OF the great American desert on the journey
to the land Of gold. These pioneers tell
SOC experiences which should be needed
by I'D seekers today. Constant exposure
an faulty diet killed large numbers, while
nearly ali the survivors were afiicted with

Washington June 2S.-The recent L, COO
mile run of the battleship Oregon from San
Francisco to Key West called attention to
two things regarding the American ma
ton One of these was that We possessed
a battleship capable of doing something
no other ship of this class in the world
had ever equalled or approached and the
other, and less happy thought was that
10000 miles of the voyage and many weeks
of national anxiety might have been saved

work on that key to Americas future
greatness, the Nicaragua canal
In view of the present rush OF matter
before Congress II is scarcely probable that
the bill providing for the construction and
government ownership of the canal will
meet with the attention it demands. The
bill authorizes the government to secure
the right Of way from the countries
through which the canal passes, % pur-

According to the present plan, the Mica

them will lift the ships up 20 the level Of
