Nowadays the governor is beginning
to pay some attention to the plans for
the Republican congressional cam
paign. The House Republican caucus
recently unanimously designated him
for another term as member of the con-
Gressional committee, each state hav-
ing one member of that body. Gov.
Burleigll has served on that committee
for a number of years, ard has become
closely identified with the careful prep
arations that are MADE by it biennial
ly for the reelection Of Republican
House.
A part Of the time he has served on
the executive committee, which has to
do with the more important work of
preparation. AS this is a presidential
year and the election in Maine, COM
ing very early, will be regarded by the
country as significant. cHGrtS will be
made to run the four congressional
campaigns in Maine very thoroughly,
to inform the voters on the issues and
20 roll up good majorities. The con-
2ressional committee will rely largely
uron GOV. Burleigh regarding the
necessary work in Maine.

The Finances Of Nevada.


The Goldield Nevada News, of which
we have the privilege of seeing an oc-
casional copy, protests that whatever
may be the shortcomings Of Nevada
and is is hardly TO be disputed that the
state possesses them in abundance-no
state in all the Union can make bet
ter financial showing. The News pre-
sents figures to back up this claim and
declares there is no state that has bet
ter financial credit: no state that has
SO little Indebtedness; no state that
has so large property valuation per
capita, or is making such large per-
centage of gain in valuation from year
to year: no state that has q larger
school fund, per capita, and lower
state tax rate
Nevada does not owe a cent to any
atcd debt. and will have surplus
Of from 100000 to $500. 900 in the state
year. Certainly there are few states
which are in such happy condition as
that. Not only is Nevada without
dollar of Bonded Indebtedness, but on
the other hand she owns bonds OF
Other states in which she has invested
her surplus school funds to the amount
OF hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
Even Massachusetts which the News
declares always wraps her draperies
tight around her and reaches for the
smelling salts when Nevada is men,
toned" is in debt to Nevada to the
amount of $780, 600 as evidenced by the
bonds held in the school funds of Ne
vada.
Nevada. which gave golden promises
of wealth and greatness when admit
ted as 4 state. struck the toboggan
soon afterwards. and in 1908. which the
News speaks Of as the beginning OF
the states revival. its valuation was
only HS3. le1.bSS OF ABOUT nan the pres
ent valuation of the city of Portland.
Maine In the i years since that time
the valuation of the state has been
making handsome strides so that in
1907 it was sIi,9S6.aSl. q gain of 100 per
cent
This. of course is small, sum as
compared with the valuation Of any
otner state in the Union. but it is at
least more than the valuation of Ne
vada used to be and there is some en-
enlargement in that fact. Moreover,
our Goldfield contemporary is abso-
luteiy confident that the increase will
continue indefinitely and that the gain
will be no less than $4,000. 900 during
the current year. The total popula-
ton of the state, even by the liberal
estimate of the News. is only 10000
which allowed n per capita wealth OF
$1,000 last year. So, although there is
abundant ground for feeling that Ne
vada ought to be relegated back into
the list of territories. if such a thing
were possible. it is not to be denied
that its financial status is o. X. Even

The Progress at Panama.

The Canal Record, which seems to
be the official publication at Panama
announces that there are no more JOBS
waiting men in that part Of the worid.
On the contrary, the supply or laooF
on the canal now exceeds the demand.
This has been true only short time,
for most of the time since the work
was undertaken the problem Of enough
labor. or at least enough labor of the
right kind, has been an ever present
one. This condition of things comes
about because a considerable reduction
of the canal force has been made of late,
not among the laborers upon the canal
itself but among the carpenters, enSi-
neers, mechanics, clerks, etc, VINO
have been engaged in municipal I'M
proven,ents, erection of buildings and
other occupations incidental to the
canal work proper.
The present announcement there
fore indicates that the needed hotels
and other buildings have been erected
the streets have been paved, water and
sewer systems have been constructed
and other tasks related to the canal
enterprise, but not directly involving
the excavation of the prism, have been
disposed of. There remains now chief
ly the actual digging Of the canal, and
that is as we have hitherto shown.
making far more rapid progress than
was ever expected.
The reduction of force will mean 4
larger reduction of eX-
penses, since the men whose work is
thus finished have received higher
wages than the rank and file of labor
ers on excavation. But it will mean no
abatement of progress on the canal.
Indeed, We may expect to see some
upon even the present
rate of excavation, since
the sanitary conditions are being so
much bettered as materially to lessen
the sick list and the consequent i'm
pairment of efficiency OF the working
force. Colonel Gorgas reports a stead
ly decreasing death rate and sick rate.
not Only among the white employees
but also ana even more among the
negroes, so that now the rates among
he latter are little higher than among
he former--a result both gratifying
and surprising.
On the whole the American people
may well be satisfied with the splen-
lid progress being made at Panama.
The Isthman canal for which the
world has been waiting for centuries
will be Il reality in the near future and
hen it will no longer be necessary Tor
or any other kind, to
ravel around South America in order
o get from the eastern to the western
,oast of the United States.

nomenal Only eight years ago the
business was started in a small way
BY Z. A. Strout, and four sales were
made the first year. During 1907. 4
total OF thrty-nine thousand people,
who were in the market to buy farms,
called or wrote to their New York,
Philadelphia and Boston Offices. Dur
ing the past year this company sold
over Six Hundred farms in twelve
states and now have over Six Thou
sand properties for sale located from
Maine to Florida
More business is being done in
Maine (the birthplace of the COM
pany) than in any other State. The
sales in that State are steadily in
creasing from year to year. Our state
has been advertised broadcast by the
company during the past seven years
as productive farming State, and
during the past year they have IS
sued and distributed Two Hundred
Thousand (2oo,ooo) pieces of printed
matter booming Maine. Mr. Strout
says that as result Of the money
panic many men are calling at his va
rious Offices who wish to invest their
money in farms where they know it
will be safe.
