Will Complete Canal In Ten Years.

WASHINGTON, October 24.-Isham
Randolph, a member of the board OF
consulting engineers for the Panama
canal. has written a letter to Zina II.
Carter. president of the sanitary dis.
trict OF Chicago, in which he says he
expects the canal to be completed be-
fore 1915. When the equipment is on
hand and the organization perfected,
he says at $4,000 men will be required
on the canal.
Much of the present labor is worth.
less because the demand is larger
than the supply. The application OF
the eight'hour system to the canal he
regards as a lamentable mistake that
will add about % per cent. to the cost
OF the labor.

witness. He is employed by the Mutual

sending out these reports. Mr.. Smith
had vised a number of vouchers for
the payment of this work, and these
aggregated $1,000 with more bills to

Mr.. Smith wrote these reports and
submitted them to Allen Forman, who
owns the Telegraphic News Bureau,

Life for the service. These dispatches
were SEM out to about 100 papers, but
Mr.. Smith did not know whether the
papers were paid for inserting them.

A BOOST FOR MONTANA.

Eastern newspapers frequently Civ
Montana an undesirable a advertise
ment by making this state a seem
of lawlessness or ''wild and woolly'
escapades, but once in awhile there
appears an article that is a valuabl,
boost for the Treasure State. A writer
in the St. Paul News, whose data are
somewhat old, recently gave Montans
the following send-off:
One hundred and forty-6ve thousand
square miles of territory, occupied by
100000 people, who produce and ex.
port &C, 0 900 every year. besides
what Is consumed at home! That is q
brief statement of Montana. 1t Is be.
yond doubt the greatest production
per capita of any commonwealth in
the union.
These facts show that Montana is a
state of vast possibilities. The popu.
lation amounts to but two persons to
the square mile, and there is room
and opportunity for millions of enter
prising and energetic home.makers,
who will find abundau opportunity
for their energies, with certain and
large returns for their investments and
labor.
Montana has been known as the
Treasure State" from its great pro.
duction of precious metals, which has
amounted to 81, 200, OOO, 900. The min
eral development of the state has
hardly commenced, and the production
In future will be still greater. How.
ever, these figures should not over
shadow the resources Of Montana in
other directions. The stock, wool,
agricultural and horticultural resour-
ces OF the state bid fair in the neal
future to O%vershadow the mineral pro-
duction. Under the inspiration of the
national irrigation act, these esource
will be developed in q larger degree
than ever the phenomenal increase of
development of the mineral resources.
The facts and figures regarding the
stock, wool, agricultural and horti-
cultural interests of Montana will
prove q surprise to the people who
have no intimate acquaintance with
the conditions. With a population of
q little over q quarter of a million
people, according to official reports
there were in the state in March, 1904,
$50, 960 head OF cattle, valued by the
assessors at Sl5, 582. 922. There were
at the came time Abs, 765 sheep, val.
ued at 90, 435, 594. There were 1872 1928
head Of horses, valued at "a, 709, 56l.
During the year 1908 the last for
which official reports have been com
pleted the production of metals am
ouuted to $50. 276, 365. Reports SO far
received and careful estimates for the
year 1904 show that the production
reached s54, $40, 1856.
During the year 1904 the shipments
of cattle from Montana were 268. 775
head, valued at a low estimate at
. ,OO7, l25. Number of horses shipped.
1884, valued at s949, 500.
The wool clip of the state this year
will be over 81, OOO, 900 pounds, which
will sell for an average OF q cents per
pound, making an income of IS, 140,-
600. This without counting the large
shipments OF mutton sheep to Chicago
and the Pacific coast markets.
