Teller Bill Killed.

Washington.-Senator Carter put =
quietus Wednesday, upon Senator Tell
ers bill to relieve entrymen of min
ing claims from forfeiting their en-
tries for failure to perform assessment
upon them during the year 1907. The
principal objections to the proposed
legislation were that It would afford
no relief to bona fide prospectors and
miners. but would give opportunity to
speculators and corporations filing
upon groups of claims. to use them as
a basis for promoting fake mining COM
panies to bleed innocent investors.
When a quorum was obtained. but
before the vote was called for on bill,
Carter moved to go into executive ses-
sion, which was adopted. AS the Sem
ate will have but one more sitting this
year and under agreement, will trans
act only routine business on that day.
there will be no further opportunity to
pass the bill within the time 1t would
be effective to prevent forfeiture Of
claims for failure TO perform this

tered vigorous protest against the
abandonment of Del Norte as land
Office location and asked for its CON
tnuance. He called the attention OF
Secretary Garfield to growth OF farm

and predicted that the receipts of tho
Office would increase rather than d.
minish. Returns from the Del Norte
office show that the receipts last year
were $12.400 and expenses $1,000. 1t

Francis G. Blair, state superinten-

courtship should be taught in the pub

edge of the practical affairs of life.
He thinks great progress could be
made by having children take the
parts of Priscilla, Miles Standish and
John Alden, or by investigating the
loverlike qualities of Enoch Arden. 1t
may be doubted. however. whether
there is any practical need of this

PANAMA CANAL
WIDE ENOUGH
BUT CHAIRMAN GOETHALo 10
WILLING TO HAVE NAVY
FIX WIDTH.
BICGESTSHIPS
CHANGE IN DIMENSIONS WOULD
CAUSE DELAY AND IN
CREASE COST.

washington-Whil Col @. ".
Goethals, chairman and chief engineer
Of the Panama canal commission. BE-
lieves the width OF the locks. 100 feet
Ia ample for the largest vessels OF tho
navy, he says:
THE engineers of the Panama canal
commission are perfectly willing that
the locks should be widened to any
extent that the navy thinks necessary.
We shall In a measure leave It to the
navy to settle the question. thereby
making It matter of naval expedi-
ency as to how wide the locks shall
be-"
This will be the attitude which the
Panama canal commission will take
on the proposition which has been re-
ferred to the members OF a widening
of the locks of the canal to ITO or 100
feet, as may seem best. according to
the statement by Col. George w. Goe-
thals today.
Colonel Goethals says that so far as
is known at present, width OF 100
feet for the locks will accommodate
mercantile shipping for years to cCStIe.
and that 100 feet Is ample for all naval
construction now building or pro-
posed. A naval vessel that is ninety
eight feet beam. allows eight feet more
than the latest batueships proposed
and could get through a 100-foot lock
without trouble.
The less leeway a boat has in tho
lock, Colonel Goethals thinks. the safer
1t is, both to the boat and the lock
during lockage. because the emptying
and filling cause swirls which, Il too
great, may result In some damage.
The question of increasing the width
OF the locks is one that more properly
belongs to the navy to determine. II is
suggested by him, and If the efficiency
of battleship that can use the 100-foot
locks Is materially less than one re-
Quiring no feet width, there is no
question that the 11O-foot lock should
be adopted. 1t is pointed out that tho
questions involved in any widening OF
the locks are Increased cost and the
longer time required for filling. thereby
decreasing the capacity of the canal
and the effect on the water supply
for 1t.
1t is declared that the commission Is
ready to do whatever the President
and his naval advisers think best. as
the work at present is in such shape
that the increase in width can be mado
without any detriment to the work or
undoing any which has thus far been
done.
The completion OF the Gatun dam
will determine the time for compiet-
ing the entire canal. Work on the dam
has already been begun. but investiga
tions are still in progress to determine
the localities from which suitable ma
terials can be obtained for its con-
struction. The time for completing this
/ Culebra cut and the locks can be accu-
rately figured out. the only unknown
factor being the time for completing
the Gatun dam.
1t is the purpose to reduce the ex-
cavation in the Culebra cut to linn
tied amount monthly, SO as to bring
about the completion of all parts Of tho
canal approximately at the same time

There is some compensation in not
being king IL man can be a captain
of industry or retired diamond mine
owner. There is too much ceremony
about the job of king to suit the av-
erage mortal. Does royalty never get
a chance to relax? The king not only
must be every inch a king. but he
must be a king every minute Some
body whom he has never met, but who
must have had a grim sense of humor,
has prescribed etiquette for him which
he must follow every waking minute.
We fancy there is some formula which
he must snore by also. Even when he
travels incognito he has to send ahead
description of his clothes and the
way he spells his name to the chiefs
of police of the cities in which he ex-
poets to stop. No wonder the king of
Spain took off his coat and threw 1t
away when out hunting. The only
wonder is that he did not throw a
brick at the person who reproved him
for IL.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Dec. %.
Trade was very good during the
early part of last week but late in the
week there was sharp falling on in
the demand owing to near approach
OF the holiday season. Prices closed
cattle and the poorer grades show
even more decline. Eastern markets
all report light demand and lower
prices and practically everything for
shipper money. Choice beef steers
from the feed lots sold here last week
at $3.50 and some choice cows brought
$3.50 to 1885. These prices, however,
were exceptions and choice western
slope steers brought S4.30 with bulk
of the good steers at $3.50 to $500, and
most of the good COWS selling at s2.75
to 1925. Bulls sold at $500 to $2.70. a
little stronger than last week. Veals
were strong with tops at $500. Feed
ers and stockers sold around $3.25 to
1915 for bulk of good ones with choice
steers up to $500.
The hog demand was very fair and
prices at the close of the week range
from $4.35 to $40, a little higher than
week ago though lower than the
middle of the week.
Receipts Of sheep and lambs were
light and little trading done. The
local demand is very good and prices
remain about the same as a week ago.

Last week Thursday night, Decem-
Der 9Th, Mr.. Howard Hudson was or
dlined minister OF the gospel in the
Union Church. Mr.. Hudson was IL
censed 20 preach some years ago in
his home church, Baptist, In Massa-
chusetts. Since coming to Berea he
has been doing splendid and efficient
Christian work in Blue Lick. Marrow
Gap and Ferristown. IL was thought
by the Union Church that his work
might be still more effective II he
were formally set apart and ordained,
and so a few weeks ago the church
voted to do this and appointed a COM
mittee to arrange a time and program.
The program arranged was q very
interesting one and was enjoyed by
a large audience. IL was opened with
the doxology and invocation by DR..
Thomson. "Coronation" was sung.
Dr. Thomson read an appropriate
scripture lesson from LIST Peter SILL.
Prof. Dodge offered prayer. Director
Rigby sung "He L,eadeth Me" a beau
tiful sacred solo. Prof. Dodge, clerk
OF the church, read from the minutes
the action OF the church authorizing
the ordination. Prof R1ine then
prnched a strong sermon on the text
Come with me and ! will make you
fishers OF men," Then President
Frost, Prof Raine. Dr. Cook. Prof.
Dodge and DR.. Thomson laid their
hands on MIR. Hudson's head as he
knelt and Or. Thomson offered ferv-
ent ordaining prayer. while the church

Frost then spoke OF the interest the

sung and the Rev Mr.. Hudson pro-
nounced the benediction, and was
then cordially greeted personally by
his many friends from the congregl-
