of one ever being shot. SO shy are they
that only modern rifle could reach
one, even if man could be found
cruel enough to pull the trigger. They
are. however, trapped by the natives
for their wonderful wing feathers. OF
which nature can produce no equal in

fully grown is about seven feet III

COST OF THE PANAMA CANAL
Some of the Work to Be Done Before
Uncle Sam will Have Waterway
Across the Isthmus.

to the present has been about S1,OO0,-
600 cubic yards. Unfortunately, only
about 100000 cubic yards OF this
is available for the waterway pro-
posed in 1S99-19OO by the canal com
mission, of which Rear Admiral
Walker was president. The Walker
commissions recommendations in
cluded this available excavation in
the 4i0,0O0,000 to be paid the canal
company for its work, maps. records
drawings and the property Of the
Panama railroad company. The com
mission estimated that the total
amount of excavation which would be
required for the canal to be built from
it's plans, exclusive of that for the
Bohio dam and the Giganti spillway
would be 94.S63.703 cubic yards The
work remaining to be done, therefore.
represents the difference between the
amount of available excavation which
it will acquire by purchase from the
/ Panama canal company, or nearly
i three -fifths of the entire work. 1t is
estimated that the cost of this work
will be Sl44,233.35S. in addition to the
sum to be paid to the present owner
of the property BY the time it is
completed more than $3.50, 100000 will
have been obtained in one way OF
another for use in building the canal
while nearly $S12.o00,OOo will have
actually been spent in connection witt
its construction and administration.
1t was the intention Of the Panama
canal company to make the canal L9l
feet deep. The increased dimensions
Of steamers now being built has made
it necessary to plan for much deeper
canal and the Walker commission
plans are for a waterway thirty six
feet deep.

government in control of the isthmus

Tribune.
Already there has been an i'm

say that sum more than sufficient
to dig a waterway from ocean to

from investors at different times in its
history

that the expenditures actually made
on the isthmus amounted to $780,

ton and embankment proper was
$SS. 100000 The ultimate cost was
then estimated at $174,600,000 For
several years an effort was made to
capitalize a new company to complete
the work, and at last, in 1894. the
present Panama canal company was
organized with paid up capital or

Morton County for Gilbreath.

Morton County for GiIbreath.
Mandan Times: Many Of the state
papers are speaking right out in favor
of Mr. w. c. Gilbreath for the next
commissioner of insurance. For the
past three years Mr.. Gilbreath has
served as deputy under Commissioner
Lentz and has had the active manage
ment of the Office. Mr.. Leutz and Mr.
Gilbreath have been cautious in the
admission of rev companies to do
business in the state and have sue
ceeded in wedding out some Of the
wild cat concerns that had crept in
before their administration. The
revenues of the office have greatly in
creased and materially helped out the
state treasury. MIR. Gilbreath is a
Mandan man and it is very gratifying
to our citizens that his service has
been so satisfactory that the demand
for his promotion is practically unani
nous There is no doubt that the
Morton county delegation will ask his
nomination.

Changes in Army Uniforms.

The Quartermaster general of the
army is at work on some important
changes in the army uniform. One is
the substitution of metal for cloth
chevrOns on the sleeves of enlisted
mems uniforms. 1t is found practi-
cally impossible to find a color of
cloth which will not fade. The metal
chevron will be fastened to the sleeve
and will be detachible. The samples
on exhibition, of bronze, are much
smaller than the old cloth ones and
much more attractive. Another innO-
walton is the introduction of a So
called "V'' in the breast near the col
lar of the coat of the field uniform.
This tailors device contributes to the
appearance and comfort of the gar
ment. 1t is also proposed to change
the pockets so as to give them what
is known as bellows effect. impart-
ing greater capacity to the pocket.
which will be "choked off, at the top
so as to better protect the contents
of the pocket from loss.
The quartermaster general is also
considering the advisibility of changes
in the campaign hat. The objection
to the present hat is that when it is
wet it becomes soft and does not re-
tain its shape. An ingenious device
will probably be adopted in the shape
Of woven cord that will run through
a perforation in the rim on each side
| Of the crown. This cord will enable
the wearer Of the hat to secure 1t on
his head by bringing the cords into
knot at the back Of the neck. or II
he prefers, using the cord for the
same purpose by bringing one end
of 1t own to a buttonhole. Hither-
to. this security has been obtained by
means of strap sewed to the lining
Of the hat with the result that the
strap was continually breaking away
from the hat and rendering itself a
nuisance rather than thing of use.
