TO MAKE A LIVE TOWN.

Ii you want live town, push the
hustler. Few towns are without men
who have more push and energy ttan
means to carry out their plans. Per
haps the hustler may occasionally
make mistake, possibly he may
over reach in his efforts to build ul
the town. Better thus than not dc
1T at all. If you have such a mar
in town, keep him going, help him
push. He may. become weary at times
and should @be'eneouraged. Don't gel
jealous Of him and throw cold water
on his efforts. It is more difficult. &c
build up than to tear down. that lie
why so many are. engaged in destroy
ing what the few are creating. A
half dozen active mea in town are
worth more to it than a huut red pas
sive men. 1t takes more enterprise
than money to build up town. Gel
behind the hustler and keep pushing
don't push back. If you can't push
crawl out of sight and sit down..
you can't say good word, say moth

THE WHEAT FIGURE.

To the business interests of the
northwest, about the most interesting
bit of news is the government esti-
mate of the wheat yield Of. 1908
The total wheat crop is put at ST.,
600, 600 bushels, which is $1,000, 600
bushels less than the previors esti-
mate, and SO, 900, 900 bushels less than
the 1902 crop as complied by the gov
eminent, Altho this years crop is
the fourth largest in the country's
history. it is more than 100, 600, 600
bushels less than the great crop Of
1901. Last years crop practically
ranked with that Of 1893 as the second
largest the country has eve1 produced.
The Significance of the difference De-
tween this years crop and last is
brought out by these statements thst,
taken with the falling off in the Car a
dian crop, the decrease is equal to
the entire wheat crop Of Argentina
last year. 5s

into possession Of several hundred feet

His claim became one OF the bonan-

The site was one Of extraordinary
beauty, with the wall of snow capped

Newspaper advertising is the cheap:

The PANAMA CANAL.
Admiral Walker Talks About His
Plans.

Washington, March 19.-In conclud-
ing his hearing before the House COM
mittee ON Interstate and foreign COM
merce today Admiral Walker, president
of the Panama Canal commission,
stated that actual work on the canal
would be begun after the commission
had made stay Of few weeks on the
isthmus, for which. it was to. sail on
March 29. The arrangements for this
work will be completed in Washing
ton, where Che commission is to have
one Of Its headquarters. Admiral
Walker, in answer to a. question, said
that q Iarge number of inspectors
would be employed by the commission.
These inspectors would be: engineers,
and be did not want the law to- pro-
vide that they should be selected
through the civil service commission.
Admiral Walker advised that no re-
uuirement of law should make it neces-
sary to do the work by contract. If
this should be the case he believed
contractors might combine to the dis
advantage Of the Governmen.
It was the intention of the commits
sion he said, to continue actual work
on the canal as now being carried on
by the French company. in order to
demonstrate che exact cost of such
work.
The engineering feat of the whole
enterprise was explained to- be the
construction Of the Bohio dam. It
will be necessary to go 120 feet below
sea level to get the proper foundation
for this dam.
The admiral, however, had no doubt
that it was feasible to construct the
dam. On the question of sea level
canal Admiral Walker declared posi-
lively that in his opinion it would
never be necessary to go to the expense
of constructing such canal. A lock
canal would do all the work required
and cost much less.
