CANAL IS LIKELY TO BE
FINISHED IN FIVE YEARS

Washington.-The Isthmian canal
commission gave out an official state
ment today which apparently demon
strated that the canal will be finish
ed much earlier than January, 1915,
by Colonel Goethals, engineer in
charge. The statement shows that
since May 1, 1904, 53,78S,393 cubic
yards have been excavated from the
canal prism. The engineers estimate
that there remains to be excavated
88,211.407 cubic yards, which, when
completed, the 85-foOt level will be
within a short time realized.
Although more than half the work
yet remains to be done, future exca-
walton will be increased month by
month. so that in all probability the
whole excavation will have been COM
pleted by 1913. y
The number Of yards excavated in
October was 3,2S2276. The amount
excavated in October, 1907, was g.
158,88G.

a shed loft at her grandfather's Mr.. Lent
Perkins, on Monday, fell from a window
hole down 20 feet striking on the ground.
One arm was broken below the wrist
and one limb severely injured. She is a
bright little girl and has the sympathy of
all.
Miss Loretta Thompson is visiting at
Rev. Mr.. Slocum's at Salisbury.
Schools will begin the winter term on
Monday.
From present appearances our town
will get its share of business. The tele-
phone central will be busy, with 100 or
more patrons; this coupled with good
grocery business, will make this stand a
busy one. Shaw Bros. store in connec-
ton with the old grist mill will have a
fine business, if Otter Creek does not run
dry. Preparations are being made at
Fisk * Sons for good business. Though
the pulp mill is now running on short
time, will no doubt run full time before
long. Farmers are quite cheerful, though
barns and graineries are not as well filled
as they are wont to be. The water
supply is lower than ever before, and
most of the wells and springs are dry.
Old Otter must supply the need, though
In some cases this means going for miles
for water.

All were satisfied however, that there should be work given to the men rather than charity
 Just what will be done is an open question. but with the experience that the gentlemen I have invited to advise with me. will be able to bring to bear, I see no reason why the present deplor- able conditions among the poor of the city cannot be at least alleviated, said the mayor yesterday afternoon. ].
