WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Mica
| ragua canal commission, which visited
| the isthmus last summer. presented
some features of its side of the canal
| question before the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce to-
day. Engineer Endicott denied the
statements of Warner Miller and En-
gineer Menocal, of the canal company,
that the investigations by the commits
sion had been of cursory nature.
The board was in Nicaragua AZ days,
and spent 81 days in actual field work.
Except in few details, the plan of
Engineer Menocal seemed to Endicott
feasible. While the company's plan
contemplate a caral 2S feet deep, the
commission was convinced that at Ger
tain seasons the water would fall to "a
feet, unless dams were built to
greater height.
Replying to question, Endicott
Great Britain. the government would
be Obliged to abandon the canal, but
misht solve the problem by blowing
up the locks. From a military point
of view, the canal was desirable.
The present value of all work done
by the company, Endicott estimated at
half million. Its harbor works at
Greytown were in bad condition. not
much of value remaining. Portions
of the work would have to he removed. !
The company's five dredges were sunk
in the harbor and were obsolete. His
estirn lte of the value of the company's
property. when in good condition, was
ST, ,250,0O0. He did not believe the
canal could be built for S75 200. 600 1.-THE
company's estimatel, even conceding
Menocal's plans to be feasible.
When asked whether if the govern
ment was willing to pay S133,000,000
for the canal, it would be advisable to
begin work at once. the engineer re-
piled that the government should make /,
more satisfactory surveys and estimates
before going forward.
1t was important that sufficient hy-
draulic data be secured, and also it was
possible that further investigation
would increase the estimates of the |
costs.

PROSPECTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES

Seven Weeks In the snow, and Four of

The prospecting party consisting Of
H. Ladahoff, J. Mccoy, Wesley and ].
Locke, James Langille, John Darke
and ]. H. Cradlebaugh, that left White
Salmon seven weeks ago, arrived
hame Saturday night. The persons
named had located claims on Mccoy
creek, branch of the Cifpus river,
about the north line of Skamania
county last fall, and desired to test
their ground in order that If good they
could make arrangements for going
actively and systematically at work to
open their claims as soon as the season
would permit.
They left White Salmon Tuesday
morning going as far as Trout Lake in
wagons. Thursday morning with their
plunder loaded on three sleds they be-
gan what proved to be remarkably
hard trip that lasted % days. The old
snow for forty miles of the road was
from Is to 20 feet deep, and the first
two days out nearly two feet of new
snow fell. The party arrived at it's
destination March 9th, and were on
the creek IL days. There was about 8
feet OF snow on the bars when they ar
rived and about feet when they left.
In consequence Of this,prospecting was
difficult undertaking. Mr.. Cradle
baugh is satisfied the ground will pay,
but how rich it is, is an unknown mat
ter. The creek is quite large, and the
bars not very numerous, the hillsides
being very steep aud the canyon con-
sequently of the "boxn order. The
area of lay ground is small and is all
located, there being but about mile
and quarter of the creek that Will
pay, unless the creek below the box
canyon, distance of seven miles,
should develop pay dirt. The party
will not go out again before July 1st,
as it will be impossible to get in with
horses before that time. The distance
from Trout Lake to the mines is about
65 miles.

1t is we'll established fact that the
American people are swindled and
humbugged more than any other
people on earth, and it is not for want
of intelligence or shrewdness, but
simply because they do not stop to
think. For instance, a lady goes to
her grocer, who, rather than miss
making sale, offers her inferior goods
instead of the kind she asks for. He
boldly asserts Its just as good, when
if he told the customer the truth he
would say, 'I know Hoe Cake Soap,
Soap Foam Washing Powder, and Red
Seal Lye are pure goods and full
weight, and for that reason cost more,
but sell the poorer qualities because
there is more profit to be made" Hoe
Cake Soap contains Ingredients not
found in any other soap. Try it.

Early Visitors.

The gang of tramps lately chased out
of Pendleton are evidently among us
today, two of them made a general
round up of the locality near Fourth
and Laughlin streets, demanding food
of Charley Stevens, Sydney Young and
others. They finally became obstre-
porous and used very unparlimentary
language toward the world in general
and the citizens of Fourth street in
particular. When Marshal Blakney
arrived one got away but the other
jumped over the fence into Mr.. Daw-
sons front yard, and gathering up
bricks etc., fortified his position.
Blakney as usual, charged and
routed him but had to bring his noun
tain howitzer into action before a
capture could be effected. One shot,
well aimed to miss, was enough and
his hoboship will explain the entire
plan of campaign to Recorder Phelps
in the morning.
