CANAL DISCUSSION.
Senator Morgan Thinks Two Canals
Will Be Needed.

Washington.-Th Senate spent four
hours Friday in discussing the Panama
canal emergency appropriation bill.
and when II adjourned the bill was still
under consideration. There were set
speeches by Mcssrs. Teller, Scott and
Morgan, and they We're followed by a
general debate in which all phases OF
the controversy were exploited, includ-
ing salaries. control of The Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
Legislation on the canal subject.
Scott and Morgan wanted canal on
The San Bias route.
Mr.. Allison. chairman of the com
mittee on appropriations. expressed
the opinion that Congress should take
up the question of salaries In connec-
tion with other canal legislation. He
also said that the status of the Pan
ANA railroad should be made the sub
ject of legislation.
Messrs. Teller. Scott and Morgan ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the con.
ditions in Panama, but all indicated Il
determination TO support the supply
measures necessary to secure the con.
struction of the canal as at present un.
dertaken.
Mr. Teller advocated n sea level ca
nal: Mr.. Scott spoke in support OF the
San Bias route as preferable to all
others, and Mr.. Morgan expressed the
opinion that before the Panama canal
Is completed another canal will be nee
essary TO do the business required.
A separate bill regulating the issu'
ance of bonds for the canal and plac-
ing them on the same basis as other
government bonds was passed without
debate

RECLAMATION WORK.
Enterprises in Hand to Reclaim t,soa,-
600 Acres Of Arid Land.

Washington.- secretary OF the
interior has recently approved two
new reclamation projects. One. which
will be partly in Texas and partly In
New Mexico. is called the Rio Grandc
project. the other. which will be
wholly In New Mexico. will be called
the Carlsbad project The two addi-
tional projects will bring the NUM-
Der OF reclamation schemes up to TWEEN
ty-four. or these eleven are well un-
der way. They provide for the recla-
nation of 1.3o3,600 acres of arid lands
at a cost of s37.02S,571. These are big
figures and they represent big projects
On June 80. 1905. the total cost OF
construction and engineering work per-
formed by the reclamation service. to-
gether with the administration ex-
pcnses. amounted to $5.462 .169. On
that date the reclamation fund had
reached a total of $2s,02S.571. 1t was
estimated at that time that the re-
ceipts for the fiscal years 1906-190S
would amount to $9.000.000. so that
the sum of money available for recla-
nation purposes up to the end of 1908
will be s37.02s.571
Since the work of reclamation began
a miles of main canals have been con
structed and "a miles of distributing
canals. as well as 1855 miles of bitches
and l47 bridges. Over $3.50, 900 cubic
yards of earth have been excavated
and three and one-half miles of tunnel
driven. The telephone lines installed
have measured $50 miles and the roads
built have covered 126 miles. II has
been necessary to erect fifty Offices
and other buildings. One cement mill
has been constructed. the product of
which already amounts to 10000 bar
rcls. Besides the cement manufac-
tured by the reclamation service, use
has been found for $4,000 additional
barrels of cement. which were pur.
chased in open market. Over 1850, 900
feet ID. NJ. of lumber have been sawed
for the work of construction and 1,750,-
600 feet B. NJ. In addition have been
purchased The concrete completed
amounts TO 10000 cubic yards, the pud-
ding done to 1900 cubic yards. and
the rip-rap completed to 1900 cubic
yards. and the paving to 10000 square
feet. The railroad iron used amounts
to 10000 pounds, the structural steel
to 250.000 pounds. the cast iron to 600.-
600 pounds. The sheet piling driven
has amounted to 10000 lineal
feet, the bearing piles to 10000 lineal
feet
These figures will give some idea of
the gigantic size of the enterprise
which the engineers of the reclamation
service have in hand in the reclama-
ton OF 1.303.G00 acres of arid land.

Distribution of Seeds.

