PANAMA CANAL A !
80 -
WHITE ELEPHANT

What will the Isthmian canal costf
The engineers originally estimated $780,,
100000. Of that sum $3.50, 600, 900 has
been expended and the canal is only one
third done. And now it is proposed to
authorize bond issue of 1897, 900, 900 to
complete the canal. The engineers
either do not know anything about esti-
mating the cost of the canal or they are
lnscrupulous enough to he a party to
tricking the American people. Or it is
Just possible. there is fraud in the canal
administration. An eastern correspon-
dent says:
In January, 1908, before the senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals, the
chairman of the Isthmain canal com.
mission seated that the cost would not
he less than $3.50, 600, 900, and might be-
$500, 900, 900. On February 8, 1909, Sen
ttor Kittredge, chairman of the inter
oceanic canals committee, informed the
senate that the latest estimated cost of
thc lock type of canal, including the
purchase price of the canal rights and of
The canal zone rights-$50, 600, 000-will

If the sum originally estimated and
more than 300, 900, 900 in excess of the
conceded minimum cost of the sea-level

Would the country have so light

project if it had known at the start
what it was in for? Does it really know

FOR the canal rights and the canal
zone rights. At the time Rooseveltism
had not got into it's full stride and
this sum was paid out of the current
receipts of the Government. It was
matter for legitimate pride that the
revenues permitted such thing; but

Modern Fairy Tales

Galveston has proved herself secure.
The sea wall she reared with 80 much
care has stood the test of storm as
ferce--though not as long continued
as that which brought her to the edge
of ruin L few years ago. That modern
King Canute, the engineer, has said to
the sea: Thus far, and no farther"
and the sea has heard and obeyed.
The storm serves to call attention to
some Of the truly amazing works which
are taken ;ls matters of course in build
ing the modern city. Galveston takes
low sand spit of an island, drowned
at every high tide. She builds wall
around portion of this island and then
fills in the ground inside the wall.
What was a sandy swamp, she makes
into a fit and proper foundation for sky
scrapers and grain elevators and ore
chutes and warehouses and all the
colossal things that modern man needs;
San Francisco is warned by disaster
that she has been playing her luck too
far. and she proceeds to build city
earthquake proof, as Galveston is build
ing tide proof. New York finds her
granite island too small for her growing
business and drives tunnel under the
Hudson river through which hundreds
of thousands of people will soon be
carried each day. Chicago has no
granite base, SO she piles her skyscrapers
on concrete boats sunk yards down
into the black mud of the lake bed, and
each anchored by concrete anchors; to
the yet deeper mud below. And SO it
goes. ...
What fairy tale it is; and how, ut
terly it outclasses in interest and won
der the romances of a half barbarous
age. Here fairy waves a wand and
drives back the hungry sea. There Q
witch murmurs a spell to stay the
trembling earth. In yet another place
a wizard throws forth steel threads like
spiders webs, which become highways
on which men pass to and from the
Island of Gold. And in oil places,
laboring names ply strange laborS in
the depths of the earth, while the
sprites of upper air build towers to
scale the clouds. If Hans Anderson
had boen Il prophet, and had embodied
these things in his fairy tales, how the
wise world would have laughed at his
foHy.--Rock Mountain News. e., -
