sively employed In this edifce which Is
designed to stand for ages. Indeed, the
shell of the Mausoleum has rough. walls
of concrete, throughout reinforced with
steel as necessary and faced with the
pink granite and other materials above
mentioned.
The interior Of the tomb has a column
mar treatment and the lighting is entirely
from above. the opening being SO proper
toned to the space to be lighted that
certain solemnity of effect is attained.
Within the tomb Is the double sar-
cophagus where the bodies Of Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley will hence
forth repose. The main portion of this
sarcophagus is of brick and cement but
the exterior is wholly of black polished
granite The two caskets to be placed
within the sarcophagus are exactly alike;
of solid bronze and among the finest
ever constructed.
The Mausoleum, however. does not by
any means constitute the Memorial In its
entirety There are landscape and sup
Elementary features of notable character
and indeed, no monument In the world
has more attractive setting than this
tribute at Canton. A great concrete
lined lagoon or basin constitutes the prin-
cipal approach to the tomb and serves
as unique feature. The lagoon or Long
Water" as 1t is technically termed, is
about 500 feet in length and varies in
width from 35 to 65 feet. 1t widens
gradually as it approaches the tomb SO
that the vista includes the whole width
of the grand staircase leading from the
waters edge to the\portal of the tomb.

water, thus affording an unobstructed
view OF the approach and of the Mauso-

crowns the hill there is grand stair

~ HE beautiful little city Of Canton,
n Ohio, famous as the lifetime home
- and final resting place of the late
President Mckinley has had many days
Of notable ceremony In the past dozen
years Of her history but none probably
which can compare in Significance with
the coming Monday. The occasion is the
dedication by President Roosevelt, and
all the most prominent public men of the
nation of the Mckinley National Memo
rial-the 100000 tomb erected by popu-
lar subscription as a final tribute by the
American people to one Of their most be-
loved rulers.
Preparations which have been In prog
ress for months past have sought to make
the ceremonial dedication, itself, indica-
tive by Its solemnity of the esteem In
which the nations third martyr President
Is held by his day and generation. Aside
from this, however, is the fact that the
new Mausoleum is of compelling interest
as one of the most magnificent memorials
in existence Not only is it by far the
most pretentious of all the monuments
erected over graves Of Presidents of the
republic but from an engineering stand
point 1t Is the greatest monumental un-
dertnking of recent years.
The program of exercises which has
been arranged for this nnal day Of Sep
tember at Canton Is quite elaborate. 1t
provides, among other things for an Inn
posing military and civic parade as an
escort OF honor In the transfer of tho
bodies of President Mckinley and his
beloved wife from the receiving vault

is plaza 200 feet in width. This gen
eral plan, 1t will be observed suggests Q
cross and a sword, the architect having
sought a symbolism appropriate to the
Memorial of one who was a martyr and
q President In time Of war. In order,
however. not to distract attention from
the Monument beyond the plasa ID laft

A conspicuous feature Of the Memorial
is the location at the head Of the grand
staircase and fifty feet In front Of the
facade of the Mausoleum Of statue OF
the martyr President. The modelling Of
this heroic size bronze figure was entrust-
ed to Charles Henry Niehaus, the well
known sculptor and his conception Of the
subject has been warmly praised All
about the Memorial there fs disposition
of trees that add materially to the hAr-
mony of the picture.
A large proportion of the thousands Of
visitors who will be In Canton this week
will pay visit to the old home Of Presi-
dent Mckinley which through the gener~
osity of the friends and relatives Of the
martyr President has now been converted
into a memorial museum and patriotic
shrine, somewhat after the plan followed
in the case Of Gen. Washington's home
at Mt. Vernon. Not only Is this cosy
frame house, SO often referred to as the
Mckinley cottage Of interest In itself
but it Is filled with mementoes Of the
late President and his invalid wife, Yet
another point of interest is the First
Methodist Episcopal Church of which Nc
Kinley was a member and from which
stately edifice his funeral was held. This
place Of worship is a particular magnet
for the visiting throngs by reason Of the
fact that Mrs. Mckinley shortly before
her death caused to be placed IN the
church magnificent memorial windows In
tribute to her husband.

The present crusade for the deepening
and improvement Of the channels OF our
inland rivers Is no newborn scheme. The
subject has been agitated with more or
less energy at intervals for many decades
past However. several circumstances
have lately combined to enfor-e more se-
rious attention to the matter on the part
OF the whole country than has heretofore
been accorded It. For one thing, "a re-

Mississippi Valleys have naturally heen
tempted to turn for relief to the great
highways for water-borne commerce
lying practically neglected at their doors.

