We commend this work and trust that

1T Is estimated by the engineers that
It will take sixty work trains a day six
years to remove the earth and rock
that must be taken out Of Culebra cut"
This statement, made recently III
Kansas Cit. Mo-. by j. l.. BristOw.
gives O1n idea Of the vast amount Of
work yet to be done on the Panama ca
nal. says the Kansas City Star.
Il can't talk any politics." Mr.. Bris-
tow said when asked about some polit-
ical matters. Il am most interested
now in the Panama canal. The task
the government has there Is immense.
The engineers estimate the work can
be done. in ten years, and that means
fast and hard work. They are putting
in m additional steam shovel outfit at
the rate Of about each month and
using three Of the old digging machines
that the French had there. The soil is
loose, and when there Is a heavy rain
at night part Of the bank comes down
and often buries part of the machinery
as we'll as cars.
There are about 5000 men working
there now, and there will be more as
the work progresses. Most Of the la
bOrerS there are jamaica negroes, but
the men who direct the work are most
~ Americans.
1.-THE Panama railroad Is to be double
tracked. People in the gulf port cities
are anxious that the Panama railroad
be used to carry on as much us posi-
bic Of the traffic that the canal will ul.
timately carry. They want to build up
the business by way of Panama, and
the government IL disposed to give
them n chance. though the railroad has
to be used In connection with the canal
work. The great mass of earth taken
out Of Culebra cut has to be taken
somewhere, and some of It may have
to be hauled us much as twenty miles.
There Is One problem the engineers
will have to settle by experience as the
cut Is made deeper - that Is, what
method of hauling the dirt Is best.
whether to run the loaded cars ten or
fifteen miles down hill by gravity and
push the cars back, or haul them two
miles up Il heavy grade. There are a
good many interesting engineering
questions that enter into this big task"

Local. Correspondent Thinks
Madison Should Reach for the
CeIton Railroad.

To the Editor The more the Cotton
railroad is talked about the more senti-
ment is favorable to scuring the road,
by citizens of Madison, even to the vot-
ine OF a bonus | have talked with
number of our people and in nearly
every case they expressed themselves as
favorable to forwarding some plan
whereby the demand asked for by the
company may be met. so that the city
of Madison would have two railroads
instead of one believe it is absolute
ly necessary for the future welfare OF
the city that successful effort should
be made to induce the promoters OF the
Cotton road TO run its line into the city.
We had better nave it come here than
have it go to the east or south OF us.
The road will surely be extended out of
Cotton. 1t will either go west from
Cotton through the south part of the
county or north and cross the Milwau-
kee at or near Wentworth. In either
case it would be severe blow to Madi-
son from which it would take perhaps
Years to recover
The argument set up by some, that If
we got the road there would be small
towns ON either side of Madi son, which
would hurt the trade of the city, is un-
tenable, and has nothing to do with
getting the road here We had better
have the road run into Madison and
have the towns on either side than to
have the road go to the east of us and
have the towns anyway. The road will
be built and the towns will spring up
Shall we have the road and the towns
or shall we have the towns and not the
road?

man from the south part of the county
the other day and what / could gather

the proposed line would generally do

tion would be encountered.
There is also a possibility that the
road may extend two lines out from
Cotton. one west through Clarno town
ship and one north through Wentworth
into Brookings county and on to
Watertown, and if that is done we will
wake up some morning and find our
selves left out in the cold.

when we must act, and what we do
must be done within the next few
months or else we will miss a chance

have again.

even if it does cost something Citizen.

STATE UNIVERSITY.
Probability That state Supt.
Nash Will Make Application
for the Presidency.

Canton dispatch, 10: 1t has become
practically certainty that Prof. q. w.
Nash, present state superintendent of
public instruction, is to be candidate
for the presidency of the University of
South Dakota TO slcceed President Gar
rett Droppres, whose resignation takes
effect the first of next June. While
nothing authentic has been obtained
from Prof. Nash himself, some of his
closest friends admit that, while he has
not fromally announced himself AS a
candidate, ne would not refuse the APP
pointment if it were ten Tered him.
1t is also conceded that if Prof. Nash
will permit himself to become candi-
date his chances for appointment would
be better than those of any other avail
able man, and for several reasons. The
most noteworthy of these is the fact OF
his exceptionally fine qualifications for
the position, which are everywhere rec
ugnized. His work as state supreinten
dent has shown him to be most pow
erful o1ganlzer, and witnall, man who
possesses in high degree the practical
dDllllitS u6Su6d ~ lOlNdlu tlC lbbCiS SSto
of the university even in advance of its
present high standard. His work in
his present position has amounted to al
most complete reorganization of the
educational system of the state, and it
is believed that he would accomplish
fully as much in the presidential chair
of the state university.
He is South Dakota boy, born and
bred, and with the exception OF q post
graduate course at the University of
Leipsig, Germany, and year or two
at the University of Minnesota, he is
entirely South Dakota educated, which
fact is in his favor, since it has ranked
in the vanity of prominent educators in
this state Tor many years that South
Dakota itself should have more recogni-
tion in the appointments at the state
institutions of learning.
One thing that has led to the suspi-
cion that Prof Nash either intends to
or has already made application for the
presidency Of the state university with

charge OF his father newspaper proper
ty in this city at the expiration Of his
present term of state superintendent,
having recently expressed it as his set
tied purpose to follow educational work
as permanent occupation.
In the event of Prof. Nash S aprOint-
ment to the university vacancy it would
become necessary for him 10 resign the
Office of state superintendent because
his term does not expire until two years
from the beginning of the present year,
but he could we'll afford 10 do this in
view of the fact that the salary of the

dency is $50
