The building of the Panama canal is
not only very big project but il is also
without precedent in the line of engi-
neering and construction. To be sure
there have been other important canals
cut. notably the Suez canal, waterway
of great utility to commerce, but it
presented nothing in way of engineering
problems to compare with those of the
Panama canal. 1t is simply a long,
wide deep ship channel through fiat
country. The problems OF the canal
across the isthmus from Colon to Pan
anna must be worked out as the work
progresses. 1t is not an easy proposition
to get just the right men to do the best
work in the premises The present
commission is deemed to be too large
for the work in hand. The President
Is responsible for the tremendous job
and suggests that the commission
should consist of five or preferably of
three members, whose respective duties,
powers and salaries should be assigned
to them by the President, and who
should be placed under the member of
the cabinet whom the President desires,
and that of these men the one appoint
ed as administrator of the canal zone

Aff4irs in Russia are in very bad way
In all parts of the immense empire.
The people suff5r from a tremendous
burden of taxation. Industrial cond:-
tons are unsatisfactory, poverty and
suffering are wide spread and the iron
heel of despotism presses hard upon the
necks of the great mass of subjects of
the beauratic government. The war in
the East has added to the almost unbear-
able hardships, increased discomfort and
inspired the spirit OF revolution. The
leaders of striking workmen respectfully
asked for sp audience with the Car.
This was denied and the leaden missile
OF death was given them instead. Peace
was secured at the capital by drastic
measures, the shooting down of men,
women and children 10 the streets. This
course will be repeated IL necessary and
thus for the time being the movement is
crushed, but time of reckoning is con
ilg for the Russian autOcracy and it ma
not be at day far in the future.

The Waterville Sentinel brags because
Mayor Davis refunded portion OF that
city's debt, selling SO per cent bonds
at Sl02; whereat the Waterville Mail
states that some years ago, before Mr..
Davis was mayor, 81 per cent bonds
readily sold for $105 % to $l07 This
credit is all right for Waterville, but
Skowhegan secured money in 1903 and
1904 to be used in building bridges by
selling 8 per cent paper at par. This Is
considerably better than Waterville's
best figures.

Pronounced Guilty.

Guilty of murder in the first degre
was the verdict returned, Tuesday nigh,
against Charles l.. Tucker, who has been
on trial since January l, for the death OF
Miss Mabel Page, in her fathers home
in Weston, on the 81 at of last March.
The announcement of the finding OF
the jury which was made at 10 10 O'Clock
Tuesday night, was followed by one OF
the most remarkable scenes witnessed in
Massachusetts courtroom for many
years. Tucker collapsed utterly in thu
prisoners cage when the foreman utter
ed the fatal words, being completely
overcome by a verdict which had appar-
emily seemed to him an impossibility.
He was led from the court room across
the street to the jail in an exhausted con
dtion, and when he was once more lock-
ed in his cell, he broke down so utterly
that physician was sent for. Stimu-
lants were administered and he revived
somewhat. Mrs Albert j. Tucker, the
mother OF the prisoner, was spared the
anguish OF listening to her sons fate.
AT the suggestion OF one of the council
for the defence, she lefC the court ROOM
before the jury returned for the lasl
time. She WAS almost overwhelmed on
learning the news.

The suggestion made in this col,
umn last week relative to making
an effort TO induce the railroad
company to cooperate with the
city in running an excursion into
Condor when the new railroad is
completed is meeting with favor on
ell hands. City officials, officers of
the commercial club and business
men generally endorse the plan
and believe such an occasiop can
be made of great benefit to the en-
tire community IN bringing in a
desirable class Of excursionists TO
take first peep at the wonderful
resources Of Gillian county, Only
a few days ago the little town of
Echo, in Umatilla county, gave its
annual picnic and the railroad peo.
pie not only gave a cheap eXcur-
sion rate over their lines for the
occasion but in addition to this
they took out from Portland two
cars loaded with business men and
prominent visitors as the guests of
the railroad company. A day was
spent at the Echo picnic and an
other day was devoted to giving
the guests drive through the
wheat farms, alfalfa fields and
stock ranches OF the Butter creek
valley in order to give them an in
sight into the possibilities and re.
sources of that portion of the In
land Empire. Condor should do
as we'll as Echo has done and it
can if its people will take hold and
cooperate in working up a cele-
bration.
