Ell alcalde don Policarpo de Eche-
varria, rindiendo tribute sus antiguas

extracto de la liquidation de los presu-
puegtos ordinario adicional de 1890 a

FaciI sers probar que, lejos de haber
superG5it, existe IN deficit respectable,
que entorpece Ia buena marcha de Ia ad-
ministFaci6n municipal.
Aceptando los datos que contiene ell
mencionado extracto, resulta:
Deuda pendiente de pago $3.53s-s4
Credito favor del Ayun-
tamlento.- .----.-.---..-. 2.365-54

F1s decir, que el presupuesto ordina-

81. I63 80 centavos.

supuesto adicional.- Importe de los

Por 10 tanto hay que considersr ese

de diffcil cobro; y por ende, puede afr
ularse, sin tenor q equivocarnos, que ell
dia 81 de Diciembre de 1891 no existfa
en- el Tesoro Municipal On solo centavo
para cubrir la respectable deuds de
$40. 989 80 centavos.
Esta situaci6n econ6mica que atravie-
sa ell Municipio no es satisfactoria y
halag1ena, como sustenta don Policarpo
de Echevarrfa, sino por 10 contrario, es
tan shictiva y angustiosa que .coloca al

Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1892-09-30


ward Beecher was born at Easthamp-
ton, Long Island, Aug. 81, 1903. The
famous family included in its members
father and six sons, who entered the
ministry, one of them becoming the
most famous pulpit orator in the land;
and four daughters, one of whom wrote
a world famous book, and another of
whom was widely known as an edu-
Gator. DR.. Beecher was the second son
and third child of his father, and after
an active life as teacher, pastor, college
president, author and editor for more
than half a century he is still in fair
health and vigor, taking lively interest
in all the affairs of the country.
He entered Yale college at fifteen and
was graduated in 1929, then went to
Andover Theological seminary, and
after some years of teaching, writing
and preaching was elected first presi-
dent of the college at Jacksonville, Ills.
and located there in 1880. He had mar
ried two years before, and his wife, four
years younger than he, went with him
to what was then the remote west, near
the banks of the Mississippi. Only
twenty-seven years old, President
Beecher took up the work Of starting a
great educational institution. He re-
manned its president for twelve years,
and in that period sixty-two students
were graduated.
While in Jacksonville the Alton riots
and death of Lovejoy occurred, and DR..
Beecher wrote a spirited account Of the
affair. He was threatened with punish
ment as an abolitionist, but never
fiinched. He went next to Boston and
preached till 1855, producing in that
time some much discussed books. He
then took the pastorate of q Congrega-
tional church in Galesburg, HIS, and re-
manned till his SEVENTEEN year, when he
retired and located in Brooklyn. At the
age Of eighty-six he had leg crushed
by street car so that amputation was
necessary; he bore 1t heroically and
made good recovery. In his work on
Eternal Punishment" be declares
against belief in it, and in his "Con
fict Of Ages" there is fanciful, almost
fantastic, theory about this world being
sort of hospital for the correction OIL
cure Of souls, and that we all survived
in previous state. AS he knows al
much about the last world and the mex
world as any other man, his specula
tons are quite entertaining.

The latest British statistics go far to
prove that the potter has almost the
worst Of trades for unhealthfulness.
After the age of thirty-fve their mortal
ity is exceeded only by costermongers,
miners and hotel servants. This high
death rate indeed in this speciality has led
the register general of England to seri-
ously consider what, if anything, may
be considered a remedy. 1t is claimed
for America that in this respect the pot
tiers are much better off, working as
they do in factories that are larger, bet
ter lighted and ventilated and where
the use of anthracite coal so universally
prevents the smoky atmosphere which
surrounds the English pottery. The
main trouble, however, the extremely
fine dust, is common in both countries.

In 1882 many town in the south and
west was guarded most efficiently, and
in 1S49 it was 50 common as to DO q rec
ognized custom. IN that part of the
south near the Mississippi the people
often erected temporary booths or open
sheds in the woods. Any traveller seized
by any sickness having the slightest re-
se1nblance TO cholera had to go to one Of
these booths. He received meiical at
tention and fairly good care, and after
his recovery or death the booth and all
his bedding was burned.
During the last yellow fever vista
ton in that section the practice was re-
duced to a system, and so it was in
Florida. The traveller on approaching
a village was often confronted by a
pleasant spoken gentleman with gun.
and unless he could show a clean bill of
health and that he did not come from
an infected town he had to make a
wide detour to get around the town.
1t was rude and Illegal. but very eff
fective, and should the cholera get into
the interior travel will for awhile be at
tended with unusual Inconvenience

SAULT SAINTE MARIE.
A CANAL OF LARGE COST AND
INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE.

