WH0 GETS THE BENEFIT?

Editor .Astorian:-As time is being
taken to consider various plans for con
structing the canal at Dalles-Celilo,
would it not be well TO profit by the
experience at the cascades and build
a canal that will be of benefit
10 general navigation? None but
the swiftest boats with great power c~n
use the cascades canal No sail boat,
barge, vessel in tow or other cheap car
rying freight boat can pass the cas-
cadas. Hence, the cascades canal af-
fords but little competition with the
land routes. So much capital is re-
quired to build and operate such boats
as can stem the currents at the canal
that but few persons are able to en-
gage in the navigation of that part
of the river, and it would be easy for
the land lines to own or control the
water lines. Indeed, it is suspected
that the merger" has taken place al

In an article in HarpeT's Weekly. entltlad Where Minutes Count" Franklin Matthnws writes of the modern man of affairs and his continual effort to crowd as much actiyitq as possible into the least time. Mir. Matthews tells of e physician for whom the rush Of mod ern life proved fatal:
 fife had every minute of the day scheduled beforehand for his work. He was especially strong In consultations. Every patient who called to see him had the time fixed in ads vance. with just 90 many minutes set apart for looking him over. The physician caicu- lated to the second how long it took to get people into his office and how long it took kn get them out He had his secretary calculate how long 1t would take his carriage to reach a certain place. how long he would stay there and the exact minute he would reach the next place, and Q on.
 "He did his reading-for he was always naalk- ing addresses and writing papers. being hiaA official of the university therein his carriage. He dictated his papers to his secretary as ha drove from place to place. and he even went so far as to have his meals served sometimes fin his carriage. He died comparatively young; he burned out because he never took any time for play, never seemed to have any leisure. and never did have any. That's where he made his mistake He took advantage of every labor-saving device in those days, but he dla 1t only to do all the more work"

 DIsAsTRoUsLY AT BREwToN.
R. L. Williams Formerly of Macon County was Killed with Negro Workman--Another Me-
 gro Injured.

Brewton, Aug Especial )-At go o'clock this afternoon an explosion of terrific force occurred at the blaming mill of Blackshear Miller Lumber Company.
 A new steam and water condenser con meeting with dry kilns just installed this week. exploded. and one negro was blown forty feet and killed instantly. his neck
 Night Watchman R. L Williams. who was preparing to go on duty and who was standing immediately in front of where the drum came out of the shed, was fatally injured. Death resulted at o'clock tonight
 Both legs were broken and he was oth- erwise bruised externally. He was sup posed to have been injured internally. He was a white man, well liked by every one. coming from a prominent Macon County family and having resided in Bull lock County number of years. He re- moved here fifteen years ago and was about 50 years of age. He leaves wife. four sons and two daughters.
 Win Sims. colored. was paralyzed in the lower extremities by the explosion. and may recover.
 The cause of the accident is attributed to a defective drum, because of unequal thickness of metal holding pressure. Some of the broken pieces were hurled dis tance of seventy-five feet. Nothing has happened here for a long time that has cast more gloom over the community.

LABoR1 ON HUMPHREYS.
Says Government Failed to Make
 Out It's Case.

Paris, Aug. ls.-Maitre Labori to-day opened his address in defense of the Humberts. pointing out that Mime. Hum- bert had not said she had secret and intended to keep it, but she had frankly said she had a secret which she intended to divulge fully. She had given counsel her confidence, telling him her reason for believing that the Crawford millions existed, but she had not asked him to verify the facts, so he was not able to state them as matters of his own knowl- edge or to offer his guaranty for her feeling that she was fully abe to present her own disclosures.
 Concerning the testimony, Maitre La bori maintained that 1t was not suffi7 cient to convict Humberts on any spe- cific act of forgery or swindiing. but 1t consisted of rather vague, general alle- gations that the Crawfords did not exist. and that the millions did not exist. He insisted that 1t was insufficient for the prosecution to demand where are the CrawfoPds," and where are the mill lions?" but that 1t was incumbent on the prosecution to establish afiirmativeiy that both the Crawfords and the millions did not exist. Counsel further insisted that the whole prosecution proceeded from the idea that q huge swindle ex- isted, and that it was necessary for the Humberts to prove themselves innocent, whereas the requirement of the prosecu- ton was to prove them specifically guilty.

People will read advertisements about cures made by medicine. As they read they wonder if the statements are true. If true, was the relief temporary or per- pament? Read this case about Doan's Kidney Pills:

right shame that the President of the United States wishes 10 prevent the cul- ture of the sugar cane. That is precise ly what he wishes to do, for there is no denying the antagonism of the sugar planters to the culture of fruit Many planters owning and operating thousands of acres have little or no fruit on their tables, for they are opposed to- it's cul- ture. They say fruit culture. with such things as yams, sweet potatoes. tanniera and corn, would mean the total wreck of the sugar industry. And so 1t would. because the laborers would soon become independent farmers themselves. living under their own coocanut and breadfruit trees. reaping their own coffee and cocoa. having enough to spare of the good things of life. This has happened already in the small and beautiful island of Gre nada; 1t is taking place in Trinidad apd Jamaica. and if the President will hold his hand 1t will take place in Cuba, to the benefit of all concerned. Sugar Is the curse of the West Indies. Let it alone.

