STATE DEPARTMENT
OFFICIALS THANKFUL
Canal Treaty Expected to overshadow
Even That Achieve
msnt

Secretary Fay and his associates have
much 20 be thankful for today. Since
last Thanksgiving there have been
marked changes in international affairs
which are greatly to the benefit Of the
United States.
The settlement OF the Alaskan bound
arg dispute is probably the greatest
diplomatic achievement Of the United
States since last Thanksgiving. 1t pales
in comparison with the canal negotia-
tons which are about TO result in the
construction Of the long discussed 18th
milan canal, but the Alaskan dispute has
the merit of being settled, while the
Panama Canal treaty yet lacks eonfirma-
ton.
In the nego,laJion OF the commercial
treaty with China, which insures the
opening of the Manchurian ports of
Mukden and Antung and the extension
OF American commerce in China, Sec
rotary Hay achieved n great victory.
With Consul General Skinner eating
Thanksgiving dinner IN the Abyssinian
capital with King Menelik, the United
States is Doubtless certain of a COM
mercial treaty with Abyssinia. which
will give this country commercial
foothoid in the interior OF Africa
Trouble in Syria which threatened 10
involve the United States in the quar-
rel of the powers having holdings on the
Mediterranean, has been settled. Smerl-
can subjects are now safe in Asia Minor.
and have greater liberty in all Turkey.

night and day, they make the trip in sixteen
days; bu- 80 unbroken and expeditions run

weeks for the Journey. As for freight trains,
they make at bes. abou. eight Mills an hour
But they do little running at night, and are
necessarily subject 10 frequent and prolonged

Electric Railroad
NOTES
Value Of Franchises.

This is a subject of quite a good
deal Of discussion, and is apt to lead
to much different line OF comment
from those who have no property in
the vicinity or district traversed by
an electric railway line, or in the
towns and cities having the advan-
taXes Of such line.
In many eastern sections where
there are good railroad facilities with
good competition. instead OF asking
applicants for franchises to pay for
them, the cities are Offering good in
ducements for them to come, and not
cQn6ning it to just the section deriv-
ing the direct benefit, but the whole
township: for instances, the town
Of Anderson. Ind, gave w. B.
Campbell tifty-year franchise for
an electric railway, paying no rev.
enue to the city. In Santa Rosa,

for the franchise for an electric rail-

crossing Sonoma county, has been ac-
cepted and franchise granted. This

More Trouble at Kersey.

Another chapter has been added
to the fight between Mrs. Ella J.
McMurray and the Union Pacific
railroad company at Kersey over the
right of way for a sidetrack. This
chapter was finished in justice court
last Saturday when the jury dis
agreed In. the case Of assault and
battery with which Mrs. McMurray
charged Ed Deuel., upeIintendent
Of construction of the railroad COM
pany. Some time ago Mrs. McMur.
ray fenced in sidetrack that it is
claimed had been laid on her prop.
erty. The trouble was renewed
about a week ago when Mrs. Nc
Murray had. planted a heavy fence
post in the middle Of the siding. and
she placed herself against the post to
keep the construction crew from re-
moving 1t.
1t appears that Mr.. Deuel.. did re-.
move the post after having removed
Mrs. McMurray. 1t was then that
the warrant for his arrest for as.
sanlt and battery followed
The next chapter opened Monday
morning when the railroad men at
tempted to go to work and found Mrs.
McMurray on the ground with a gun
that looked like cannon. There
was nothing doing in the work line
