FOREIGNERS BARRED
 FROM CANAL CONTRACTS
But American Contractors Must Sub init Reasonable Bids If They Want the Work.

Washington. Dec. 15.-Foreign con- tractors are to be barred from compe- titiOn for the completion of the Panama canal. Chairman Shcnts of the 18th milan canal today made this announce ment. Many changes have been agreed to in the form of the contract. but the most important is the limiting of pro- posals to American firms. The right will be reserved by the commission to reject all bids. The commission will then either throw the competition open to foreign bidders or proceed with the work without contract. January 12th is the date set for the opening of pro- posals.
 4 substantial reduction in the bond of the successful bidder was also made by the commission. Ii will be only g. 100000. and the total liability of the contractor is to be limited to the loss of a percentage of the premiums other wise payable to the contractor, and S1- 100000 in addition.
 MT. Shonts indicates other changes as follows: To relieve the contractor from responsibility for the use of defective materials. providing ne has requested the chief engineer in writing for a definite approval of the materials; to provide for later change in the es- timated cost and time of construction as originally agreed to by the engi- neering commission in case the plans or specifications for the construction of the canal shall be materially altered in any respect or if it shall be made to appear to the president that the esti- mates based on physical data is so CT roneous as to materially affect the es timated cost on time construction. or for any other material reason which the contractor is not responsible.
 It was also provided that in case the government should decide to terminate the contract when the contractor is not in default. the contractor shall be paid the cost Of the work performed to date and S25O.OOO addition to such percentage as may have been earned up to that time.

PHoENIX, ARIZ., DEC. Is, 1906.
THE SAN DIEGO AND ARIZONA.

THE SAN DIEGO AND ARIZONA.
 The old dream of San Diego that it would sometime have railroad coInmu- nication with the Colorado river and thence with the east by means of some transcontinental line built. or yet to be built, is now in fair way to be realized, at least in part.
 Fourteen years ago a delegation of San Diego gentlemen headed by the mayor, came to Phoenix to enlist the cooperation of the people oi Phoenix in this matter. The project seemed so plausible that those who were not fa- miliar with the difficulties of railroad building, believed that within a very few years this city would be directly connected with Coronado bay.
 That the San Diegans believed it. is evidenced by the fact that they actu ally began building the road in this di rection and succeeded in constructing fifteen miles. At this early juncture, the. most important part of the plan miscarried. The promoters were unable to interest capitalists in so much of the line as they had built, to the extent of furnishing more money for advanc- ing the road any farther.
 The project in a new form or per haps an entirely new project, has been begun. At the head of it is a man capable of putting it through, and who would hardly be identified with it at ali, if he did not intend to put it through. John D. Spreckels is endeav- bring to make San Diego the overshad- owing city of Southern California. and he has good working material in it's incomparable harbor, the only one to speak of on the Southern coast.
 Information regarding the railroad plans of MT Spreckels and his associ ates is very meager. IL is only stated that the road is to be built to the Col orado river. to Yuma, or some nearby point. Whether it will skirt the south ern or northern shore of the Salton Sea is conjecture.
 There would be little advantage to San Diego in the opening of the cOun- try between the Colorado and San Diego. So the conjecture extends to the purposes of the promoters of the road after the Colorado has been reach ed. That will perhaps be made known in good time.

NATIONAL EDITORS
 DESIRE A REVISION
They Call on the Interstate Commerce Commission to Settle This Question of Transportation.

Washington, Dec. 15.-About fifteen of the National Editorial association had an informal hearing today before the Interstate Commerce Commission, in regard to the ruling of the committee that railroads cannot make contracts with newspapers for advertising. giving in return. railroad transportation. Re marks were made by J. $. Junk.n of Sterling. Kansas, president of the Ma tional Editorial Association. and Oth- CTS. They asked that revision of the commissions interpretation be made, with view to a continuance of the satisfactory business relations between the railroads and the public. which they said. have existed for a long time.
 Chairman Knapp replied that prom inent railroad men had applauded the action of the commission. The chair man declared that the law cOmprehen- sively. explicitly and unqualifiedly. prohibited transportation by railroads Of persons and property except in ac- cordance with the express terms of the tariffs filed for that purpose. and that every tariff provided for payment in money. Expressing a personal opinion, the chairman said that if the railroad was honestly and legally indebted to newspaper for advertising or for any thing else. he saw no reason why it should not issue transportation for it. but that there could be no fake" con tracts, which contemplated merely the furnishing of transportation for adver- Using. 1t was suggested to the mem bers of the association that they were not precluded by the ruling of the commission from making a test case if they desired to have the question ju dicfally determined

That our American rorests abound in plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers. Even the untu- tored Indians had discovered the useful ness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This iniorma- tion, inparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until to-day we have a rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots.

From orchard tree, ripe yellow APP

And eastward, far away, u mountain
Looms through the blue, its summit
