W. W. JERMAINE writing to the
Minneapolis Journal from Wash
ington points out that federal aid
for drainage, involving an i'm
mense outlay, even though that
outlay be but temporary can be
achieved only by long campaign
of education. Here is a big work
for the state drainage league to
do, but more important at the
present is it for Minnesota itself
to make adequate provision for
drainage and here is a greater
and a more pressing work for
the state drainage league.

racking cough which follows measles
and leaves so many children with weak
lungs unless properly treated.

Sea Level Canal.

! 0cd A0VcA Nd11dls
The decision of the Panama
Canal commission to uild a sea
level canal, if adhered to, will
give the best possible waterway
between the Atlantic and the
Pacific oceans.
The two great difficulties to be
overcome in the construction of
the canal, outside of sanitation
which is rapidly being improved,
are the tremendous excavation
through the mountains and the
control of the sudden floods of
the Charges river. The sea level
plan, instead of locks. will re-
quire an additional expense of
nearly one hundred millions and
three or four years more time
but it Will give the safest and
speediest canal and also make it
possible to so harness the
Charges river as to furnish all
the electric power needed for
lighting and operating the canal
along it's entire length including
the cities of Panama and Colon.
The sea level plan will probab-
ly prevail in the end and in not
more than IL years America will
be operating the greatest and
most profitable canal in the
world.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Dec. 19.-Tnere was no
iurtner trace in the stock market to-

spirit in the market and many St.iK-
.ag advances were recorded. although

backbone of the speculation and was
pushed up by seemingly endless buy
.ng to a new record price. The brok
rs employed in this buying made All
occasion for ruElors that the princi-
pal competitive tranS-continental m
terest was seeking effective repreSen
tation in Union Pacific. There was
sharp advances in the northwestern
Pacifics. For the most part the days
movements were elsewhere than IN

new purchasers seemed to arouse
apprehension that the competition in

cred TO be ended A sharp break re-
suited. The marking up of Amalea-
mated Copper To par again had a
strengthening effect on the general list.
Adverse factors which were feared
failed to make their appearance and
the speculation was thus encouraged
to push its efforts. Money was quot
ably easier both on call and on time,

able to the approach of the holiday

although the proposition tc Close the

The sharp break in Peoples Gas was
attributed by rumor to liquidation