Even more potent as a factor In arousing
, sentiment on the subject is the growing
realization of the possibilities open to
such system Of waterways as feed
err of the new Panama Canal commerce.
With adequate channels for our inlan4
waterways, steel from the mills at Pitts
burg, wheat from the farms Of the Mid
die West and manufactures from the
shops at st. Louis could be delivered in
the markets of the Orient at cheaper
prices than could be quoted by the mer-
chants of any rival nation.
The possibilities OF the field and the
pressing need for action led President
Roosevelt some months ago to appoint the
bers OF which are now to accompany him
for personal inspection Of their new
held OF labor. The Chairman Of the Com
mission is Congressman Theodore b. Bur-
ton Of Ohio who has been for years past

is to be carried out Is yet to be deter
mined. Indeed. to devise ways and means
is one of the duties of the board OF ex-
perts with whom President Roosevelt Is
now to go into consultation on the spot.
The supreme question concerns the depth
of channel that is to be striven for. Some
Of the most optimistic advocates of the
Improvement Of our inland waterways are
clamoring for navigable channel fourteen
feet In depth, throughout the greater por-
ton of the Mississippi's length.
Especially is this deep channel sought
by the champions of Lakes to Gulf
waterway. Ever since the completion Of
the Chicago Drainage Canal these enthusi-
asts have dreamed Of a chain of inland
waterways whereby freight could be moved
by steamer and without breaking bulk
from Buffalo, CLEVELAND and other ports
at the eastern end Of the Great Lakes to
New Orleans and West Indian harbors,
and perhaps to even more distant des-
tinations. The Drainage Canal would be
connected with the Mississippi through
the Desplaines and Illinois Rivers and in
one estimate that has been made the en-
gineers figure that the expenditure OF
$27, 900, 900 would secure a uniform four
teen foot channel all the way from The
unsalted seas to tide water. Yet another
scheme is that for a canal; for which
survey has already been made. to connect
the upper Mississippi with Lake Superior.
Whatever be the depth OF channel hnal-
" determined upon there Is no doubt that
once our inland waterways are improved
we will be treated to some miraculous
performances in the economical movement
OF freight. Already commodities are
moved on the Interior waterways OF
America at lower cost than anywhere
else In the world. Just by way OF illus-
capped as our rivermon are at present,
they now move freight. on the basis Of

GRIEVED BUT Nor DISAP-
 POINTED.

The reiterated reports from Wash ington that there will be no statehood legislation in the present session of congress serve only to remind us of our grief without awakening the emo ton of disappointment. We know of nobody who believed at any time that there would be any statehood legisla- tion. There was never a more unprO- pitious time for it. Both houses of congress are less disposed to state making than they have been for years and we may add less disposed to any sort of legislation. There is nobody of great influence urging the admission of the territories at this time and it could hardly be expected that congress would gratuitously take up the subject and favorably consider it.
 Our New Mexican friends keep up a semblance of hope which one would wish might not be misplaced but the prospect Of the admission of that ter ritory at the present session -ppears no more roseate than our own chance. However our congratulations are on tap and they will flow freely If occa- sion offers.

MINE ASSESSMENT WORK.

There is still some doubt regarding the precise status of the bill passed by the senate last Saturday on the eve Of adjournment suspending the re- 0uirement Of assessment work on mines for the year 1907. Mining men and others who have followed con- gressional proceedings closely are not sure whether any action had pre- viously been taken by the house on the measure.
 However. there is no doubt about what Arizona mine owners will have to do. They will have to do the work as usual for the bill as passed does not apply to this territory at all. The bill passed on Saturday at the request of Senator Teller is applicable only to the states of California. Colorado. Ore gon. South Dakota and Idaho.
 The first measure introduced in each house was intended to affect all the mining states and territories, but the senate bill was amended by striking out from the provisions of the bill all but the five states above mentioned.
 The action or rather the want of action by congress is said tO have been anticipated by Arizona mine own CTS generally and that they have al ready done their work or are engaged in doing it.

There are fully 1000 men work ing in Cananea and the town is not in such sorry plight as it has been represented to be-"
 This was the statement made by Col J. B. Breathitt who is the pro- prietor of the leading hotel in Canan- ca to the Tucson Citizen. Col. Breat- hitt arrived in Tucson last evening from Cananea. having come here to attend to some personal business mat ters.
 The Greene Cananea company is thoroughly overhauling all its smell ters and is making preparations for resuming operations on an extensive scale When the shelter improve ments are completed the plants in this line will be equal to those any where in the country. They will be capable of turning out twice as much copper product as formerly and at a great saving.
 Improvements are noticeable also at the mines which are being put in first class shape. Tunnels are being cemented and repairs are being made generally.
