/ DISAPPOINTING REPORT.

The report of the Nicaragua canal
commission will be great disappoint-
ment to the people of the Pacific slope.
The whole trend of the commissions
statements is unfavorable to the project
as now contemplated, and advises that
the subject must be studied at greater
length, and more exact data obtained
before. the undertaking can be com
menced. A provisional estimate, made
by the commission, places the probable
cost of the canal at $133. .472. 1893, or
nearly double former estimate of $685.
S93 $3.50, made by the Maritime Canal
Company. At the same time their esti-
mate is made the commissioners cay 1t
is liable as much to be an underestI-
mate as over the mark. The topogra-
phy of the country, the character of the
soil along the proposed route are so un-
determined as yet, that the commission
states it's inability to arrive at any esti-
mate which it is willing to hazard as
correct.
The present report differs widely from
the statement sent out by the canal
company and made by the friends OF the
enterprise in congress. AS an example
The Maritime Canal Company had pro-
posed to build rock fill dam, which
would hold the lake and river at a navi-
gable elevation and connect the river
and the Caribbean sea by canal in ex'
cavation. The canal company esti-
mated the cost of this project at $977,
273; the commission says this work can
not be done for less than $40 900
Such discrepancies occur at Tariou;
places throughout the report.
In order that the necessary knowl
eldge may be obtained upon which
more reliable estimates can be made
the commission recommends that $3.50,
600 be appropriated by congress for ad
ditional surveys and examinations
These latter should be completed with
in eighteen months.
Dampening as will these statement
be upon the ardor of those who are in
terested in the Nicaraguan project, it /
better that the truth be learned at tn
beginning, and not that the enterpris
be begun under promises which are sur
to fail of realization. Very rarely d
the estimates made of any great wor
prove too low and it is very probabl
that the report of the present commits
sion is nearer the truth than the pre-
vious statements sent out by the cana
company. The building OF this grea
waterway between the oceans will be
tremendous undertaking and it IS we
that it begun with all possible iniorma
tion in advance. The Panama cana
which has proved the colossal failure {
recent years, was begun with the sam
bright hopes that attend the Nicaragu
project. The recommendation of tn
commission that sum be appropriate
sufficient to cover expenses of surveyin
is wise and the appropriation should
one of the first acts of the incomin
congress.
Although the report of the commissio
is not what the proprietors of the cani
project would wish, yet in nowise shoul
1T be allowed to hinder long th
splendid scheme for the quickening
commerce between the Atlantic and IL
Pacific. This project though once but
dream, has now the commendation
all who wish our country to grow
greatness. The United States must ha'
the canal whether the cost be sevt
million or twice as much.

people-that of starting up our factories,
giving employment to idle workmen,

his aggressive ideas on the subject should
not be thought of as bar to his nomin:

Miss Newman's Recital.

To a score or more of music lovers
there was afforded treat last Saturday
afternoon at piano recital given by the
pupils of Mics Aimee Newman. Every
one present felt that not only were the
pupils receiving a thorough musical edu-
cation; but they were besides taught
many most essential, though usually
neglected, things. When participants
would modestly and correctly enter the
room, seat themselves at the piano, and
after playing gracefully acknowledge
the applause given, they showed very
plainly thegood training they had re-
ceived at the hands of a conscientious
teacher. While all reflected great credit
on their teacher and on themselves, and
made their friends feel justly proud, we
cannot refrain from especially mention
ing the Beethoven overture "Prome-
thus'' by Clara Nickelsen and Georgia
Sampson, and the solo. "Les Phalenes,"
played by Lena Liebe. The "Sherzo-
Valse'' OF GODDARD, by Miss Clara Nick
elsen, showed she had received excellent
training and that she could do herself
and her teacher honor when playing in
public. The last number on the pro-
gram, of course, delighted all present, as
Mics Newman ever does. Always ap-
pearing at her best, she has made the
people of The Dalles feel they have a
musician to be proud of in their midst.
After responding to an encore, the fol-
lowing program was brought to a close

lessen fat.
There is less risk of loss in a vari-

Good layers are generally active
and on the move.
Sell off all the old hens and the
surplus cockere1s.
Goslings are very tender before
they are feathered.
The time to gather duck and geese
feathers is when they are ripe
When the hen is confined it is very
important to give her bulky food.
Whenever the poultry can have a
free range they will need less feeding.
Weight and size are important fac
tors in rendering the fowls market
able.
Be sure that the nests are free
from lice before the hens are set in
them.
Hens may leave their broods too
ear y if fed freely with egg producing
foods.
Fairly Matched chickens are only
profitable when they have the best
of care.
The eggs should be washed with