1t Is of Equal Value with the welIand
Canal as a Waterway. and Is the Sub
ject of Dispute Between the United
States and Canada.
The discussion with Canada about
waterways and particularly about the
Sault Sainte Marie canal is of timely
interest. Indeed one of the first thoughts
suggested to the French explorers who
first saw the Sault was that 1t would
some day be of vast commercial impor-
tanee. The statement has since been
repeated by every writer on the locality,
and the only wonder is that develop
ment was SO long delayed.
There is a confusion in the public
mind as to names in that vicinity. rom
Lake Michigan to Lake Huron there is
an easy passage through the Straits of
Mackinac, and all in American territory;
but from Lake Superior to Lake Huron
is long and very tortuous passage, in
terruptsA by rapids and forming the in
ternational boundary between Canada
and the upper peninsula of Michigan.
This passage bears the general name of
st. Mary's river or strait, and is con-
sidered sixty-three miles long, measured
from the head Of Tequamenon bay, ON
Lake Superior, to the head of Drum
mond island in Lake Huron.
Now, as Lake Superior is $50 feet
above the sea and Lake Huron 575 feet,
the result is obvious-rapids in the con-
Meeting river. These are known as st.
Mary's falls or the Sault de Sainte Mary.
In three quarters of mile the fall is
twenty-five feet; below that the strait
spreads into 50 broad a river that its cur

rent is no obstacle to the largest vessels.
To circumvent these rapids was the
problem for engineers. The big bend of
the strait is toward the north, that is
toward the Canadian side, making the
cross cut short on the American side,
but in running the boundary the large
island of st. Joseph, at the lower end of
the strait, was given 10 Canada.
In 1910 congress provided for the pre-
liminary survey. In 1852 a grant of
$50, 900 acres of land was made TO Mich
igan, out of the proceeds of which the
canal construction was to be paid for, as
it was all in the one state. In 1853 work
on the canal was begun, and though
more than half of it had to be cut through
solid rock it was completed May 10.
1855, and vessels locked through it sue
cessfully. The canal is u miles long,
the width Of the lock is 50 feet and
its length 515 feet. The commerce
grew 80 rapidly that the work was
surrendered to the general government
in 1881, and new lock begun, which
will be 800 feet long and 100 feet wide,
with depth Of twenty-one feet water
over the inter sill.
1t is a surprise TO learn that one-eightt
of the water commerce of the United
States passes through this canal. Its
tonnage far exceeds that Of the Suez
canal, and last May / rps vessels passed
through it, or more than two for every
hour of the day and night. When com
pleted the new lock will have cost about
5000, 900, and the canal will then be the
greatest ship canal in the world. Though
the lake shipping has grown to such pro-
portions, it is still in its infancy, so to
speak, as the ideal freight route from
the new northwest is through the lakes
to Buffalo and thence by rail to New
York.
In the season an all water route from
Duluth to Montreal and the Atlantic, as
also to Lake Ontario, necessarily lies
through the Welland canal, which civ
cumvents the falls of Niagara, and lice
wholly in Canada. Hence the present
contention. Canada promises to have
also her own canal around the Sault
Sainte Marie, but has not named the
time when it is to be completed. At the
recent conference the Canadian repre-
sentatives proposed an exchange Of privi-
leges between the two countries in the
Welland and st. Lawrence canals and
the Sault canal, but as the American
representatives complained of unjust
determinations against American ship
ping in other respects they declined to
consider the proposition.
Science declares, and experience has SC
far confirmed it, that the route which
includes the longest water transport and
the shortest rail Transports the success
full one in the end. With their own
canal around the Sault Sainte Mary the
Canadians would have this ideal route
from their far northwest to the Atlantic
and on return their rail route would
begin at Port Edward, on Lake Supe
rior, and run thence to British Colum
bia and the Pacific. To the ordinary
eye not versed in diplomacy, however
it looks odd that the mere accident Of
national boundary between two peo
pies so similar should demand two routes
when but one is really necessary.
