THE REMAINING OF THE STREETS
Streets Committee Has Undertaken
Very Henyy Task.

The suggestion that some OF the streets
OF Richmond should be renamed. and
made TO conform to a simpler and less
confusing plan than the one now In use,
seems 10 have met with general favor.
The Street Committee. which has UNDER
taken this work. has a far more onerous
task on its hands than may be supposed.
Colonel Cutshaw thinks. and II will prob
ably occupy the committee for many
hours.
IL has been suggested that the remaining
shall begin east Of First street, and that
the letters OF the alphabet shall be used.
Tha only objection TO this plan Is that
such streets as Belvidere and Brook ave.
nue will disturb the symmetry OF such an
arrangement. The subcommittee appoint
ed 10 consider this matter will take 1t uD
early this week.

cost of the Olympia and ,
Gray's Harbor Canal prior to the
United States surveys. The Hennepin
canal now in course OF construction is
estimated to cost for the first eight miles
$7OO,OOO; OF this amount $4,000 to
$4,000 is allowed for the construction
OF each OF the seven locks and $4,000
for an aqueduct to allow Bureau river
to pass under the canal.
As to the length of the Olympia
and Gray's Harbor canal, it will he
about twenty miles between the navi-
gable waters OF the United States,
three miles of which passes through
Black Lake which will form mag
nificent reservoir for the use of the
canal. The canal may exceed the
Hennepin canal in cost, as the United
States may survey it for the passage
Of a certain class of war vessels. 1t is
impossible to estimate the great value
that this canal will be to our coast
wise trade. In the heat of summer
the deliveries of coal from Puget Sound
and British Columbia to San Fran
cisco, Cal, for the week ending August
6, 1898, was 2S,324 tons and there was
$4,000 tons due from Australia and
there were contracts to be filled for
the Navy Department, to be delivered
at Honolulu, amounting to 10000
tons. Consider what benefit this coal
trade would be to our miners, if we
had the coal trade OF the coast cities
beyond competition and the Olympia
and Gray's Harbor canal would bring
that result as it has elsewhere, as for
example: The Pas de Calais, in the
north of France in 1850 produced 1OO,-
coo tons of coal, but by the construc-
ton of q canal it increased to 9,4OO,-
600 per annum. We might quote
other places where trade has thus in
creased. The reason for such increase
is very apparent; freight on railways
in England costs from 2.45 cents to
2.O5 cents per ton per mile, whilst on
canals from &c to 10c per ton per
mile. In the United States the New
York Central 065 mills and the
Erie Canal 0.42 mills. The English
coast steam colliers OBJ and lowest sea
rates 0.10 cents per mile per ton. In
In speaking of canals in 1883, Mr..
Alternately said: ct is not possible
for railways to convey raw materials
as cheaply as canals. He alluded also
to the Importance as regards the iron
interest of having raw materials car
ried cheaply to the foundries. He
considered that vessel of $50 to 200
tons on a canal for raw materials car
ried would afford greater accommoda-
ton for manufacture than a railway.
Mr.. Abernathy was at that time con-
sulting engineer to the projected Man.
chester ship canal. Lieut.. Gen. Ran
dali, X. E., in 1888 said: That the ef-
fective water carriage would be no
detriment to railways, but merely
leave them to take that traffic they
are adapted best to. With these fig
ures and facts before them no member
of any commercial body of any of the
maritime cities on Puget Sound will
deny but that the construction of the
Olympia and Gray's Harbor canal will
be providential blessing to the trade
of all the cities on Puget Sound.

that the Eastern oysters planted by

famous Rothschild family, was asked
the secret of his great financial sue

Those who follow that method al
ways succeed. Few things present
better opportunities to buy cheap and
sell dear than stocks and bonds, and

In order to become rich, the young
mar just starting in life should
choose that occupation or vocation for
which he has the most decided prefer
ence. Many a man has his "no.e to
the grirdstone," so to speak, through
out life, simply because he has chosen,
or his 'elatives and friends have
chosen for him, some business or pro-
fession tC which he is not adapted,
and whichhe finds is not congenial to
him, while in career for which ma
ture and eucation had fitted him he
might not only be happy and success
ful, but make his mark as Il star of
the first magnitude.
The utilit. of a collegiate education
for success i'll business is very often
debated. AS the college curriculum
and training stand at present, the or
dinary courseis not in general calcu-
lated to make q good business man.
1t is crroneolsly regarded by some
people as kinl of substitute for busi-
ness training in the earlier years of a
young mans lie. There can be no
greater mistake III the beginning of a
business career. 1t is in many in
stances not only hindrance, but alb.
solutely fatal to Success.
HENRY CLEws.
A young man just starting in life
must be careful, If he desires to be-
come rich, to select that vocation for
which he is best adapted and in which
he will be happiest. A man seldom
II ever, puts forth his best efforts in
any avocation which is not thoroughly
congenial to him. Then, having Sc.
lected the right calling, he must be
particular to select the best place in
which to practice it. He should be
careful to keep himself in good
health, for without that no man can
win fortune, generally speaking
Rum and tobacco he should entirely
avoid. No man can make money un.
less his brain is clear, and clear it can.
not be when clouded with the fumes
of alcohol and tobacco.
He must keep out OF debt. There
is nothing which so drags man
down. 1t makes him despise himself
and often causes him to resort to
mean and petty subteriuges. Put
what money YOU have and all you can
save i'll the future at interest, where it
will be we'll secured. Real estate is
the most safe of all investments.
Nothing in the world works like
money at interest. 1t never stops,
day or night, Sundays or holidays. 1t
just keeps on working away for its
owner in rain and sunshine alike.
Never try to work at more than one
kind of business ut time. Persevere
in whatever you are engaged in until
you have succeeded or until you are
satisfied that you never can succeed in
that line. TO make money dishonest
ly is the hardest thing in life.
Therefore preserve your integrity.
