NICARAGUA ROUTE
Report of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission,
COST Less THAN TEE PANAMA Line
Work Can Be Completed in a
Shorter Time.
HYGIENIC CON IONS

The report of the isthmian canal commits
mission, anticipated several weeks ago,
favors the Nicaragua route and makes an
estimate of $3.50, ,SS4 1852 as the total cost of
construction of the canal through Nicara-
qua. The estimated cost of the Panama
route is S144, ,233, ,35S, but the report says it
would cost 500, ,141, 600 to obtain the
Panama concession The commission value
the work done at s4OOO0,0O0
The report says the Panama route is feas7
ible as sea level canal, while the Mica
ragua route must be by locks, but Lake
Nicaragua will furnish an nexhaustible
supply of water for the canal. The Mica
ragua route has no natural harbors at
either end, but satisfactory harbors may
be constructed. Harbors already exist at
each end of the Panama route, but consider
able work must be done at the entrance Of
the harbor on the Atlantic side.
Less Time Needed for Nicaragua Route
With adequate force and plant the COM
mission estimate that the Nicaragua canal
can be completed in six years, exclusive of
two years for preparation. Ten years is
estimated to complete the Panama canal
The total length of the Nicaragua route is
ls3.66 miles and the Panama route 1909
miles. The estimated cost of operating and
maintaining the Nicarag qua canal annually
Is $1,30OOO0 greater than that of the Pana-
ma canal. The estimated time for a deep
draught vessel to pass through the Panama
canal is twelve hours and through Mica
ragua canal thirty-three hours. The Mica
ragua route, the report says, is more ad-
Vantageous for commerce save that origi-
mating on the west coast of South America
For the gulf ports the advantage is two
days and for most of the ports in the At
lantic and Pacific one day
The Nicaragua route is said to be better
Tor sailing vessels on account of favoring
winds. Hygenic conditions also favor Mica
ra qua.
Must Acquire Territory.
The commission says the United States
should acquire control of a strip of terri
tory ten miles wide from sea to sea through
to build the canal The consent of Mica
ragua and Costa Rica must be obtained to
construct the canal, but the report says
this can easily be secured. The conces-
sions granted by the Colombian govern
ment to the Panama Canal Company have
many years to run and new concessions
cannot be granted the United States The
report concludes as follows:
After considering all the facts devel-
oped by the Investigations made by the
commission, the actual situation as it
now stands, and having in view the terms
offered by the new Panama Canal Com
pany this commission is of the opinion
that the most practicable and feasible
route for an Isthmian canal, to be under
control, management and ownership of The
United States is that known as the Mica
ragua route"

A STATE coNsTABULARY.


n. n. Abrams, president OF the Iowa
Anti Saloon League. doesn't want
saloon smashing expedition in this state,
but he does want a state constabulary..
He says that il the legislature should
conclude to appoint commissioners to
enforce the prohibitory law he would,
like to be commissioner for the Du-
buque district.
Mr.. Abrams would be surprised to find
how. little he would be able to accom-
plish. II the proof We're strong az holy
writ the grand jury would not indict
the offenders he might bring to the IT
would be even more difficult than in
dictment. And IL he should undertake
TO procede by injunction the defendants
would go to the supreme court with him
and finally beat him With the aid of the
sheriff who would serve the injunctions
by visiting the premises and finding
them closed"
This is the actual history of attempts
to enforce the prohibitory law in Du-
buque county. attempts made by men
just as earnest as Mr.. Abrams and who
We're not without funds On the other
hand there hasEever been any difficulty
about enforcing the tax provision Of the
nulct law. The grand jury doesn't hes
itate to indict a man who persists ii,
selling liquor withoutp aging the tax. Ii
is probable that the provision would be
enforced just as strictly as II is today
if II called for a tax of $1,000 with $50t
extra for selling on Sunday.
