Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-10

given for the great harbors required at
and Brito.
The most difficult engineering work is
the dam across the San Juan river to
time required to build the canal hinges
almost entirely on the time required for
the construction of this dam. The COM
mission says eight years would probably
be a reasonable estimate for the time of
building it. At least two years will be
consumed in preparatory work and
opening a harbor at Greytown. so that
ii work on the dam should be commenced
Immediately thereafter. the time re-
CURED for completing the entire work
will be about ten years.
The salient engineering problems con-
nected with the Nicaraguan canal pro-
.iect. briefly outlined. are as follows:
First-The construction of harbocs at
the termini of the canal.
Second-The excavation of the canal
1tISll III Xix S"8iiP SNNNiofS
Greytown and the Florida lagoon.
Third-The heavy cutting near Boca
San Carlos and at Tamborcito.
Fourth-The construction of the large
dam at or near Boca San Carlos in con-
nection with the regulation Of the sum
nit level.
Fifth-The locks.
The commission then submits the fol-
lowing estimated cost of a canal on the
Niearasuan oute:
Eastern division. from Greytown to
Eoca San Carlos dam. $50. So. 900.
Middle division. from Boca San Carlos
dam to Las Lajas, s25, 425, 900.
Western division, from Las Lajas to
Erito. S51. $50. 900.
Ninety-eight miles of railroad, $780,
coo.
Total. S167 III, 10000.
Engineering. police, sanitation, n
Seneral contingencies. S33, 423.00o.
Aggregate, 5000. $40, 900.
This estimate is for a canal suitable
for navigation by the largest ships low
IL existence, and thus in accordance
with the terms of the bill pending in
congress-. 1t provides for a double sys-
TEN of locks. so that navigation can be
maintained if one system is closed for
repairs or renewals. If a single lockaGe
system is provided. the cost will be re-
duced SIG, 67S. 900. Narrowing the bottom
one-third will permit a further reduc-
tion of SIG $40. 900. This would bring the
estimated cost down to $3.50. 913, 600.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-10

The condition of Representative Bou-
telle, of Maine, who was compelled to
retire to a santtarium some time ago,
has excited much interest throughout
the country, and his recovery was hoped
for. 1t is evident, however. that his
bright mind has become permanently
clouded. Such, at least, is the interpre-
tation placed upon the announcement
that he is to be placed upon the pension
list as a retired naval officer, his SER
vices during the civil Val emitting him
to that consideration. He was one of
three notable representatives from
Maine, and while not so distinguished as
either Mr.. Reed or Mr.. Dingley, his name
isc closely associated with theirs.

N CREED.

Hearts with the light of love illumined
well.
Whether in mosque or synagogue they
dwell.
Have their names written in the book
of love,
Unvexed by hopes of heaven or fear OF
hell.
Although the creeds number some seven-
ty-three,
I hold with none but that of loving
Thee;
What matter faith, unfaith, obedience.
sin?
Thour't all we need. the rest is vanity.
Better to make one soul rejoice with
glee, al
Than plant a desert with a colony:
Rather one freeman bind With chains OF
love.
Than set a thousand prisoned captives
free!
(From Winfield Version of Rubaiyat
of Omar Khayyam.

SALE OF MONTANA HORSES.

Admirers of fine horses all over the
country are interested in the sale of
FLOODED horses owned by the late Marcus
Daily, which is to take place at Madison
Square Garden, New York, on January
so. The Minneapolis Tribune speaking
of the sale, says:
The stock to be sold cost Mr.. DAILY more
than $3.50, 900, which is more money than
any other breeding establishment here or
elsewhere would fetch at auction. The
DAILY estate offers for sale some $50
head of stock, of which seventy are
horses already'in training. The finest
thoroughbred strains in the world Will be
represented in this consignment, and it
is doubted if those in charge will be able
to get through in three days. 1t took two
days in October, 1891, to dispose of the
stock of the late August Belmont, and
the Be,mbon heirs sent up less than 200
head. Six hundred and sixty thousand
dollars fross was realized from the Bel
mont sale, the stallion st. Blaise, the sire
of Potomac, st. Florian and many other
race horses, alone fetching $l00, 900. st.
Blaise's purchaser was Charles Reed of
the Fairview stud in Summer county,
Tennessee. When Mr.. Reed wants a
horse, he is not afraid to pay for him.
Maybe he will set a new price record at
the Daily sale. There are several stall
lions in the consignment. younger and Of
quite as good breeding as st. Blaise. On
the basis of what was realized at the
Belmont sale, horsemen in this city are
celebrating that the Daily consignment
will fetch close to 81. 900, 900, not alone
because it is to be bigger than the other,
but also because the animals that COM
pose it We're more carefully selected. The
Daily horses are at Bitter Root farm in
Montana under the management of DR..
