CANAL SCANDAL
IS THREATENED
Continued. from First Page.

the canal. It will be stipulated that
reports must be made to this committee
each month, furnishing all figures and
items Of expense. These reports will
be made public.
Under the Spooner act, which created
the existing canal commission and au-
thorized the work of construction to
begin, $l35,000,000 was appropriated, to
be raised by the sale of bonds, if neces-
sary, to complete the canal, in addition
to the $10,000,000 appropriated for i'm
mediate use. This fixed the total cost
Of construction at $l45, 100000.
The Old Estimate
The appropriation was based on the
mission and upon figures furnished by
French engineers.
The French began work on a purely
commercial canal. 1t was intended to
have single locks and be but twenty
eight feet deep. This depth was in
creased to thirty-fve feet before the
Spooner act passed, but the single locks
remained.
It was subsequently determined that
double locks must be substituted for
single locks. In fact, it is now pro-
posed to have locks 1000 feet long and
100 feet wide.
The advisory board now suggests that
the canal should be forty five feet deep
and the width be correspondingly in
creased. These suggestions, made neces-
sary by the constantly growing size of
vessels used in commerce and war,
would have materially increased the
final cost Of the canal beyond the $145,-
100000 originally appropriated by con-
gress in the Spooner act.
Hot Fight Over Type.
There promises to be the hottest kind
Of fight in congress over the question
of the type Of a canal to be constructed.
Whatever may be the recommended
tion Of the president, based upon views
expressed by the board Of consulting
engineers and the isthmian canal com
mission. advocates of a sea-level type
and lock type will engage in a battle
royal which is calculated to please only
those interests charged by Secretary
Taft and Chairman Shonts with work
ing to prevent the waterway.
| Senator Morgan Of Alabama has come
to WASHINGTON still bitter over the fail
ure of the government to adopt the
Nicaragua route and still pessimistic
over the possibility of the construction
of the canal at Panama, but prepared to
vote every dollar that may be asked.
He said today that he and Mr.. Shonts
were in some respects upon the same
ground.

different opinion, which I base upon the

upon the experience Of the French, who

alike to both types. ! :.
ourselves, and they threw the job over
on us in order to get rid Of 1t.
"Shonts says the canal can be built,
whether as lock or sea level canal, and
I differ with him. I would have been
that canal, to have. found some .proba-
bility or possibility of building it with
an expenditure Of money that the
American :people could afford, but I
have never yet, been convinced that it
could be done.'
''No Sea Level Canal
/ "Will congress finally give it's ap-
prfpDaal pro va to a sea level canal?' was
"I have an idet it will,' Senator Nor
gan replied. "If~this new commission
can show any plausible ground for a
lock canal congress will stand by the
lock canal. / have never voted for any
thing else. If the commission fails to
do so, do not know what will become
Of the project. Perhaps the railroad
companies will finally prevail and pre-
vent the construction of any canal.
Their plan has been distinctly to get
this competitor out of the way, and the
question Of whether it shall be the sea-
level or lock type is nothing to them IN
less us handle for delay, or to defeat
/ the proiect.''
"The canal commission is in need of
more money! it was suggested.
"More money, yes. They will need
$2OO,O0O,OOO at least if lock canal is
determined upon, and they will need not
less than $300,O00,Q00 and probably not
less than $50O,O00,O00 for sea-level
canal. That is one of the reatures Of
the question congress must consider.

With a deficit in the treasury and lit

"E dent expect to many any effort
to induce congress to go back to the

RUSS CRUISER FLED
The Lena Is Believed to Have Sailed
Away from Vladivostok.

