LOCK CANAL NOW CERTAIN.

This Is the Definite Conclusion OF
II government.
That the Panama canal, when complet-
ed, will nave a summit level of So feet
above the sea, to be reached by locks, a
work estimated to cost $139, 705,2OO, and
to be completed in eight and one-half
years, Is the definite conclusion of the
executive branch Of the government, as
shown in President Roosevelt's letter,
transmitting to Congress, Monday, the re-
port of the canal commission, and a let
ter from Chief Engineer Stevens. AL
though the lock canal is favored by only
a minority Of the board of consulting en-
ginecrs, whose report is also transmitted,
the canal commission, with the exception
Of Admiral Endicott, indorses the mi
~nority's plan, and this Is approved by
Chief Engineer Stevens, who says it will
take twenty years to dig a sea-level canal,
and that it will cost $25,O0O,OOO more
than the majority estimates. The Presl-
dent concurs in Secretary Tafts recon-
mendation for the lock canal. He calls
attention to the fact that the American
engineers on the consulting board. by
more than two to one, favor this plan,
whereas, the foreign engineers are a unit
against it.. He thinks this is partly ex-
planned by the fact that the Suez canal
is a sea-level canal. He mentions that,
although the Sault Ste. Marie canal, a
lock canal, is closed during the winter
months, it carries annually three times
the traffic of the Suez. The majority OF
the consulting engineers found that a
sea-level canal would cost $247, 021 900,
approximately, but held that the cost OF
operating and maintaining it would be
very much less than the lock canal. 1t
Is admitted that it would require more
dredging, and that one lock would have
to be maintained. The question is now
up to Congress. 81

slLLsoARDs FOR RELIGION.
Churches of Colorado Are Adver'
Using ElabOrate1y.

Using ElabOrately.
The use of the bill board, the poster
and the placard to advertise religious SER
vices is coming into fa- 81 in Denver. 1t
was begun by Rev. Christian f. R~eisner,
pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal
!hurch, and if the present rivalry among
congregations in the matter Of the con-
spicuous display of their advertisements
Is not soon abated theater managers, who
In the past enjoyed a practical monopoly
Of the bill board privileges, may be called
on to pay an advance in the price of
space on the boards. Not only are the
churches doing more advertising than ever
before, but there is keen rivalry III the
wording of the advertisements.
This activity dates from last spring.
when Rev. Billy Sunday, the ex-ball play
err evangelist, held meetings in the Colo
RADIO gold camps. He caused all the coun-
ty seat owns in the neighborhood of the
places where he conducted revivals to be
placarded, and families drove for miles
and travelled across the mountains to hear
his sermons.
Sunday introduced what to Colorado
was an innovation, in the form of stick
ers," bearing the legend, Get Right With
God These were pasted on sidewalks,
on lamp posts, or the windows of street
cars-in every place where they would
attract attention. One religious cam
p~aisner slipped into n fashionable hotel
at Colorado Springs one night and pasted
a 'sticker'' on the bands of all the hats
he could find while the owners were at
dinner.
The Denver Young Mems Christian
Association has adopted modern methods
in raising money for n new building. 1t
has set out to collect 100000 in one
month. The organization has rented a
large storeroom on q prominent down
town corner and there has established
headquarters, much after the manner of
d po!;::ca! campaign headquarters. y
chairman receives reports hourly from his
lieutenants, who have certain districts in
charge, like precinct captains. New sub
scriptions are indicated on a large clock
dial placed high outside the building in
plain view from two streets.
The spirit of rivalry has spread to the
Sunday schools, and school cries have
been adopted by the children. When par
ties of pupils from different Sunday
schools meet they give voice to their
cheers with all the enthusiasm of students
of rival colleges.

Steel Trust Opposes Strike.

President Corey of the United States
Steel Corporation has brought to bear
all the influence of that great enterprise,
including his twenty-fve-year contract
with the Pittsburg Coal Company, In
favor of granting an advance to the coal
miners if necessary to avoid a strike. This
he did in. a talk with President Robbins
Of tho Pittsburg Coal Company, Tues
day, saying that the steel trust would
not stand for any strike that would cause
his steel mills to shut down for a single
day for, lack of coal. At the same time
George ]. Gould, representing interests
in the West and South, has old the bitn-
minous operators that they must prevent
a strike at all hazards. To this end, 4
meeting of the operators was held at Pitts.

