REVIVAL OF CANAL BUILDING.

pectations of business.

peCtations of business.
One of the financial phenomena OF
the country. and. indeed, of the world, q,
has been the revival, within the past
twenty years, of an interest III the
projection and construction Of artiii
cial Waterways. A generation and
more ago the canal was the popular
means of transportation OF freight.
In 1925 began an era in railway build
ing. The example of the Blackstone
canal, III our State, shows the result
Of this new undertaking AS the
building OF the Providence and Wor-
ccstCr railroad was the dcathblow to
the prosperity of the Blackstone
canal SO it was to universally.
But the year 1870 marks II revival of
interest III canal building. This sin
gular fact and its explanation are
discussed in the most recent OF the
publications of the American Econo-
mic Association, by Edmund J.Jamcs,
Ph. d.. of the University of Pcnnsyl-
vania, PIT. James first calls attention
to the increased activity i'll this class
of projects i'll Europe and Ill this
country. In Prussia and i'll France
this interest has been very great. In
the East IL canal is III process Of con
struction through the Isthmus Of
Corinth, uniting the waters of the
Eg;can sea and the Gulf of LcpantO.
The North sea and Baltic canal and
the Manchester ship canal are pro
jects Of great commercial importance.
He finds the chief cause in the
failure of the railway to realize the
expectations entertained of it. 1t has
failed, he says, TO secure as low rates
as the public and shippers insist
should prevail. Charges of railroad

all Standardization, English,

. A FREAKY BOY.
Engagement in Cheyenne of a Queer
n Lad.

Sidney Sanders. a boy about IL, has
played a quite brilliant engagement here
in the last four weeks. He came from
Denver and appeared at the high school
with the announcement that he believed
this place offered better educational ad-
vantages than the Colorado capital. He
borrowed books from the teacher and at
his request was installed in a swell board
ing house. He was without means
and Rev. R. E. Field and others
provided him with suitable clothing
and arranged for his keep. The
teacher became suspicious OF the lad and
when she ran across some books she had
loaned him on the shelf in an exchange
told the boys beneiactors. Investigation
developed that he had been a pupil in a
Denver high school but had not read law
in Patterson's office as he said. Other
ctookedness was unveiled and he was
charged with fraud. Sidney skipped at
ono after the expose. He donned his
old clothes and went out into the night in
his stocking feet. This vas three days
z and though dillgent search has been
made there is no trace of the lad. Yes
terday a mar came from Denver looking
for Sidney. 1t is thought the boy is of
weak mind. He is a plausible, ~insinuating
youth, but somewhat freaky.

Executive clemency has been extended
Ed. ]. Linn and Harry Thos. Hall, WYo-
ming c%onvicts at Joliet. They were sent
over the road in 1887 for four years each.
Linn was a bad cowboy. In a general
melee at Fetterman one night he turned
loose with his sixshooter and killed an
old man who was passing the saloon, a
on-combstant who wa attending strictly
to his own business. While awaiting
trial Linn, with others, escaped from the
Albany county Jail. During the hunt for
the fugitives two special deputies shot
down a couple Of railroad laborers near
Chug, this county. One of the latter
died. Lam was captured at Omaha while
inquiring at the postofice for mail.
Hall is a darkey. He killed a comrade
OF the cavalry while walking from Fort
Mckinney to Buffalo after dark. 1t was
expected that he would be hanged, but
j. r. Dixon defended him SO ably that
the verdict was manslaughter.
Inns crime was very a~ggravatinR and
at the time of the killing Hall was called
a cold blooded murderer.
