waterlogged. Just before daylight our
only lifeboat was washed away and
we were rolling in the trough of the
sea. The $4,000 feet of lumber that
we had on board began to wash away
piece by piece.
"All this time the great seas were
curling with clock-like regularity over

The current output Of iron ore is not

whether the operation Of all these fur
naces will prove necessary. as the

HANNA A GREAT MAN.

Senator Marcus A. Hanna is
dead, and since his death the
people can better appreciate and
more fully realize the greatness OF
the man.
From obscure parentage, Hanna,
round after round climbed the
ladder of success against all odds
until he reached the top. He was
born fighter, and with him there
was no such word as fail. He al
ways looked far into the future,
and the foundation of everything
that he undertook was built oD
solid rock. He made few mistakes.
In the business world he was a
power. In amassing a great for
tune, he succeeded through his
own ability and his own efforts.
Upon entering politics, Hanna
showed the same zeal, great exec
utive ability, and took his place in
the front ranks in hewing out the
rosd to success.
In the campaign Of 1896, when
the country was threatened with
the silver craze, Hanna, as a great
leader, was out with every weapon
at his command against it. He
was always at the front and took
the brunt of the battle. He was
made a special target. He was
cartooned, he was abused, he was
talked about and misrepresented
more than any other individual,
but above all he came out carry
ing the banner of victory.
To get a seat IN the United
States Senate, be had another hai d
fight, but he succeeded and his last
election was a walk over. Prior
to his death his name as Presi-
den tial candidate WAS not looked
upon lightly. He was strong
man.
His name can we'll be placed
among the great men of the
nation.

LONG CREEKS DISGRACE.

The people of Long Greek have
held mass meeting to discuss the
method Of procedure in lnstitut-
ing vigorous campaign in an en-
deavor to run down the cowardly
criminal or criminals who blew up
the Office of the Ranger with dyna.
mite. The officers and people Of
Grant county should leave moth
ing undone in bringing to justice
the perpetrators of this destardly
crime, for this will in a measure
help to blot out the disgrace that
now hangs over the community.
While Mr.. ,Coe has been cratic
and probably has rushed into
print with too much local scandal
and has shown a weakness in this,
still the public is amply protected
with laws to punish for the circu-
lation of libelous matter.
This work of anarchy is a blow
at American liberty and the free
dom of the press.
Mr.. Coe is poor man who has
worked hard to get together the
property which was destroyed
without a moments warning, or
the slightest show of defense.
Not only has Mr.. Goes property
been destroyed but he has received
an anonymous letter in which his
life is threatened.
This is a serious affair which de-
maDds the immediate and deter
mined action of Long Creeks citi-
zens.

Not so Herculean a Task.

Friends of the Panama treaty will be
gratiied to learn that competent en-
gineers do not consider the herculean
task of excavating the great lnterocean-
ic canal by the isthmian route as so in
terminable in labor and the expendi-
ture of hard American dollars as COM
mon belief makes it. The history of
the Panama Canal has made it good
deal of bugaboo, and there is, indeed
reason to view the undertaking of its
constructian by the United States with
some misgivlngs as to time and money.
All estimates must necessarily be loose
ly approximate.
However, we have lately, from Major
Black and Lieutenant Brooks of the
United States Engineer corps operating
in Panama. the assurance that two fifths
Of the work of construction is already

completed, which is to say that the ca
nal is practically half done. This is
much better than most Of us had sup
posed In round numbers, 85 million
cubic meters of earth have been exca-
waited, making ditch of regulation
width IA miles long on the Atlantic side
of the isthmus and four miles on the
Pacific side. There is no Gibralter like
rock to be blown asunder and van
quished by sheer attrition, as the buga-
boo alarmlsts are fond of claiming, and
the dry cutting still to be done amounts
to but few miles in extent. The work
done by the French Panama Canal Com
pany has been we'll done, though of
course, there is much wreckage and
Jungle of late growth, and the old exca-
vations will have to be deepened.
American sanitary experts on the
ground assert that the alarming un-
healthtulness of the region has been
considerably exaggerated, and that al.
though pestilence is endemic, sickness
and mortality can be vastly reduced and
minimized by the exercise of stringent
sanitary regulations, such as were put
in force by the Americans in Cuba.
1t is estimated by the best engineers
who have lately examined the line the
canal thoroughly, that the remaining
work on it can be done in less time than
was employed in the active constructive
work of the old Panama Canal Company.
Some of them put the minimum requisite
time to completion at seven or eight
years, others at ten years.
If this be true, it is highly gratifying
to know that there can reasonably be no
foundation for all the talk we have been
hearing about the improbability of the
present generation witnessing the open
ing of the great transisthmian waterway
to the commerce of the world. When
Yankee energy, Yankee skill and Yam
kee dollars combine to accomplish a
great National project such as this, the
accomplishment is not only sure but it is
