In the report is a statement TO the eff
feet that the conditions prevailing
throughout the country have been such
as to test the value of railway property
to greater extent than during any other
year in the existence of the company,
financial disturbances having fallen with
particular severity on the lines operated
west of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers. The operation of the road has
been attended with great hardships and
mitch difficulty. but notwithstanding the
strike and general reduction OF the aver
age rate per ton per mile, the company
has been able to pay It's interest and
guaranteed obligations and its usual dlvi-
dend, with a deficiency of si9i. i53.ss. Dur
ing the present summer Chat or 1ssD. the
report says. very gratifying increase

showed that that tree. as also evidenced
by the decay at the butt, had passed its

European Ship Canals
From the ceicago Reoori


The opening Of the Baltic ship Canal Is
an event &c unusual commercial Importance
Its construction was difficult and expen-
sive piece Of engineering work By means
Of it vessels viii effect great saving by
being able TO 70 direct from the Baltic to
the North Sea without the tortnous jour
ney around the peninsula projecting GA, to
meet the scandinavian countries
This and other attempts At ship canals
make IT plain that European countries are
not behind our own in such enterprises
They show. moreover. the great stress
laid on improved facilities for waterway
transportation n what may properly be
styled the age Of railroads there are more
waterway projects under consideration or
recently completed than ever before.
The Manchester ship Canal, which
makes that city seaport town. was com
plete1 at a cost Of about SIS, coo 000
Greece not long ago celebrated the com
pletion Of a canal across the IsthmGs of
Corinth at cost Of over sl2 600, 600,
which was tremendous outlay for that
little country.
Projects are under consideration for
making Brnsseles and Paris seaport towns,
as was done with Manchester. Brussels
already has a channel. used for ordinary
canal boats, which it is proposed TO turn
into waterway for ocean going ships.
With the help Of the River Seine it is
now considered feasible, from both the
engineering aud financial points Of view, 10
connect Paris with Hayre, aud in the early
future it Is believed such work viii be
attempted Another French project Is for
a canal from Bordeaux to Narbonne. 325
miles long, connecting the Atlantic with
the Mediterranean. Besides its CONNER
cial Importance such canal would be Of
military value, as il would enable France
To enter the Mediterranean without passing
the British stronghold, Gibraltar. A part
Of the money wasted in Panama would
have built this canal Italy Is also con-
sidering projects for canals connecting it,
opposite shores One would pass through
the leg of the geographical boot, near
Rome The other would pass through the
toe, and would save the journey around
Sicily or through the difficult Straits Of
Messina.
Chicago ambition for waterway to
the sea appears to be more ehimerical and
probably would not be 50 very much more
expensive than projects that are being con
sidered and carried out in Europe.

WHEN TO CUT TIMBER.

Some forty-fve years ago | had for a
neighbor doctor, who also carried on a

close observer He told me he had read
that If timber was cut in August it would
last much longer, and that the second year
the bark would drop off and leave the sap
wood firm and hard and took me out to a
fence that was made Of rails cut and split
in the August before Thus writes H.
l.. Brown to Colman's Rural World We
found the bark dropping off and the sap
wood as hard to cut as the heart part. 1t
was an object lesson that has been Of great
benefit to me.
