planned the Rockaway Valley rail-
road. The line was begun at White
house, Hunterdon county, in 1888. and
ended at Watnong several years later.
There has been determined effort
upon the part of the road to get into
Morristown. but there was an equally
strong determination upon the part
Of some Of the townspeople to keep il
out. Recently, however, it has been
enabled to secure the land for an en-
trance and will land it's passengers
within a half mile of the center Of
the town instead of one and one-half
miles, as at present.
Time and again the story has been
told that the Rockaway Valley railroad
would be extended from Whitehouse
to Flemintgon on this end, and from
Watnong, Morristown, to Caldwell on
the other, so as to form through line
from this city to Paterson via Penn
sylvania to Pennington.

THE SENATORIAL OUTLOOK.

The outcome of the Senatorial con-
test is still very uncertain and the
best informed are still in the dark as
to the probable result. The lead
ing candidates are John F. Dryden. of
Newark; John W. Griggs, of Pater-
son; Edward 9. Stokes, Of Cumber-
land County and David Baird, OF
Camden. So far as voting strength
goes, they have about an equal num-
Der of votes for first choice which
leaves the possibility of a number OF
very interesting combinations.
Probably David Baird, though q very
shrewd and long headed politician
very popular in his own neighborhood
is not SO highly qualified for the Sen
atdtship as the other three leading
candidates. Mr.. Dryden is man OF
undoubted business ability, who has
been extremely successful in life in
surance and other large financial oper-
ations. He has been a generous sup
porter of the Republican party and he
enjoys the confidence of the communi-
ty in which he lives.
John W. Griggs has taken an active
part in public life, having served as
State Senator, as Governor of the
State and as Attorney General in the
Mckinley administration. In each
of these positions he won the confd-
ence and regard Of his party and OF
the public generally and it was an
undonbted disappointment to many OF
his friends that he resigned both the
governorship and the attorney gener-
alship before the completion Of his
term of office.
Edward @. Stokes has also been &C.
tive in public life. He served with
distinction in the senate of which he
became president. He is now CLERK
of the Court of Chancery and is also
president of one of the leading banks
in Trenton.
The Chronicle rather thinks that Mr.
Stokes will be the successful candi
date and that he deserves the success
He is exceedingly popular and tina
not only in his own section Of the
State.ss His Kindly and affable manner
and the keen attention he has giver
to the business of the State particu
larly with view to saving the poe
kets of the, taxpayers have won him
the regard of great number of PEG
pie in every walk of life throughout
the who'll state.

.l|NE GREAT SHIP CANALS
Continued from First Page,

Atlantic and North Sea through the
north of Scotland, is IL feet in depth,
fifty feet in width at the bottom, $50
miles long, cost 81, 000 600, and at its
highest point 81 feet above sea level
The canal du Midi, cut through France
from Toulouse on the Garonne to
Cette on the Mediterranean, distance
of $50 miles, is 61a feet deep, so feet
wide, and 600 feet ABOVE sea level at
its highest point, and has ia locks /:
total cost, So, 500, 0OO
/ In America the canals connecting
there at Lakes are the principal ship
canals and are three in number: The
Welland canal, originally constructed
in 1888 and enlarged in 1871 and 1900;
the Sault Ste. Marie, or st. Mary's
river canal, opened in 1856 and en-
larged in 1857; and the Canadian can
al at ST. Mary's river, opened in 1895.
The American and Canadian canals
at ST. Mary's falls are practically
| identical in location and dimensions
and are used INTERCHANGEABLE by
/ vessels engaged in commerce., as con-
venience may dictate. The depth of
the canals at the St. Marys river is
sufficient to accommodate vessels
drawing 90 feet of water. The Ameri-
can canal was originally constructed
by the state of Michigan, but subse-
quently taken charge of by the United
States and enlarged at cost of 50, :
10000. The cost of the Welland can
al was about $50, 600, 600, largely due
to the fact that % locks are required
in surrounding the rise of 327 feet in
the distance of 81 miles. The number
of vessels passing through the canals
at st. Mary's river has greatly in
creased during the past few years,
while the number passing through
the Welland canal has materially de-
oreased the number passing through
the st. Mary's canal being, in 1878,
j 2,5l7, and in 1901. 20,041. of which
10, 1877 passed through the United
States canal and 4,204 through the
Canadian. The number of vessels
passing through the Welland canal
has decreased from 6,4s5 in 1878 to
| 2, 209 in 1899. The marked contrast
between the business of the st. Mary s
falls and Welland canals is largely
due to the fact that the freights ORR
ginatiug in. the Lake Superior dis
trict are chiefly discharged at Lake
Erie ports and those destined for the
Lake Superior region are chiefly pro-
duced in the section contiguous to
Lake Erie, the Lake Superior freights
being chiefly iron, copper and grain,
and the Lake Erie freights for Lake
4 Superior, coal and manufactures.
The business of the st. Mary falls
canal by far surpasses in volume that
of any other canal in the world, the
freight tonnage of the American and
Canadian canals combined being in
1901, "a, 6s6, 976 registered tons. while
the net tonnage of the Suez canal
in 1900 was 9,S7S. 152 tons, and that
of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, 4,2S2, :
094 tons.

our GAME LAWS.

