Notwithstanding the fact that the
committee on interoceanic canals de-
cided by majority of one in favor of
Sea-level canal at Panama there
seems to be but little doubt that lock
canal will be the type finally decided
upon. The minority of the committee
has made an exhaustive report which
strongly favOrs the lock plan. mas
much as the SpoOner act confers upon
the president the authority to decide
the type and the lower house favOrs a
lock canal the ahherents of the lat
ter are largely in the majority. The
danger from earthquakes is given but
little consideration in the minority re-
port. In fact it appears to be a sub
terfuge, as some OF the best engineers
of the country hold that serious seis-
mic disturbances at Panama would do
more damage to sea-level canal than
it would to one of the lock type. Chief
Engineer Stevens is said to share in
that opinion. Concerning the danger
to the lock canal from malicious mis-
chief and attempted destruction in
time of war, the minority says there
is no reason for supposing that neu-
trality will not be accepted by all ma
tons of the earth, and that this would
be the most effective way of prevent
ing injury to the canal. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of the lock canal,
with everything included except sani-
tatiOn, would be in the neighborhood
of $l40 600, 600. Estimates made by the
majority as to the cost of the sea level
canal are disputed by the minority,
which declares that the total cost will
be about 1922 100000 instead of s247.-
100000. AS there is little likelihood
of the two houses of congress getting
together on the proposition the presi-
dent is almost certain to go ahead
with the lock type, under the authority
vested in him by the Spooner act, as
further delay would work great injury
to the gigantic undertaking.

SUGAR PRODUCTION
RAPID ADVANCE IN COLORADO
State Shows Twenty-Nine Per Cent. Of
the Production Of Beet Sugar
in the Entire Country.

From the report recently prepared
FOR Congress 10 review the progress OF
the beet sugar Industry in the United
States, II is to be sesn that Colorado
easily forged 10 the first place in pro
dUction last year, attaining a lead over
all other states from which It will not
be soon dislodged. With s5.S57 acres
in bsets against 77.S23 acres in Mich
lgaD, the nearest state In point OF acre
age. Colorado produced sI5, "a tons OF
beets. which yielded 81 .Gos45 tons Of
sugar. against 73.s93.i5 tons made in
California. the closest competitor In
point OF yield.
TIE business as whole required
30T 3Gi acres yielded 2.GG5.91 tons Of
beets and 3i2 ,s20. 60 tons of sugar last
year. With about twenty-seven per
cent. OF the acreage. Colorado pro-
duced twenty nine per cent OF the
sugar
Some interesting figures have been
drawn from the estimates made In the
report on production for the present
year. The total of the cane sugar crop
for 1906 is estimated at C9S $50 900
pounds, while that of the beets, allow
ing for the new factories that are to
be ready for the coming campaign. Is
placed at Is3,2Oo,O00 pounds, the beet
output passing that OF cane sugar in
the year. The total yield of ! .4S2 ,0S0.-
600 pounds Of sugar will be made en-
tirely from the portion OF the country
lying west OF the Mississippi river
and exceed by 4s,l5o.49 pounds the
amount of sugar consumed by the
same territory last year. leaving for
export 10 the states east of the river
a quantity equal to the quantity con
sumed in Montana, Wyoming, New
Mexico and Idaho in 1905.
These figures help to show the
growth of the sugar-making industry
in Importance. This will be the first
year the sugarerowing states OF our
country have produced enough for
their own consumption. With this
years crop they begin to supply some
thing of the enormous demand of the
states east OF the river. AS the beet
fields Of Colorado spread and the fac
tories multiply, this state will more
and more be sending to Eastern mar
kets commodity for which the de
mand is practically unlimited. Not
only are the beet growers and sugar
factories keeping at home an immense
sum of money that has been annually
flowing to the outside, but they are en-
teriug upon the period when they will
be sending their product afar and

sit on green divan and babble OF
green fields. With Watteau fan in
one hand and glass in the other, we
tell each other what a splendid thins
1t Is to go a-shepherding, to dwell
close to the earth, to live a sweet,
natural life. We even hire men and
women to come and talk to us about
these things, to chant to us, to lecture
us about them. Sometimes We even
try to practice, hurriedly and hyster.
ically. some Of these things which we
have in pure self-hypnosis persuaded
ourselves that we ought to like. We
do no great good by that We effect
