Cleveland, July 27-Amid the en-
thuslastic cheers of nearly 10000 spec
tators, Cresceus, the worlds champion
trotting stallion, again demonstrated
his ability by trotting a mile yester-
day afternoon over the Chenille track
in 2:02&. This establishes a new
worlds record over 2.O3A, held by
The Abbott.
Owing to heavy rains Thursday
night, the track was not in the best
condition yesterday and it was nearly
shutdown before the track was deemed
sufficiently fit for records. After
working out several preliminary miles.
the owner, George Ketcham, came
out with the stallion to attempt what
was regarded as an impossible feat.
Cresceus was sent away on the third
score, trotting like machine.
Accompanied by runner, the chest
nut stallion fairly flew to the quarter,
the timers watches registering just 80
seconds. At the back stretch he was
Joined by the second runner and
reached the half in 1:01. The three
quarters was reached in 1909 and as
the grand stallion trotted into the
stretch, a runner on either side, his
easy stride fairly ate up the distance
Never once faltering, and maintain
ing his remarkable speed, the wonder
full animal fairly flew under the wire,
his sole urging being the drivers
voice, and hoof beats of the accom-
panying runners.
! When the time for the mile was an
nOunced horse and rider were ten
dered an ovation such as is seldom
witnessed on a race track. Thousands
of enthusiastic people rushed on the
track and Ketcham was lifted from
the sulky and carried to the grand
stand on the shoulders of his ad.
mirers. Repeated cheers for Ketcham
and Cresceus were given and the
owner was carried to the judges stand
where he delivered brief address.
Cresceus now not only holds the
worlds trotting record for both sexes,
but also holds the worlds record for
| the two fastest heats ever trotted in a
race, the second mile last week at De-
troit also being a new world record
for the fastest mile ever trotted in a
race, also the fastest second heat
ever trOtted.

BREAD TRUST
HAS MILLIONS

New York, July 30.-What promises
to be a bread trust of huge proper.
lions had it's beginning yesterday by
the incorporation in Trenton, N. J., of
the National Bread company. The cap
ital stock of the corporation, fixed at
100000, it is stated, has been fully
paid in. The immediate ambition of
the concern, if reports from source
seemingly authentic are accurate, is to
control the bread output of New York
City, Jersey City and Newark
Finally the corporation expects
through beginning in Chicago and St.
Louis, to acquire similar control over
the bread industry in all the more i'm
portant cities of the United States. If
this be true, the company is aiming at
controlling in it's line similar to that
OF the other great corporations regu-
lating other products.
Several of the larger bakeries of New
York already have been absorbed on a
division of stock basis by the new com
pany, and it is said that in the result
ing fight of the trust for control the
other bakeries will be forced into the
new concern or suffer from the usual
methods Of competition.

WILL BUILD CANAL
CONGRESS TO MAKE APPROPRlA-
TON NEXT WINTER.
DR.. JOHNSONI is CONFIDENT
Tells of the Work of Commission of
Which He is Member-Nicara-
guam Route Chosen-Will Greatly
Benefit Commerce and Open up
Great Possibilities.
Madison. July 80

Madison, July 80.
DR.. E. r. Johnson, member of the
isthmian canal commission appointed
in June, 1899, spoke to an audience OF
over $50 in university hall last even
ing on the work and benefits such a
canal would entail. DR.. Johnson is a
professor in the University of Penn
sylvania and is at present engaged in
the Wisconsin summer school.
The commission of which he is a
member consists of nine members and
Admiral John G. Walker is it's presi
dent. The work of this commission il
practically completed and it is prob
able that it's meeting in Washington
D. c., next week will be the last. It's
work has been to point out the best
route for canal across the isthmus
DR.. Johnson stated last evening that
congress would probably make its ap-
preparation to begin work at it's ses.
sion next winter.
In his talk last evening DR.. Johnson
first discussed the work and merits of
the Panama and the Nicara-
qua companies, He then explained
the work of the commission, which
undertook three lines of investigation
The engineering and cost of canal,
the CONCESSIONS to be secured and
their cost, and the industrial, COM
mercial and international value.
1T was found he said that the
engineering problems were practically
hn -
Panama canals. The cost of the for
mer would be $2O0,0OO,00 and of the
latter 100000. This would leave
a difference of $4S000,000 in favor of
the Panama, but the French would
probably have to be recompensed for
the work they have done.
The commission finally recommend
ed the Nicaraguan route on account
of it's superiority for American COM
merce. All things compared, the COM
mercial advantages are in favor of the
Nicaraguan route.
THE new Panama company has the
exclusive right to construct canal
across the isthmus. The Columbian
government is not free, therefore to
deal with the United States, neither
can the Panama company do so on ao-
count Of certain clauses in it's consti-
tuition. At Nicaragua the situations
are different and both company and
government are unhampered in their
treatment with the United States.
"The construction of the Nicaraguan
canal involves a treaty between the
United States and Great Britain. The
right to control the canal and the
question of naturalization are at issue.
Nicaragua and Costa RIGA have en-
tered into agreements with other in
terested countries than the United
States for canal for the benefit of all
nations on terms of equality.
"a new convention is now in nego-
tiation and the terms will probably be
different in form if not in words"
"The economic value of the canal is
the next question to be discussed.
When we consider that our foreign
trade is secondh only to the united
kingdom the reason becomes manifest
why we should push the great work.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1901-08-01

IT AGAIN

Newport, July 30.-The Columbia
yesterday defeated the Constitution,
boat for boat, in a splendid race by 2
minutes and "a seconds and won the
$1,000 cup presented by Col. John
Jacob Aston. Her victory VS. de-
cisive and convincing. The behavior
of the Constitution on the other hand
was disappointing in the extreme and
Duncan announced that his boat
would not take part in further races
until the rig has been altered.
The regular trial races to select the
defender of Americas cup will be held
here August 81 and September and
8. 1t is not easy for the best friend Of
the Constitution to make plausible
excuse for her most palpable defeat.
She was beaten fairly and squarely on
merits.

