The history Of the struggle between
canals Of small dimensions and OF rail-
roads has been the Same In all countries.
The fight ragged bitterly for q number Of
years, the canals acting on tho defen-
sivo, although they had as allies tho
states under whose patronage they were
built and operated. The result has been
the same IN all cases-the unconditional
surrender OF tho canals to tho railroads.
This, however, is not so much tho fault
of tho system as Of their management
The railroads have great advantages

abridge distances both by treason Of supe-
rior speed and Of facilities for ovorcom.

but their great success Is mainly due 10
the fact that they have kept pace with
tho progress Of tho world.
Waterways built from the beginning
of tho eighteenth century TO the FIRST
quarter Of tho nineteenth century were
regarded ample to meet the requirements

no longer ful1ll the requirements Of

Woman's Indian Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Woman's Indian Association was held at
the First Baptist church Tuesday after
noon. Owing to the illness of the Presi-
dent Mrs. Ogden presided and gave many
interesting facts in regard to the present
state of the Indians and also made an
earnest appeal to the ladies Of the differ
ent churches that they see to it that no
one of the contract schools that are under
their control be closed. Much interest
was expressed in regard to The barrel
which the ladies are trying to fill for the
suffering Navajos. If any one reading
this notice wishes to contribute to this
good work will they do SO by leaving
such useful articles as any family needs
at the store Of J. Frye, Preble street, be-
fore Saturday of ithis week. Perhaps it
is not generally known that there is a
monthly paper published in behalf of
the Indians, which is but thirty cents
per annum, and can bring much useful
information to any home.

An Odd Bit OF Work.

Mr.. David G. Drinkwater recently found
in the attic of house where be was at
work bit of freesione beautifully polished,
and carved. On the top of stbe stone was
the name 'Charles Crowley and it is re-
called by old residents that many years
ago man by that name was mai BILE and
granite worker here, and that he came 10
this city from Boston, where his father was
we'll known in the same business. The
carving on the ST one was probably designed
for a monogram, but Mr. Drinkwater is I'M
able to recall any old citizen TO whom il
could have belonged, and it is difficult to
see to what use tit was to have oeen put
The carving was too small TO Lave made it
of any use as an ornament to the outside of
block. For whatever purpose it was de-
signed it must have cost the carver much
time and trouble, for the result was very
elaborate and handsome job Mr.. Drink
water has shown it 10 some of the Oldest
residents, but The once noted carver is now
