portation to the Beaumont and con tiguous oil fields.
 West of this again Is Galveston bay, from which five separate water ways spread inland like the fingers of an outstretched hand. Of these Buffalo Bayou, which is now being deepened to allow deep-draught yes. sells to load and unload their foreign cargoes at Houston, the railroad cen ter of the southwest, and the Trinity river are the most important The latter could be made navigable for light-draught vessels ell the way to Dallas, 300 miles from tidewater.
 The canal at this point touches Galveston with its fine deep water harbor and docks, an ocean port of fast-growing importance.
 Beyond the Brazos is the much talked-of area generally particularized as the Gulf Coast country. the phe- nomenal productiveness of which is just becoming known. This region was recently given its first railroad.
 The value of the canal will be two fold. It will open a great deal of ter ritory that cannot be reached from the railroads and 1t will provide lower freight rates. The actual cost of transportation by water is only a third to fifth of what 1t is by rail. the ration of difference growing greater with the increased length of the haul. In the southwest there is an even greater difference in the charges, freight rates being high in Texas. It is estimated that if the canal were now in operation a saving of s3.0oo.- 900 a year to the shippers could be effected by its use.
 The intercoastal will connect the southwest with the great canal sys- tems of the north by the Mississippi and It's tributaries. More than 1000 miles of actual canal. besides the great lengths of connecting natural waterways. will thus give comprehen- sive water service from the chief commercial centers.
 A less important though interesting phase of the new canal is it's possl- bilities for pleasure trips. The region along its entire course is rich in re- sources, historical associations and picturesqueness and the climate is such that the trip could be made in January without discomfort

The American method with its relatively standardized output and dislike of changing production. is primarily responsible for the exist ence of many grades of goods which can be and are made in the United states for home trade. but which are supplemented by abormally large importations, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine~ But behind this lies a certain quality of short sightedness. to which reference was made in the previous paper-a view which concerns itself only with the present fiscal year. There is the same tendency toward capitalization on an assumed maximum earning ea- paeity in american manufacture as in American railroads. fortunately to a less degree and less generally. The desire for quick profits Is of course vorid-wfde and entirely proper. but 1t sometimes overreaches itself. In the long run the manufacturer who keeps in close touch with progress and is not afraid to vary his produc- ton to meet the worlds needs will win out ia the worlds markets. He mayhave to content himself with less profits in some given year and reckon on squaring himself in another. A quarter century, however. vin even tnIngs up.

For over year the price of wheat has been below the cost of produc- tion. although 1t was protected by tariff tax of 25 cents bushel. Now the price has advanced 30 per cent in consequence of the fear of a short crop. Do the republicans claim the advance is due to an all pervading republican prosperity produced by tariff protection? asks an interested one. If so, how do they explain the low price of wheat that has prevailed before the fear of unkindly nature caused the spectators to boost the price?

INLAND WATERWAY
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MILE
 ROUTE SOON TO BE READY.
Will Take Eighteen Months Steady Travel by Canoe to Go from Pittsburg to Browns
 ville, Tex.

The last congress appropriated se00, 900 for the completion of the longest inland waterway in the world. It is 1S,000 miles long and ex- tends from the waterways in New York and Pennsylvania down through the Ohio and Mississippi rivers into the gulf where connection is made with the intercoastal canal from New Orleans to Brownsville, Tex. This last named waterway is just being com pleted, and runs through the gulf coast country of Louisiana and Texas. With the possible exception of the railroad extensions being laid through this re- markable country the canal is the most important public work in the whole southwest. It is about 800 miles long. running from Donaldson vile on the Mississippi river a few miles above New Orleans to Browns vile. Tex. on the Rio Grande, at the most southerly point of the United States west of the tip of Florida pen insula. Of this 800 miles there are  less than 250 miles to be dug, the rest following the coast line through the channels. of bays and rivers al. ready navigable.
 The appropriation just made by congress in the rivers and harbors bill will not complete the canal but will open sections of considerable local importance. affording an effec- tive test of the feasibility and value of the scheme.
 From the Mississippi westward to the Sabine river, which marks the boundary between Louisiana and Tex. as. the canal viii tap several water ways that penetrate the great Louis lana pine forests and large areas of

lady Killed BY GAR
A Horrible Street Car Accident
at Charlotte. N. c.
FAIR YOUNG LIFE CRUSHED OUT
Miss Aileen Kendall, of Shelby, Run
Over and Instantly Killed by a
Fast Moving Street GarLMrs G.
B. Cabaniss Struck and Badly In
jured.

