CANAL WILL BE EUlLT.
So Says tho President at jacksonville,
Florida.

Jacksonville. Fla.-The reception to
President Roosevelt Saturday was n
hearty one. Thousands thronged the
streets on the line OF march and the
President showed In his manner his
appreciation of the good will that was
manifested on every side. In his ad.
dress he said:
Here in Florida. the first OF the
Gulf states which have visited upon
this trip. l wish to say n special word
about the Panama canal. believe
that the canal will be of great benefit
10 all our people, but most of all to
the states of the South Atlantic, the
Gulf and the Pacific slope.
when completed the canal will
stand as n monument to this nation;
for 1t will be the greatest engineering
feat ever accomplished in the world. II
will be n good thing for the world rs n
whole, and for the people OF the 18th.
mus and the the northern portions OF
South America in particular. Because
OF our especial interest in 1t, and be.
cause of the position we occupy on this
hemisphere, 1t is matter OF special
pride TO us that our nation. the Ameri-
can nation. should have undertaken the
performance of this world duty.
"A body OF the most eminent engi-
neers In the world, both Americans
and foreigners. has been summoned to
advise as to the exact type OF canal
which should be built. At no distant
date hope to be able to announce
what their advice is, and also the ac-
| ton taken upon their advice. Mean
while the work is already well under
way, and has advanced sufficiently far
to enable me to announce with Ger.
1 m, r.
| plished. and probably at rather less ex.
| pense than was anticipated.
'' But upon the last point, as well as
upon the, question OF time, no positive
statement can be made until the re.
port OF the commission OF engineers as
to the exact type of canal has been re.
ceived. The work Is as difficult as Il
Is important; and 1t is Of course newt.
able that from time to time difficulties
Will occur and checks be encountered
No check that may come will be OF
more than trivial and passing conse
quences. will infict any permanent
damage. or cause any serious delay
The work can be done. is being done
and Will be done. What has already
been accomplished is guaranty as Ia
the future.
"The veterans of the Civil War who
are here present will tell you that the
very rear OF an army. even when Il II
victorious. is apt to look and behave as
II the victory were defeat. And tus,
the same thing is true in any great en-
terprise In civil life; there are alway,
weaklings who get trampled down Of
lose heart. and there are always peo
pie who listen to their complaints
They amount to nothing one way o
the other, 30 far az achieving result,
Is concerned: and their complaints
ana Outcries need never detain u.s."

Cen. Fitz John Porter. Statue.

During the most tense period oi
expectation and speculation us to the
outcome of the peace negotiations be
tween the Russians and The Japan
ese. the final touches to monument
commemorative of exploits in war. El'
most escaped notice in Portsmouth.
On Aug. "a the last one OF the pan
els for the colossal statue of Gen.
Fitz John Porter unveiled July /,
1904. was placed in the pedestal. The
panel is OF bronze, 6 feet by 4, rep
reseutine the emeny's position from
the runaway balloon and portrays
one of the most thrilling incidents OF
the civil conflict.
Gen McClellan's army was beseig-
ing Yorktown. Prof E. T. C. Loew
of the engineering corps. n practiced
aeronaut and a great believer in the
use OF balloons for observation pur-
poses In war. had made n number OF
ascensions, on many of his trips be
ing accompanied by Gen. Porter. 1t
takes practice and experience to en-
able one TO readily make out the
topography OF a country from a great
height in the air.
The balloon was held by silk cord
or rope and was usually sent up n
distance of about $500 feet
Porter had become an expert as an
observationist. but knew little OF the
practical management of the balloon.
About O'Clock In the morning OF
April IL. 1869. Porter decided to make
an observation. and jumped into the
car. The men were paying out the
rops IS usual. when suddenly II snap
ped and the balloon was free. wlth
the general the sole occupant. iie
appeared over the edge OF the car
waving his hands Practically.
open the valye," shouted Prof.
Loew. Climb TO the netting and
reach the valve ropo.'
Porter heard and understood. He
climbed up the netting. but was un.
able to reach the cord. which was
tossed around BY the wind. Then he
descended to the floor of the car
again. uuslung his field glass and cool.
iy proceeded TO take observations.
This attitude OF soldiery indiner-
cncc to his own peril. this de;ermin.
alton to make the most OF his oppor.
tuai;y is the psychological moment
that the sculptor. James Z. Kelly. has
selected for his work. The incident
IS historic. and everything connected
with It's portrayal In bronze is depict
ed with that marvellous fidelity to min
ute details for which. Mr.. Kelly Is
noted
Mr.. Kelly had several conversations
with Gen. Porter, and also with Prof
Loew. concerning the uniform worn
by the general on that occasion. The
field glass used in making his obser
vations and everything that occurred

