NICARAGUA CANAL PLANS.
Just As Feasible As the Chicago
Drainage Canal.

Chicago, Feb. 19-That the Nicara-
qua canal, on the lines of the general
plans of the Warner Miller Maritime
company. is entirely feasible; that the
difficulties have been greatly overesti-
mated; that there is no reason why
contractors on the Chicago drainage
canal should not undertake the work of
construction, and, finally, that the har-
bors of Greytown, on the Atlantic side.
and Brito. on the Pacific side. present
none of the difficult engineering prob
lens which cannot be solved at a rea-
sonable cost.
These were the conclusions of L. E.
Cooley and f. F. Cragin. who returned
to Chicago last night from their trip
through the Central American states.
They were enthusiastic over the posi-
bilities of the canal. Mr.. Cooley made
the following comparison between the
Chicago drainage canal and the Mica
ragua canal: Rock excavation drainage
canal. 1900. 900 yards; Nicaraguan ca
nal, $4,000. 900; earth excavation. drain
age canal, 100000 cubic yards; Mica
ragua, 2S. 000. 600; masonry, drainage ca
nal, 10000 yards; Nicaragua, 100000
dredging, drainage canal, slight; Mica
ragua, 56,000.000 yards.
Mr.. Cooley's remarks about the en-
gineers agreeing over the feasibility of
the plans for the canal and their gen
eral outlines probably foreshadows the
report of the United States commission.
which was encountered in that part of
the trip.
A remark by him that the two gov
ernments would give anything to any
body who would build the canal is sig
nifcant, as the concession to the Mari
time company expires in 1900 and 1901.

year as superintendent of public IN
struction of Bannock county
Since his induction into office he has
witnessed many changes in the school
work OF his county, due to his wide
awake and progressive efforts.
He has seen wages advance rather
than diminish; the standard of teach
ers raised by close markings on exam
nations; and the length of terms in
creased by nearly one-half.
He made a success of the first coun-
ty teachers institute work in south
eastern Idaho, and has the scholastic
work in Bannock county organized now
so that the teachers work throughout
partakes of that systematic, well-or-
gained character that would do credit
TO any more mature settlement than
young Idaho.
MIR. Arney reports 81 schools and 90
teachers, salaries averaging s62 a

OF seven months; school property
amounting to $4,000; total number of
children, 3,340, and an average daily
attendance OF 1000.
Although the probate wor of Bannock
county is quite voluminous, Mr.. Arney
finds time to get out over this large
county and visit the schools, conduct
his teachers monthly meetings, and
give general personal supervision to
the schools of his county, a precedent

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 19.-Instead of
closing the commonwealth side of the
Lattimer case today as had been eX-
pected, the district attorney was
obliged to ask the court to adjourn un-
til Monday. He said that attachments
had been issued for two important
witnesses; that they could not be
found, and probably would not be pro-
duced until Monday. Only two wit
nesses were heard this morning, John
A. QuaZzo, who was shot in the foot

long since declared that that particu-
lar portion of Idaho constituting the
Fort Hall reserve is not within the
silver-lead zone. Therefore, for any
novice in the mining fraternity to con-
tend otherwise, is to assume that tech
nical knowledge is the essence of ig-
norance. The fact is known to the
writer that several eminent Montana
and Utah mining men are patiently
awaiting the opening of the Fort Hall
reserve and for no other reason than
to develop into dividend-paying mines
the gold and copper lodges referred to.
One reliable mining expert recently said
of the copper belt: when properly
developed it will out-rival the now cele-
brated Anaconda mines"
In view of these facts it is reasonable
to conclude that sooner or later Po-
catello will have added TO its extern
sive railroad shops smelters and reduc-
ton works for the treatment of cop
per and auriferous ores. For such
works the railroad facilities are I'M
rivaled, for both the transportation of
crude ores and the refined product,
while the same railroad advantages will
have the effect of reducing the vast
tonnage of coal consumed to the min
imum figure. These advantages are
already known to the leading spirits
by the very nature of things, result in
doubling the present population of
Pocatello, ere another presidential cleo
ton occurs. In this connection, mere
reference to the extensive quarrieS of
incompatible stone within a mile or
two of Pocatello will not be considered
out of place.
WILL BE RATIFIED
That the treaty now before congress,
praying for the segregation of 41S,000
acres of the Fort Hall reserve, will be
ratified, there can be no question, and
for these reasons, namely: First, be-
cause the price paid for the entire cut
off (S600, 000) is very low figure; sec
ond. because the payments to the In
dams will be made in installments,
500 600 three months after ratification,
and $4,000 annually thereafter; third,
because the money thus received by the
] $50 Indians will be used for their ed
ucation and the improvement of the
large area of agricultural lands they
will still retain; fourth, because Secre-
tary Bliss can conscientiouSly approve
every provision of the treaty which, we
he has already done; and.
fifth, because Senator ShOup, assisted
by his colleague, Heitfeld, and Con-
gresham Gum, will support the prop
osition with characteristic energy,
which fact alone means ultimate sue
cess The latest reports from Wash
Ington indicate that the treaty will be
ratified before the present session of
congress adjOurns.
