SEARCH FOR ROBBERS
Fort Douglas Authorities Anxious
to Discover Men Who AS

w II. Schluter. who was held up and
robbed by four soldiers Monday night,
went to Fort Douglas late YESTERDAY
afternoon and the suspected soldiers
who were under arrest were taken be-
fore him for Identification. but he was
unable to say positively whether any
of the suspects were the men who had
held him up. The post officers believe
that two of the men We're mixed up
in the matter. but have not yet been
able TO fasten the crime upon them.
The four suspects are Privates Riley,
Wright, Smith and Williams of the
Twenty-third battery. Riley and Will
liams are the ones against whom the
strongest suspicion lies, 1t is said, be-
cause young Ray Booth identified them
as being in the gang that attempted
to sell him the watch. All the men
are still in the guard house and Cap

they would remain there until the mat

CANAL MUST BE NEUTRAL.
Canadian Minister of Justice Talks
on Isthmian Affairs.

New York. Oct. So.-David Mills. minis
ter of justice for Canada, has an article
in the November number of the Empire
Review says the Tribune's London cor
respondent In it the Monroe doctrine
and the interoceanic canal conditions un-
der which the Monroe doctrine was pro-
claimed, and the Clayton BuIwer treaty
negotiated are described in detail. and
the conclusions are drawn that the Unit
ed States government IS assuming soVer-
eighty over both North and South Amer
lea; that il is striving To restrict the
commerce of other states for its own
advantage. that Canada Will never be
content to submit to any other rule than
that OF perfect equality respecting the
canal and that her interests must not be
sacrificed by the United Kingdom for
any consideration. Mr. Mills contends
that the neutrality of the canal must be
guaranteed provided for by the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and that the United
Kingdom must not yield TO the demands
of what he describes as an ambitious and
not oNerScrupulous state TO erect tortl-
fications upon the borders of a water
way and to take possession OF II,
The real object of this article, contin-
ues the Tribunes correspondent, IS dis
closed in the last seven lines, in which
reference is made to the fact that the
United States has taken possession OF
Dyea and Skasway and has refused to
submit the matter to arbitration. Mr.
Mills does not say so, but clearly thinks

ultimate future of the Philippine islands.
They may become an integral part of
the United States, or they may become
an independent nation. To remain de-

the possibilities of their future. That
much may be assumed Whatever the

The way has been cleared in an I'M

The natural waterways of this. CONT
nent will always be the governing fac
tor in determining the price of transpor-
tation. 1t has been said that railroads
can ne1 er compete with the traffic on the
great lakes during the period of naviga-
ticn, because God Almighty keeps up the
trackage. This is true of the great lakes,
but it is not true of the great rivers. God
Almighty would keep up the trackage
if men would not do everything in their
power to thwart His plans for keeping
them up.
| Il does not matter to the boatmen on
the Ohio and Mississippi whether Gcd
Almighty or the government keeps up
the trackage, so it is kept up. But the
time IS at hand when the government
cannot keep up the traCl1age unless it
changes it's tacticS-it cannot do it alone
by dredging, but must unite with God
Almighty and do it according to His
plans and specifications. The forests
and reserve irs which one time kept the
great father of waters flowing steadily
and majestically toward the sea must
be restored; there is no other alterna-
tive.
This is a subject in which st. Paul has
special interest. River navigation is
not thing of the past, but it soon will
be unless something be done by the gen
eraI government to preserve the chan
nels.
The arid West demands the attention
of the government Millions should be
spent to reclaim those vast areas which
want only water to become Edens. But
in this solicitude for the West the East
should not be neglected. The East is in
a fair way to become a desert not from
the want of water but from allowing it
to go to waste.

DEFOREsTATI0N, FLOODS AND NAV
IGATEON

With the opening of each spring ma
ture enters her earnest protest against
the wanton destruction of our native for
ests. From Maine to California comes
this protest, always once a year, some
times twice and sometimes thrice. Ma
ture is outraged by this selfish attack
upon the forests, and manifests her anger
and grief in swollen streams; in rivers
that overrun their banks; in floods that
devastate the 1owIands.
From New England comes the reports
of the spring floods. The Wisconsin
streams are so high that the saving
season cannot begin; the hills of Pennsyl-
vania are slipping from their founda-
tions, all because the natural forests have
been destroyed and no attempt made to
replace even a small fraction to with
hold the tickle rain AMI the water from
the melting snow. This has been going
on for years-every year growing. worse
In the Eastern and Middle states the
quiet brooks have become completely
metamorphosed; they are either raging
torrents destroying bridges and even
villages in their course or they are re-
duced to sun-baked beds of gravel and
sand. The great rivers like the Missis-
sippi and the Ohio are over their banks
threatening the entire country for miles
around or are a series Of shallow chan
nels between sandbars. too wet for the
cultivation of corn and too dry for nav1-
cation.
The millions of dollars that are spent
yearly improving the channels of our
| large rivers is used to undo what the
spring floods have done. If that money
| were taken for the purpose Of building
| reservoirs and III reforesting waste land
along these river courses 1t would in
| time mitigate the evil Before the trees
| were all cut IL the timbered region. and
