Crossing Lava Flow
OF Recent Days
Is One Unique
And Difficult
Experiences

north arm of the flow as bad as the
south arm. hut the traveller In the
opposite direction deems II the worst.
The explanation probably is that be-
tween the arms is a depression, SO
that, which ever way the traveller
goes. he takes what Is, to him, the
last part, uphill. This arm is about
two miles wide; then comes a
stretch a little better of about an
other two miles, and then the south
arm of the flow about mile wide.
But these distinctions are merely
matters of information. So far as
the automobiles is concerned, the
whole eight miles is abominable.
When the north arm Of the flow was
passed, the worst was thought to be
over. The, road was loose rubble,
certainly, but no difiiculty was ex-
pcrienced in getting through It, al
though It had to be taken on the low
gear. But at the last mile OF the
1907 flow, the southern arm, all for
mer experiences of bad road Except
the stretch out OF Waimea) faded
into insignificance.

but that is all. The grades are nu-
merous and steep. g.
Lava Flow Road
Imagine a road before II has top
dressing, the macadam lying loosely
for a depth of about foot or more.
Then remember these small rocks
have no weight. but are light and
brittle. and have numerous sharp,
knifelike edges. The wheels sink
into this rubble for distance OF five
or six inches. so that only on down
grades can the car travel on the
high gear. But even then one hest
tates. When the rate of speed is at
all fast, the car swings from side to
side Of the road. coming perilously
near the edge which has been built
up for about twenty or thirty feet.
At intervals OF about every hundred
yards the car has to mount a steep,
sharp incline. and go down the other
slope. The gar goes up in spurts.
and every few minutes one fully ex-
poets the engine to be killed even
though travelling on the low gear. {
The loose, light stones offer no re-
sistance to the rapidly revolving
hind wheels. The rubble is whirlcd
out from under them. till In the ma
ture of things the wheel strikes
something solid at last and jumps
forward two or three feet at jump.
It lands on another loose spot, and
/ the performance begins all over
again. Sometimes large boulders are
encountered, and at first they are
evaded, II possible. But soon they
are looked for as blessing In dis
guise, for the car goes over them
with steady pull that delights the
heart OF the fearful driver. Over
and over again, the car, when within
Il few feet of the top of steep in
cline. will stop, trembling and VI
brating with the violence of the
throbbing engine, then wins its way
almost inch by inch to the top.

follow a certain course. The front
right wheel ploughed through deep

deep and the engine died ignomin-
lOusly from overstrain. The three
men and ourselves tried pushing. but
without any success. We at length
got out by using our engine, and all
pushing at the same time. II took

The Democratic
Conclusion. parts stands for
Democracy; the Re

The Democratic party is the cham
pion of civil rights and opportunities

party of privilege and private monop-

the voice of the whole people and

Republican party is subseryient to the
comparatively few who are the benefi-
ei2ries of governmental favoritism.
We invite the cooperation Of all, re-
gardless of previous political afilia-

preserve a government of the people,
by the people and for the people and
who favor such an administration of

and his eyes. fierce and dark, ssemea to look through the bare walls of his dwelling-place to the great city that encompassed him on every side like sea.
 Sir Richard Gaunt, after an absence of five years, had returned to Eng land. Apart from the change in his personal apearance. due largely to the growth of his hair and beard his whole manner had so altered that no one could have ever identified him with the man who had left for Australia on the Santigan.
 Save that all changes in a mans life are due 10 the power of Supreme be- ing, no supernatural agency had been necessary for this change. The hours of agony on the raft, the new life lived among the simple workers of the des- ert. the long days spent in a journey across the wilderness, the illness which had reduced all physical resistance to the lowest ebb, 4he repentance, the knowledge of how a mans life should be lived--all these had been the seeds which might one day grow into a for est of sturdy trees The physical change had prepared the ground for the mental. and the mental for the spiritual.
 Then. after the recovery from an ill., ness which had brought the man near to death, there had come another year of solitude, in which he had been given time to grapple with the new prob lems that had arisen before his mind. And then nearly two years of wander ing in the desert with a band of Tau regs scarcely less savage than nature itself.
 And during those years the seeds of

thought grew hercely in a fertile soil. The new Ideas, at first small and inde- terminate, gradually formulated them selves Into 6 definite plan of action. The uncertain hopes and desires grew into fixed purpose.
 And when at last he reached a port. he resolved to return to England and do the work that be had been called upon to do.
 He worked his passage to London on a tramp steamer. and landed with four pounds in his pocket. It was a small amount for the campaign that lay be- fore him. but he thought that 1t would serve His fcreed was founded on the idea that >a great reformer should be life.
 But money would be wanted.
 There lay the essence of the whole scheme. the one practical difficulty in a campaign. which had it's motives in the highest inspirations of heart and intellect. It was confession of weak ness. but It was the truthful confes- sion of a man who realizes the strength of his enemy.
 A thousand years ago no money would have been required Eioquencs. fierce religious fervor, perhaps even the help of fire and sword--all these would have sufficed. But not, in the twentieth century. when the huge and hideous idol of money dominated the whole world, there could be no victory without the means of organizing q great Campaign. At the present time the words means denotes one thing. and one thing alone--money.

