LET WALLACE GO.
Resignation of the Canal En-
gineer Has Been Accepted.
He Was Willing to Serve Two
Months Longer.
PRESIDENT ANNOYED.
He Doesn't Like the Way His APP
p0intee Has Acted.
The Place Has Already Been
Offered to Another.
PRESIDENT ANNOYED.

oyster Bay, N Y, June 29.-The
resignation of Chief Engineer Wallace
Of the Isthmian canal commission has
been accepted. The resignation was
rendered at a conference in New York
between Mr.. Wallace and Secretary
Taft. Mr. Wallace received while in
Panama an offer of position with
great corporation, the name of which
is withheld, at a salary of $4,000 per
annum. His salary with the Panama
canal commission and as chief engi-
neer of the canal was $685. 900 a year.
Wien he told Secretary Taft that he
desired to accept the offer which had
been rendered him, the secretary ex-
pressed to Mr.. Wallace his feeling in
the matter, but he accepted his resig-
nation after a conference with the
president at Boston, to take effect i'm
mediately.
Engineer Wallace suggested to Sec
rotary Taft that he would remain with
the commission two months longer.
but after considering the matter
President Roosevelt instructed Secre-
tary Taft to accept the resignation at
once. There is no concealment by the
administration of its feeling regarding
Mr.. Wallace's tender at this time of
his resignation. 1t is felt that he has
not acted fairly to the government in
accepting comparatively recently the
responsibility of directing the canal
construction and now offering his
resignation at a time which is regard
ed as crucial in the work of the canal.
It is said that he not only accepted
the position as chief engineer, but
sought it and expressed his entire
satisfaction with the salary given to
him by the government
It has not been definitely decided
who Mr.. Wailace's successor will be,
although an announcement of his ap-
pointment may be expected within a
day or two. The president and Secre-
tary Taft have made a tender of the
place to a distinguished constructing
engineer but his name for the present
is withheld.

Early Potatoes.

Last spring an experimenter placed
a few pecks Of potatoes. strong vigor-
Gus ones, on shelves in the windows
where the sun could shine all day
long on them. AS soon as strong
green sprouts were we'll started, these
potatoes were put into warm, we'll
prepared soil, and We're up in no time,
and long before there were early po-
tatoes on the market, this family
was enjoying nice, big ones from their
own garden and furnishing now and
then most welcome surprise to some
of their neighbors. This was done for
very early ones. Not quite as good
results can be had, however, by simply
working up some we'll MANFRED
ground early, and planting, not too
deep, some strong, vigorous seed of
some of the very early varieties. Ere
quent surface tillage will do the rest.
In planting very early care must be
taken not to plant deep, as the soil
is apt to be colder farther down.
Planting too early when the soil is
still cold, will frequently not give as
early potatoes as a little later planting
in we'll warmed soil.

railroad is catalog of "cant's." Train
men employed by that corporation are
warned in the rules of the operating
department that they must not visit
any place where liquor is sold as a
beverage under penalty Of dismissal.
They can not go to race tracks, music
halls or dances where beer is served.
They are barred from gambling houses
and all places of an immoral character.

men who visited dance hall and took
an incidental drink were promptly dis

ployed by the railway waited on the
mana cement with a plea for their re-
instatement. The request was prompt
ly refused and the committee Informed
that the only way to hold job on the
Alton. is to conform as rigidly to the
moral requirements of the rules as to the
train signals along the line.
The Alton gives it's train operatives
their choice between questionable re-
sorts and job on the Alton road, not
because 1t is in the missionary field,
but because it is in the transportation
business. In the opinion Of it's owners
and directors these rules are required
for the safer operations of its trains.
