AN illustrated message to con-
gress is the novelty without prece-

republic which President Roosevelt
will introduce at the approaching ses-
sion of congress. Accompanying the
Presidents special message on the
isthmian canal will be large photo
graphs, perhaps half hundred in
number, showing actual conditions in
hte canal zone as he saw them
Nothing could be more convincing
than this method adopted by the pres
ident, in the opinion of his advisers.
When the message is read and the
congress no senator or representative
can fail to appreciate the difficulties
that are being encountered and in
many instances bravely overcome in
the gigantic task of canal digging.
Congress to See Work "in Being"
When President Roosevelt start
ed out on his Panama trip il was with
the determination to see everything
possible in the time allotted and to
study the situation at first hand. even
under the most adverse conditions.
These conditions, no matter how he
found them, he was determined to
portray as faithfully as he could be-
fore congress and the public general
ly.
For this purpose a special photo
grapher with an elaborate photo
graphing apparatus was sent to Colon
few days ahead of the president.
He arrived there almost simultan-
eously with Chairman Shonts. under
whose personal directions he set about
making pictures. Almost everything
from Colon 10 Panama had been pho
tographed before the presidents ar
rival and then the photographer fol-
lowed him across the isthmus, photo
graphing everything again as Mr..
Roosevelt saw il.

GET THEIR WHEAT TO THE
MARKET.
IPublis hers Press.J

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2.-Inter-
state-commerce commission has or
dered an investigation into the ques-
ton of car shortage throughout the
United States. The wheat situation
in the north west will be taken up
first. The commission is confronted
with the statement that traffic does
not begin to move as fast as several
years ago. 1t is said that the farmers
of the Dakotas and Minnesota have
filled the elevators along the lines of
the railroads and are stalking their
wheat in great bins twenty or thirty
feet deep and covering an acre or
more of ground while there is ample
room for all this wheat in the terminal
elevators at Chicago, Milwaukee, Min
neapol.s, Duluth and Superior.
The commission will endeavor to
discover what freight has been offered
and not hauled, how long cars are al.
lowed to remain upon side tracks, how
long loaded cars are held before be-
ing hauled to destination, what dis
between industries or
is practiced and whether
railroads make use only of large cars
of recent construction and abandon
the use of older and smaller cars.