Honolulu, Nov. 19.--It is reported
that the Russian cruiser Lena, which un
expectedly came here, went near enough
to Vladivostok to get into wireless
communication with that port and was
warned to keep away unless in sympa-
thy with the people in their uprising
against the government. 1t is said
the <fficers were divided in opinion, and
that the crew was in sympathy with the
uprising. It is impossible to confirm
this report because the captain of the
Lena will not be interviewed, and the
officers will not discuss the voyage.
The Minneapolis journal., 1905-11-20

The appearance of the Lena at Homo
lulu has not yet been explained. She
left San Francisco for vladivostok with
enough coal to carry her to her desti-
nation and at time when she was due
to, be in that port she steamed into Hon
olulu harbor with very little coal in her
bunkers. -

At New Westminster, B. c., an or
ganization has been formed of local
business men under the title of the
New Westminster Fruit Packing Com
pany. A fine modern plant has been
installed on the waterfront, and is
about ready to begin operations. Mr..
Saml. Haigh, the general manager, has
had a great many years. experience in
the canning business. To a repre-
sentative of The Ranch Mr.. Haigh ex-
pressed himself as confident that the
enterprise would prove a success from
the start. Every effort will be made
to put up very high class of goods,
and as they are free from competition
from the United States and have the
whole of Canada as their market, they
will have no trouble in disposing of
their output. 1t is to be hoped that
the producers of the Westminster
district will give the enterprise the
support it deserves, as it will give
them a ready output for their surplus
fruits and vegetables.

The Cultivation of Broccoli.

Broccoli is one of the cauliflower
family and it's cultivation is the same
1t does we'll west of the Cascade noun
tains in our latitude but is not such
a success east of the mountains. 1t is
harder than caulifiOwer, natures
earlier. but in quality it is inferior
Soil and cultivation that will produce
good cabbages will do for broccoli, but
it requires more careful attention, be-
ing more difficult to grow Like cauli-
flower, broccoli wants a cool, moist
season, and the soil in which it is to be
grown must be rich, moist and loamy.
For a spring or early summer crop
SOW in March or early in April, in q
hot bed, and transplant to cold frame
when sufficiently large, and to the
open ground as soon as danger of
hard freezing is over. For late crop
it may be sown at the same time as
late cabbage and treated in the same
manner Best results will be obtained
by planting either very early or very
late, in order to avoid the hot mid
summer season when heads are being
formed. One-half pound of seed will
be sufficient to produce plants for one
acre. Some use even less than that.

ing apricots for evaporating purposes
| have no experience. Apricot seeds
grow very readily but most of the
seedlings are worthless for market
purposes. Friend Proctor will have
to buy his trees of some reliable nur-
seryman or plant the seed and then
bud the seedlings. Be careful with
whom you deal in buying apricot trees.
A man in our neighborhood bought 200
young apricot trees for Mooreparks
and when they bore he had but four

August is the surest and safest way to

There has not been a failure of the

sections where this fruit is secured
every year; that in the Santa Clara val
ley, Cal, growers do not expect more
than three crops out of five" Is this
fact or fiction? What are the best vari-
cites to grow? Can the apricot be grown
just as we'll from pits, or must budded
or grated trees be secured from the
nurseries? Truly yours, HI. H. Proctor.

Under date of May 81 F. w. Easily,
of Chelan, Wash, asks the following
question: "Will you tell me through
the columns of The Ranch what to do
for our raspberries? About the time
they begin to ripen the canes begin to
dry and something weaves webs all
through them, although no insects are
visible to the naked eye. Usually this
occurs about July first" If real webs
are woven among the canes as here
stated there are insects there and big
enough to be seen with the naked eye.
The first thing to be done is to find
these insects and ascertain whether
they eat the leaves or whether they
merely suck the juice from them. If
they eat, like canker worm, dust
them with hellebore. If these insects
are suckers, then spray the canes thor
oughly with strong soap suds or kero-
sene emulsion. 1t may be that these
canes die from some other cause, such
as being too dry or having an insect
working at the root. In such a case
the webbs are not webs at all but
gossamers that blow through the air
and lodge in the canes. 1t will be alb
solutely necessary to learn what is
