STANDS HIGH IN THE SENATE
Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota,
One of the Leaders.
HIS PAST RECORD A GOOD ONE
His Prediction Regarding the Cost of
+ the Panama Canal now Being Ver-
ified-His Important Work for
State and Nation Lumber
Trust Antagonistic
to Him.
HIS PAST RECORD A GOOD ONE

Washington, Jan. l9.-vThere was
one man in Washington who was not
surprised al the change in the plans
of construction and the revised esti-
mates increasing by more than a
hundred million dollars the cost of
the Panama canal, recently announc-
ed by the canal commission. That
man is Senator Alfred b. kittredge,
chairman of the senate committee on
inLrtoceanic canals. There Is no man
In ,ile senate, or in this country. who
has clearer more comprehensive and
more accurate grasp of the Panama
canal situation than Senator Kilt
redge. Since he has been in the sem
ate he has made an especial study of
the conditions surrounding that tre-
mendous work, and he has come to be
recognized in the senate as the great
canal authority.
Senator Kittredge was originally
for a sea-level canal. His foresight
was SO keen and his knowledge of
the difficulties in the way of a lock
canal SO sweeping that he contended
it would be better for the country to
cut the canal across the isthmus at
sea-leyel, even at an increased ex-
pense, than to try to build a lock ca
nal and entail on the government an
expense, that, at best, could be but
problematical until the canal was
finished and the last dollar spent.
The senator advocated a sea-level
canal on the theory that the cost of
such a canal, though great, would be
final. That Is, after sea-level canal
was dug there would be no further
expenditure to be reckoned with, and
the cost could be estimated accurate
ly from the first, because the skilled
engineers of the government could
compute the amount of excavation to
be made, and that done, there was
nothing to do but excayate. The
senate, reluctantly and by a narrow
margin of votes, decided To build a
lock canal because, as 1t was contend.
ed, the work could be accomplished
more quickly, and the canal could be
secured at an earlier date than a sea-
level canal could be. Senator Kilt.
redge pointed out that the canal was
not temporary work, but monu-
ment for all time and that there
should be no makeshift policy. How.
ever, the senate voted for . lock Ca
! nal, Influenced, presumably, by the
statements that q lock canal would

quires demonstration of worth and
is not Influenced by sky-rocket and
pyrotechnic elocution; but when a
man comes to the senate and proves
by his work and the qualities of his
brain that he is worthy of becoming
one Of the men who do things and
are consulted by the leaders on all
important topics, the senate looks
him over, and if he proves up, re-
ceiyes him and depends on him. That
is what happened in the case of Sen
ator Kittredge He Is one of the
most influential of the younger mem
bers. His judgment is respected and
relied upon. His word carries weight.
His position iss i'm consonance with
the best traditions Of the upper house
Of the country's legislature, and he Is
regarded as one of the strongest men
in THAT body.
There are now ninety-tWo senators.
Or this number no more than twenty
five or thirty do the actual work Of
the body, do the enormous labor that
is required to sift the good from the
bad and to frame such laws as shall
be for the good OF the country. Thous-
ands Of individual propositions are
presented to the senate each session.
They must 60 to the committees and
be passed upon. Many Of the COM
mittee members give but prefunctory
attention to their duties. They are
attracted rather by the social side of

Prediction Confirmed

PredlctlOn SOuHTmed
| At that time Senator Kittredge
stated that, in his opinion, an opin-
ion formed by an exhaustive study of
isthmian conditions, the canal would
not be built for the price nor within
the time originally estimated. He
was not captious In his criticism, but
merely said this was the fact, and
| predicted that the country would
| learn sooner or later that he was
right. For several years hard-work-
| ing member of the canal committee
of the senate, it is not surprising that
he is modestly gratitied that one of
the first important matters to be laid
! before the canal committee after his
accession to the chairmanship, is the
confirmation OF his prediction. Goeth-
ais and Commissioner Blackburn.
both from the isthmus, establish
Senator kittredge's foreknowledge of
! the situate So do Chairman Taw-
| ney, of the house committee on ap-
propriations, and several members Of
this committee who visited the pana-
ma short time before congress con-
yened in December in order to study
conditions there at first hand.
Senator Kttredge Knew and point
ed out that the original estimate of
| Sl39, 600, 900 for the construction of a
lock canal did not include the most of
the necessary work outside the con-
struction OF the canal. His know
ledge of the entire problem was so
accurate that he was able to say to
the senate and to his committee that
the engineers would ultimately come
| before congress and ask Tor more
money, and his estimates OF the in
creased cost of the cana were very
close TO the estimates now being made
public by the men who are digging
| the canal
This accurate, comprehensive, de-
tailed knowledge of the canal situa-
tion is pointed to by his friends as a
type of the work of Senator kittridge
in all the affairs of the senate of the
United States. They insist that he
always "knows what he is talking
about" and that he never ''goes off
at half cock' on any proposition that
is pending before that body. When
ever a question comes up for discus
sion he studies it until he has mast
cred all of its intricacies and all its
details and when he speaks the senate
knows and literally recognizes the
| fact that man is talking who has a
solid, substantial grasp on the sub
| ject he is discussing.

name was read at the Commencement

Other honors have come to her, but
this latest, the election to Phi Beta

So far there is little to report of
trial proceedings in the civil cases.
The case of Geo. Wright VS.. Town of
Delta, and that of the Surface Creek

pany, go to the jury today.
The criminal case of People VS.. Otto
Peterson was tried and the jury disa-
greed. George Stephan, deputy dist
rict attorney, prosecuted. Judges
Welch and Logan defended.
The jury cases will probably be COM
pleted this week.
Judge Shackleford will adjourn court
this evening, tomorrow being a holiday,

give full report of the session to

ush the Short Line.

The building of the short line link
between Somerset and Marble should
be constantly agitated. 1t is worth the
effort. The little stretch of road that
would do SO much TO develop Delta
county resources should be built with
out further loss of time. Our shipping
interests demand it. The development
of our great coal industries require it.
Our passenger travel would be greatly
benefited by it.
By concerted action this matter should
be brought SO strongly to the attention
of the public and of the railroads that
immediate construction could not be
overlooked. There is more than one
railroad company whose interest in its
building is vital, and ever interest of
the territory argues for its construction
What a foolish thing it seems to
allow the building of just a few miles
of track to longer burden the people and
products of this great territory with
hundreds of miles Of extra freight and
travel!

A Tribe of Red Men.

Organizer Harry Gage, of Pueblo, is
here this week in an effort to institute
Red Men Tribe and we understand is
meeting with good success in obtaining
applicants for membership.
The Red Men order is one of the
strongest in the West, especially in
Colorado. Montrose and Paonia each
are strongly represented.
The Order stands high as fraternity
and socially, and with its Pocahontas
branch for the ladies', ranks with the
chief fraternal orders of America. In
fact it is purely an American organiza-
tion, its mystic rites dating back to
Washington, its patron father.
Mr.. Gage did good work in Paonia
last week, as witnesses the following
from the Newspaper of that city:
The past week was bigone for the
Red Men and order of Pocahontas.
Organizer Harry Gage was here all the
week and put in his time recruiting
membership for the Red Men, and the
Daughters of Pocahontas worked for
themselves with the result that nine
new braves were adopted by the tribe,
a number reinstated and a still larger
number proposed for membership. The
Pocahontas also added largely to their
membership. These lodges are among
the best in town and furnish very
pleasant associations and entertainment
for their members. Both orders were
tremendously strengthened by the visit
of Mr.. Gage"
