THE PROJECT GOING AHEAD
COLUMBIAN GOVERNMENT IS READY
 TO MAKE CONCESSION
Will Accept Lump Sum for Territory Acquired by the United States-President May Call Extra Session of the Senate.

Canal concession will be secured from Colombia and it will be for a lump sum without annual rentals. This is the demand of the United States, and the Colombian government is inclined to grant it if the payment is increased from $7,OOO,OOO to $1O,- OOO,0OO A perpetual lease of the territory will also be granted.
 Minister Concha has given out a statement in New York denying that he has been removed and declaring that nobody else has authority to con- duct the negotiations for his govern ment. The State Department has no reply to make to Minister Concha, as it is not conducting negotiations through the newspapers, but is dealing with Dr. Herran, the Charge d. Affaires, and has every official assur- ance that Herran has the authority from his Government to act.
 The report from Bogota that decree has been issued calling Congress to meet in March is not detrimental to the consummation of the negotiations for the Panama canal. The point has been made that the appropriation lapses with this Congress if the deal is not made before March 4.
 Representative Cannon, who is re- garded as an authority on appropria- tions, says he can see no force to this point. The appropriation is continu- ing one, and the President may con summate deal for the purpose of the Panama canal, either before the ex- piration of this Congress or after. The act of Congress authorizing him to purchase the canal stands until re- pealed and the appropriation also stands. The President can and will wait for the Colombian Congress to ratify the treaty before he sends it to the Senate. But he can call the Senate in extra session to ratify it without calling Congress in, extra session. He has full power to make the treaty with the consent of the Senate and when it has acted or the treaty the money for the payment of $40,000, ,0O0 to the Panama Canal Company and for the concession from Colombia will be available. He can begin the construc- tion of the canal without further legis- lation by Congress. The prospect of securing the concession from Colombia for lump sum is gratifying to the administration and to Congress. This has been one of the most serious hitches in the negotiations. Colombia not only wanted the payment of $10,- 000, ,000 down, but an annual rental of $600,000. The Senate would not ratify such treaty. 1 will ratify treaty that provides for the purchase outright of the territory for the canal.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.

The Green Country Brakeman Who
Introduced the "snw n.y."
Many years ago a green country boy
applied to the superintendent OF a
western railway for work and. some
what against the superintendent's
wish, on account of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon such occupa-
ton, was given Il place as brakeman of
q freight train.
On one of his first trips Il happened
that his train met another freight train
at n station where the sidetrack was
not long enough to accommodate either
ot them. The conductors were debat-
ing which train should back up to a
point where they could pass when the
new hand ventured TO suggest that nei-
ther should back: that they could pass
each other by means of the short Slde-
track IL the thing was managed right.
The idea excited a good deal of
laughter on the part Of the old train
men. but the boy stood his ground
"Well. how would you go about itT'
asked one of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against stump.
The boy took up n stick and traced IN
the sand "A diagram TO illustrate his
plan.
Good graclousT said the conductor.

And 1t did do II. Today every train
man in America probably knows how
to saw by" two long trains on a short
sidetrack, but 1t is not so generally
known that the thing was never done
until an inexperienced country boy
who became the manager OF a great
railway line worked out the problem
for himself,
