AGAINST THE HIGH PRICE OF

The President Of the Wisconsin Ed!

. vigorous protest against the sIactions
Of the type founders, and then turns his
attention to the paper manufacturers in
the following vigorous and somewhat
unpublished style:

that hs is fred out by special consent
and decree. and will not be allowed to

will consume about four months. The
cattle, horses. saddles and entire outfit
will be purchased in Eastern Oregon.
There are GO persons in the entire COM
pany. eight Of whom had gone on
before. The money necessary to carry
on this enterprise will aggregate nearly
half q million dollars. 1t II not an
experiment, ss the managers made the
same trip last year. making large profits.
The party stopped three hours In

negroes who were sweet singers. They
had musical instruments along to while

When Thomas A. Edison. the elsctri.
clan and inventive genius, passed through
this State. he inquired II the saoebrush

almost everywhere in Nevada, were utii.
lied. On being informed that these
plants were used for fuel, and only that
purpose where wood was scarce. he re-
marked that sooner or later they would
be utilized for other purposes. as Nature
did not design that shrubs which grow
everywhere in valleys, foothills and
mountains from the Plat valley, in Ne
braska, to the Sierra Nevada, should be
worthless. Now, 1t appears that Pro-
lessor Stillman. Of the Chemical Depart.
ment OF the California State University,
has discovered that crossword sxudes
q valuable gum. An exchange says that
Professor Stillman, at q recent meeting
OF the California Academy Of Sciences,

analysis OF the gum found on the Tore.

the boring Of It by q certain insect. to be
essentially the same as that from which

This creosote plant, called also grease

and others present who know the plant,
stated that the emulation occurs only

can doubtless be made to yield the gum
by amply tapping and by other modes,
and thus the hated crossword be made
to contribute to the wants Of mankind.

The preliminary survey has been en-
tirsly satisfactory, o perfectly practicable
route having been found. Ny engineers
are still at work on tho isthmus. The
time when work will begin on the canal
will depend upon when the money Ii
raised. Funds for starting or this
undertaking were furnished by my per-
sonal friends. The bonds l expect to

cial agents here. I shall let America

OF the bonds. We shall put out
not more than $40, 000. 900 Of the
bonds. The engineering difficulty raised
by the character Of the Chagrss river
will DO met by building q huge dam. OF q
cost OF 100, 600, 900 francs. This seems
large. but II must not be supposed to be
unsafe. There are three dams In existence
that are a. large: at st. Etienns, France,
La Giuiappa in Belgium. and at Alicante
in Spain. The latter has stood for three
centuries. All these dams are from 40
to SO metres high. This whole affair
reminds me OF the circumstances that
surrounded the agitation concerning the
Suez Canal. There were the same OBJ.
jections and the same croakings. En-.
cheering problems and international
questions were all criticised in the same
way. The croakers have now only TO
