OFF CAPE Con
Work Begins on Ship Canal Which Will Shorten Water Highway Between New York and Boston

IJle obstacle has been thrown in the way of those who have endeavored to bring the project to successful conclusion.
 The most potent opposition and the most difficult to combat Was that of the New York, New Haven and Hartford l.:j!- road. whose tracks crossed the route of the canal three times. The reroutng and rebuilding of a considerable section of the road at this point was absolutely essential to the successful operation of the canal and. naturally. the company fos sht any such radical change with the nt.&cst vigor. The cessation of hostili- ties on the part of the railroad company was largely due to the public spirit and iiroadmindedness of President Mellen, who came to the conclusion that the peo- pie of Massachusetts generally would benefit so greatly. in that it would ena- h,e them to get raw materials so much cheaper, and that the railroad would share in the general prosperity.

MEXICAN VET
 BRAINS CELEBRATE

San Francisco, Sept. 14.-Associat- ed Veterans of the Mexican War took part today in what will probably be their last great celebration on the
 Pacific coast, the occasion marking
 the sixtieth anniversary of the last
 battle of the Mexican war and the entry of General Winfield Scott and the United States army into the city of Mexico, September IA, 1S47. The exercises were held at the Presidio and were under the auspices of the United States army and navy, Vet erans of the Mexican War, Spanish War Veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic. A movement has been launched to bring about a reg ular observance of this day, and Mex ican war veterans hope that Septem- Der IA may be set aside as regular national holiday. Colonel John A.. Lundeen, commanding the Presidio post, was in charge of today's ob- servance, having been detailed for that purpose by General Frederick Funston. commanding the depart ment of California.
 One of the features of the occasion was the exhibition for the first time of a portrait of General Winfield Scott, which was painted in the city of Mexico shortly after the capture
 of that capital by the conquering army of the United States The DOT trait is the only one in existence of the intrepid "hero of Lundy's land and Chippewa and is now the pro- perty of Colonel John l.. Bromley of Oakland. It was painted by West, one of MeXico's most famous artists, who himself was native of the United States.
 Todays celebration was not merely that of battle, but the anniversary of the last of a long string of vic- tories that won for the United States the undisputed title to the conquered territory of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. When the Stars and Stripes were raised over the halls of the General Scott announced 70 the world the final conquest of an empire.

There are nine great ship canals ia the world to-day, all of which were built ill the last seventy-five years. This number will soon be increased to ten, for on Sep 1ember work begins on the Cape Cod Canal, which will connect Buzzard's Bay with Cape Cod Bay. will shorten i.c water route between New York and Boston by one hundred and forty-two miles, and will make the annual tribute of life and property to Nantucket Shoals -caused by fog, hurricane and ship wreck-a thing of the past.

HISTORY OF THE CANAL.

A citizen of the town of Sandwich was the first who suggested that the canal be dug. and he finally succeeded in per suading the council of Massa achusctts Bay Colony to appoint q committee to look into tEe matter; but these sturdy
 !'uritans were far too busy burning witches in Salem or hanging Quakers in Boston to consider canals, and nothing ,ras done. In 177C the General Court of Massachusetts appointed a committee of five, under Gen. Thomas Machin, to report on the advisability of cutting the canal and q channel If feet deep was decided upon: but the hostile attitude of the British fleet anchored in tae bay caused the interruption of the work. In 1191 and iu 1918 surveys were again made by Loamni Baldwin, but he was unable to get sufficient financial back ing to warrant Jim in doing any con- structioE work. In 1894 l..e canal was brought prominently to the fore again when President Monroe advised a re- survey and sent a message to Congress recommending that the canal be built by the government. but the report was lost ill the dim dust or political intrigue and was completely y forgotten until 1860. when the plan was again revived only to run full tit into the hustle of civil war. and the im9oSsibility of obtaining money for the enterprise caused it to be shelved once mere. In 1S715 a charter was ob- tained from the Massachusetts Iegisla ture. and 900 Italians with Shoyels and Wheelbarrows were set to work ii4 the hope that a sufficient amount of stock could be sold t. enable the promoters to proceed on Il larger scale: hut the scheme was obviously so ridiculous at it failed and the Italia::s were dcported at the expense of the State. IH 1SS4-o the inventor of patent ,1redge went to work and dug channel one mile long and 16 feet deep. but his dredge was a poor affair at best, and upon his death wol> stopped and the charter .;as de- cla red forf aited
