her by her sweet disposition and unself-

President Roosevelt sent 70 conessss
remarkable message last week. In
it he strikes boldly at the foes Of the
administration. He denies that mis-
policies are responsible for the present
industrial slump and puts it up to
those who have been unlawfully and
unprincipledly mulcting the people
through crooked stock jobbing deals
and the manipulating of corporate
boards of directors to their own ends.

A YEARS PROGRESS ON THE
PANAMA CANAL

The progress Of work during the year
1907 on the Panama Canal was such as
to confirm the recent estimate Of Sec
rotary Taft and Colonel Goethals that
this great work will be finished In six
year's time During the past twelve
month there was excavated along the
line OF the canal a total of 10, 76i. 095
cubic yards, OF this amount about
III, 900, 900 cubic yards was removed by
steam shovels. and over 4. 500, 900 cubic
yards by dredges The greatest re-
suits, Of course, were shown in the
Culebra division, from which alone
over 1000. 900 cubic yards were taken
out According to figures published in
the Canal. Record, when the work was
taken over by the Americans from the
French in May. 1904, it was estimated
that 81. 600, 900 cubic yards would have
70 be removed from the canal prism
In the Culebra division alone AT the
close of last year. of that total amount,
~, 200, 600 cubic Yards had been exca-
waited leaving "A, 500. 600 cubic va, ds

rate Of progress can be kept up, this
work should be completed in less than
five years. The grand total Of all exca-

took control. is %, 75s POI cubic yards,
ano practically the whole of this has
been done since January 4, 1906, when
the real work Of excavation began.
The total work OF excavation done by
the French during their ten years OF
active operation was 81. 54s. 900 cubic
yards The amount OF excavation in
given time has been steadily rising,
aud this is most encouraging feature
OF the work. For the first time on re.
cord. the 1000, 600 cubic yard limit
OF monthly excavation was reached
aud indeed. passed. This occurred In
December of last year. when 2, 200 $50
cubic yards was removed IL now
seems certain that the Cqlebra cut will
not be the determining factor in the
time Of completion % the canal, bnt
rather the vast and difficult work OF

has not succeeded in getting the state
primary law into force in mis- own
senatorial district, he is very anxious
to see IL put into effect in the 3Ist

reason for this desire is his antipathy
to Senator Moriarty He imagines
that Senator Moriarty doesn't desire to
have the primary law applied here
in fact he says as much.
