Local buyers paid as high as 9255

Who Needs it Worse?

Who needs a thorough course of
Farm Bookkeeping and Business
Training worse than the farmer: No
one. That is just why the Tyler Com
mercial College is introducing in con-
nectiOn with its courses of Bookkeeping
and Business Training. a series of
lectures on systematic Farming and a
set of books specially adapted to
farm accounting. The farmer who at
the close of each days work makes a
complete record of everything done
during the day, its cost, ETC., is learn
ing to study the details of the bust
ness, to watch and Obrerve the little
things, and he is compiling valuable
information for reference. and at the
end of the year. he knows just what
each crop has cost him: where his
gain and losses come from, and by
his close study and application he
will the next year lessen the losses
and increase the gain. The farm
needs the trained mind as the store or
the railroad Office. The farmer needs
to be able to write a good hand. to
spell correctly, to figure rapidly and
accurately, to know how to write
deeds. or co know when they are pro
perly written, to write mortgages
notes, contracts, bills of sale. etc.
We would advise u young men who
are farming or who expect to farm to
give this matter careful consideration.
The Tyler Commercial College has
many young men taking this thorough
course of Bookkeeping and Business
Training with the sole aim of going
back to the farm and making the best
farmers in their community, and
leaders in all progressive movements.

this country that is devoting any at
tention whatever to this subject for

The Panama Canal Work.


of constructing a canal across
the Isthmus of Panama by the
Government of the United States
is heraided ad nauSeam as the
greatest work of the age. as the
most stupendOus enterprise, and
so forth. The president is con-
stantly sending special mes
sages to Congress on the subject,
vast sums of money r beng
uselessly squandered on mere
preliminary work, commissions
are constantly being appointed
and reorganized to look after the
work and engineers are being
selected and dismissed in rapid
succession. Even genial Secre-
tary of Taft and the Presi-
dent himself find it necessary to
occasionally take pleasant little
iunkets down to Panama to see
how the work. which has scarce
ly started as yet, is getting
along. The only practical way in
which work of the magnitude of
that in hand can be satisfactorily
carried out, namely, the building
of the canal by contract, has not
been resOrted to, and will not. be
resOrted to for the very obvious
reason that it would eliminate a
lot of people who hope to make
a lot of money and much reputa-
ton supervising the enterprise
on behalf of the Government,
and it would take the direct con-
troll out of the hands of the pres
ent very strenuous Federal Adj
ministratiOn.
1t is said this "stupendOus
work" will cost about 5000 900.
900, that is. it would cost that
much if done by contractors who
know their business, but it may
actually cost many times that
amount if done by the Govern
ment itself. There is rapidly
nearing completion in and
around New York a work far
more costly and far more dam
gerOus and difficult than the con-
structiOn of the Panama Canal,
yet very little noise is made over
it, even the New York papers
rarely even commenting upon it.
The network of railroad tunnels
under the waters surrounding
Manhattan Island is referred to.
These tunnels will cost, when
finally completed, fully $500, 900,
600, or three times the estimated
cost OF the Panama Canal. The
work has been in progress for
several years, and some of the
tunnels have already been sue
cessfully finished, yet all the
work has been done by contract,
without hitch or difficulty and
without any parade in Congress
or elsewhere.
1t certainly was a better plan
to intrust the construction of the
Panama Canal to the Army En-.
gineers than for the Government
to attemp. to do the work under
the supervision of a civilian COM
mission, but even the Army En-
gineers will not handle the work
as speedily nor as thoroughly as
would competent and responsible
contractors who have had vast
experience in organizing their
forces. in accommodating ma
terials and coping with the prac-
tical difficulties which all such
large enterprises develop. The
canal will have to be built in the
end by contract if it is built at

CHANNEL TOO WIDE.
Charles Blood smith Reports on Kaw
River Case.

Kansas City, Aug. z0.-The report of
Charles Blood Smith, special master in
the suits brought by the stock yards
and railway companies against the Kaw
valley drainage board to enjoin the is
suing of bonds for the improvement of
the Kaw river, has been made. Mr..
Smith finds that the proposed 1874 foot
channel is unTeasonably wide and on
that ground recommends the injunction
be granted He finds for the drainage
board on almost every other point.
Copies of the report were received by
Keplinger &, Trickett, attorneys for the
read at the meeting of the board last
night. The board and the corporations
have until next Monday to file excep-
tions to the findings, after which the
c. Pollock of the Kansas federal court.
Fine Point. of Law.
Judge Smith holds that the 734 foot
waterway is unreasonable" because
such width was only proposed between
the Fifth street bridge and the mouth
of the river and not through the en-
tire drainage district to Turner, Kan.
The objection is made because in the
future any attempt to widen the river
above the Fifth street bridge might be
defeated as this district is more thinly
populated than that in which the chan
mel was to be established. The report
says that the testimony in the case
showed that the river from the Fifth
street bridge to the mouth was for
merly much wider than it is now, but
it did not show how much wider it was.
A fine point of law is brought up in
that part of the report which holds that
the drainage board cannot condemn the
land occupied by the tracks of the Kan
sas City Southern railroad. Judge Smith
says that the board has power to con-
denim land across" the right of way OF
a railroad but not longitudinally or
along the right of way of a railroad as
was to be done in this case.
When the Bonds Were Voted.
Two years ago the people of the drain |
age district voted two bond issues, one
of $500 900 to remove Instructions from
the Kaw river and one of s325,000 to
esta blish width of 734 feet from the
mouth of the river to the Fifth street
bridge.
According to the report the board may
proceed to issue bonds. to dredge the
river and remove Instructions and may
order bridges raised or heightened but
before a channel or uniform width
can be established it must extend
through the entire drainage district or
from the mouth of the Kaw to Turner,
Kan. Even at this a. 734-foot width
would probably be defeated in court, as
the report says such a width is unrea- |
sonable, but is lent on a reasonable
width
