Excursion to Mt Mcclellan Aug. IA.

Greeley people are to have another
opportunity on Wednesday. August
H. to make the marvellous trip to
the summit of Mt. Mcclellan. This
wonderful trip is fast becoming the
Mecca for the many thousands OF
tourists visiting Colorado and Is pro-
uounced by most competent judges
TO be the greatest one-day scenic
rrip in the world The natural Ice
palace excels in beauty the glacier
caves of Switzerland, while the
Stairway to the Clouds the only
place in the world where one may
see seven railway tracks one above
another, is conceded to be one OF the
scenic marves of the age. From
the summit of Mt. Mcclellan the
range Of vision is so great that one
may clearly see the Angora range OF
mountains far out on the Utah line
and the Big Horn range In Wyoming,
while Pixies Peak to the south and
the lake dotted plains far east Of
Denver are visible.

INSURANCE LEGISLATION.
Commissioner Maefarland to Ask
Action by Congress.

In view of the large increase In fire
insurance written by companies which
have no agents here, Commissioner Mac
farland has taken up again the PROPOSE
ton for legislation which WI require out
side fire, marine and casualty insurance
companies to do business here only
through legally authorized agents.
Two years ago the superintendent of
insurance. Mr.. Drake. prepared for Com
missioner Macfarland draft Of a bill
to cover the matter, after comforting with
a committee of the board Of fire under
writers Of the District of Columbia and
examining all the oest laws of the coun-
try. Action was deferred because of
the effort to get complete insurance
law covering all phases of the question
Commissioner Macfarland has decided
however. that as the enactment of such
a general law is likely to be deferred,
the effort should be made to secure at the
coming sessionsof Congress legislation to
protect the interests OF the District with
respect to the matter He has therefore
obtained from the superintendent of in
surance a revised copy of the draft of
the bill made two years ago am will ask
the Commissioners to present 1t to Con-
gress at the opening Of the coming ses-
sion.

Jamestown Mans Notice to Mr.
Daniel e. Garres.

Daniel E. Garges, chief clerk Of the Dis
tr!ct engineer department and secretary
of the Rock Creek Park commission. who
has been making inquiries for several
weeks as to the possibility of purchasing
An old, picturesque, mOss-covered. over
shot wheel, to be installed at Pierce's g
MILL In Rock Creek Park, has received
word from a jamestown exposition con-.
cessionaire that he has Just the whee!
for Pierce's MILL"
The Rock Creek Park commission pro-
poses to restore this old mill to its former
appearance, and to do so 1t is necessary
to procure wheel to replace the one
which was destroyed several years ago
The construction of a new mill race will
also be necessary. AS secretary, Mr.
Garges has corresponded with several
persons regarding the purchase of an old
wheel, but had been unsuccessful, and he
hopes the offer received, which was from
G. B. Oxley, proprietor of the 'Old Vir-
ginia Corn Mil Restaurant at the James
town exposition, to sell an old wheel will
be accepted Mr.. Oxley invited Mr.. Garges
to visit the exposition and inspect the
wheel. Before making any trips Mr..
Garges will communicate with Mr.. Oxley
as to the size, price, condition and age of
the property. He does not want a new
wheel. 1t must be old and picturesque,
he says, to correspond with the mill.
Mr.. Garges received similar offer
from an old retired miller in the northern
part of Maine, but had to dec inc because
of the distance he would have to travel
to personally examine the wheel.

FIVE YEARS REQUIRED.
Estimated Time for Digging the
Panama Canal.

The Panama canal will be completed in
five years or little more, barring earth
quakes other calamitous visitatons.
This prediction was made by Mr.. D. E.
Fulton, an official of the Panama canal
commission. who has just returned from
the isthmus. He declared that last month
was a record breaker as to excavating.
Notwithstanding the fall rainy season was
at it's height
In September" said Mr.. Fulton. more
than 1,O0O,OO0 cubic yards of earth was
excavated from Culebra cut. There Is an
average of 120 dirt trains each day car
rying the excavated earth to the big
dump at Tabernilla, sixteen miles away,
and to other smaller dumps"
He added that Col. George w. Goethals
of this city. chief engineer OF the Pana
ma canal commission, Is making good
on the vast job by personally superin
tending the operations. Mr.. Fulton spoke
Of Col. Goethals personal popularity with
the workmen and officials and declared he
was omnipresent, giving personal atten-
ton to all the details.
Mr.. Fulton returned from Panama on
the big English steamer. Dunnottoe Castle
Of London, which has been chartered by
the canal commission.

EXCURSIONS.

Interest in the great jamestown ex-
position is growing apace, if the traffic
via the superb Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat COmpanys vessels furnishes
any indication. Both the day and night
liners on this route are crowded to their
capacity, and frequently the demand for
staterOUms is much in excess of ac-
commodations that there is unavoidable
delay for some tourists. For this reason
staterooms are best engaged in advance
The daylight trips down the noble Po-
tOmac are especially popular, the historic
associations of the numerous places along
both the Virginia and Maryland shores
affording constant diversion for the trav-
eler. After entering the Chesapeake
there are the interesting shipping, the
battleshipS and historic forts. PaSsen-
gers on day and night boats are landed
directly at the exposition pier. The daily
sailing hours are am. and $50 pm.

HONESTY IN SPECULATION.
Question Debated Last Evening by
Twentieth Century Club,

The Twentieth Century Club of the
Young Mems Christian Association, which
is composed of those who meet at the as
sociation building once a week and dis
cuss problems of modern times, particu-
larly those dealing with economics, moral
ity and social conditions. met last night
for the first time this season. The sub
ject discussed was Can an Honest Man
Speculate?' The meeting was called to
order by Harry w. Arnold, religious sec
retary of the association, and DR.. C. w.
A. Veditz, dean of the school Of political
sciences Of George Washington Univer-
sity, took charge of the discussion.
1t was not definitely decided at the
meeting whether or not an honest man
can speculate. The greater part of the
time was taken up in defining honesty and
the meaning of speculation. The conclu-
sions reached were: If a speculator does
not deal in an actual product, but simply
buys and sells on a gamble II there Is no
commensurate labor represented in the
speculation, and If the speculation brings
harm to an individual, whether known or
unknown to the speculator, then the spec
ulator may be looked upon as a dishonest
citizen.
Recent developments in legal hearings
regarding the operations of the Wall
street magnates and the recent raids on
the local bucket shops have brought this
question of speculation vitally before the
public, and it was for this reason that the
Twentieth Century Club selected the sub
ject for its initial discussion of the sea-
son. Charles F. Nesbit is the president
of the club Next week the subject will
be: Are the Ten Commandments Bind
ing?" Other subjects to be taken up in
the future are: rs Lying Ever Justiti-
able?' lis the United States a Christian
Nation?' who is the Successful Man?''
rs There Just System of Taxation o.
Can an Honorable Man Make Love In
discriminatory? rs Mans Duty to So
ciety Greater Than to Himsef?" lis Cap
ital Punishment Right?" and Are We
Punished for Our Sins?
The club partakes of the nature of an
impromptu debating society," and all the
members take part. The next meeting
will take place October o.
