ITEMS ABOUT PANAMA CANAL
Experts Say it VIII be Nearly Twenty
Years Before 1t Is Finished.

=
Years Before 1t Is Finished.
The members of the Panama COM
mission will receive as compensation
10000 year and $16 a day extra
while they are on the isthmus. If COR
responding salaries are paid to those
connected with the work, it is quite
certain that the total bill when the
work has been finished will be large
one. Expert engineers have figured
that it will be from l 4 to 30 years be-
fore ships will be able to pass through
the waterway. Before the canal is
completed the United States govern
ment will probably have expended
$3.50, 90, 900. The estimate of the ac-
tural cost of construction is $146, 00o, =
600.
The amount to be paid the French
company is SAC, 900, 900 and to the
Panama republic $40, 900, 900, besides
large annual rent.
In addition to this, there will be
many incidentals. besides considerable
loss of life through accidents, cpl
demios and exposure The canal will
have a winding channel 90 miles in
length. Ii will be 100 feet wide and
have a depth sufficient to float any YES
sci now on the sea.
There will be three locks at each end
and the highest level above the tide
water will be 90 feet. The heaviest
grading will be at the Culebra cut
where the maximum depth to be duG
is $50 feet for a distance of from nine
to IL miles.
Rear Admiral Walker says he be
ileved that work could begun in TIVE
or three months. BY this time, he sal,
} the question of title would be cleare,
and transfer made to the Unite,
States. The French company now ba
/ about 500 laborers at work on the Cul
: bera cut and this work will be con
tinued. He says the laborers of tn
) tropics all use alcoholic beverages ant
= that it would be impossible to obtaiI
( or retain lsborers for this work if tn
: sale Of liquors was prohibited.
Speaking of the class of labor tina
= it would be necessary to employ in tn
+ canal work, he says that the black
lAOul 81 dln4Od NC4O QnQOuUlCu1J tlAC OCc
= fitted class obtainable in the vioinit
: of the canal zone. But there were nc
j enough of them and coolie labor fror
b China and japan would have to b
G brought over for this work. He est
j mated that the maximum number c
D lsborers needed would be some 1000
t Other laborers who would come wit
4 these laborers would increase the popu
e lation of the zone to some IS 900.
The police force necessary to kee
order ON the isthmus Admiral Wake
J. suggested, should be organized as this
J. of an American city. One hundred me
:. at first would be sufficient, but thi
t number would have to be increased
l. perhaps 500. In case Of riots or unuss
e disturbances he believed the Panam
2 government could be relied on to al
4 the police for the strip, and he ais
q deemed it advisable to have 800 Anne
lean troops or marines permanent
stationed in the zone.

Ice-cream Festival.

As is we'll known, the members OF the
Baptist Church of Scooba have resolved
to build them a Westinghouse of their
own, and as churches, like other build
ings, cannot be built without money,
the good ladies of that denomination
have been exerting themselves in vari-
Gus ways to raise the funds necessary to
carry out the project.
As an aid to this enterprise, these
good ladies propose, on the evening Of
Friday, July 8th, to hold a re reception
and entertainment in the front yard Ct
Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Howell's resi-
dence, at which will be served ice
cream, sherbet and cake. 1t is hoped a
liberal patronage will be accorded On
this occasion, aud that the ladies may
take a long step towards the accom-
plishment of their desire.
Should the weather prove unpropi-
tious, the entertainment will be held
indoors.

Newspaper Rulings.
SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT AS TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

l. If subscribers order the diseon-
t%inuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the p~ostoAice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Ter other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
P aces without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
~postoffice, o. removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers paw in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all ~arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any,
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
u along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher Of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.
