Need of a Bigger Canal.

Those who hive argued that the
Panama canal should be constructed
with view to maritime conditions in
the future have fresh ammunition in
the present tendency to mammoth con-
struction in battleships and other YES
sells which will wish to sail across the
isthmus. Already the construction of
ships which could not pass through
the locks now being built has been
begun. Progress in shipbuilding may
be expected to bring about still larger
ships before the canal is completed. a
period at least five and probably ten
years ahead of us.
The natural suggestion for this emer-
gency Is enlargement of the locks,
which, according to present plans, are
but few feet wider than the widest
ships now on the stocks. But the mere
matter of enlarging the locks already
planned would cost millions of dol
lars. And the size deemed ample for
the accommodation of the largest ships
afioat or under construction today NAV
bar out the large ship of 1915 or 1917.
The sea level canal proposition was
lost In the last congress by a very few
votes, and it may be that when the
legislators of the Sixtieth congress are
brought face to face with this apparent
objection to lock canal they will de-
eide upon sea level canal. 1t will
take more time and more cash. but the
result will be deep strait connecting
the waterway of the Atlantic with the
waterway Of the Pacific and one sery-
iceable forever.

rades OF the trail who went overland
10 the Pacific slope In the days OF 40,
when the country was young and the
blood Of conquest flowed in the veins
OF the wilderness dwellers. He has
been encouraged along his way and
aroused such interest that he has es.
tablished suitable markers or monu
ments along the old trail all the way
from the western coast TO the Missouri
river. Crossing the Missouri he is
now on his way 10 Washington where
he hopes to induce the next congress

OF a national macademized highway
from coast to coast. He believes his
plan Is feasible and when his efforts
are over he will return 10 his home

hoped, he will bid good bye 10 sun

that a new trail is beating westward

kind have helped TO conquer. Mr..
