s.IIIno orchids At Auction,

An orchid sale in London is a solemn
affair Orchids toll not, neither do they
spin They yield no crops for food, no
material for raiment. OF even for manu-
features. If we except the contribution of
vanilla to our stock of spices. They are
simply beautiful = strangely beautiful.
Some of them not even that
In front of the raised auctioneer's ros-
trum were arranged the precious things,
carefully guarded by a broad counter
and a row of active attendants. AS each
tiny treasure was put up, an eloquent
summary of its virtues was delivered by
the auctioneer to attentive ears; while
dainty water-color pictures of the hoped
for blossoms were held up to the regard
of eager eyes.
The audience sat in close rows, alert
intent, absorbed. Except when a famous
plant was put up and the bidding ran
TO high figures there was no thought of
light talk or jest, such as one commonly
hears al other auctions. The gathering
was wholly of men, except for two or
three women experts. A conspicuous no.
tice prohibited the smoking of pipes, but
cigars were earnestly smoked; they
seemed necessary sedative of the sup
pressed excitement The bidding was in
guineas, mere pounds falling below the
dignity of an orchid sale.
At length the auctioneer arrives at the
gem of the sale. He folds his arms and
leans back in his chair, gazing around on
his audience, among which runs that
kind of noiseless movement usually
termed Sensation Now, gentlemen,

The steam schooner, a vessel whose
build and habits are peculiar TO the Pa
cifc, often goes to sea with her loadline
over her hatch" Which means. says
Ralph D. Paine in Outing" that after
her hold has been crammed with cargo.
e deck load of lumber is piled halfway
up the masts. so that her skipper puts
out with the water washing green over
her main deck, and an occasional comber
frisking across his battened matches.
Along the harbor front of Seattle runs
the story of a passenger who loped down

oeparting steam schooner. He balanced
himself on the stringpiece for an instant.

The yarn has z slight flavor of exag-
geration. but il may serve to hint that
the commerce of the Pacific has ways of
It's own. Until recently another distinc-
live feature of this shipping was that
there seemed TO be very little of it for
so much water.
On a recent voyage the Minnesota car
ried TO the Orient seventy locomotives,
more than a hundred railway cars, 10000
kegs Of wire nails and S50O0o0 worth of
hardware, machinery, -four and other
products of the mills, the mines, the
farms and the factories.
In 1897 the total tonnage of American
steam vessels engaged in the Pacific
Ocean was .. 426; in 1905 il had increased
70 1855. by which time more vessels in
foreign trade were owned in Washington
than in any other State of the Union.
New ships are building TO meet new
demands. and yet with almost every
voyage the liners leave behind them wait
ing cargoes for which they nave no space,
whose BULK is measured by hundreds of
carloads. In the first half of last year
ten ships were filled with freight left
behind by steamers out of Seattle and

THE HERALD very much regrets
the spirit of lethargy which seems
to dominate Our people in regard
to the intercoastal canal and It's
importance. We are 10th to believe
It is from a lack Of progressiveness,
but rather a lack Of appreciation
OF the benefits to accrue.
There was a committee appoint
ed over a year ago to secure all
obtainable data from this section,
and furnish same to the canal COM
mission but judging from the words
of Capt. Jadwin in his speech at
Lake Charles, the committee did
not appreciate the Importance of
the work delegated to it, and let
the matter go by default.

THE INLAND CANAL.

At the recent meeting of the
Inland Waterway convention at
Lake Charles, La, the speech
which probably attracted most at
tention was that of Capt. Jadwin,
of the U. S. engineering corps. In
his speech the following language
is used. which should cause every
citizen of Brownsville to hang his
head in shame. Capt. Jadwin said:
! AM not yet so certain of the
immediate commercial justification
of the stretch between Sabine and
Galveston, and still less that por-
ton from Arkansas to Brownsville
since the Brownsville people had
given the project absolutely no at
tention and had not supplied any
transportation figures upon which
such an improvement could be
justified.
There can be no possible excuse
by the people OF Brownsville for
not furnishing the data requested
THE HERALD published the request
for information when it was first
asked for, in ample time for secur-
ing it. On various occasions there
after it referred to the matter
editorially aud otherwise, urging
the Importance of the work aud
the necessity of all possible data
being furnished in order that a
favorable report of the feasibility
of the waterway might be made.
Later it published matter bearing
on the question, sent out by the
executive committee of the commits
sion, and again urged that some
thing be done. What was done?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Our
people have simply sat down, done
nothing and will probably continue
to do the same, and since the
people of Brownsville have given
the matter absolutely no attention" .
