Mr.. Hepburn said IL have no doubt
that the United States can use that canal

Mr.. McDernott. of New Jersey. called at
tention to the statement in the report OF
the Walker commission, giving the cost OF
the Panama canal property as $l09.OOOOO,
and the newspaper reports that the com
pany now offered 10 sell the property Tor
$40 600 If the later report were true
the Panama canal would cost less than the
Nicaragua, and he asked if Mr.. Hepburn
did not believe, with equal cost the COM
mission would have reported in favor OF
Panama.
Mr.. Hepburn replied that the commission
had stated the respective advantages of
both routes, under conditions then existing
He could not tell what the commission
would have reported under other circum-
stances. ANY gentleman who absorbs
the commissions report, said he, land
weighs il, must believe that, other things
being equal. the canal that is 400 miles near

York 375 miles nearer than the other is the
better canal for us" IApplausel MI.
Mr. Hepburn declared that the whole Pana-
ma scheme had utterly failed. The French
stockholders had been robbed. The COM
pany was discredited in France; in fact,
II seemed to have no credit except in the
United States.

Mr.. Sims, of Tennessee, lis il not likely
that the French government will complete
the Panama canal?'
TWO CANALS NOT PROBABLE.
There is the same probability of two
canals answered Mr.. Hepburn, that
there is of the Suez canal being paralleled
by another"
Asked as to the advisability of giving
the President authority to build on either
route, Mr.. Hepburn again raised applause
by declaring that he looked upon any at
tempt to entangle the United States in
the Panama enterprise as an effort to de-
feat any canal

ABOUT MAIN STREET

Main street is a manufactured road
and not natural, as many people might
suppose. 1t, however, is one of the
best streets in the county, and for
wheeling in unsurpassed by asphalt
or any other pavement. 1t is made
up of sand and earth and has been
graded considerably.
At one time there was much lar
ger hill from First street to the peni-
tentiary but it was graded fully five
feet. Main street from the soda
springs out to Four Mile is very
pretty drive.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Be kind and gentle. Do not hold
grudges against your neighbor. Gull
tivate a forgiving spirit. Be manly.
Be above doing little things and
overlook them in others. Don't
waste your time in trying to get
even with somebody. Save your en-
ergy for nobler things. It's more
profitable in the long run. Forgive
freely and forget imaginary wrcngs.
The man who will live thus will add
years to his life, happiness to each
wear, and will make better imam
cial success than the other fellow.

MANY young man in Canon City is
throwing away golden opportunities.
The years from seventeen to twenty
are about the most important in
young mans life. The boy who
spends them in industry with an aim
at the future is apt to make sue
cessful man. The boys who go
through these three years in idleness,
enjoying the little vices that idleness
encourages will have harder time in
life. The man of twenty-five is apt
to be much like the boy from seven
teen to twenty, and at twenty-five
a mans future is half made.

Excellent oil territory surrounding
this city. The first oil in the state
was discovered near Canon City and
the best oil in the West is now being
taken from the Florence field. Mil
lions of dollars worth of oil have
been shipped from Florence. yet
thousands of acres of promising, yet
unprospected, territory lay within a
dozen miles of Canon City and Flor
ence. We undoubtedly have before
US a great oil boom.
The state legislature has now been
in extra session two and one-half
weeks and very little has been done.
This is, however, good failing, for
the less they do the better it will be
for the people of the state. We
could well afford to give them few
weeks pay if they would promise not
to enact any more laws.
Canon has just completed q $780,
900 church. 1t now has under way a
$4,000 sewer, a $25, 900 high schocii,
a $35, 900 business block. contract
has just been let for another $25, 900
business block, and plans are being
made for $4,000 city hall and
$4,000 library. These are not bad
figures for medium city.
