THIS CANAL JOB BIGGER THAN
DIGGING THE PANAMA DITCH

ALBANY, June 11-Work on the
transformation of the Erie canal is
going on under "a contracts.
In magnitude the project is COM
parable only with the ditch dig
ging at Panama. Some of the en-
gineers contend that they have
more of a job on hand than that
which confronts the government
builders on the isthmus.
Points of comparison to whic.;
they call attention are that the ex-
cavation for the Panama canal will
amount to 125, 100000 cubic yards,
while the estimate for Erie was
1872 900 900 cubic yards. Panama
work calls for 100000 cubic yards
of cement and Erie for approx
mately 3,575.000. Structural work
at Panama comprises six locks. The
structures on the Erie canal in
clude 81 locks, 40 dams, Is guard
gates, one viaduct and 220 bridges.
This New York project is to en-
large the Erie canal, which extends
$50 miles from Buffalo to Albany,
and it's two branches which extend
from the main stem to Oswego and
to Lake Champlain. The depth Of
water is to be IL feet. In the canal

INSIDE VIEWS OF HUGHES

ALBANY, N. Y, June Ii
Charles Evans Hughes is probably
less of a politician than any other
man in politics.
Politicians say he is an accident,
the unnatural result of extraordin-
airy circumstances. His admirers
say he is the prophet of a new era
in the. political world. Every one
who has been associated with him
closely is certain of one fact-he
is man of outstanding individual
ity.
AS governor of New York he
has given the state an administra-
ton that is absolutely unique. 1t
has not been wholly successful in
the matter of accomplishment. He
has worked alone, except for the
aid of those who rallied to his as
sistance of their own accord. He
never asks the aid Of any man.
Old-timers at Albany, who ad-
mire the governor for his stand on
all moral questions and who be-
lieve in most Of his doctrines of
right living, says
HE is a great governor. He has
given the state an administration
on a high plane. But Odell and
Roosevelt did more for the people,
after all. They made the politicians
do what they wanted them to do.
They laid down the law to the le-
gislature and the legislature usual
ly obeyed. 1t is true that the
preachers Of the state did not
agree with everything they did
but they got results"
Much fun has been made of
Hughes conscience in comic pa
pers AMI public speeches. 1t is no
myth, either. The thing about
Hughes that worries the politicians
most of all is his placidity. He
consults his conscience on every
move and does what will satisfy 1t
and then no matter what happens,
he can say to himself:
II have done the right thing. Ii
others fail / cannot ~ blamed for
their failure. | have done my full
duty"
Hughes studied hard as boy in
school and has never stopped. He
is now as years old and in his
mind are stored away the results
of almost that many years study,
for he began to read almost as
soon as he began 20 talk.
But there is another side to the
mantle side that usually is not
seen by the public. He has al, the
human emotions in strong degree
but he has learned to control them
and keep them in the background

ANOTHER MILL
FIRE MYSTERY
PLANT OPERATED BY ELEc.
TRICKY is DESTROYED, IN
FLICTlNG LOSS OF $4,000
WORK OF lNCENDIARY SUS-
PECTED.

The regularity with which lum-
Der mills have burned in Spokane
has given rise to the suspicion that
the fires were of incendiary origin.
Yet there are no clews to furnish
the authorities with a thread to
work on Last night the Central
Lumber Co.'S plant on College and
Jefferson burned. 1t was operated
by electricity and shut down at 6
o'clock.
The fire started in the office, as
nearly as can be explained, but
how is a mystery. Merchant Po-
lice Howard, who passing discov-
cred the blaze and turned in the
alarm. 1t was the fifth sawmi1
fire of the past few months. In
every case the origin has always
been a question. The loss to the
mill last night was estimated at
$4,000 by H. w. Hollis, treasurer
of the company. The insurance is
only about $4,000.
A meeting of the directors will
be called this week to discuss
plans for rebuilding.
The building in which the ma.
chinery was located is a total loss,
as is also the machinery. A stock
of fancy lumber was destroyed.
The main lumber yard, however,
was saved by the fire department.

vice governor general under Gov.
Taft. He was acting governor
while Taft was away conducting
negotiations with the vatican in
the matter of the Philippine friars,

In 1906 he was appointed ambas-

No man is better company at a
dinner and no man enters more
enthusiastically into the spirit of a
joke or an evening of pleasure,
when the evening has been set
aside for that purpose.
One phase of Hughes character
is illustrated by his action on the
Hearst bill providing for a recount
of the ballots cast in the Mcclellan
Hearst mayorality election in New
York, which Hearst claims he won
but was counted out. Hearst had
been hughes opponent in the
race for governor and had attack
ed him in many ways, constantly
referring to him as an animate
feather duster" Yet Hughes rec
commended the passage of the bill.
When he was counselled not to
sign it, he replied decisivelyy ut
is simple act Of Justice" And
thereupon affixed his signature to
the bill, making 1t law.

When he reached the crematory

charge that he is a republican at

Roosevelt for the cabinet position,

purposes, a bid in fact for demo
