ALL NOW AGREE.

Pacific coast people have IN mind
the recent trip of the great battleship,
Oregon, around the Horn, $4,000
miles in order to be present at
hostilitles off the Cuban coast. All
agree that it is wonderful boat and
that its successful trip was nothing
less than phenomenal.
But what might have been the re-
suit, if this nation had had more
formidable enemy, is readily under
stood. II takes time to make a
voyage of $4,000 miles with a battle
ship. Besides, if the enemy had been
more numerous and powerful, how
easy it would have been to intercept
the vessel. Luck favored the Oregon
this time. Had Spain sent one of
her best fleets, it is now evident that
the Oregon would have had little to
fear in an ordinary sea engagement.
But how much better it would have
been if the proposed Nicaragua canal
had been in existence. From this
standpoint, its early completion by
the United States is imperative.
This is only one phase of the sltua.
tion, however, the commercial inter
ests of our country warrant the
building eff this canal. The Pacific
coast people and press have long
been in favor of this improvement
for many reasons, and it is believed
that in this they will be joined by
the East, but it took just such diff
Guilty as the Spanish-American war
to bring them to their senses.
