| the canal He will also look into the
question of handling freight, about
which there has been so much trouble,
and will inquire about the docking IA
cilities, which have been anything but
adequate for the enormous quantities
| Of machinery and other freight that
have been shipped to the isthmus pre-
paratory to the real work Of digging
| the canal.
The engineering problems also will
| engage much of his time, and he will
learn from actual experience the exact
| conditions that led to the construction
of a lock canal instead of one of the
sea level type, and why 1t required so
many long months to get data to en-
able the engineers to pass on this ques-
ton. The extreme difficulties involved
in the labor question will also be pre-
scented to President Roosevelt, and
he will be given an opportunity to see
for himself the difference between the
labor found in the United States and
that on the isthmus.
One of the most important features
Of the construction of the canal-the
Culebra cut-and the one which pre-
sents the most veXatious problems will
be studied with great interest by the
president. The soil in this cut is soft
clay, and the mountain fianking the cut
Is very high. This clay is so treacher-
Gus that when the engineers least ex-
pect it thousands of tops of it slide
down into the cut, bury the machinery
with which the laborers are working
and necessitate the removal of the soil
again. The cut fills up frequently, and
1t is feared that the entire mountain
will have to be removed
President Roosevelt will don rubber
boots reaching TO his hips and, clad in
macintosh and other appropriate
garments, will make close examina-
ton of the Culebra cut In fact, he
will go over every inch of territory on
the isthmus belonging to the United
States. He will travel to the Pacific
side of the isthmus over the Panama
railroad, which practically has been re-
built and Is now modern railway
Secretary Taft, Governor Magoon
and Chairman Shonts, each of whom
has made several visits to the isthmus.
will act as gui1es for the president.
After making a thorough examination
of the Panama canal zone the presi-
dent will return on the same warship.
He will be absent about three weeks
and will reach Washington shortly be-
fore congress convenes. He will give
that body the benefit of his experience
in his next annual message.

The new primary election law en-
acted 10y the last session of the legis-
lature will have its first practical ap-
plicatiOn throughout the state in the
primaries to be held Aug. 4. The
measure is so radically different from
the method heretofore in operation for
the selection of candidates, that Il di-

will be found desirable aid to a cor
rect understanding of its provisions.

primaries calls shall be filed for the
state, congressional, senatorial, coun-
~, sanitary district and municipal

county convention shall be filed at
least thirty days before the primaries.
In cases of existing contests where
more than one committee claims to be
the regular central committee Of a
county or congressional OF senatorial
district. the committee whose candi-
dates were placed on the official ballot
is authorized to issue the call in 1906.
Five days before the primaries the

shall be posted in every election pre-
cinct at least three days before the
primaries.

BATTLEAX SWINGING.

Dangerous New Sport of the British
Tommy Atkins.
Swinging the battleaxes" is q new
and rather dangerous drill recently in
troduced into the British army, says
the New York World King Edward
has placed the seal of his royal APP
prevail on it, however, by expressing a
desire to witness the first exhibition
drill, which is to be held as soon as 4
fair degree of proficiency is reached. In
the officers gymnasium of some of the
crack cavalry regiments 1t is proposed
to substitute battleaxes for Indian
clubs, but so far only the most skilled
army athletes venture to use them
The substitution Of the battleax for
a club in performing what are known
as the outer and inner circles shows
not only great strength in the man who
does 1t, but also perfect skill and alb
solute self confidence The skill will be
appreciated by those VINO know what
welding heavy clubs means and how
easy 1t is to knock oneself about If the
clubs are really heavy. Moreover,
their shape makes them the harder to
WELD as clubs. Yet when once prof.
cheney has been arrived at very little
is made of what seems to ordinary
eyes a wonderful feat. The battleax
is rare sight nowadays. In the old
crusading days it was part and parcel
of mounted mans equipment North
Of the Tweed the battleax was called
sperthe. Scott, In 1.-The Eve of st.
john" in describing the accouterments
of the Baron of SmayIho'me, says:
At his saddle gerthe was q good steel

Full ten pound weight and more.

White Enamel Ornaments Popular.

With the warm weather asnew note
in jewelry adornments has been struck
says the New York Press. A girl In
Lenox has made her rivals tgrit their
teeth by her wearing ornaments OF
white enamel with her white gowns.
One day recently she wore a white
dress, white shoes and a hat with
white peacock feathers. Instead OF
showing emeralds or sapphipes. which
are said to give a fine finishing touch