A disaster that recalls wildly the
Galveston flood has befallen the Society

from hundreds to 10000 and a property

peete, the capital of the Island of Tahi.
ii, has been submerged, and its princi.
pal buildings crushed like shells, while
elsewhere whole villages have been
swept away. Some Of the islands are
said to have disappeared entirely.
Thousands of persons nave been made
homeless, and calls for relief have been
sent out by the resident consuls to their
governments.
Details Of the storm were brought to
San Francisco by the steamer Mariposa,
though the vessel left Papeete before
the full extent of the destruction 1t
wrought had been ascertained. The
hurricane prevailed for sixteen hours
on Feb. 8, the wind reaching a velocity
of more than 100 miles al hour, eau
ing q disturbance of unprecedented VIC
lence in the sea. The storm came up
in the night and reached Its greatest
fury before warning could be given to
the inhabitants Of the Islands. Many
were swept away on the first great
waves. Others sought refuge in the
tops of cocoanut trees, and it is feared
that hundreds Of these latter victims
must have persisted on the smaller isl.
ands from hunger, thirst or exposure
before relief could be Sent to them.
There is a small American colony al
Papeete. and, while no fatalities among
its members are reported by the ON
GERS of the Mariposa, they are certai
that great distress and suffering must
follow the storm and that relief meas
ures will be necessary.

Totals ..........$104 ,2O4 Slo1,039

The total in this miscellaneous class il
higher than at any time in thirty years.
and the recent rise occurred chiefly in
building materials.
Aside from a general advance In meats,
most food products became cheaper, but
the general level Of prices is higher than
on March I, 1905. despite the fact thai
foodstuffs have declined about g per cent.
Quotations for live stock and provis-
ions have not shown the customary dispo-
sition to follow the course of the grain
markets, practically every item in the
list recording more or less advance, mess
pork rising $1.25 per barrel during Feb
ruary and $1.7o since the opening Of the
year.
In fact, the upward tendency in meats
has been in progress, with scarcely any
interruption, since early last autumn. "A
moderate decrease occurred in prices of
dairy and garden products, the principal
differences being lower quotations tor
milk, eggs, hay and cheese, while butter
rose another cent, and vegetables were
also slightly higher.

The phenomenally mild and open win
ter, which has kept the hens Industrious,
has smashed the egg market and the cold
storage men and wholesale dealers are
facing losses mounting into the millions.
In New York City there is to-day a sur
plus of cold storage eggs estimated at
10000 cases, or 81, 100000 eggs. There
is, besides, a surplus of fresh laid eggs
of unknown quantity. Eggs are almost
dirt cheap. Storage eggs are selling at
from 6 to 10 cents a dozen, while fresh
laid eggs sell at IA cents or a little more
a dozen wholesale. rs

For Corporate Regeneration.

Judge Grosscup of Chicago, in an ad-
dress before the Hamilton Club, Tues
day night, said that two forces con-
front the individual in this country to-
day, one being the indifference Of the
State and national governments to che
character of their corporation offspring,
and the, other the rising current of a
general public ownership. He thought
these currents, however, flowed from the
same source, namely, the separation of
the paople from the corporate domain. He
said the thing to '-tssre esnl
at once the work of regenerating the cor
pasation by having the government take
charge of 1t from its birth.

Standard OIL Men Must Testify.

In a decision rendered by the Supreme
Court of Missouri it was held that off
GERS of foreign corporations doing bust
ness in his State by implication had
agreed to testify whenever wanted, and
that they cannot withhold books and pa
pers forming a part of their business rec
ord. Inasmuch as Judge Gildersleeve of
New York indicated that he would abide
by the decision Of the Missouri court
as to the refusal OF 81. H. Rogers and
other Standard Oil witnesses to answer
questions put by the Missouri Attorney
General, the court decision means that
Rogers and his allies will have to an
swer questions put to them or go to jail
for contempt Of court. The Missouri
decision goes even further by declaring
that officers Of a foreign corporation must
produce any Witnesses wanted by the
court in any prosecution that may arise.
This would include witnesses who have
fed from the process servers, including
John D. Rockefeller, head of the oil trust.

Pennsylvania railroad of exacting $50
cash for it's %1,OOO-mile tickets, with the
understanding that $40 is to be returned
when the ticket has been used up and
the stub turned in. Secretary Brown
finds that this e~1tortionate deposit is in
defiance of the constitution on several
grounds, and Attorney General Carson
has been ordered to bring suit against the,
railroad at once.
