Mir. Estrada gives personal attention to the wants of his patrons and is very attentive and obliging. The popularity of his line is thus very easily accounted for. All leaving the train at Torres should not fail to look up "Pancho" and engage a seat in one of his stages. He is al- ways on the lookout when the train stops at the station.
 M Barnes has a concession to estab- fish water works to supply all the camps, and was expecting his partner this week, from San Antonio, Texas, to file the necessary bonds and begin the work An ample source of supply, some twenty miles away, has been secured, and rights of way for pipe lines, etc., from the source all the way to the camp and in and through the towns, with a concession to supply water for public service at handsome prices. The concession is a big thing from which Mir. Barnes and his asso- ciates should and probably will realize very handsome returns. The estim- ated cost of the works will be S15O,O00 in gold.

Guiana and Venezuela.

II NAV surprise some that more is not
heard Of what Guiana has to say in this
Venezuelan difficulty. Were the contro
yersy between Canada ana an adjoining
state we should hear more of what Can
ada had to say than of England's opin-
ions But Canada IS an altogether
different colony than is Guiana, in gov
eminent as well as in area ard intelli-
gence of tho people. Including the area
gobbled," about 30, 900 square miles,
the whole area of Guiana Is only 100, 001

about 23 miles of railroad and 400 miles
of river navigation. 1t cannot in any
sense, be regarded as an American govern

Venezuela on the contrary, is a re

that of the United States. The President is
elected every two years and has, to advise
him, six ministers and federal council Of

President has no veto power There are
eight independent states and a federal
district and each state has a Legislature
of its own. The external debt is about

standing army in 1898 numbered 1880
officers and men and the number of men
able for military duty is estimated at

The House Chairmanships.

Tho announcement that Speaker Reed
had appointed Mr.. Dlngley chairman of
the ways and means committee, Mr. Mill
ken chairman of the committee ON public
buildings and grounds, and Mr.. Boutelle
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs, occasioned little if any surprise in
this State. Nor is there any conceit in
believing it proper for the State of Maine
to have the speaker of the national House
and the leader on the floor of that House
and three of the most important chair
manships. From the first it has been
recognized throughout the country that
this disposition would be made if fitness
alone were considered Some have argued
that political expediency should prevent
Speaker Reed from according SO many of
the desirable honors TO his own State,
which in any event Is sure to support his
presidential candidacy Those who based
their expectations upon the hope that

That fact ought now to be apparent to

there will be few complaints and that the
speakers manly, statesmanlike course
will meet with general approval.
