DIGGING A
BIG CANAL
OPERATION DISCUSSED BY THE
LARAMIE LITERARY CLUB
AT MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Suggested That Contract could Be Bet
ter Than Government Work, One
Speaker Maintaining That Many
Larger Enterprises Had Been Car
ried on Without Fuss,

The meeting of the Literary club
last night was devoted chiefly to the
discussion of the building of the Pana-
ma canal, especially in regard to the
problems confronted by the govern.
ment in the letting of the work by
contract. The subject was introduced
by j. T. Holiday, who spoke of the
fact that as a rule such work can bet
ter be done by men who make it a
business than by government officials.
All Bids Were Straw.
1t appeared to be the general opih,
ion of the club that such work in the
hands of the government would be
slower and cost more than if placed in
the hands of private individuals. Mr..
Holiday was, however, of the opinion
that the recent bids upon the work
submitted to the president were most
ly STRAW" bids, the big contractors
having formed a pool for the purpose
of securing the work nominally to one

ticipate.
Not Great Undertaking.
Mr.. Corthell stated that in his opin-
ion a great deal too much Importance
has been attached to the work upon
the isthmus, and that as a matter of
fact the task is not OF very much great
err extent han many other similar un-
~dertakings which have been brought
to a successful conclusion without the
world generally knowing much about
them or making any fuss over them.
Mr.. Corthell instanced the case of the
new canal which is being built at the
present time between Lake Erie and
the Hudson river in the state of New
York, an undertaking which will cost
one hundred million of dollars and will
carry a ship canal over hills and
through much difficult country.
Not as Big as Some.
This undertaking the world has
heard little Of although in extent and
Importance it is commensurate with
the Panama canal itself. There have,
said Mr.. Corthell, been a number Of
other equally large undertakings of
which the world has heard little until
they were accomplished.
The meeting last night was called
to order by E. N. Rogers, president
of the club, who appointed Lewis Ty-
void to take the chair and John Ernest
to act as critic.
Two Open Meetings.
The meeting next week is to be open
to the public and will be devoted to a
discussion of the work of the Ninth

 Always abreast with the times land generally ahead of them), the progress dout, N. Y-, have taken a big step in the right direction They have filed, in the U. s. Department of Chemistry at Washington, ID.

Each bottle of Fa- vorite Remedy, therefore, is absolute ly guaranteed not to to be adulterated or misbranded.
 Only the purest ingredients are em- ployed in the preparation of Dr Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy. It contains no opium, cocaine, morphine or any other poisonous or habit-forming drug. It has never been claSsed among the so-called "patent medicines" but is Q prescription used by Dr David Kenne- dy in his large private practice, long before he placed it before the public, | nearly 35 years ago. It is not secret, because 1t is the policy of the proprie- tors to give list of ingredients when ever requested. pr Kennedy's Favor ite Remedy, therefore ranks among the first of the standard family medi- cineS."
 From a small beginning the business | has grown to large proportions, and it's marvellous growth has been due to several reasons. In the first place, Fa- vorite Remedy has absolute merit. In the second place, pr David Kennedy and his sons have always advertised largely in daily and weekly newspa- pers, to assist them in spreading broadcast the merit of Fayorite Rem | edy. The result is that there is hard | ly family in the country that does not know of Favorite Remedy, and it | has thousands of warm friends, who praise it in the highest terms.
 The above firm is already receiving complimentary notices in the leading drug journals, and wholesale and re tail dealers in all parts of the country are congratulating them upon the new and progressive methods they have adQpfRd.
