ALTHOUGH the people are very i'm
patient that the Nicarauguan canal
shall be built, yet the passing of the
canal bill at present would be
quite unwsrranted. Somewhat of
the labors of the canal commission
were published in the Scientific
American some time ago, and from
that some idea was gained of the
vast engineering problems involved
in the construction of the canal. 1t
would be an easy matter to order
the canal built and after it was built
to find that there was not enough
rainfall to feed Lake Nicaragua
to maintain the level of the lake
after the canal is opened. Better to
wait until the canal commission
makes it's report and then proceed te
build the canal intelligently.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

The death of C. P. Huntington, Monday of the present week, recalls some very interesting history in the development of the Pacific Coast and the region which came to the United States as result of the Mexican War. The ink with which the treaty of Guadalupe
 Hidalgo had hardly dried upon the parchment upon which it was writ ten when the discovery of gold caused rush to California which within very few months filled a rich and fertile though sparsely populated region with popula- tion of intelligent, active, energetic men, far above the average in all the attributes which go to make good citizens. In the long, hard journey across the plains, the six months sail around Cape Horn. or the perils of the fever stricken isthmus there were sufficient terrors to appal the stoutest heart; and only those of the most lofty deter imitation and rarest courage under took the perilous task. Those who survived the perils of either route had come through sitting pro- cess which left only the most daunt- less, energetic and courageous. They quickly created a great and glorious state. The least of them were men of more than ordinary mould, and their natural leaders were men who would rank as great in any part of the world. Among the latter were MT. C. P. Hunting ton and his five associates in the early conception and construction of the first transcontinental railway.
 Separated from the rest of their common country by a wilderness requiring half year to cross, or evaded by sea voyage as long in time, the early argonauts longed for railroad connection with "the old folks at home," and such con- nection was frequently discussed. Ie wrsiernmost terminus ui tine most advanced line had hardly reached the Mississippi river before the discussion commenced. To most of them it seemed impossible that the iron bands which would join them to the East could extend so far in the century, and all be- 1ieved the lofty, snow clad summits