It is reported that the sportsmen of
New York city and Philadelphia Will
undertake at this session of the legis-
lature to have repealed the law that
prohibits nonresident gunners from
taking game out Of the state
The statute should remain as it is.
New Jersey is now practically game
preserve for the nimrods of New York
and Pennsylvania. A man may own
q forest, but he cannot snare or trap
on his own domain the game that
feeds there.
II would seem as Ii the right to
kill game ought to be preserved for
those who are citizens Of New Jersey
and who pay taxes there.
Such men carry the game they shoot
to their own tables or take il to the
home market The on-resident hun
ter kills it for sport and aims to I'LL
his game bag so that be may enjoy
the praise OF his friends outside the
state lines.
# there is to be any revision Of the
game laws, let il be in the interest Of
New Jersey residents rather than
against them STATED azette.

| failure of the Middlesex County Bank
has been opened. Vice Chancellor Pit
ney at Newark on Monday afternoon
handed down decision holding the
president and directors of the bank liable
for the losses in the sum Of 1919, 900.
| The Cashier George M. Valentine alb
seconded on July IA, 1899 and later it
was found that clean sweep had been
made Of the funds in the bank and of
the deposit of $4,000 in the National
Park Bank of New York. The bank was
total wreck and it was charged that
ordinary business prudence had not been
exercised by the president and the
directors,
Cashier Valentine having given him
self up was taken before Judge Strong
and sentenced to six Yeas imprison-
ment. The action against the officers of
the bank proceeded according to due
course of law and has now come to the
final decision as stated above. 1t has
been learned that the directors of the
bank held a meeting last week and pre-
scented proposition to Receiver Camp
bell, to be by him submitted to Vice
Chancellor Pitney. This proposition. it
is understood, was that the directors be
fined. they being willing to submit to a
fine, and that they be not held respon-
sible for the losses of the bank. This
proposition, it is stated, was submitted
to the Vice Chancellor and was refused
by him.

PENSION CLAIMS DECREASING

Congressman Barney in charge of
the pension in the House of Represen-
tatives in explaining the same on
Monday said that it carried $l39, SAG,
4SO as against $l45, s45, $50 appropria-
ted for the current year. The estimates
for the payment of pensions had been
decreased from Sl4o, 600, 900 to $1ss, :
600, 900.
The decrease Mr.. Barney accounted
for by the fact that the arrearages are
decreasing and the number of large
pensions Chose from $50 to $75 per
monthly was also decreasing 1t is said
that the high tide of pension pay
ments had been reached and the
amount required probably would re-
main stationary for some years.

NOT ON THESE TERMS.

The more closely the offer Of the
Panama Canal Company to sell all its
work, franchises and concessions to
the United States for the very respec-
table consideration of $40 900, 900 is
examined, the more suspicious does
the proposed bargain become. There
is one important feature of the matter,
as developed by the examination Of
M. Lampre before thesSenate commitss
tee, which must be kept continually
in mind in all future consideration of
the proposition. The concession held
by the present French company is
for ninety mine years only, at the ex-
piration of which period, consider
able portion of which has already
passed, the property will revert to

It does not appear that Congress
has authority to establish a legal Holt
day. throughout the United States, as
the bill introduced by Representative
Smith. of Michigan, proposes in the
case of the birthday of William
Mckinley. There is no constitution
al authority for suoh action and, in
deed. no precedent for it. Legal
holidays are established by State au-
thority; even the Fourth of July
holds its place as holiday in law
only by State sanction. The Presi-
dents proclamation of Thanksgiving
is only Recommendation as to per-
sohal conduct on the part Of citizens,
and the creation Of holiday on that
occasion follows only where the State
executive proclaims it in exercise Of
the powers yes ed in him by the
State. II any governor Of State
were to ignore the Presidents recon-
mendation and designate another date
for the Thanksgiving holiday. his APP
pointment would have no legal force.
