The Nicaragua canal bill advocated by
Senator Morgan provides for the issue of
800, 900, 900 of stock, the United States
to receive $40, 900, 900 of this as paid up
stock, the government of Nicaragua
So, 900, 900, the government Of Costa
Rica $500, 900; 100000 in stock
and $4,000, 900 in bonds goes to
the Maritime Canal Company of
Nicaragua, to enable it to cancel
Indebtedness and reimburse it for outlay
already made The remaining fifteen and
a half millions Of the stock is to be sold
by the company not less than at par, to
raise the money needed for construction.
The United States for its $40, 200, 900 OF
capital stocks is to guarantee interest at
three per cent ON bonds to that amount is
sued by the company, these bonds to be
secured by first mortgage on the canal
property. OF the fifteen directors of the
company the United States is to have ten,
these to be appointed by the President and
Senate. The bonds are to be payable in
1924, but are to be redeemable after that
date at the pleasure of the United States.
This appears to be the most feasible
scheme thus far advanced for securing
both the building of the canal
and the control of it by our govern
ment, both of which purposes cannot be
seriously called in question unless we
are willing for some foreign power to
build and control it and perhaps through
it hold the key to commercial supremacy
and to the development of our own
country.

..Under Friendly Eyes,"

Miss Olive E. Dana has certainly given
the reading public most delightful and
entertaining book in the twenty two
short stories she has published with the
pleasing title "Under Friendly Ewes.
They are stories of New England life and
as we have already said are rich in the
local color of our own Kennebec hills and
valleys" There is subtle analysis and
truthful delineation of the strong,
sturdy character to be found in our own
rural towns and villages, that leave us
no room to doubt but what the writer
has drawn her sketches from life. They
are exquisitely drawn too. Miss Dana S
style is wonderfully clear and direct,
and she has the rare faculty Of so wildly
and yet deftly drawing the environments
happily intermingling her descriptions
with the colloquial portion of her stories,
that there is no friction in the movement
of her narrative, and no loss of interest
from start to finish. A careful reading
of these stories must, it seems to us, con-
vince the careful reader that Miss Dana
possesses the gifts to place her in the
front rank of New England story writer's
She has written only of those scenes and
phases of character which have come I'M
der her personal observation, and with
which she is familiar 1t will be found
too, that she has been an exceedingly close
observer, for her stories abound in those
little unobtrusive and yet effective,
touches that give her scenes the charm of
truth, and impart to her characters a
warm human interest We feel that we
have already met them, so familiar are
their surroundings, 50 natural their ex-
preston.
IN this sympathetic analysis of the
character of our New England rural life
and the vivid faithfulncss of its delinea-
ton, Miss Dana reminds us strongly of
Sarah Orne Jcwctt. The most marked
difference is found iii the fact that Miss
Dana is disposed to give greater promi-
hence and emphasis to the ethical feat
ures of her work. This is, doubtless, due
to the fact that "a number of her stories
have been contributed to the religious

Valentine, 'sSimon Meals Charity, =
"a Belated Thanksgiving, Luther
Inheritance ''Abners Way, Grand
mother McLean's Vacation, ''and Miss
Hannah's Harvesting" 1t is in these
stories that we find the strongest expires
sion very similar to those that have made
Miss Jewett famous, and leave no doubt
that the young writer whose work shows
this strength and finish, is destined to
win a very secure place in the front rank
of New England story tellers.
Miss Dana's book is model of typo
graphical excellence. 1t contains 800
pages neatly printed in large clear tyre
and is handsomely and tastefully bound
in ornamental English cloth. The price
