PANAMA CANAL BUILT BY CONTRACT.

Invitations for proposals to COM
plete the Panama canal have been is
sued by the canal commission and the
form of contract under which the
work will be done made public. The
contract provides that each bidder
must undertake the entire work of
construction. No bar will be offered
to corporations associating in the un-
dertaking, but they must be legally
organized into single body with
which the government can deal. Bid
ders will not be considered who do not
have an available capital of So, 000,
600. A certified check for 5000, 600 is
required with each proposal and a
bond of 50. 600. 600 will be required
from the successful bidder The bid
ding is not limited to American con-
tractors.
All proposals are to be in before
noon, December 18th, when they will
be opened. Proposals are to be ex-
pressed in terms of percentage upon
the estimated cost of construction,
which is to be fixed by board of
engineers, three representing the gov
ernment and two the contractor. The
chief engineer of the canal commission
will be chairman of the engineer
board
All of the government plant for the
actual construction work will be
placed at the disposal of the contrac-
tor and to be maintained by the gov
ernment. The commission is to re-
tain control of all engineering work
in connection with the construction
of the canal. and all property, build
ings, authority, the auditing depart
ment, etc.
Sixty days after the signing of the
contract actual work is to begin on
the isthmus, and the contractor is to
take over all employees in the isthmus
which the commission does not wish
TO retain. NO American emplOye is
to work more than eight hours.
In support of the commissions posi-.
tion that the canal can be contracted
to greater advantage than it can
be built by the government.
Shonts says that because of the
unprecedented and greatly extended
industrial activity of the time, and
consequent violent competition for all
classes of superintendents and even
ordinary laborers it would take the
commission years to secure men and
build up departmental construction
organizations which would equal in
efficiency those now controlled by
leading contractors of the United
States.''

factured so far from trade centers,
that freight charges make it-or at
least the lower grades Of molasses-a
waste product. This material may be
easily fermented and gives good
quality of alcohol. Alcohol from this
source is manufactured in Cuba for
from u to 10 cents a gallon, Porto
Rican molasses is already being i'm
ported info this country so as to be
profitably used as source of alcohol.
The process of manufacture is simpler
than in the case of corn, for the fer
mentable material is sugar, and no
preliminary mailing is necessary 1t
is sufficient to thin the molasses un-
til it contains from l6 to 20 per cent
of sugar and add the yeast.
Fruits, and many kinds of vegeta-
BILE waste, can be turned into alcohol,
but at present most of them can be
more prcfitably used for other pur-
poses. Any of the cereals, many
starchy materials such as cassava,
rice waste, etc, are sources of alco-
hol, but on account of their price, it
seems unlikely that they will be used
in its manufacture.
The man who is preparing to man
ufacture denatured alcohol must take
may things into consideration. First,
has the raw material, containing
starch and sugar at sufficiently low
cost? Take corn as basis, and cal
culate whether the starch or sugar
in the material in question costs
more or less than the starch in corn,
considering that corn contains 60 per
cent of starch. If the material is any.
thing out of the ordinary, so that it's
composition is not known, have it
analyzed, not only for it's value as a
source of alcohol, but also for the
value of the residues that will remain
after the alcohol has been distilled.
If the material proves suitable, then
is it available in sufficient guam
tity? The revenue authorities have
decided to license no distillery that
produces less than $50 gal. of alcohol
per day. Questions of markets, trans
portatiOn. ETC.. must, of course. be
considered. Most important of all,
is the probable price that alcohol will
bring, and that is quite impossible to
ha al
tured alcohol is not going to be as
large at the start as many suppose.
The papers have recently published
an interview in which Commissioner
Yerkes is quoted as saying that alco.
hol is very little used in Europe for
power and light. If this is true in
has long been available. it seems
probable that it will be some time
before it will successfully compete
with gasoline as source of heat or
power in this country. There are.
however, many other uses TO which
it may be put, which have been over.
of artificial silk, which in France
makes a market for an enormous
amount of alcohol
The possibilities of this business of
manufacturing alcohol are so great
that very many people will probably
rush into it without looking into the
matter carefully, but there is no doubt
a great chance for man with small
capital who wants to engage in man
ufacturing and who is willing to give
his best efforts to bringing his process
TO the highest degree of efficiency.

Profanity is to be a thing OF the
past when "Triniti" the new univer-
sal language which DR.. S. A. Frazier
of Berkeley has invented, comes into
use. DR.. Frazier has devised Ian
guage which contains no words signi-
ficant of anger, i'll will, or other un-
pleasant emotions. No provision is
made by the doctor for the man who
desires to express his feelings in swear
words. Many years have been de-
voted by DR., Frazier to perfecting
his new language. He calls his Ian.
guage "Triniti," because it is a COM
bination of Latin, Greek and Anglo.
Saxon letters and characters. There
are to, be thirty-four letters in "Trin-
It'll" of which twenty.six will be
English and eight Greek.

The Minister'S Son"

1t would be difficult to say too
much in appreciation of the true merit
of Macauley & Patton's production of
1.-THE Minister'S Son. 1.-THE play is one
that touches tie hearts of the people.
1t is not only rich in sentiment but
abounds in vein of humor that is
different from anything else that
has been seen. In fact, tie play
NAV be said to be of a type of it's
own. from the rise of the curtain ON
the first act to the close of the last
scene. One of the critics in st.
Louis said that the audience went
away feeling that they were really
better for having seen the play and
had double their moneys worth. 1t
is remarkable for the number of its
characters. each one of which is neces-
sary TO the story, and the uniform
strength with which each one is pre-
sented, There are two old men char
acters, and each is taken with fidel-
ity that recalls the days of Couldok in
the earlier days of 'HaZel Kirke. 4"
The juvenile characters are equally
we'll taken. "The Minister'S Son" is
a modern comedy drama. The charm
of the play lies in its idyllic quail
ties, the tenderness and daintiness of
its love story, and the unique way in
which it is presented. Managers
Weiser & Bear announce this attrac.
tion for Friday night of this week.
The price for this attraction have been
