WILL BUILD THE CANAL

The United States will build the
Panama canal. The hopes and aspira-
tions of ambitious statesmen held for
half a century will be realized. Presi-
dent RooseveIts vigorous policy has
brought about the consummation long
sought.
BY a strong vote today the senate
ratified the treaty with the new Re
public of Panama and the canal will be
built, by the United states and operat-
ed and controlled by this government
for the benefit of the civilized world.
1t is worthy of note how the opposi-
ton to the canal disappeared under
pressure of the popular demand for it's
construction Senator German aided
by Senators Dubois and Teller at
tempted to organize the democrats in
congress against the policy of the ad
ministration regarding the treaty with
Panama and met with a signal failure
The democrats in the south were
strongly in favor of the canal and re-
fused to be lined up for any 1egisla
ton opposed to it merely to give lead
ing democrats an issue German failed
not only in his attempt to create
campaign issue but in his ambition to
bolster up his presidential boom.

up to the law. Mr.. VanCamp was
very much excited over the affair
and seemed to be badly frightened
over the result of the shooting
which he insists was done In self
defense and with no intention of
killing him when he shot. The
bullet entered the left leg causing
Lowry's death In about ten min.

man T. A. Williams, who was ap-
pointed as a special constable for
that purpose.
Mr.. Lowry was born and raised
near this city and was son of
Thomas Lowry who died many
years ago. He was by profession a
school teacher and served as Coun-
ty superintendent of free schools
one term, being elected to this Of
fee on the Democratic ticket. La
ter on, he turned to be Republican
and was elected In 1896 to the
House of Delegates on the
Republican ticket. He was about
50 years of age but was never
married. He just recently returned
from an extended visit to the old
country. He never drank, nor
smoked, chewed or formed any In
furious habits of this kind. He
was great student and a graduate
of Scio college. He had strong
likes and dislikes and had several
enemies and was himself an un-
compromising enemy. He had In
his life two or three fights, mostly
growing out of political quarrels
but was not considered a danger

later joined the Methodist church.
He atteaded church and took an
active part In Sunday school work.
He was q great student Of the
Bible and was well posted on his.
tory of all kinds. He seemed to
have an ungovernable temper and
brooded over insults real or genuine.
He was truly a peculiar man In
many ways. He was a great man
to argue but did not like to be de-
feated In an argument nor did he
care very much for any person who
did not agree with him IN his Ideas
Aside from his temper he was a
very good citizen and his father
and mother were among the most
highly respected citizens In this
part of the county.
Mr.. VanCamp Is also native of
this county and was born and
raised within FIVE miles of
this city. He did not live
more than two or three
miles from Mr.. Lowry all
his life. He Is also school teacher
by profession and was teaching the
the school at OH Ridge at the time
of the shooting. VanCamp Is not
a drinking man, was perfectly sober
and insists he shot with no intent
to kill Lowry but simply to pro-
.tect himself. 1t looks bad on Mr..
Lowry's part to 60 to the school
house where his avowed enemy was
teaching school and engage him In
a fight. Whether VanCamp was
justified In killing him or not we
will not say. When all the facts
are known 1t will be time enough
then to form an opinion. The
shooting occurred about half past

which flowed from the severed
artery In his leg. The coroners

The Fatal Quarrel.
It appears that for sometime Mr..
Lowry has been opposed to Mr..
Van Camp teaching the school at
Oil Ridge and tried to have trus'
tees appointed that would not en-
ploy him but In this he failed.
VanCamp says Lowry called at the
school house once before this win
ter to have quarrel at least but he
was not there.
From the best information we
get. Mr.. Lowry called at the
school this morning and called
VanCamp out of the school honse
and commenced to quarrel with
him. It Is said Lowry called Van
Camp a bad name and few blows
were struck when VanCamp started
to run bat In running noticed that
Lowry put his hand In his hip
pocket for his revolver, then Van
Camp pulled his gun and shot In
tending to disable Lowry by shoot

The community was shocked
this morning b. the report that
Peter B. Lowry had been shot and
killed almost instantly by a bullet
fred by Franklin Van Camp, who
Is teaching school at Oh Ridge,
about a mile and a half east OF this
city.
There Is not much to tell about
the murder. 1t appears that there
has been some bad feeling existing
between Mr.. Lowry and Van Camp
for a long time. This morning Mr.
Lowry went to the school house at
Oil Ridge where Mr.. VanCamp Is
teaching, and called him to the
door. They commenced to quarrel
and VanCamp says Lowry called
him bad name and struck at him.
Then, so VanCamp says, Mr.. Low
ry reached into his hip pocket.
as he supposed to get revolver,
when Van Camp pulled his
revolver and fred, intending to
shoot Lowry somewhere In the leg
and cripple him so he could not
shoot but just as he was In the act
of pulling the trigger. Lowry
slipped and fell kicking the revol.