1.-The future growth of our foreign
trade is merely question of cheaper
transportation. The isthmian canal
will charter the distance 40 per cent
of the routes about the southern por-
ton Of the country. A large trade
with tropical countries has become
great issue. Furthermore, these coun-
tries supplying raw products also form
a market for machinery.
"Our trade with the west coast of
South America is not large, but would
become so if a direct route were
opened. Trade will be highly salts
factory to both countries
Here the speaker dwelt upon a list
from business houses to the canal
commission showing how the construc-
ton would help the various firms.
'In spite of reductions in prices of
moving freight by rail- he continued,
"the cost over high mountains, ETC., is
still large. In order to find the effect
the canal would have upon United
States business houses member
travelled from Maine to Texas and
large correspondence was kept up.
The large result that would follow the
construction of the canal greatly as
! tonished even the commission.
"The products of the south find a
market mostly in Europe, but tney are
desirable everywhere. The canal
would benefit the cattle trade by aid
| ing it's sale in China and other coun-
tries. We should, I think, supply one
half of the cotton trade in the coun-
tries of the orient. Iron manufacture
ers send large numbers Of iron and
steel articles to trans-Pacific coun
triesI But the total effect upon the
iron industry will be even greater in
the most of the United States. Be
sides aiding these products the canal
will open up markets for coal and
lumber to South American countries.
"Since the opening of the Suez canal
England has had a great advantage
over the United States in the trade
with Australia and the orient. With
the opening of the Nicaraguan canal
the United States could compete with
that country.
"a carriage company near Racine
exports to South America and the
orient. A letter from this company
says the transportation cost is 20 OF
80 per cent. Of the value of the ship
ments An Oshkosh company says
the opening of a canal would Q. en- a
direct route for it. A Milwaukee com
pany-you know which one 1 mean
sends it's product all over the world
1t says that the opening of canal
would greatly increase it's trade.
"The effect of the canal upon the
building of ships will certainly be fav
orable. Forty firms have written tc
the commission. Large freight steam
ers of special design would be built
for this trade. This would soon en-
able the builders to compete with for
eigners.
CAS- regards the effect upon the rail
roads between Chicago and New Yorl
the advantages Of canal are unani
mously conceded. The trans-conti
mental railroads disagree about the
benefits.
f'By the time the canal is opened a.
many ships as are now in the Sue.
trade would be in service 1t would
be benefit to our navy. 1t would
tend to unity the political and socia
divisions of our broad country"

THOUSANDS
RECEIVE LANDS
IN GREAT RUSH ON OKLAHOMA
TRACT.
GREAT DAY AT Ell RENO
Disappointed Ones Drag Themselves
YEARLY Away for Another Night
of Waiting-Young Woman Loses
Right by Marrying-LittIe Disor-
der Noticed.

Ell Reno, July 30.-Oklahoma's great
land lottery began here in earnest yes
terday and when the commissioners
appointed by the federal government
adjourned drawing for the day,
thousand of choices of the $4,000 100
acre claims in the Kiowa-Comanche
country had been awarded.
The first name drawn from the
wheels was that of Stephen A. Hol-
combe of Pauls Valley, 1. T., for
homestead in the Ell Reno district, the
second that of Leonard Lamb of Au-
gusta, o. These two men select
the two choicest claims in this dis
trict. The capital prize winners, how
ever, proved to be James R. Wood of
Weatherford, O. T., whose name was
the first to come from the Lawton
district wheel, and Miss Matte H.
Beals of Wichita, who drew the second
number in that district. They have
the privilege of making the first filing
in the Lawton district and will I'M
doubtedly choose two quarter sections
adjoining that town. These are con-
sidered the most valuable in the terri
tory and worth from $4,000 to $40,-
600 each
The day has been one of keen ex-
element, replete with interesting
scenes. 1t is estimated that fully 25,-
900 persons witnessed the drawing
The drawing Of the first names was
followed by a mighty shout which
must have been heard for miles over
the prairies. Each succeeding win
ming for the time met with shouts OF
applause and merriment. All was
pleasantly. The crowds fairly ex-
hausted themselves and when the
close of the drawing for the day was
announced hundreds of others had not
eaten or drank during the day and
sank to the ground where they stood
from shee fatigue, or dragged them
selves to better places of rest or re
freshment up town. The day was re
markably free from quarrels and the
general satisfaction with the govern
ment's method of disposing of land
was felt. 1t has been found many hun
dreds of applicants repeated" and
other applications were so illegible as
to be thrown out. Over this much dis
cord resulted but they NAV appeal tc
the courts.
The eighteenth winner in the Law
ton districts was Minerva McClin
took, aged twenty-five, of Oklahoma
City. She was married Sunday ant
by this act forfeits the right to file he1
claim. She might have chosen a claim
near the county seat of the towr
worth several thousand dollars.
