THE PLAN OF THE CANAL.

Mr.. Shonts' suggestion, saws the
New York Tribune. that it is now
time to determine the plan of the
isthmian canal provokes characteris-
TIC outbreaks from the old enemies of
that enterprise. who affect to think
1t would be indecent precipitancy to
make such a decision at this date. as
well as monumental effrontery for
congress to decide question upon
which eminent engineers disagree. 1t
may we'll be asked. however, when it
wiil be fitting to choose plan. if it
Is not now. The subject has been
discussed directly and practically for
more than a quarter of a century.
Three American canal commissions
have considered it. Two chief en-
gineers have expressed their opinions.
A committee of thirteen of the fore
most American and European engin-
GERS, selected and constituted for the
express purpose, has patiently and
laboriously investigated all phases of
the matter and has reported upon it
in great detail. What further grounds
for determination can be reasonably
required?
Nor can we regard it as at all pre-
sumptuous for the laymen of congress
TO make a decision where the pro-
fessional engineers, have failed to
agree. They would be justified in do
ing 30 on the proverbial principle of
Whist 10 to be done when doctors dis
agree" They would be justified also
on the; ground Of the practical impos-
sibility Of securing universal agree,

Alberta Gallatin.

Cousin Kate" the play in which
Alberta Gallatin is starring this sea-
son, the author, Hubert Henry Davies,
has given the public one of the oldest,
and at the same time most successful
plays on the stage today. Its pecu-
liarity lies in the fact that during the
entire second act, which is generally
regarded as the prettiest part of the
production, only two characters are in
evidence until within two minutes of
the fall of the curtain.
1t is doubtful if there is play on
the road today that is scoring such a
general success as Cousin Kate" with
Alberta Gallatin in the title role. The
play itself is beautiful one and that
fact combined with Miss Galatians
infinite cleverness, is making the pro-
duction wonderful favorite and is
insuring it prosperous season next
year in case the present management
Kane, Shipman and Colyin, decide to
put it out again.
Miss Gallatin proved her powers in a
heavy role by the rendition of Mrs.
Alving in Ghosts" and tomorrow the
Metropolitan will have an opportunity
to contrast her work in lighter vein.

THE FARM LABOR QUESTION.

For years the matter of procuring
farm help in this state during the har-
vest and threshing season has been
serious one. The income from the
farms has been materially reduced
because of the high price necessary
to be paid in order to get help at all.
1t is not improbable that this sea-
son will be an exception in that it
will be more difficult than ever to
secure help because of the rebuilding
of San Francisco.
The high wages paid to North Da-
kota farm help has caused large
number of men to seek it during the
summer months. The coast has al
ways been overcrowded with laborers,
and as a result it has been decided
ly difficult task to procure job.
But conditions are now changed
and for the next two years there will
be abundance of labor for all who
may seek it in San Francisco The
city will have to be almost entirely
rebuilt. What has required half a CEN
tury to build must be reconstructed
in half as many months as it formerly
took years.
There will be an enormous demand
for skilled labor. but the work of
removing the debris will require an
army of laborers. the only qualifica-
ton of which will be muscle. Much
of the work Of removal and clearing
must be done within the next few
months. 1t is probable that the rail-
roads will make greatly reduced rates
for laborers going to that place to
work, and it is not impossible to be-
lieve that they will carry them for
almost nothing.
There are thousands OF men who
have been spending the summer
months in the North Dakota harvest
fields who will be only too glad of an
opportunity to reach California by
these means and spend the winter in
that delightful climate. when they can
combine with the trip and the STAY
a splendid job.
The result of this will be that the
harvest help in this state will in all
probability be much scarcer than has
formerly been true. The farmers
cannot afford to pay moro than they
have in the past without seriously in
juring the farm profits.
1t is therefore important that some
course be adopted by which the dan
ger of a scarcity of labor will at least
be minimized. Just what this course
should be is rather a difficult PROPOSE
ton. 1t will be necessary to procure
all the reliable help at as early a
date as is possible. and to keep en-
ployed as long as possible. The farm
work will have to be spread over as
long a period as it possibly can be,
SO that the least possible help at any
one time will be needed.
Once the harvesting IL done it will
certainly be to the advantage of the

WHEAT PROSPECTS

Acreage Greater This Year
Than Last Only Real Bad
Spots in Valley.

[Sunday's Minneapolis Journal]
The favorable weather of the last
few days has spread mantle of green

ground all over Minnesota and the Da-
kotas, clear up to the Canadian line.

kota division or the Milwaukee road.

trains the country looks like green

1t is long way yet to harvest, with
the vicissitudes of the summer to be
reckoned with, but the start is favor
able, indeed 1t is doubtful whether the
promise was ever better at the CORE
spending date.
The rain map shows excessive mois-
ture in Minnesota in the, last three
weeks. but the precipitation was large
ly up where the pine grows and the
grain-producing counties are in good
shape on the whole. Fargo and Grand
Forks report larger grain acreage
in territory tributary than last year.
For Minnesota and the Dakotas there
are no official figures yet, nor will
there be any for some time, but best
private opinion is that the grain acre
age is 10 per cent larger than last
year. that wheat is to 10 per cent
larger, but spring wheat proper covers
slightly decreased area, owing to the !;
heavy sowing of durum wheat, which
is probably close to 20 per cent of the
whole. M
Two Bad Spots. 4.t44g
There are two bad spots In the crop.
One is In the Red river valley. 1t is
too wet there in strip along the river,
on the Minnesota side, through VIII
kin Clay and Normaa counties. But
the area is less than that affected last
year, by considerable. This land is
fertile and big crops come off it. The
significance is purely with reference
to wheat, for farmers unable to seed
by May usually put in coarse grains
instead. The other spot is In western
North Dakota. G. c.. Dalrymple wired

Mr.. Spalding, insurgent agitator,
says: They do not deny that Senator
Hansbrough offered an amendment to
the Alaska code prohibiting anyone
who had not become an American
citizen from holding mining claim"
Why should they (whoever he means)
deny anything of the kind? Was there
anything wrong about it? Did any
body call upon the senator who intro
duced the bill providing that an alien
should not hold homestead to deny
1t? OF course not, because it was
very proper thing to do. But there
were no insurgents in those days 60

Washing


WHITE paint was formerly an mn
w portant item in the cost OF the
up-keep of the White House. The man
sion received a fresh coat two or three
times a year, and eventually 1t came
about that there was an extremely thick
laver of paint all over it. To the pillars
of the portico in front a perceptible accre-
ton of diameter was contributed in the
course of eighty years or so.
But when soon after the incoming of
the Roosevelt administration the estab-
lishment underwent a thorough renOva-
ton and reconstruction: all of this aC
Cumulated paint was melted and secured
off by means of flame-blast, exposing to
view the original brown sandstone. Then
a fresh coat of white was put on, and the
edihce, which might originally have been
called the Brown House, became once
more, in appearance as well as in name,
the White House.
Since that time a new policy has been
adopted in the treatment of the man
SION. 1t is painted only at long inter
walls, and instead of a fresh coat of
white, it gets a thorough washing with
soap and water, applied with sCrubbing
brushes, every now and then.
1t will be remembered that when the
British invaders set fire to the executive
residence in 1914, it was SO marked by
the flames that Madison, when it had
undergone repairs, directed that 1t be
painted white. Thus it acquired its
present name-a title so obviously prefer
able to the stilted Executive Mansion"
that Roosevelt, when he came to occupy
it, DESTROYED the entire stock of official
stationery on hand and ordered fresh
