THE CANALS OF
THE WORLD

The SueZ canal is usually consid--
cred the most important example of
ship canals, though the number Of
vessels passing through it annually
does not equal that passing through
the canals connecting Lake Superior
with the chain of Great Lakes at the
south. In length, however, it ex-
ceeds any of the other great ship
canals, its total length being ninety
miles, of which about two-thirds is
through shallow lakes, says Harper's
Weekly.
The canal connecting the BAY Of
Cronstadt with ST. Petersburg is Il
work OF great strategic and CONNER
cial Importance to Russia. The can
al and sailing course in the bay are
about sixteen miles long, the canal
proper being about six miles and the
bay channel about ten miles, and
they together extend from Cronstadt,
on the Gulf OF Finland, to ST. Peters
burg.
The next of the great ship canals.
| connecting bodies OF salt water in the
| order OF date Of construction is the
Connth canal, which connects the
| Gulf Of Corinth with the Gulf OF
Aegina. The canal reduces the dis.
tance from Adriat.c ports about la
miles, and from Mediterranean ports
about 100 miles. It's length is about
four miles.
The Manchester Ship canal, which
connects Manchester. England, with
the Mersey river, Liverpool, and tht
Atlantic ocean, is thirty-dve and i
half miles long.
Two canals connect the Baltic ant
| North seas through Germany, tn,
first, known as the Kaiser Wilhelm
canal, having been completed 10 lS9;
and constructed largely for militar,
and naval purposes, but proving als'

least by their present use, the canals
at the st. Mary's river by far surpass
that of the Wel.and canal.
The Welland canal connects Lake
Ontario and Lake Erie on the Cana
dian side Of the river.
The canals of ,Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan and Ontario, are located
adjacent to the falls OF the st. Mary's
river, which connects Lake Superior
with Lake Huron, and lower or raise

height of seventeen to twenty feet.
The canal belonging to the United

dian canal, one and one-eigth miles
long, one hundred and flfty feet wide,
and twenty two feet deep, with lock

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN kOOTHNM COUNTY.
A Short General Review Of 1908. Bright
Prospects for the Future. Rapid
Development.
Lumber, Agriculture and Mining.

The year 1908 has undoubtedly
been the most prosperous In the his
tory OF Kootenai county. The bright
promises of good times, which could
be seen in 1902 have materialized.
and there is every evidence that the
future has still better things in store
for those who have faith in the re-
sources Of this richly favored part of
Idaho. Even II the prosperity Of the
year just closed, is not increased but
yet is not diminished in the year,
upon which we have entered, we VIII
still have reason to be joyful and be
greatly blessed. In no other year has
the development OF the resources Of
Kootenal county proceeded with such
strides; never before have her indus
tries grown 50 magnifcently, nor her
population increased SO substantially.
In no other branch Of industry has
this prosperity shown itself more
plainly than that Of numbering. The
product Of the past twelve months Is
nearly double that Of any previous
year. New sawnills have sprung up
in every part of the county, and
mountain sides and valleys, In vast
! areas, have been denuded Of piEe,
| FIR, tamarack and cedar. to furnish
! logs for the hungry saws. The lum-
Der produced has been OF excellent
quality and large part of it has
| been sold in the eastern market
Nearly all the larger mills have been
built by eastern capitalists. Among
the more important are the 1Iumblrd
mill at Standpoint, the mills Of the
Hope Lumber company, the White
Pine company, the LaClede, the
Kootenai Bay, and the Occur d'Alene
! companies. Other mills which are
situated in the midst of vast expanses
of timber are at Bonners Ferry, Har-
rlson and Newport. The finest
forests are around the three lakes.
Pend d'Oreille, Priest and Occur d.
Alene and along their tributaries.
There is scarcely town In the county
that is not familiar with the buzz OF
the sawmill. Even Rathdru:n, which
is not considered a sawmi.l town, has
two mills operating in its midst and
several others within radius nf ten
miles. Most of these mills are OF
medium capacity; the smallest turn
out 10, 600 feet, while the larger mills
manufacture 100, 900 feet Of lumber
per day. While the forests appear
inexhaustible, the amount Of lumber
produced has been SO great that theil
is, at present, an oversupply ant
consequent low sales.
Besides lumber, the forests Of Koot
enai county produce thousands o
cords Of wood, posts, poles aud ties
These are chiefly secured In tract

, terways. Most OF the wood !

Washington Letter.

From Our Regular CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec. %, 1903.
Senator Germans political schem
OF preventing the ratification Of the
Panama canal treaty and thus de-
featinX the Administration has turned
out complete failure. Only three
democratic votes are necessary to get
the two o-thirds' maturity to ratify the
treaty, and Mr.. German. after lnduc-
iny his colleagues to blnd themselves
by party caucus, hoped to unite them
inlOpposition to the treaty. He was
encouraged in this by Il speech in
which Senator IIoar criticised the
Administration. The struggle had
hardly commenced when Congress
adjourned for the holidays. Then
caue the news that the Louisiana
legislature had adopted unanimously
a resolution lnstructlng the Senators
from that state to support the treaty.
Shortly afterwards Governor farrell
Of Georgia made IA speech in which he
declared that he approved the action
Of the Administration in Panama
The action of the Louisiana legisla-
ture assures the ratification OF the
treaty and spoils Senator Germans
plans. 1t is now believed that at
least seven democrats in the Senate
approve the treaty, and many more
will probably be afraid to oppose it
in view OF the very general approval
Uf the Presidents course.
Even without the democratic votes.
the republicans In Congress are deter
mined that the administration shall
lie supported. Ii necessary the House
will send to the Senate Il joint reso-
luton authorizing the payment of
the ten millions to Panama and
giving the President the power to
couSs{uct the canal under the Spoon
er act. There is precedent for such
action in the Case Of the annexation
Uf Texas ana Hawaii. A joint reso-
luton passes by majority vote, and a
treaty requires two thirds majority.