BEAUMONT BANK FAILS.
Rumors that the Bank Has $2O0, 900
 In OYerdrafts.

In OVerofa1rs.
 Beaumont, Tex, Aug. 19.-The Citizens National and Savings Bank was this af- ternoon closed by Bank Examiner Logan, who has been here for several days look ing over the affairs of the institution. Examiner Logan positively refused to say anything concerning the status of the banks affairs, beyond saying that he had prepared a statement for the Comptroller of the Currency. It Is rumored on the street that the bank has large sum in paper which is alleged to be practically worthless. The bank was opened for business May 31, 1901. The capital stock was $1O0.0O0 and the deposits have ranged in the neighborhood of S600,000 until re- gently.
 The other banks in the city were pre- pared for the collapse. Their officers state that they have provided for any emergency that may arise tomorrow when the fact of the suspension becomes gener- ally known and that no other bank will be affected by the crash. They declined to discuss the affairs of the Citizens Bank.
 The failed bank is offlcered by men who are well-known financially in the State, the published list of directors including ex-Governor J! S. Hogg, who is in the city now; Rod Oliver. J. S. Cullin, at the head of the big Texas oil Company; R. k. Brooks and W. T. Campbell and E. J. Marshall, formerly members of the Hogg- Swayne Syndicate,' which has made @ great sum out of oil.
 Rod Oliver, President of the bank, is connected with a number of banks throughout the State. He is in the city and is thoroughly posted as to the af- fairs of the institution. He denied him- self to all save intimate friends tonight. Governor Hogg tonight said. he was not a director; he had been elected. but had not accepted the place. He gave his own losses as several thousand dollars"

"FALL IN" AGAIN
c. A. R. VETERANS MARCH TO
 MARTIAL STRAINS.
Grizzled Veterans of the Union with Tattered Flags, and with Halt ing sSteps Parade Through
 Streets.

San Francisco, Aug. 1s.-Ten thousand survivors of the Civil war passed in re. view today, marching to the martial tunes that inspired them to endeavor forty years ago. Above the national colors, borne by every marcher. proudly fioated torn and tattered flags. These, with empty sleeves and limping gait. were elo- Quent reminders of the sorrow and glory of war. Unlike the parade of yesterday with the quick marching line of youths. this procession was the measured and steady tread of age. As the different divisions marched along, waves of senti- ment passed over marchers and spectators There were many still vigorous in line. but they waited for their weaker conn rades and the column halted often on it's two mile course.
 "It's my last march," said many . grixzled veteran as he started. ''It ls now or never and I am going to try"
 One bent old man. 70 years of age. with the Wisconsin delegation could not be dissuaded. His gait grew slower from from the spectators and led him out of the line. Of all the States, California excepted, the one that had the largest number in line was Illinois, but Ohio was a close second.
 Almost every delegation had its em- blem, Ohio It's buckeye, Connecticut c wooden nutmeg Minnesota a loaf of bread, and so on.
 At the head of the procession rode a veteran on a bicycle. Whenever the marchers halted he circled around with the ease of boy until the line moved on again.
 The afternoon was devoted largely to receptions and reunions.
 In the evening thousands attended a concert at Mechanics Pavilion. Gen. Nelson A. Miles was the guest of the Spanish-American war veterans.
 With receptions and entertainments of all kinds, the visiting members of the c. A. R. are having a most enjoyable time in this city. The old veterans have been extendeS a hearty welcome on all sides and everywhere they have hospitality ten- dered to them. The California posts pro- vide fruits and flowers in lavish abund- ance and open house Is the order of the day in all the local headquarters. Train after train still add its complement to the army of veterans already marshalied here and the encampment now begins to assume the proportions of the largest ever held in the history of/the organization. The arrivals now are computed at 2I 900 people from Eastern points with fully sS,- 600 persons in addition from California points. For the next two days excursions have been arranged to carry the visiting veterans to different points of interest in the interior and all the leading cities have made arrangements to give them an appropriate reception.

Stacking with Coal.

London, Aug. 2O.-The Daily Mail as- serts that Great Britain, Russia and Tur- key are laying in enormous quantities of Welsh steam coal. presumably in prep aration for all eventualities. The Brit ish admiralty has asked for quotations for 100000 tons of storage at the British stations. principally Gibraltar and Malta, for four months ending December.
 Russia wants nearly as much coal and Turkey is buying extensively. The Daily Mail further understands that unless the Macedonian situation improves. all the powers will probably send squadrons to Turkish waters.
