. Tho gonoral staff law Is of
immenso importance and benefit to tho
regular army?
"Wo do not need a large regular army,
but we do need to have our small regular
army tho very host that can possibly
bo produced. Under the worn-out and In?
effective organization which has hither?
to existed, a sudden stra|Q Is absolutely
certain to produco the dislocation and
confusion wo saw at the outbreak of the
wtir with Spain.
"Under the law Just enacted by Con?
gress this system will be changed Im?
mensely for tho bottor, anq every patri

a great medicine when a man is not

Bleep and irregular meals. It is also a
great medicine to tene up and regulate
a man. There is such a pleasant taste
to it and it seems to go Tight to the
spot. I use it and recommend it. There
is more Swamp-Root used ,by Kansas
City firemen than any other medicine
twice over. Yours truly,
Assistant Chief,
Kansas City (Kansas) Fire Dep't.
I jrfully give my endorsement t?
Dr. ?iiimer's Swamp-Root, which t lia?!

ache In the back, joints and muscles: makes your head aoh?
and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble;

you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength) get weak and waste away.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and Is used In the leading
hospitals, recommended by physicians In their private practice, .
and is taken by doctors themselves, because they recognise In
it the greatest and most successful remedy that solence baa
get up many times during the night, tJnhealfhy kidneys!ovor been able to compound.
