BENEFITS OF CANAL
Improvement Won't Necessarily Help
Minneapolis NIillers and May Hurt.

Increased water transportation ia
cilities make the difference between
rates on the raw material and on the
finished product greater. While the
rate on the raw material is reduced
by water competition, that on fin
iShed goods is not affected.
If these two propositions are true,
it is a question whether the widening
of the Erie canal and it's improve
ment as a waterway made possible by
the vote yesterday in New York state
authorizing the expenditure on the
canal of $101, 1000, will have a good
effect on the manufacturing business
of Minneapolis.
Charles G. Bovey, of the Washburn-
Crosby company, speaks on the ques-
ton as flour manufacturer: Eat

think the plan a great thing for the
milling industry, but on careful con-
sideration it would seem a positive
detriment."
stand on higher ground than that of
miller purely: 1T opens another
artery for carrying raw material out
of the country. Canals and water
routes have always seemed more
adaptable to carrying bulk cargoes
and not the finished product
He added: 1--WE are manufacturers
and we are looking to means for carry
| ing the manufactured product, and
easy means for conveying raw material
out of the country are detrimental to
our interests
Speaking Of all-rail shipments, Mr.
Bovey said: 'The railroads convey
directly to the warehouse or point OF
destination, thus avoiding transfer. In
foreign countries where labor is cheap
and rail rates relatively higher than in
| this country, canals, with the rehand-
ling they necessitate, are more profit
able than in this country, where, with
higher priced labor, the expense OF
rehandling makes their cost almost
prohibitive for the manufactured com
modities. Canals in the foreign coun-
tries are popular because of the labor
conditions. Here the transportation
must be made with the least possible
expense. For export flour the cana
route may do, but I fear that it. will
carry more export wheat" :-
\ Mr.. Bovey intimated that the rail
roads were just beginning to appre-
ciate the manufactured product as
against the raw material and manu-.

this idea.

that our government was fully ap-
,prised of the preparations for the out
break and shaped its course accord
ingly.
The revolt of Panama is the direct
result of the failure Of the Colombian
government to ratify the canal treaty.
The state Of Panama had everything
canal. The Colombian politicians saw
in the canal only a, chance to hold up
the United States for unlimited mil
lions. Ayarice overreached itself and
instead Of securing a higher price
Colombia has embrOiled itself IN a
civil war.
The Panama revolution is financed
by the French investors who are in
terested in the sale of the Panama
works to the United States. 1t was
their only salvation. Abandonment of
the Panama route by the United
States and the adoption of the Near
aqua project would leave the Panama
company wrecked. They stood to lose
MILLIONS and the cost of a revolution
in Panama was small stake to put
on the table.
Why Roosevelt Delayed.
President Roosevelt has been sew

Nicaragua project for not adopting the
alternative route In accordance with
the law passed last winter. The presi-
dent could not then give public ut

had been advised by confidential
agents that events would soon come to
pass in Panama which would put a
different face on the canal negotia.

these events.
The United States will remain strict

American interests will be protected
and in order to do this marines will
be landed at any point where they may
be needed and the ships of the south
Atlantic squadron will be held in

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong,
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For Che Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, If we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of ill health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues Of Paine's Celery Compound.

1T is only necessary to state that a

Corners neighborhood was estab-
lished last week, and to quote the
following from the Ludlow Tribune:
When the carrier on route No. /.

Corners at eleven o'clock he was sur.
prised to receive a regular ovation.
About fifty people had gathered and
he was greeted with much noise from
cannon and whistles. At the school.
house a program was carried out with
speeches by several of the patrons of
the route and music by a mixed quar-
tet. Great enthu siasm was manifested.
They said that it would mean better
things for them and for their chill
dren in being able to keep in touch
with the outside world. In some in
stances they have been for two or
three weeks unable to get their mail.
They are to make a great effort to put
their roads into better shape and to
keep them open in the winter. They
congratulated Mr.. Taft ON his success
in getting the appointment as carrier,
and offered to assist him in every way
possible. He thanked them for their
kindly expressions, and explained some
features of the service. The school,
room had been decorated in the
national colors and he was given a
banner with the letters r. f. d. in
the center, enoiroled with stars. Re-
