stage" said Mr. Monk IN speaking of
the proposed exhibit. from the days
when he was a mere boy at Wadding-
ton. and could scarcely trudge around
and was only strong enough to snap a
whip with great exertion of his little
arms. When he was only twelve years
old he drove stage from waddington to
Massena, and I am told by the older
residents Of the town that he was a good
driver, even at that early age.
Hank was born in waddington in 1928
He was the eldest of a family OF four chill
dren. Our family was of the same or
igin as the good Vermont stock In 'Eben
Holden Grandfather and grandmother
came from Vermont in 1909, making the
journey to Washington through the
woods. When Hank first took the Wad-
dington- Massena route many shook their
heads and said he was too young. but
he showed the doubters that he was
natural driver
when gold was discovered in 1S4s
Hank wanted 10 make a trip to the
coast. Mother objected strongly. and he
deferred the trip for a time, holding to
the stage route while he remained in
this part of the country. But when he
was twenty-four years of age. in 1852,
the lever was too much for him and he
went West. The next time the people at
home heard from him he was driving a
six-horse stage coach in the Sierras.
For many years he drove the Wells
Fargo stage, from Sacramento to Placer
Vile 1t was here that he first became
acquainted with Joaquin Miller, CaIifor-
MAS poet, who later won such fame
in verse
Thank was running out of Virginia
City when Horace Greeley made the
trip TO Placerville. which is described by
DR.. Clemens in 'Roughing It. The
distance was forty miles and the trip
was made in four hours.
Nearly everyone on the coast and
directly east of the mountains came to
know my brother, either personally or
by repute, as early as the sixties, and
gradually his reputation crossed the
divide, and came through the East. He
was an adventurous fellow. but he took
no chances when his coach was loaded.
He died in 1888"

The Nicarauguan canal route is
again being discussed as a possible
way out of the position into which
this government has been forced by
the action of Columbia in refusing to
ratify the canal treaty. Some very
important things have been learned
in a forcible manner since the lake
route was discussed a few years ago.
Not only is the task a gigantic one,
almost beyond comprehension, but the
country has recently been the scene of
earthquake disasters that would have
destroyed the work had it been COM
pleted. 1t is true that the same OBJ
lection could be made to the Panama
route, but the shorter distance across
and the. fact that the adjacent
bodies of land are large would re-
duce the danger to a minimum. But
on the Nicarauguan route the lake
in the interior which becomes a
part of the canal, and the elevation
over which it is necessary to pass
make the construction of large and
expensive locks necessary, and an
earthquake, no matter how slight
would destroy them in a moment,
rendering the whole canal useless
without enormous expense in the
way of repairs.
