CANADA GETS GRAIN HIGHWAY.
Line Will Be Built From Great Lakes
to the Seaboard

Line Will Be Built From Great Lakes
to the Seaboard.
Ottawa, May 12.-In order to divert
the Western grain traffic which now
flows through American outlets to
the seaboard, great grain highway
from the Great Lakes to the sea is
being established by the Canadian Pa
cific railway. To aid in this project
the Canadian government will prepare
Victoria harbor, on the Georgian bay,
for the position of that railways chief
grain port. At Victoria harbor the
shore plans of the railway company
are of great magnitude. These pro-
vide for an elevator of capacity of
100000 bushels to be constructed
in five units Of 100000 bushels per
unit
The handling capacity of the pro-
jected plant will be about $4,000 bush.
els an hour, or the exact amount Of
one train load over the new railway
which the company will have COM
pleted to the waters of Georgian bay.
The line, which is now in course of
construct O. will run from Montreal
through Smiths Falls and Peterboro
to Victoria harbor, making distance
of 359 miles in almost an air line.

Conferences With Panama OIL
Gals Result in Patching
Up Difficulties.
ALL NOW SERENE AT PANAMA
Tentative Accord Is Reached on Prac.
tically All the Questions
in Dispute.

Panama, May 12.-Ever since his
arrival here Secretary Taft has been
busy holding conferences with Presi-
dent Amador, Foreign Secretary Ari-
as, Senior Arnago, the Panaman minis
ter to the United States; Mr.. Squires,
the American minister to Panama,
and William Nelson Cromwell, the le-
gal advisor Of the Panama Canal COM
pany. The conferences were conclud-
ed yesterday. They covered numer.
Gus topics relating to the treaties
which it is desired to negotiate be-
tween Colombia, the United States
and Panama.
Agreement Is Reached.
It is stated that tentative accord
has been reached upon important
points and that decision with refer
ence to the others only awaits special
inquiries now in progress. The result
of the conferences, it is announced, is
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
Colombia's recent seizure of the
town Of Juarado, on the frontier, in
volved in the general boundary ques-
ton between the two countries, has
been fully considered. The Panaman
government has agreed to the sugges.
tion made by Mr.. Taft to withhold all
action until the secretary of war has
had an opportunity personally to con-
fer with President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary of State Root.
Solve Land Problem.
One of the most important ques-
tons affecting the canal zone has
been to determine the titles of indi-
vidual occupants of lands in the zone
and the valuation of lands appropri-
ated for canal uses. Until now ad-
justment had been impossible, but a
solution has been reached by which
an arbitration tribunal will be consti-
tuted under the existing treaty. This
tribunal will have the power to deter
mine all questions as to valuations
and legal titles. 1t will be composed
of two citizens of the United States
and two citizens of Panama, with Gov.
Magoon Of Cuba as umpire.

Make Merry o. Scsas Where Most
0rnesone Tragedies II Decade
Had Taken Place.

Laporte, Ind, May 12.-While no
more bodies of skeletons have been
unearthed at the Port of Missing

to be called. evidence accumulated
that the death Of at least nine more

All Roads Lead to Farm.
All roads in Laporte county led to
the Guinness farm yesterday, upwards
of $4,000 sightseers visiting the place
of death before sunset. Several of
the out-of-town visitors, however,
were seeking information concerning
missing friends or relatives, and some
further information regarding the pos.
sibility of Identifying some of the UNI
known victims Of the farm resulted
from their inquiries. There was moth.
ing in the attitude of the crowd to in.
dicate that they were visiting a place
where the most grewsome tragedies
of a decade had taken place.
Me-. Merry on Farm.
Jokes and laughing comment on the
antecedents of the farm were heard
on every side and explanations of joy
from successful relic hunters were
numerous. Family picnic parties
grouped themselves on the sloping
lawn under the pines and cedars
which dot the dooryard, or found rest
ing places beneath the Towering ap-
pie and plum trees of the orchard.
Sheriff Shutter will continue his
investigations at the Guinness farm
to-day. The report to the coroner of
the physicians who made the autop.
sizes on the bodies found in the cellar
is not expected for a day or two.

ty of the woman being still alive the
police officials said last night that in
the past three days they had received
twenty-six letters from persons who
declare they are positive they have
seen Mrs. Guinness since her reported
death.

until they were in the rear of the Ter
minal hotel. where lack of water
again retarded any effort to check the
fire.
More Hotels Burn.
Within half an hour the walls and
roof Of the hotel had fallen in
The fire ate it's way into the Liquid
Carbonic structure, a five-story build
ing to the east, and within a short
space Of time there were two terrific
explosions which seemed to carry
down all remaining walls. Next to
the Carbonic company's building was
the Inman block. This building con-
tained nine or ten business concerns.
East of the Terminal hotel, ON
Mitchell, was the Marion hotel annex