India and the Orient, and stopped the rich trade between the West and the East Thus 1t was that Columbus was led'to sail west in search of a passage which the Turks could not cut on. It started De Cana on his trip around the Cape of Good Hope. also in search Of another passageway to India and the East. The Panama Canal will not lead to the discovery Of another hemfsphera but as the closing of line of travel did lead to the discovery of our world. so the opening of new line of trav- el the canal will lead to the discovery of new worlds of commerce.
 The action of the Turks in cutting off route to the East ended the world-supremacy of Genoa, of Flor ence ,and of Venice. Their harbors, once teeming with shipping from the ends ofs the then known world were deserted and all but abandoned. Their commercial supremacy passed away for ever. And while they were losing their grip on the maritime situation. other cities began to rise and figure as the centers of the worlds commerce, So will 1t be with the opening of the Panama Canal. With deep waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. the whole of the vast Mississippi basin will find an outlet direct to the mar kets of the world Grain rates from Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City. New Orleans and Galveston to Pacific points will be cheaper than a railroad could ever give. The great central plains of Canada. with their vast output, and still vaster possibilities. of grain. will fnd it cheaper to reach Oriental mar kets by way of the Mississippi River and the Panama Canal. All of this will give the great Mississippi Valley an important position In the commercial affairs of the Nation even beyond that she already holds.
 Sir Walter Raleigh once exclaimed that the Nation which controlled the Bsthmus of Darien would rule the world. The fulfilment of the prophecy seems near. A United States water. way means a deep United States in- terest in the affairs of the Carribean,

 This man, however, walked straight on- and appeared to be perfectly sober. It was only when he came nearer that me reason for the little crowd became apparent He was dressed in some long darh> garment that reached to his ankles. His feet and head were bare rossipiy he was some foreigner from the Oriental Exhibition at Earfs Court
 As he came still closer and the glare of a gas lamp fell upon his wace, Lady Betty saw that he was lean and dark skinned. Ills black hair descended al. most to his shoulders. and his beard and mustache and whiskers were shag- gy and unkempt. He moved along slowly apparently unconscious of the train of derisiye followers. His arms were folded, amd his head bowed on his breast
 Then he suddenly stopped. and rais- ed his face to the sky and stretched out both hands towards the east Woe unto you, accursed city!'' His voice rang out like a clarion. above all the mean noises of the night The boys fell back from him, and giggier. Doors and windows opened down the street. and towsled heads were thrust out.
 Woe unto you, accursed city" Again the voice rang out, clear and distinct as bugle-call for battle.
 "Go 1t dnrkie" shouted a man husl- fly from the vantage point of an upper window. Give it 'em 'ot, Mosesr"
 And the little boys danced and shrieked with laughter.
 Then policeman appeared, myste- riously. from nowhere, as they do In the worst quarters of London. His burly form moved steadily towards the tall figure with the outstretehed hands.
 Move along, guv'nor." he said roughly. We can't ave this ere, you know. You're obstructin'"
 The man slowly dropped his bands to his side and returned down the streets into the darkness One Of the little boys, emboldened by the pro- tection of the law. threw a lump of mud at the retreating figure. Then the policeman threatened, and the crowd dispersedE
 Lady Betty shut down the window and returRed to her letter writing.
 But as she went to sleep that night she still heard the ringing tones of the voice. She could not understand why the words of q religious fanatic should have left So deep an impression upon her mind.

Gatun, Canal Zone, July 23-When the last stroke of work on the big dam at this place has been struck, Uncle Sam will be ready to present his gi- gantic ditch to an appiauding world. That time will be some years in the future. as there is much yet to be done. Twenty million cubic yards of mater ial will have to be put into 1t. the big Rest set of locks In the world. reQuir- ing 100000 cubic yards of concrete masonry. will have to be constructed. and fourteen pairs of gates will have to be designed and built. But when all the experiments have been complet- ed and the work of constructing the dam begins in earnest, it will go for- ward with a rush With the three main walls of the locks aggregating some 5000 linear feet. 1t will be pos sibIe to work twenty concrete mixing plants at once. In Q recent piece or construction work In the States. sin gle mixing plant maintained for con siderable time an average Of 4OO cubic yards of concrete put in place per day. and a maximum of S00 cubic feet was reached.
 Assuming that, on the Zone. only ten plants work constantly. with an out put of 250 cubic yards each day, they could finish the locks in 520 working days or two and a quarter years. At this rate they would be using about 4.- GOO tons, or about 125 carloads of ma teriaI q day, which is less than hf- teenth of the weight of material taken from Culebra Cut every day.
 We are told that a million tons of merchandise are annually landed on the Isthmus by the 1000 steamers which visit its ports in that time. We recognize that the vast trade which now goes through the Straits of Ma geIlan and around the Horn will pass through the Panama Canal But we cannot more than roughly predict the great diversion of trade which will take place, or the changes on the map of the world which will result.

TO RECOVER PROFITS.

New York, July 23.-A suit to re- cover profits from Paid in Full" now playing at the Astor Theatre, has been filed in the United States Circuit Court by Florence Gerald Clark, the dramat- list and writer.
 Miss Clark, who Is better known as Florence Gerald. alleges in her com plaint. that Paid in Full" is an adapta- ton made without her consent from An Idol of Clay" written by her in 1903. and copyrighted in 1907. Be- sides demanding the profits from Paid In Full" the plaintiff asks for an in- junction to prevent further production of that play under any title whatever.
 The defendants named in the com plaint are Eugene Walter, who wrote Paid in Full" and Lincoln A Wag- enhals and Colin Kemper. who are proprietors and managers of the Astor Theatre, where Paid in Full" has had a run of nearly four months.
