Canal 20 Cost saoo,ooo,ooo7

The Chairman of the Canal Commits
sion, Colonel Goethals, and ex-senator
Blackburn, the present Governor of the
Canal Zone, recently appeared before the
Interstate and Commerce Commission of
the House to give information regarding
mus. Colonel Goethas stated that, in
spite Of the great difficulties due TO the
wet season in the tropics, which he had
expected to be the cause of much delay,
the work was making more rapid pro-
gress than he had looked for. Neverthe-
less, he gave it as his opinion that the
final cost of the canal would reach $780,
600 900, this including of course, the $40,
900 900, paid to the Republic of Panama
in purchase of the strip of land from
ocean to ocean known as the Canal Zone,
and the $4,000 900 paid to the French
company as the price of the canal. This
increase in cost is due largely, of course,
to the greatly increased dimension of the
canal and to the proposed increase of the
locks from the original width of 80 feet
up to 10 feet or more. Colonel Goethals
stated that, at the present time, the
number of laborers on the payrolls of the
canal and the Panama Railroad fluctu-
ates between 10000 and 10000, and that
it consists mainly of Spanards, Italians
and West Indian negroes. There is no
scarcity of labor and, in fact, during the
men available than could be employed
Outside of a few machipists' helpers there
are no Americans on the labor rolls

People Do Feel Safer When
They Know Their Money
Is Invested in Vermont.
(From Orleans County Monitor.)


If every business man in Vermont were as
thorough believer in and practicer OF the use
OF printers ink as is c. S. Page of Hyde Park
old Vermont would be the most famous and
influential state of the Union.
Mr. Page has made Hyde Park known the
world over where there is calf-skin to sell or
a scrap of leather to be used, and likewise has
Mr. Page made the Lamoillc County Savings
Bank and Trust Co., known the state over
wherever there is dollar to deposit.
A few months ago Mr.. Page began thor
ough and judicious advertising campaign in
every paper in Vermont and the result is a
gain of S235,ooo in deposits in the past six
months.
And there is no use talking, people do feel
safer when they know their money is all in
vested in Vermont.
Other banks may do this, but they don't
tell the people so. Page does.
Commencing January, 1908, this Bank
will pay four per cent compounded semi
annually on all deposits large and small
alike; will pay taxes on all sums up to
$1,000, and will issue pass-b books with no
limits as to times of withdrawal or other
restrictions or limitations save those
common to all Vermont Savings Banks
Deposits made on or before Feb. 10Th will
draw interest from Jan LIST, those after
Feb. 10Th from April LIST

CHRONIC
STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills After Sufferer Had
DOctOred for Years
In Vain.

The tonic treatment for indigestion is
having remarkable success in curing
obstinate cases of that distressing NAL
ady and deserves attention from every
sufferer. Its principle is that remedies
for indigestion that digest the food for
the stomach give relief for only short
time. Ultimately they unfit the stom-
ach to do its own proper work, because
they make its already weak power still
weaker by disuse, while the remedy that
strengthens the stomach makes it more
and more capable of digesting the food
for itself and this benefit lasts. A rem
edy that is tonic not only for the stom-
ach but for the blood and nerves as well,
invigorates the entire system and makes
recovery from the weakening effects Of
Indigestion rapid and thorough.
Miss Cynthia Hart, of 418 E. Mulberry
street, Lebanon, Ohio, says: 81 was q
sufferer from stomach trouble for several
years and found no relief in doctors or

is to lead to "the highest attainment in

persons who are best adapted for the
uplifting of the human race. While the
good results of this course not to be gain

The Sign of the Cross"

Miss Gay Zenola MacLaren, the hand
some and talented impersonator of New
York, who appears here at the opera
house on the evening of Wednesday,
Feb. 5, is an artist of more than passing
note. She comes here under the exclu-
sive management of the Star Lyceum
Bureau of New York, which fact alone
is guarantee of the excellence of her
work. Miss MacLaren will render on
this occasion 1.-The Sign of the Cross"
by Wilson Barrett; and her work is COM
mented upon by the Brooklyn Eagle as
follows:
The play, "The Sign of the Cross" by
Wilson Barrett, vas superbly given in
Association Hall yesterday by Miss Gay
Zenola MacClaran, who will repeat it at
the same place this evening. Miss Mac
Claran, who is pretty and graceful girl
was gowned in a clinging drapery of
white finished with a Roman border of
gold. She reads with a fire and inten-
sity and an authority and conviction
that are startling. Her poses are all
graceful and effective, and her voice has
had excellent training and is under per
feet control, as was evinced by the rapid
changes from the deep tones of Marcus,
the girlish voiced Mercia, and the treble
of little Stephanus, Tigilinus, Licinius,
and the drunken Glabrio were also dis
tinctive characters. "The Sign of the
Cross" is a very large undertaking for so
young girl, but one which Miss Mac
Claran is well able to accomplish.
