IMMENSE TRACT
OF RICH LANDS
ALLEGED HELD BY SOUTHERN
PACIFIC WHEN 1T SHOULD
BE OPENED.

WASHINGTON, MAY % Senator
Bourne. OF Oregon. again consulted
with the President today about the
case of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
which he charges is holding up APP
proximately 100000 acres OF public
land, much of which is in Oregon,
that should be opened tc settlement.
The Senator says that grants cover
ing the land. which were originally
for 100000 acres, were made with
the understanding that the land should
be opened up to settlement at NOM
inal price per acre. A great deal of
It, he says. was sold for SIS an acre
and half OF it was withheld from sale
altogether. In the meantime the
progress Of the country is being re-
tarded and he intimates that the rail-
way company is holding the land for
speculative purposes. Mr.. Bourne is
urging that legal proceedings be in
stikuted to compel the company to
dispose of the land.
The Department of Justice has for
some time had under consideration
the question of certain lands held by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany in Oregon under grants to rail
road companies which have been abb
sorbed by the Southern Pacific. a
preliminary report on the matter has
been made by Nathan V. Harlan, UNI
ted States Attorney for the Third d.
vison of Alaska, who has engaged in
the investigation while absent from
his post of duty on account OF Ill
health. Mr.. Harlan will now return
to Alaska, and the Attorney General
will designate B. d. Townsend, AS
sistant United States Attorney, at
Fargo, to carry on the work If Mr..
Townsend can arrange to leave his
official duties for that purpose.

MAN FOR LIFE.

It is not a fact, as is generally be-
lieyed that Senator Tillman lost MS
left eye while fighting in the Confed-
crate army. 1t is true that ne was
deprived of that useful organ while
nominally a private in the ranks OF the
confederacy, and it was this that kept
him from actively participating In the
closing bloody ARRAYS of the civil war
He Joined the army in 1864, when ne
was only seventeen years old, and was
at the time suffering from an abscess
Of the left eye that laid him low in
hospital, where he avs detained I'M
der the watchful care OF phys'-
clans lest he lose his life. 1t was THIS
abscess that destroyed the eye. IL IS
said that hard work as a student at
school. with the accompaniment OF eA-
cessive strain on the eyes, produced
the abscess. When he insisted upon

did not want to enlist him. After an
experience of only few days in camp
he was attacked by fever, the result
chiefly of the anemic condition OF MS

work at school. His life was despalred

and when he was able to move ABOUT
again he took up the actual work OF

WORLDS GREAT
CANALS
FAMOUS WATERWAYS OF CON-
MERGE, FACILITIES AND
CONNECTIONS.

There are nine great ship canals in
the world, says the Chicago Chronicle,
and all of these have been built within
the last seventy-five years. They are
the Suez canal, the Kronstadt and st.
Petersburg canal, the Corinth canal
the Manchester ship canal, the Kaiser
Wilhelm, the Elbe and Trave, the Wei
land and the two canals connecting
Lake Superior and Lake Huron De-
tween Canada and this country.
In a single year greater number
of ships pass through the lake canals
of the north than through the Suez
canal. though there is no doubt that
the latter is by far the most important
water link in the world. 1t is the
longest, being ninety miles from en-
trance to exit, and it cost more IMAM
500 100000 to build. About 4'OVO
ships pass through the Suez canal
annually. 1t takes eighteen hours
for a vessel to go the entire lengIn
of the canal. There are no locks, and
part of the route, about two-tnlrds
of If il made up of series of shall
low lakes
The Kronstadt and St. Petersburg
canal is altogether about sixteen
miles. including the bay channel IL
Is an important commercial waterway
and connects the capital OF Russia
with the Bay of Kronstadt.
After the construction of the Cor
NTH canal, which is only four miles
long a saving of ITS miles was maze
by ships sailing from Adriatic ports
A part if this canal was cut through
solid rock, and, short as IL is II LOON
nine years to build.
A direct route from Manchester
England, to the Atlantic ocean was
obtained by the digging of the Man
chester canal. From Manchester
ships now go through the artifcial
waterway to the Mersey river, ana
from there to the open sea. Ihls
canal is fitted with hydraulic locks
In our own country are three great
canals. all of them link between the
great lakes. The Welland connects
Lake Ontario and Lake Erie on the
Canadian side of the river. IL Is
twenty-seven miles long, and mas
twenty-five sets of locks.
