Maj. Bishop has had unusual experience
in that line of work and probably few are so
well qualified to speak intelligently of il
as he. For the greater part of his life he
has been engaged in water ways, and Is one
of the Oldest and best known civil engineers
north of the Ohio river.
Commencing in 1850, he was for number
of years an assistant engineer for the Hud-
son River Railroad, and later held like posi-
tons with the Genesee Valley Canal, New
York, and also the Des Moines River I'm
provement and Railroad Co.

The new Great Northern depot is
rapidly nearing completion, and cor
responds exactly to the description
given by this paper at the time the
contract was let. AS it stands it is a
commodious, well-lighted building,
admirably adapted to depot purposes
in this town.
The depot is to be lighted by cleo
trio lights, contract for same having
been given to W. P. Fowler.
The tracks for the yard are being
laid, and soon all will be moved to
the new location.
Nothing better can be done with
the old location than to have it made
into park.

TRANSPORTS HARD TO GET.
An Omcial Explanation as to the Delay in
Sending Soldiers to Strengthen
admiral Dewey.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Much COM
ment and some criticism have been
caused by the delay in forwarding
troops to the Philippine islands to sup
port Admiral Dewey. Both the COM
ment and the criticism had their
origin in the desire of the people that
the fruits of Dewey's victory at Ma
Mia should not be endangered by any
lack of assistance from the navy or
war department. It is known now
that troops would have been sent to
Manila before this had it been posi-
BILE for the war department to secure
transports on the Pacific coast. The
utmost difficulty is being experienced
by the department in obtaining such
transports The coastwise trade on
the Pacific is not large as compared
with that on the Atlantic, and ma
jority of the vessels engaged in the
trade are of foreign register. Of
course, ships flying foreign flag can
not be used as transports by the gov
eminent, as such use would constitute
a violation of the neutrality laws of
the nation whose flag the ship bore.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 24-The

MUST PAY THEIR WAY.
United States VIII Soon Inaugur1eea rem
p0rary scheme of Customs Tafans
for the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-In anticipa-
ton of the early occupation OF the
Philippine islands by the military and
naval forces of the United States, the
treasury department has already be-
gun the formulation of regulations
and a scheme of customs tariffs, which
will be collected by the military au-
thorities and turned into the treasury
of the United States as military
contribution" The tariff rates now
being prepared by the treasury de-
partment will closely follow the Span
ish customs laws in force in the Phil
ippines Just what revenue they
produced is not known, but the as
sumption is that inasmuch as the
home government realized from them
last year approximately $4,000, 900, the
actual amount collected was SIS, 1000, :
900. The government will assume
control of the revenues as soon as the
principal seaports are in our posses
sion, and will continue to control
them at least until congress takes
specific action in the case or until
peace has been declared between the
two countries.

The Cool RetOrt of q Witty Girl to

Among weddings slated for the near flu

has just won for his bride charming girl to
whose heart he had long laid siege. The law,
opinion regarding himself, and particularly
prides himself on being rather tavorlte
among girls of his acquaintance. Nearly a
year ago he first sought the hand of the
bride to be, but she demurred. A few
months later he met with second refusal,
but determined to make one more effort.
BY this time the young woman had come to
regard him with good deal of esteem. This
feeling grew in warmth, and so, when, a
week or so ago, he once more urged his suit,
she said the word which made him the hap
piest man in town.
"And you will be mne?" he asked.

WANTS A CANAL BUILT.
Senator Davis Talks About the Need of .
Waterway to Connect the Atlantic
and Pacific.

New YORK, May PA dispatch to
the New York World from Washington
says: Congress will soon be called
upon to decide the question of build
ing a canal connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans Senator Davis, of
the senate foreign relations committee,
said:
The need for a connection between the At
lantic and Pacific cannot be questioned. Oul
interests demand it With a canal between
the two oceans in operation now We would
have nothing to fear from an attack on our
Pacific coast AS it is it would take US 60 days
to send our feet around the Horn to the Pacific
coast cities. With the canal we could dispatch
men-of-war to San Francisco from New York
in IA days With a liberal appropriation,
say t100, 900 900, canal could be constructed
through Nicaragua that would be Of value
to the United States government for all
time to come. The Maritime Canal company.
which is endeavoring to sell its interests to the
government started the canal some years ago
and considerable work was done, when the
hard times of 1928 came along and struck a
death blow to the enterprise. This company
succeeded in getting certain concessions, which
it still retains, and il is only right that the
United States should buy these concessions
and pay the canal company for the work it has
already done.
