The construction of the Pan
anna canal would have been an
appalling undertaking a century
ago, or even less. In the early
history of railroad grading the
excavation was done with shov-
ell and wheelbarrow. An army
of men was required to do a
small amount of work. In the
excavation of the Panama canal,
machines will be used which
will do the work of a thousand
men, and these machines can be
operated by half dozen men.
No wonder the big undertakings
become small things in this age
of mind and machinery.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AM
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2 1904

A comparison Of the state
ments Of the First National
bank of this city, published in
the Inter-Ocean September 10th
and that published last week
will show the enormous wealth
brought into the county by the
crop which is largely marketed
during the interval indicated by
the reports. The Individual
deposits subject to check in the
first report was 500. 514; in the
report last week it was 220.820
an increase in two months Of
$124, 3O6. In the same period
the amount due to other banks
state and national, which in fact
represents money deposited in
the First National Of this city,
increased from 1884 to $50, 931,
a gain of $52,159 So that the
increase indicated by the total
deposits in these two months
is l76, 460. Add to this the enor-
NOUS amount of debts paid by
the farmers out of money with
drawn by check during these
two months, which are the
principal debt paying months of
the year, and some vague idea
may be obtained of the value of
the crops of this county. But
in forming this estimate it must
be remembered that there are
fourteen banks in the county,
all of which show a gain in pro-
portion to that indicated by the
above figures.

One of the most meritorious
endorsements that has come to
any man in the state recently is
the unsolicited endorsement of
Hon. Geo. w. H. Davis of this
county for speaker Of the house
of representatives by many of
the leading republican journals
of the state. It is sort Of de-
mand from them because of the
able record made by Mr.. Davis
in the past. He desires to have
it known that if the honor
comes it must come unsought on
his part. He was elected to
serve the people of this county
and incidentally the people Of
the state, and he believes that he
can do that better on the floor of
the house than as it's presiding
officer. But if the people of the
state tender him the position,
unsolicited it could not easily be
refused. Mr.. Davis would honor
his county and the state by his
elevation, and the people of this
county can we'll afford to sacri-
flee some Of the influence he
would have on legislation 70,
the greater influence he would
have in the speakers chair.

In the death of Col. Brecken-
ridge of Kentucky, one of the
most brilliant intellects of the
century passes to the great UNI
known. Yet when death claim
ed the eloquent southerner, there
were few outside his personal
friends to weep at his bier. The
reason is clear. A few years
ago, while one Of the promin-
ment democrats in the lower
house of congress, the nation
was scandalized by the Pollard
Breckenridge case, and Breckin-
rigde retired to private life.
In that notorious scandal the
political life of a promising man
was snuffed out. He died in
comparative obsculity. 1t ought
to establish the fat that the
American people do not look
lightly upon the private conduct
of it's public men. Breckenridge
will be remembered as the man
who gave Speaker Reed the title
of Gar.

Mining Notes.

Another big strike is reported in the
Doane Rambler, the oldest copper mine
in Wyoming. In running crosscut
from a tunnel 125 feet from the old
shaft, breast of solid copper ore four
feet in width was encountered. Only
one wall was found, which indicates
that the vein is much wider than four
feet. 1t is estimated that if the ore
runs 10 per cent copper, which is very
low for Rambler ore, there is now in
sight 100000 pounds of copper, val
ued at 100000.
An important strike was made in the
lower workings of the Cyclone mine,
six miles east of Baker City, Ore. In
a drift from the 400 foot level the min
ers broke int a body of ore two feet
in width that runs over 1920 per ton.

A quantity of powder and dynamite,
