TO BRIGHT WORLD BEYOND
beautiful Young Girl. After Linper.
ing on Brink of Eternity
Passes Away.

Ihere Is nothing sadder in all this
world than the realization tbat a
young girl, one whose lovely and low
able being just budding from the han.
py state of girlhood into the glorious
world of young womanhood. has been
touched by the icy hand of the Angel
OF Darkness, and like the flower that
falls of the cold wind of the early
autumn this young young being bows
before the deadly touch and scenes
that have known her presence, know
her no more, and the loved ones at
home and the friends abroad realize
that she is gone for all earthly time
and have her with them in memory
only.
Such a life-endlng the Sentinel is
called upon to announce today.
This morning at 2:45 O'Clock Miss
Mary Haskins, aged q years,
months and four days, died at her
home two miles and half from
Grand Junction, on Orchard Mesa.
She was the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. G. Haskins. Mr.. Haskins be-
ing one of the best known ranchmen
of that section.
Eight weeks ago the young lady be-
came i'll with typhoid fever. she was
very Ill but after two weeks began
to improve and thought that she was
able to be up and out and at the
end of four weeks. Evidently she
got up too early and after being out
few days, happy in her freedom
from the sick bed and being greeted
by her many friends, there came a re-
lapse and the young lady had been
critically Ill for the past three weeks,
for days she has wavered between life
and death and this morning the end
came not Unexpectedly
There is much sorrow over the
death. Miss Haskins was very popu-
lar among the young people of the
city and was widely known here. She
held position in the Lindsay dental
parlors and was so employed for
some time in the Moody Jewelry
House. She was a very attractive
young lady, possessing many sweet
qualities.

WORK AT PANAMA.
Big Ditch May BE Dug Earlier Than
the Scheduled Date.

the Scheduled Date.
Official figures from Panama SHOW
that the work Oh the canal is being
pushed with considerable rapidlty
While the total amount of digging on
the Culebra cut was $4,000 cubic
yards in 1904 $4,000 in 1905, and 2,
663, 900 in 1906, it was 4,9S5,OOO in lo1
for the seven months which expired
with August. Thus more work was
done in seven months of 1907 than was
done In the preceding thirty-six
months and not far from double as
much as was done in 1906. These rec.
rrds will be particularly gratifying to
the country.
Some of the immense gain in the
pushing Of the canal is undoubtedly
due to the new experience which is
constantly being gained, but the great
or part of it is probably caused by the
increased efficiency of the military
regime over the civilian management.
A large part of the civilians energy
appeared to have been consumed in
talks for the press and in squabbles
between the various members of the
commission at Panama and each other,
and between the heads of the commits
sion and the authorities in Washing
ton. Since the entrance of the mill
tary men early in 1907 the procedure
has changed The order of the day
now is work and not talk.
If the work continues TO be left in
the hands of the army the predictions
about the time of the completion of the
canal may have to be shortened. Ac-
cording to the guess made recently by
Secretary Taft the boats will begin to
run through that short cut between tho
two oceans in 1916 or hereabouts. Pos
sibly this consummation may come
little sooner. New Orleans was recenE
ly talking about getting up an EXPOSE
ton to commemorate the completion OF
the canal, and fixed 1913 as the date
for it. The chief reason why 1918
was selected by New Orleans was that
that would be the Tooth anniversary Of
Balboa's discovery of the Panama 18th
mus. He was the first white man
who, from any point on the American
continent, looked down on the South
Sea. For sentimental as we'll as for
practical reasons the world would re-
joice to see boats run through Balboa's
Isthmus on the big anniversary. That
date is only six years away, but if the
authorities at Washington do not ham
per the soldiers who are doing the
work, the joining of the waters of the
Atlantic and the Pacific may take place
as early as that year.

Visibility of the men returning to

The meeting was characterized by
bitter exchanges between President
Small and other speakers. The latter
charged the national leader with in
consistency in first claiming that the
strike would be successfully financed
and Saturday admitting that the gen.
eral assembly was without funds, and
with having conducted the fight in a
half-hearted, dilatory way. Small tried
to explain his position, but was fire.

cFations.

Hampton G.. Westcott. vice presi-
dent of the standard Oil Company of
Kentucky, testified Monday in the
hearing OF the federal suit against the
oil combine that In several Of the
southern states the Standard had
found it expedient to sell much of its
products through companies which the
public believed to be independent
The practice of selling through so
called Independent companies which
were owned by the combine was dis.
continued two years ago, according to
Mr.. Westcott.
Mr. kellogg, counsel for the govern
inert, drew from the witness that the
Standard Oil Company of Kentucky
which acts as selling agent of oil in
Kentucky, Georgia. Mississippi Louisi-
ana, Tennessee and Alabama, has pur-
chased numerous small independent
selling companies and through many
of them sold oil to the consumer.
Some OF the plants Of these independ-
ents were dismantled and the business
taken over by the Standard.
Mr.. Westcott threw a side light on
the statistical department of the
Standard concerning which the feder-
al counsel has been seeking informa-
ton since the beginning of the inquiry.
Mr.. Westcott testified that each month
the main office of the standard OH
Company of Kentucky at Covington
sent to him not only the reports of the
business operations of thS Standard.
but statements concerning freight
shipments and sales of oil by all COM
panies.