Arrange, at least, a small yard with
wire netting around it, in which to
keep the young poultry.
1t is poor economy to allow poultry
TO have the run of the door yard and
especially around the we'll.
Turkeys must have plenty of room
if they are to be made profitable; they
will not bear confinement
Geese are very productive and
quite profitable. especially when they
can have the run of the pastures and
meadows.
BY keeping the chickens growing

Spirits of camphor will remove

Mustard or celery rubbed on the
hands will remove the odor left after
peeling onions.
When fish is served as a course at

For housecleaning time it's well to
know-that mixture of two parts of

Food becomes dangerous if put

An effective recipe for Kidding a
storeroom of a plague of red ants is
to dissolve a lump of camphor in
spirits of wine, add hot water, and
wash the infested places with the
mixture. Jumps of camphor tied in
white paper and left on closet shelves
will also be of assistance in driving
of the persevering ants.

hen does get out the young turkeys
can't. and give them all to one tur-
key hen. Have four or five inches of
old hayseed chaff all over the floor
If it is cool weather it must be kept
as warm as possible, and if it Is warm
weather the sunlight must get in
the greater part of the day. Keep
them in. till six weeks old, then when
you put them out choose a day that
is not too hot or it will kill them.
Watch them for the first two or
three days.
Until they are quite good size
when it comes a rain I always drive
them up and put them in coop. and
keep them in coops till the dew is
dried off mornings. Until they are
six days old feed them nothing but
this: Beat up three or four eggs like
you would for custard in pan, then
add four tablespoonfuls of sweet milk
for each egg, then set in the baker.
Don't cook too fast or let it get
brown. This makes a tough food
like custard, and after you have fed
this for six or seven days mix corn
bread with it until they get used to
the bread, then leave the custard out
and feed them bread for awhile
Then feed them just little smear
case, make it real wet Change the
last two named feeds as often as YOU
can. Spread an old oil cloth or car
pet on the chaff and no feed will be
wasted or get dirty. Be sure not to
give water unless it is warmed, and
not more than what could make one
half teaspoonful to each one But
you can give them a pint Of warm,
sweet cream. aud if they get it all
over them SO much the better Every
morning cut up some grass and clover
fine. put in also pan of ashes and
one of gravel. If they are not shut
up and they get to the water they
will kill themselves before they will
quit drinking. Keep on feeding the
bread and cheese till they are big
enough to eat corn, but never feed
raw meal. and the trouble is over

OUR FRIENDS, THE NEWSPAPERS

In his address at the opening of the
Atlanta Exposition, President Collier
made the following graceful acknowl.
edgement of the aid given the enter
prise by the newspapers of the country:
1.-The occasion demands a special
acknowledgement of our debt to the
press, that agency whose power to
promote Or prevent, to bless or blight,
is incalculable. The newspapers
throughout the United States have
given their cordial and ncessant sup
port to our undertaking. They have
made common cause in behalf OF
this exposition; they have advertised
it to the world, and won for it fame
and fervor which could never have
been acquired without their ardent and
persistent Advocacy
The Atlanta Journal in referring to
President Golfers remarks very prop
erly says:
This is graceful and just recognition
of the aid the newspapers have given
the Cotton States and International
Exposition. President Collier did not
exaggera,e the valoe of their work in
promoting the great enterprise. The
way in which they treated the open
ing of the exposition proves that the
newspapers are still giving it their en-
thusiastic support. From the press in
all parts of the country comes chorus
ofprase for the exposition.
Without the cordial aid Of tie
newspapers, says our contemporary,
the enterprise would have been impos-
sible. They have been among the
most powerful factors in the creation
of the great exposition, and their con-
tinued support will be of incalculable
value to it.-Norfolk Landmark
