That Much Desired Canal.

In view of the prominence and i'm
pOrtance Of the canal question it is
interesting to note one of the proba
Bile causes of delay in bringing this
matter to focus. 1t would appear
as though our tropical friends are
seeking for some better returns than
$lO.0OO,OO0. judging from the follow
ing from the columns of such a
source as the Washington Star A
candid consideration of the premises
leads the disinterested reader to the
conclusion that the ultimate cost of
this enterprise to the United States
has not vet been conceived. It is
probable that the advocates of the
Nicaragua route will take advantage
of the situation
The quotation from the Star is as
follows.
There continues to be widespread
regret in official and all other circles
interested that some connected and
definite story can not come from Co.
lombia relative to just what action
was taken by the Colombian congress
as to the treaty with the United
States for the purchase. completion
and operation of the Panama canal.
Surprise is expressed that Ameri-
can newspaper men in Colombia have
not sent 10 this country some story
that would give a correct idea of the
Colon bian attitude and probable flu
ture purposes An eminent authori-
ty on the history Of the Panama ca
nal and the concessions granted by
Colombia is of the opinion. from all
the reports that have come from
South America. that the Colombian
congress has not rejected or defeated
the treaty. but has merely laid it
aside. expecting an advantage in
some way or other, probably pecuni-
ary by postponement. This au-
thorty has no peer as to the legal
status of the canal company and sim
liar features
The opinion was recently expressed
by an important congressional advo-
cate of the Nicaragua route that Co
lombia had turned the treaty down
because the concession granted to the
canal company will it is claimed. ex-
pire October 81. 1904. at which time
the entire property will pass into the
hands of Colombia. 10 be used as she
sees fit. This authority thought that
Colombia had acted properly from
patriotic motives and suggested that
it would be decidedly foolish for Col
ombia TO accept $4,000, 900 from this
country at this time for the privileges
that the United States might see fit
TO offer $50. 900. 900 for within a little
over a year. 1t is claimed by this
authority that there was no question
that the concession. together with all
the property of the Panama company,
would revert to Colombia next year.

Treaty Of 1860 Insures Privilege to the In

TO HUNT AND SsQRY FIREARMS
O their Reservation Just the Same any Citizen but They
are Amenabe to Game Laws when Hunting Outside
Their Own Preserves Where they are Sovereign

The reported slaughter of game by
indians in western Flathead county
mas caused numerous inquiries to be
made regarding the law passed at
the last session of the legislature in
which officers are authorized to con
fscate and sell all arms found on In.
dams while off their reservations is
also questioned by many who have
been witnesses of the red man s
reckless defiance Of the game laws
When the Flathead reservation was
created in 1860 the treaty made at
that time between the United States
government and the koOtenais, Flat
heads and other members of the con
federated tribes contained the follow
ing clause: The members Of the
cOnfederated tribes shall have the eX-
elusive right to hunt and fish within
the limits Of the lands hereby rescrv-
ed, and shall have the right in com
q, mon with the White citizens to hunt
and fish on lands adjacent to said
reservations. This clause has been
the subject of more or less controver-
sy ever since the enactment of the
treaties, many judges holding that as
it was made by the government it is
not amenable to state laws. S. NJ.
Logan. when asked regarding the
matter. said The treaty mention
ed was made in pursuance of the con-
stitution of the United States and
therefore has the force and effect Of
law. Some courts have held that
such treaties are paramount to anF
state legislation. If this contention
should be sustained with reference to
the law passed last winter then of
course the officers will be powerless
to prevent Indians from carrying fire
arms when off the reservation"
The law referred to by Mr.. Logan
reads as follows: ANY Indian who,
while off the reservation carries or
bears. or causes to be carried or
borne by any member or any party
with whom he may travel or stop,
any pistol, revolver. rifle or other fire

RUBBER!
Not Necks But Trees ard Rubber
Culture.


Culture
Washington d. e.. NOV. The
persistent rise in the price Of rubber
and the universal credulity Of the in
N"stng public have been the two fac
tors which made. possible the hota-
ton of the many Central American
and Mexican s0-called rubber planta-
tions. 1t is quite possible that cor
rect and scientific methods of rubber
tree culture viii produce reasonable
profits, as would almost any other
agricultural enterprise. but that such
methods are at present known or un-
derstood IS mOoted question. En-
perimental cultivation of the several
species Of rubber tree recognized in
the botanical world has been carried
on for more than thirty years. and
yet conservative opinion maintains
that the success of such an enter
prise is extremely hazardous.
The American consul general in
''''"" declares he is in receipt of a
dozen letters weekly from intending
investors in rubber plantation com
panies, who have been led on by the
lurid promises of the abnormal pro
fits to be secured from tropical agri
cultural investments, The depart
ment of agriculture has been fairly
besieged for information. After sugar
and coffee annual imports of which
are respectively. in round figures

Der is the largest of the tropical i'm
ports of this country. aggregatins
$2S. 100000.
There Is 4 greater amount of Amer
ican capital invested in rubber cul-
tlTc than in any other tropical in
dustry. Estimates varOusly place
this amount at anywhere from $25-
600 900 to $4,000 900, few if any of
which has yet realized the remunera-
tive dividends that tn" stock holders
anticipated.
In order 10 secure reliable first
hand data on the subject. the depart
reent of agriculture dispatched O. +.
Cook. the botanst in charge of inves-
legations in tropical agriculture, to
Central America to make careful
study of tho culture Of the American
rubber tree for the benefit of the
many interested parties. The results
of this trip are embodied in a new
bulletin Just issued by the govern
ment. entitled The Culture Of the