Tree Planting Experiments.

The State Agricultural College of
Colorado is entering upon an expert
ment in tree planting which promises
TO be OF incalculablc value 10 the
state. The following will explain the
purpose and plan:
To determine the adaptability OF
these two species as utility trees to
the different localities In this state
and 10 obtain data for guidance OF tree
planters.
To encourage and educate the public
in the matter of tree planting for
posts. poles and fuel by means of desn-
onstration planting.
The trees selected are the hardy or
western catalpa and the black locust.
They are chosen because OF their gen.
eral utility qualities. viz: Ease of es.
tablishing. hardness, rapid growth,
great durability when In contact with
| the soil and fair value as fuel.
A plantation of 300 trees OF each spe-
cies is to be established in each of
twenty representative localities in the
state.
Each plantation is to be put in
charge of some responsible person,
who shall volunteer to furnish the
ground. set the trees out, irrigate and
cultivate them according to instruc.
| t!ons.
The experiment station is to furnish
the trees free Of expense to the person
In charge. to supervise the planting OF
the trees, and to leave the plantation
entirely in the possession of the owner
of the ground at the end OF ten years
Trees Of both species will be planted
in rows six feet apart, with the trees
four feet apart in the rows. thus GOV
vering about one-third OF an acre. The
rows to extend usually north and south
and the area covered to be not more
than twice as long as broad; wind
brake is to be used when necessary.
The points selected are: Fort Collins
Longmont, Greeley. wheatridge. Cope
Brighton. Parker, Cheyenne Wells. Pu
eblo. Rocky Ford. Amity. Trinidad
Canon City. Rife. Gypsum. Fruita
Delta. Montrose. Monte Vista and Ho
Sulphur Springs.
Persons desiring to volunteer in TAX
ing up the experiment with the stat,
can write to Professor w. Paddock

VIM. A. Neale-Secretary.
Messrs. Aug. and Jose Celaya

their reelection to the manage
ment of the road is a fitting trib-
ute to their ability, and that the

good hands. There will be no
change in the conduct of the road
at present, although it is rumored
that extensive improvements are
in contemplation in the near future.

Touched Wharf For First Time.

For the first time the Manteo
anchored at the wharf at Point Isa-
bel today. Heretofore she has only
been able to cross the bar and
anchor about three miles out, where
the crew could gaze with longing
eye in the direction of the Point,
ard patiently wait for the lighters
TO come out and relieve the vessel
Of its cargo. The approach to the
wharf was made possible by the
dredging of the channel inside the
bar which has just been completed.
Some day may see vessels of larger
draft than the Manteo, anchored
at the Point. This event would
cause much rejoicing at Browns
vile as well as at Point Isabel, and
may be one Of the things the not
distant future may bring forth.
Not only is today the first time
the Manteo ever tied up At the T
head at Point Isabel, but it is the
first time a steamboat or Morgan
liner has ever reached that portion
of the bav. The ease with which
this was accomplished leads one TO
believe that with the expenditure of
a comparatively small sum, a harbor
could be made at the Point where
all classes of vessels could enter,
and a water rate be established
that would be of great value to this
section. The Manteo enjoys the
proud distinction of being the first
steamer to rub her nose against the
Isabel wharf, and THE HERALD
hopes that not only the Manteo
but other vessels of like AID even
heavier draft may soon make reg
ular visits 20 Point Isabel.
