WHAT THE CANAL MEANS.
Mills and Manufactures of q. s. Will
Get SIOO,ooo,OoO Of Business.

New York. Jan. 29.-Bankers. both
foreign and domestic, said that the
signing of the Panama canal treaty
with Colombia was the strongest sort of
a bull argument and that the beginning
of the work of construction Of the canal
they assumed, of course, that the
treaty will be confirmed by the senate
would mean great additional material
prosperity for this country. They base
this opinion on the fact that the work
of constructing the canal would require
the expenditure of at least Sl00,00OO0O,
and all of which would practically be
spent here, although the money Tor IA
Dor might actually be disbursed in
Colombia. All the supplies needed
would be the product of American mills
and manufactures. and one of the
greatest benefciaries in that respect It
was said would be the United States
Steel corporation
The phase of <be matter. however. of
the most immediate interest to imam

made to the Panama Canal company

The Beginning and Close of a Lyon
County Romance.

Alta Vista. Kan, Jan. 29.-There ar
rived here on Thursday of last week,
on the 1920 a. m. train. a man. wo-
man and child who registered at the
FairvieW as J. c. Gustin and family
of Summerfelds Mo. Gustin purpOrted
to be looking for land. and the next
day went to Dwight From there he
sent the woman a check telling her to
pay board bill and meet him at White
City. But the check was drawn on a
bank in an obscure town in Missouri.
and Landlord Schilling had already be-
came suspicious that all was not right,
SO refused to accept the check. As the
woman had nothing else to pay with
she could not get away. Later a tele-
gram came from PaTkerVille saying he
would come after her on Wednesday,
but Tuesday evening there drove here
from Bushong, VIII Patterson and
Gustin, sr., who own a large ranch in
that section of the country. They were
on the hunt of J. c. Gustin and the
black-eyed woman, who was no other
than the wife of Patterson.
1t seems that in order to get the team
and to avoid suspicion, Gustin, jr,
wanted to go to town to get a lot of
gopher traps they had there, Mrs. Pat
terson accompanying him. After get
ting the traps they did not go home
but drove instead to Alma, where the
team and buggy with traps were left
al livery barn, and then their ar
rival here.
The woman was found here by her
husband. and after several hours talk.
reconciliation was made although he
had commenced q divorce suit at En-
poria before coming here.
The idea was suggested by the elder
Gustin, that she must have had one Of
those gopher traps with her that caught
Patterson. for Patterson had said he
would not live with her again. and
that his object in finding her was to
get a statement of financial affairs
Gustin, sr., seemed very much dis
gusted with the part his son had taken
in the affair, as well as that of his
partner in making up with his unloyal
spouse
