MISTAKES IN PANAMA.

That high public officials and ex-
perts make mistakes in estimates and
calculations as we'll as farmers often
do, in calculating the cost of irrigat-
ing bitches and land leveling in Uma-
tilla county, is shown in the latest re-
ports from the Panama canal.
1t will be remembered that the esti-
mated area of the great storage lake,
which is to be found by the con-
struction of the Gatun dam, was 110
square miles. This calculation was
based upon the preliminary recon-
naissances of the area to be flooded
and was understood to be only APP
proximate.
The detailed surveys OF the Isthmus

wOODSMAN AND BANKER.

Fawning public sentiment has
erected two vastly different views of
the same crime when committed by
persons of different social standing.
An illustration of this comes from
Lewiston, where two bankers and a
common woodsman" were sentenced
for exactly the same crime a day or
two ago.
For the bankers attorneys made ell
oquent pleas for mercy, reciting the
social standing and prominence OF the
guilty parties. For the common
scrub" beside them no plea was
made. He took his medicine like a
man. A correspondent at Lewiston
writing of the court room scene at the
time of passing sentence, says:
Kettenbach and Kester the bankers,
and Dwyer, the woodsman, came last
and from the lips of Judge Forney
flowed plea for leniency and mercy
for the bankers. but for the woodsman
there came no plea.
His plea for the bankers was like
that made for Robnett, but he went
farther and spoke of their social and
political standing and utility In the

NEW YoRk's GREAT INDUSTRY

According to the Worlds Work, the
most important industry in the state

shows that this industry has moved

the kindred industry, the making
of clothes for men. These two in
dustries together are far and away
ahead of any other single industry in
the state. They total over $340,00O,-

total value of all the products Of the
steel works and rolling mills Of
Pennsylvania.
Nearly $4,000 people live upon this

SKETCH OF RIDER HAGGARD.

Henry Rider Haggard, the English
novelist, was born at Brandenham. in
Norfolk, June %, 1856. He was ed
ucated privately and at the age of
10 became secretary to Sir Henry
Bulwer, governor of Natal. Two
years later he was on the staff of
Sir Theophilus Shepstone, special
commissioner to the Transvaal, and
was one Uf those who formally hoist
ed the British flag over the South
African republic. Two years later
again he was lieutenant and adjutant
Of the Pretoria Horse. In 1879 he
returned to England, having laid in
rich stores Of knowledge of South
Afraca, which were to be of great
value to him when he turned his at
tention to story writing.
Haggard's first novel, Dawn"
was published in 1884, and this was
followed by many others, "She," be-
ing probably the best known of ALL
Mr.. Haggard is now justice Of the
peace in his native county and of
late years he has interested himself
greatly in agricultural matters and
the welfare OF the rural population.

vantages in favor of the S5-foot high
level canal as now being constructed,
advantages which will be felt both in
the wet and the Try season.
In the first place the lake will have
sufficient capacity to receive and re-
tain all the flood waters, even those
OF such heavy floods as occurred in
December of last year; and secondly,
It will be possible to handle this water
with considerable less fluctuation in
the canal level.
1t is estimated that the increased
lake area will double the amount of
water that will be impounded in the
lake at the commencement of the dry
season. The statistics of past years
show that, even in years of extremely
small rainfall. the run-off from the
area draining into the lake amounts
during the rainy season, to 1900 cubic
feet per second; and this will be suf-
ficient to raise the level of the lake
the four feet which it will be lowered
during the dry season.
1t is true that because of the in
creased area of the lake, the evapora-
ton will be double what 1t would have
been from a lake of only 10 square
miles area; but since the total sup
ply impounded will also be doubled
It Is estimated that, after deductine
the loss by evaporation, there will be
sufficient water available for 56 lock.

cal peace and progress to rise on the

WHITE BRIDE NOW A CHINESE.

Mrs. Wong Sun Yue, sister of Mrs.
Howard Gould, is no longer an Amer
lean citizen, says the San Francisco
Examiner She voluntarily relinquish-
ed her rights as a native-born Califor-
nian yesterday to become as nearly
as possible an all-around Chinese, like
her husband.
The records of the local Chinese
bureau are lacking in cases similar
to that of Mrs. Wong Sun Yue. She
will be subject to the laws OF China
when she chooses to visit that coun-
try, and when she comes home she
will be subject to the regulations OF
the immigration and restriction laws.
Mrs. Yue, who renounced her citi-
zenship to become Chinese mer-
chant, said:

Children are especially liable to acute

One reason why Peruna has found per-
