CANADA AND TIE
isTHmIAN CANAL

II was easy TO anticipate that just
as soon as the report that the Unite I'd
States and Great Britain had come TO
an understanding on the isthmiaH
canal question reached the Canadian
wilds howl Of dismay would go up.
Canada long ago made up her mind
that. if she could prevent it. the
United States and Great Britain
should never settle any issues in the
Western Hemisphere unless Canada
was taken into account. even in mat
tiers that but remotely touched our
Lady of the Shows"
True to this policy. Canada has con
tinually interfered in all Anglo
American negotiations. and nothing
has so worried the Northern politici-
ans as the spectacle OF the United
States and Great Britain really agree
ing not to disagree on certain inter
national questions much disputed in
the past. This habitual attitude of
the Canadian publicists is again in evi
dence in the article which Mr. David
Mills. Minister OF Justice for Canada,
has written in the Empire Review for
November. In this article Mr.. Mills
tries to draw the ancient ill-smelling
herring of the Canadian-Alaskan
boundary claims across the Isthmian
Canal project. Mr.. Mills-and in this
he is simply true to the traditional pol
icy OF Canadians-would force Great
Britain to make a settlement of the
Alaskan issues a prerequisite TO an
Anglo-American agreement on the in
teroceanic canal.
That such a policy is short signed
on the part of Canada and bound TO
involve Great Britain in fruitless ne
gotiations does not worry men hhe
Mr. Mills, nor men like Mr.. Sifton. an
other of Csnada's Cabinet Ministers,
who holds 10 a preposterous theory Of
Canada's rights in the Alaskan issu"
In fact. that is what they stir the sub
jet up for since they believe that
Canada's only hope of success in com
ing to any agreement with the United
States lies in holding up all arrange
ments that the United States ami
Great Britain are about to make with
each other. And that men presum-
ably able and clear-headed should he
lieve that such a policy can succeed is
due to the essential provinciality OF
Canada's politics: provinciality.
moreover. that has, since 1897. taken
on richer Tory color than ever c
fore.
Mr. Mills views will not have been
stated in vain. however. if they CON
vince both British as well as Amer
can statesmen that Canada must lie

nor her military sacrifice for Great
Britain and the empire entitle her 10

politics into far-reaching, information

learn to keep ont of American canals
in Alaska or in Central America.

Bridging a Great Canon.
From the New York Post.

From the New YORK POSt-
In the transportation of logs from
the heart of the California timber bet
to the mills an important engineering
feat has been accomplished. A canon
on the south fork of the American riy-
er had to be trayersed. and as 1t was
1000 feet deep, it was determined TO
build a steel wire suspension tramway.
The distance across the canon is 1850
feet. Between the two terminal tow
ers the distance is 1850 feet. Two par
allel cables span the immense gap
without support between the towers.
On these cables runs cage conveying
a car capable of carrying 10000 feet
Of green and heavy timber at each
trip. The tower terminals are anchor
ed in the solid rock supporting the
cables.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us.
why so few have attempted the ascent
of the highest peaks on the face Of

cannot withstand the rarified atmos-

There was a noticeable lull in the
proceedings Of Kansas last week to
bring suit to prevent Colorado farm,
ers from taking water out of the Ar
kansas river. The reason was that
Dame Nature rebuked the Kanssns
by over flowing the banks Of the Ar
kansas rives at Wichita to such an
extent that the dwellers on the bot
toms had to flee to the high lands,
and Attorney General Goddard and
his cunning cohorts decided it wise
to draw in their claws until after the
panic caused by the high water had
subsidized. What the Ksnssns wanted
then was for Colorado farmers to
take all the water out OF the raging
Arkansas they could get. The laugh
is on Kansas this time.-Bessemer

Unquestionably the greatest deal
for the advancement and settling up
of Prowers county is the purchase Of
the Great Plains and Amity compa-
MES by the gentlemen interested in
the Oxnard Sugar Go. The fact that
they have purchased sufficient land
aud water in Prowers county to sup
port half dozen factories such as
the one at Rocky Ford is sufficient
to show where the man center ofthe
sugar industry of the valley is to be
located. The first work Of the com
pany will be to secure settlers for the
lands in small tracts, and they al.
ready have many agents in the field
for this purpose. This means that in
the next five years the population Of
this county will be more than three
times the present numbers. As fast
as the farmers are able to supply
the beets factories for the making Of
sugar will be built and it will only
be a few years until the farmers will
have market right at their door.
The men who form this company
have made success of farming by
irrigation and also sugar rnanufacto-
ries, and as they have given this val
ley thorough test before purchasing
success is assured. Those who have
been surprised at Lamar's rapid
growth in the past, should watch the
boom which will now commence.

NEW JERSEY CORPORATION.
Expects to Bring Settlers to CuIti-
vato 80, 600 Acres In the
Arkansas Valley.


The articles of incorporation Of
the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet and
Irrigated Land company, New Jer-
sey corporation, were fled yesterday
with the secretary of state by Platt
Rogers. The capital stock of the
company is $2,25O, 600 and the state
received fee Of $705. By this fill
ing there is launched q scheme the
realization OF which will mean the
adding of tens of thousands to the
population of Colorado and the in
crease of the annual agricultural out
put by millions Of dollars.
Stockholders Of the Oxnsrd Con
struction company and other east
ern capitalists are interested in the
new company. While these Eastern
capitalists are in touch with and
friendly to the American Beet Sugar
company, these companies are in no
way connected with each other.
The new company's purpose is &C.
quire the $4,000 acres of land in the
Arkansas valley owned by the Amity
Land company, and the reservoir
aud canal system of the Great Plains
Water company, which supplies the
Amity lands with water, and on these
80, 900 acres to establish beet grow
ing ON q sale far beyond anything
before planned in Colorado.
The organization of the new COM
pany is direct result Of ihe opera
tions in sugar beets in the Arkansas
valley last summer. More than s.
600 acres of the beets were cultivat-
ed and the roots treated in the beet
factory at Rocky Ford, and it was
demonstrated on a scale that pre-
cluded any possibility of error or
over estimate, that nowhere else in
the world can beet sugar be produc.
ed to such advantage as in the Ar
kansas valley under irrigation.
The company begins work with
favorable prospects. There is water
in the reservoirs to insure crops for
two years, with indications of large
surplus flow in the Arkansas river,
all of which will be stored. The
I president and general manager is w.
s. Pardonner, of New York, who is
now in the Arkansas valley and will
spend much of his time on the
ground. He is beet sugar maker
of experience, having been associat-
ed with the Oxnard Construction
company. Guy Richards, New
York lawyer, is secretary and treas
urer Of the company, and the men
