titions for Saloon Licenses Were
Laid Over-Other Matters.

The city council neld a special ses-
sion Monday afternoon to consider
the substitute for the electric rail-
way franchise ordinance asked for by
Jesse H. Rose and associates. The
matter was gone over at great
length, and it was thought that all
the details were understood and
agreed upon, but at the regular
meeting Monday evening long and
tedious discussion was had over the
measure, many of the provisions of
which were strongly opposed by
COuncilmen Marsh and Linbarger,
who stood together as minority.
Mr.. Marsh's contention was based
on the grounds Of irregularity and
illegally of proceedings, he claim
ing that substitute ordinance could
not be presented, read the first, Sec
ond and third time and passed on the
same evening. The city attorney
decided the matter to the satisfac-
ton of the mayor and the remainder
of the council, however, by stating
that adjudicated cases were on rec
ord establishing a precedent which
made the proceedings regular and
legal.
The ordinance was gone over sec
ton by section. and changed in many
particulars. 1t was finally adopted,
Mr.. Marsh and Mr.. Linbarger voting
against the adoption.
The following resolution was pre-
scented and read, but was merely

The Recital Success.
A Herr Professor" attending a
musical in western city, less than
two decades ago, declared with Ger
man frankness that it was "no goot
at all, yust Yankee Doodle music. +"
The most strenuous advocate of the
classical could have found no such
fault with the program rendered on
last Thursday evening at Thomp-
sons music store by the pupils of
Mrs. John T. Hedges, assisted by
Miss Linnie Rowe, vocalist. The
program rendered was most excel
lent The numbers had been care
fully chosen from the best COM
posers and were rendered in a man
ner that evidenced careful and con-
scientious training on the part of the
teacher, and patient work on the
part of the pupil. Where all did
so we'll it would be hardly just to
discriminate, and we only make
special mention of little Miss Net
tina StrObach. whose performance
was warmly applauded; she did
so much and was so small. Miss
Rowe sang in very pleasing man
ner and the audience expressed their
appreciation in an enthusiastic en-
core. Mrs. Hedges reputation as a
capable and thorough piano teacher
is well established in our city.

AN OFFICIAL GAZETTE
ITS ESTABLISHMENT TO BE CON-
sIDERED BY KEEP COMMISSION.

An official gazette for the administration
is strongly limited at in the questions asked
OF heads of departments by the depart
mental committee Of inquiry. and 1t is be-
lieved to be the intention of the committee
to recommend the establishment of such a
publication to President Roosevelt.
Whether he can establish such a publica-
ton without an act of Congress cannot
be. learned. but it is supposed that he has
that power.
The questions asked OF each head Of de-
partment on this subject were these:
IF the government published an official
gazette, containing executive orders. state
ments of changes of organization or per-
sonnet, advertisements Of all government
contracts, notice of civil service exami-
nations, legal notices not required to be
published locally. and reports Of important
work begun, in progress or completed by
any department, are there any other mat
tiers connected with the work of your de-
partnent which should be published in such
gazette?
us there anything In the nature OF an
official gazette now published. relating ex-
clusively to the work in your department,
or any bureau or division thereof? If so.
under what authority of law is the same
publisAed?'
Official gazettes are products of most of
the European governments, but there has
never been anything of that kind in this
country. It has been under adyisement
heretofore. but nothing has ever been done.
The new suggestion will be watched with
interest.
Such a publication would have to be
pretty bulky affair. If 1t covered all the
matter proposed In the line of inquiry. It
would cover good many pages Of news
paper size each day. There is no publica-
ton of that nature now, although the
publication that 1t calls Treasury Deci-
sions." 1t comes out each Thursday and
contains all decisions relating to tho tariff.

History of the Canal.

The Sault Ste. Marie ship canal, the fif
tieth anniversary of the opening of which
was celebrated today. was completed by
the state of Michigan in 1855. This ship
channel, the connecting link between Lake
Superior and the lower lakes, was trans
ferred to the United States government In
1870. Since the government took charge OF
the waterway vast improvements have been
undertaken, the canal having been widened
and deepened several times.
1t Is now considered the BUSIEST Of the
worlds artificial waterways. In 1883 the
lock erected by the state was destroyed by
excavation for the present Poe lock, which
Is the largest in the world. 1t Is 500 feet
long and 100 feet wide. with water depth
of % feet on the stills.
The Weitzel lock, which was made neces-
sary by the increased traffic and Is still in
operation, Is 515 feet long. The traffic by
way of the 500 canals, American and Cana
dian. during 1904 was 32,OO0.0O0 net tons.
q 600 900 of which was through the Ameri-
can canal The traffic of the Suez canal in
1904 was 12.0OO.0OO net tons.
The 500 canal has developed the vast min
eral wealth of the Lake Superior region and
has furnished cheap and convenient out
let for the transportation of grain, flour
and other products to the east and to Eu-
rope. 1t has helped to build up great In
dustrial centers at Detroit Cleveland and
greatest iron and steel center in the world.
and has contributed materially toward CIV
ing the United STATES primacy in the pro-
duction of iron, steel and copper. Another
lock must be built and the ship canal above
the lock must be widened because of the
great development of the ore and grain
traffic of the northwest.
