FIGURES ON TIE CANAL
The Nicaragua Ditch Be-
fore Congress.
Its Great Advantage to the
Nation.
How 1t Would Be Especially Useful
In the Case of Naval
War.

WASHINGTON April 1.-THE Mic
aragua canal commission which visited
the isthmus last summer, presented
some features of its side of the canal
question before the house commfftee
on interstate and foreign commerce to-
day.
Engineer Endicobt presented a state
ment of Warmer Miller and Engineer
Menocal of the canal company, THAT
the investigation of the commission
had been of a cursory nature, except i'm
a few details. The plan of Engineer
Menocal seemed to Endicott to be
feasible. While the company's plan
contemplated the canal to be twenty
eight feet deep, the commission was
convinced that at certain seasons the
water would fall to twenty-four feet
unless dams were built to a greater
height.
Replying to a question Endicott
said in the event of war with a nation
like Great Britain THE government
would be obliged ITO abandon the canal,
but might solve the problem by blow
ing up the lock. From Ia military
point of view THE canal was desirable.
He didn't believe THAT the canal could
be built for SIS, 900, 900, 1.-THE company s
plans to be feasible
When asked whether If the govern
ment was willing to pay $133 ,000,0 900
for the canal it would be advisable to
begin work ait once, the engineer re-
piled that the government should make
more satisfactory surveys and esti-
mates before going forward. 1t was
most important THAT sufficient hy-
draulic data be secured and also that
possible further investigation would
increase the estimated cost.

AN EASTERN IMPRESSION.
How the Salt River Valley Pleased
Two New Workers.

Ogdensburg IN. " Republican:
Hon. George Hall and Mr.. John H.
Findlay returned home last week from
a "trip to the Pacific coast and visit
to Arizona and California MIR. Hall
in speaking of the journey said that
they left Ogdensburg March 5, and
were absent tWenty4seven days. They
had pleasant weather throughout the
"trip and saw rain only twice during
their whole journey, once while visit
ing San Francisco and again ait Lynch
burg, Virginia, on their way home.
Blue skies and warm, delightful
weather were tine rule. From Ogdens-
burg they went to Chicago and there
took a train and rode continuously un-
till they reached Ash Fork in the north
western part of Arizona, where they
changed from the Santa Fe route ito
the Prescott & Phoenix railway, ON
which they made the journey from
Ash Fork to Phoenix, a distance of 1913
miles. The railroad ride Through Ar
izona MIR Hall describes as beautiful.
The road is over mountains and ait this
time of the year lis especially delight
full. Some fine work has been done
building 1T through the mountainous
country, and lit is as substantial road
as there is in the United States.
Three or four days were spent visit
ing Phoenix Ii is a prosperous and
growing city from ten to twelve thou
sand people, situated in a valley, one
hundred miles long. The sol, of the
valley is alluvial, and is very rich and
deep. The only trouble is scarcity of
rain, and everything that is grown has
to be Watered by irrigation. There
are quite a number of irrigating
schemes and at Ash Fork, Mr. Hall
says, he met Mr.. John Tucker, who is
we'll known in Ogdensburg, who had
been in Arizona Investigating a plan
of forming a reservoir for holding
water back to be distributed as needed
for irrigating purposes. Mr.. Tucker
was very favorably impressed with the
plan of reclaEming arid land by irri-
cation. There are millions of acres of
such land in Arizona. The atmos-
phere at Phoenix is dry and healthful
So dry is 1T that the carcasses of cat
tie that had died along the line of the
railroad mad not been deeomposed, but
had dried up so that they did mot give
forth the slightest odor. The absence
of humidity makes the climate espe-
cially favorable, and a consumptive
who cannot recuperate at Phoenix cam
not recuperaIte anywhere. The trou-
bic with the most of those who seek
relief in that climate is that they wait
until it is too late and go there only
to die. Mr.. Hall quoted certain rail-
road official as remarking that they
came out in palace cars and went back
i'm collins.