g o'clock this morning about half
an hour after school time.
Prisoner interviewed
At noon today we visited Mr.. Van.
Camp and interviewed him. We
found him In a cell In the City
Building, closely guarded by Po-
licemap Williams. In his cell was
his sister who was standing talking
to him. He seemed very nervous,
very weak under the intense ex.
citemeut of the shooting and had
but little to say. In fact, he almost
positively declined to make any
statement only that he shot In
self defense and the trouble
did not grow out of politics nor re-
ligion. He has employed Messrs
Hunt & Staples as his counsel. He
says that while Mr.. Lowry has
been talking about him for some
time yet he had no Ill feeling to-
wards him, bore him no malice for
anything he may have said OF done
and only shot In self defense. Mr..
VanCamp Is a very small man
probably hot half as heavy In
weight as Mr.. Lowry and the latter
could easily pick him up and han
die him almost like a child.

the left leg of Mr.. Lowry about six

where his remains now are. He

each 20 feet long. These were strongly
Underlined with upright ironbark
planks, two and one-half inches thick,
secured to heavy framework to with
stand the pressure both from the loose
ground they were eXcayated out OF and
the silage when full The excavation
was about II feet deep, four feet being
over the surface OF the ground, banked
up as shown in cut. To keep back any
soakage, a six-inch drain was laid seven
feet deep all around, and clay puddle
placed against the planks. The roof
was semi-circular, and continued over
the ends to provide cover for the drays
when being loaded, and each pit was
provided with heavy chains, anchored to
bottom logs, and brought up through
the silage to the top over transverse
beams laid across top decking, and
pulled together by double-ended screw
ratchets which pressed the whole down.
A carrier on T-iron rails, hung under
the crown of the roof, served to take
the bags Of silage to the drays at each
end.
''The cost Of constructing these pits
was equal to about $40 per ton of ca
pacity. No doubt they are strong and
will last lifetime, but we have proved
they are not the best, although the most
expensive"

The majority of cellars are very I'M
properly ventilated and the length OF
time for keeping milk therein varies
on nearly all farms. The success in
the creameries Is due to the observ-
ance of a proper degree OF tempera-
ture. and until farmers become more
observing OF that point they Will con-
tinue to have difficulties. One of the
obstacles Is uncleanliness In the sta
bio as well as In the milk houses. The
regulation Of the churning Is as moth
ing compared with the essential re-
quisites OF properly keeping the place.

The water, however. IS the source OF
the greatest danger. 1t has been dem
onstrated by actual experiment that
the germs OF disease existing in I'm
pure water are carried without change
into the milk. where they rapidly
multiply and cause decomposition.

PROGRESS IN DAIRYING.
why Cheese Making Is Getting to lie
Profitable Industry In Num-
Der of Localities.

At the recent annual meeting OF the
Holstein- Friesian association Prof. RI.
H. Dean said: True progress cannot
take place in the dairy business, or in
any other business, unless we have the
people educated. And one Of the
things which we have been developing
in our country in connection with the
dairy business, and one which we
found to be very satisfactory, Is the
grouping of the various cheese rae
tories into small groups or syndl-
Gates of from % to 80 factories, put
ting an expert man in charge Of these
factories. He visits these factories at
least once q month, holds meetings OF
the patrons, discusses with them the
importance Of good cows, how to feed
these cows, how TO care for the milk,
advises the cheesemaker as to how he
can improve his produce, and l think
that we have possibly struck one OF
the notes which will do more to i'm
prove our cheese business than any
thing we have yet done along that
line. Formerly our instructors were
scattered over colleges. over large
number of factories, 80, 60. 100, or
200, or 300 factories, and they were
not getting at the men on the farm,
who were producing the milk, who
were producing the raw material; and
our dairy industry and your dairy In
dustry depends upon the quality OF the
raw material which Is produced; and
hence you, as farmers, as breeders OF
dairy cattle. as men who are supply
ing milk to the cheese factories and
creameries Of the various states, are
the men who are at the foundation OF
the business; and these are the men
who in the past we have been unable
to reach; but our system OF instruc-
ton now has been able to get at the
man on the average farm. and has pro-
duced wonderful results in our busi-
ness"