The seed dealers of the country are
up in arms against the practice of the
government of making a free distribu-
ton of seeds each year. They claim.
with some show of reason, that the
practice is n restraint OF trade. 1t is
also pointed cut that the original inten-
tion was to distribute rare seeds OF
new varieties, which would be of bene.
fit to the farmer. AS 1t is now the
commonest of garden seeds are sent
out in the mail.
In theory the seed dealers are right.
inasmuch as 1t is no more the business
of the government to distribute free
seeds than it is to give away plows or
harvesters or sewing machines, but in
practice the results are so different as
to go far to justify the custom In the
first place, persons who seek equity
should do equity, and the seed dealers
do not come into court with clean
hands. In most countries in Europe
seeds are required to be treated in a
government laboratory and sold under
a guaranty of purity, while in this
country the adIfteration of seeds is a
common practice. Grass and clover
seeds are commonly mixed with more
valuable seeds, and often dead seeds,
sand and weed seeds are used to swell
the quantity of package. Some OF
the most troublesome weeds have been
widely introduced in this country by
unscrupulous dealers who sell them to
innocent purchasers under another
label. And SO if the Department of Ag-
riculture is unfairly competing with
the seed dealers by reducing the de-
mand for their seeds it is only another
instance of their own sins, like chick
ems, coming home TO roost. 1t is pity
that the wholesale adulterations that
prevail in other "branches of COM
merce," such as foods and drink, can
not be restricted in the same way.
The real remedy however, is for the
government to establish laboratories
for testing seeds, as is done abroad,
where the prime Importance of good
seed is recognized, and the quality OF
seed is a subject of governmental con-
troll. At these laboratories a small fee
is charged for testing and certifying
to the quality of seeds. The fee is paid
by the dealer. and the planter is usu-
ally allowed free REORGANIZATION If he
is not satisfied with the seeds when
purchased. Due precautions are taken
against substitution by the purchaser,
and the rights of the dealers are rig
orously enforced.
IL is likely, however, that any such
requirement would be vigorously re-
sented by the seed dealers as being sin
restraint of trade" that is to say, un-
constitutional in free America, where
the seller is generally free to swindle
the purchaser il he can. At all events
the custom of cultivating their CON
stituents by the free distribution of
garden seeds is too dear to the hearts
of congressman to be abolished without
a struggle. and If the seed dealers can.
not find a better remedy they had bet.
ter get elected to Congress themselves
and corner the market.-Leadvslle

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market was well supplied last week.
Trade was far from satisfactory, how
ever, and all classes of cattle are lower
than they We're week ago. Choice
grades are about 20 cents lower, while
common stun are fully quarter down
and IN some cases even more. Eastern
markets were all lower and reported
a very light demand, which was the
cause oil the dullness here Beef steers
were In good supply all week. Packers
bought literally during the first few
days, but later the demand was not so
good, as they were pretty well sup
piled. Best corn fed steers sold at
$500, one 1.700-pound North Park
grass steer sold at 5000. but he was
fancy and will be held for the show
next month Other steers sold UP to
$4.15. with bulk at 500 to s4.00. Cows
sold very well If good. but common
stun was dull. Corn feds went at s3.75
to $4.25, with bulk of the pretty good
grass cows at $2.35 to $500. and one
fancy cow at $3.50 and several punches
at $3.lO to s3.e5. Bulls sold about
steady all week with tops at $500.
Veals were little changed and the sup
ply light. Best brought $4.25.
Feeder and stocker trade was quiet.
Supply was liberal. but country de-
.mand somewhat limited and dealers
were slow 10 take hold as eastern mar
kets were dull and everything for
warded lost them money.
Best feeders sold mt $3.50. and bulk
went at s3.25 to $500. A light trade is
expected this week on account of II be.
ing Christmas week.
, Hog demand continues good and
more could have been used last week
Receipts We're fair. but not as heavy as
the week before. Prices dropped
about aSdime during the week. tops

( The sheep market was active every
day and prices little stronger at the
close than at the opening of the week.
About 1900 arrived and most of them
sold here. The demand is very good.

BANKER wALsH's CAREER.
Started Life as Newsboy and Made
Millions.

Chicago-John r. Walsh. whose
banks and railroad enterprises have
tumbled about his ears. is 6S years of
age and has lived in Chicago fifty-eight
years. His parents brought him from
Ireland when he was 10 years of age
and turned him loose to make his way
He began as 4 newsboy. saved his
money, opened news stand. which
eventually grew into the American
News Company. continued to save his
money, bought bank stock. and in 1882,
backed by men who had faith in his
business ability. he founded the Chi
cago National Bank.
He speedily learned the relation be-
tween banking and politics and reached
out for state and county and city funds
and got them. Five years later he
took over the Home Savings Bank.
Then he organized the Equitable Trust
Company and bought the Chicago Her
aid One year after selling the Her
aid he established the Chicago Chron-
.ic1e- This gave him a strong political
lever and he became a tremendous
financial and political power. He then
began buying up street railway and gas
systems and dabbling in railroads.
The Southern Indiana railroad, his
pet venture, was too heavy for one man
to carry and it broke his financial
back He had two opportunities to un-
load it at valuable premium.
Personally he is taciturn and little
given to appearing in public. He has
made and broken many men and built
up vast enterprises. His failures have
not shaken Chicago financial institu-
tions. On the contrary, they are
stronger thereby.
Z, To-day thousands lined up and drew
their money. Nearly $3,000.000 was
paid out. Every grade of humanity
was in the lines, from the millionaire
TO the ragged newsboy.
Payment was made in gold, and as
many of the depositors were women.
they Immediately sought secluded cor
ners to conceal their money One
woman, who seemed much perplexed,
admitted that in her excitement and
haste to get to the bank she had for
gotten TO put on her stockings and had
no place to carry her wealth.