Charlotte, N. c.. speeial-Miss
Aileen Cabaniss Kendall, of Shelby,
was run over and killed by an Eliza
beth street car at the corner of East
avenue and@Myers streets Monday
night about 9:45 o'clock, and Mrs.
G. B. Cabaniss, of this city, was
painfully hurt. Mr.. Cabaniss, who
was accompanying his wife and niece,
escaped serious hurt by the merest
chance.
The accident S one of the most
distressing that ever happened in
Charlotte. Miss Kendall had just
arrived in the city from Raleigh.
where she had been a student at
the Baptist University for Women
during the fall, and was on her waq
home 10 Shelby. For several weeks
past she had been IN i'll health and
was returning home In order to re-
euperate. A niece Of Nh. and Mrs.
tabaHiss, she was to spend the night
with them and continue her jour
ney home Tuesday morning.
MI. and Mrs. Cabaniss and Miss
Kendall had just salighted from a
Myers street car in front of the East
Avenue Tabernacle and were start
ing across East avenue In the diree-
ton of South Myers street. After
passing around the end of the car
they stepped out on the parallel
Elizabeth track at the moment a
fast moving ear bore down on them.
The young lady was caught before
she could turn, and Mrs. Cabaniss
was struck and hurled to one side
like a stone from a sling. Owing
to the fact that the tracks were
slippery with water, the motorman,
Mr.. A. L. Baker, could not stop as
quickly as he otherwise would had
the tracks been dry. 1t is hardly
probable, however, that even if he
had that the unfortunate young lady
would have escaped. She fell under
the fender and vas dragged by the
wooden running board guarding the
wheels for perhaps 100 feet. Life
was extinct when the car was
stopped, death having been in
Simultaneous. AIRS. Cabaniss, while
sustaining neJbroken bones, was ter
bruised and painfully injured.
Mr.. Cabaniss, who was just a little
behind his wife and niece, escaped
by the narrowest of margins. A
small boy, half a block down the
said that he heard a mans
voice cry out at the moment of the
collision, my God, what has hap
pened 2" There being so much
confusion just at the time, he
that someone in the car had
been hurt.

Sugar Industry
In China

Il would seem that while enterpris-
ing Chinese have succeeded in foreign
countries in the sugar industry by
utilizing modern machinery and meth
DDS, there does not seem TO be any
disposition on their part TO introduce
the same methods at home and de-
velop the sugar industry in China
where labor is available at a much
lower price. whether this disposition
is warranted by the prejudices of the
great mass of the Chinese people or
the enterprising Chinaman finds it
more advantageous TO invest his capt.
tai and expend his energy abroad, the
fact still remains that the Chinese su-
gar industry must continue to lag and
foreign sugar monopolize the Chinese
market unless something is done. Com
menting on this rather remarkable
phase of Chinese industrial life the
Swallow correspondent of the North
China Daily News says:
1T is a pity that the Chinese will
not endeavor to put the sugar industry
on a proper basis. Their old obsolete
methods are no good in these days of
stern competition. Here we have labor
plentiful and cheap, but for once that
is not all; the cultivation and manu-
fact9re on a paying basis of sugar to-
day not only requires cheap labor but
also machinery, and that is where the
Chinese fail to compete successfully
with foreign sugars. Look at the
enormous loss of juice every year ow-
ing TO the obsolete methods Of crush
ing the cane; why, in an up~to-date
mill the cane comes from the rollers as
dry as a bone. but crushed here in the
old-fashioned mills at least a quarter
of the juice is lost. What is wanted is
small steam mills placed in the various
districts and for the farmer to sell his
cane to the millowners at a fixed price.
This is the system that has made
the cane growers in New South Wales
and Queensland wealthy, and thar
without cheap labor. There is no dis
trict in the world that is more suited
for cane-growing than this. with its
magnificent rivers and its wonderful
irrigation channels and its beautlful
soil, and there is no better paying crop
Anyhow the officials are moving in the
matter, and let us hope something will
be done, and that soon. and If they IL
take a tip from me they will get one
of the Chinese who has made fortune
at the game of owning small crush
ing steam mill in Australia or else
where land there are a few hundreds
of them) to give them a few wrinkles
as to how The business is managed,
and dnstead of the farmers losing
thousands of dollars as in the past
they will be making them. Far East
