ADVANTAGES OF LOCK CANAL
CHIEF ENGINEER COCKTAILS
MAKES ADDRESS IN GOTHAM.
Reviews Panama Situation in De-
tail Before Special Committee
of Chamber of Commerce.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The advan-
tages Of a lock canal ct Panama over
the sea-level type were maintained by
Lieut.. Col. George w. Goethals, chief en-
gineer of the Panama canal commission,
in an extended address delivered before
special committee of the chamber Of
commerce Of the state of New York here
today. Col. Goethals appeared by invi-
tation before the committee appointed
by the chamber to investigate the canal
problem. The chief engineer reviewed
the situation In detail in an address last
ing three hours. The session was an
executive one. At its conclusion the
committee issued statement embodying
the chief points made b.. the engineer.
Col Goethals said in part
1T has been stated that as military
man l am subject to orders. and am
obliged to carry out any proposition
that Is put to me. l want to disclaim
it is not true. II / did not believe that l
could do the work down there as 1t Is
projected l would not hesitate to let the
authorities know Il. and there has alb
solutely nothing developed since we have
been there which in any way throws dis
credit on the canal as we are building It,,
and there is no doubt in the minds OF any
of us that it can be built.
First Favored Sea-Level Canal.
Col. Goethals said that when he first
went to Panama he was in favor of a
ses-level canal, but upon subsequent ex-
animation of the conditions he had be-
come strongly in favor of the lock type.
1.-THE advantages of lock-type canal"
said Col. Goethals, ''are that it can be
built for less money. It can be quilt in a
shorter time. 1t gives frecr and easier
navigation and makes friend of the
Chagres river. while with the sea-level
canal the Chagrcs river Is constant
menace
Col. Goethals said that SO far as navi-
CATION is concerned. the locks offer no
impediments to passage, nor do they en-
danger the ships as much as would the
narrow channels of sea-level canal.
The talk about possible accidents had
little or no excuse. he said.
Sails for Canal Zone.
Col. Goethals sailed for The canal zone
late today on the steamer Advance. On
the vessel lust before she sailed he al

of the Panama railroad, near Gatun. and
declared that the slide could not be held
in any way to Indicate danger to the
dam construction.
.'The railroad slide was due to
swamp" said Col. Goethals. which does
not reach anywhere a point nearer than
mile and half to the dam. The slide
under the railway was due to the swamp
alone. and not to blue clay, or anything
of that sort, and there is no possibility
that the dam structure can be affected
by it, l am just as certain now as ever
that the Gatun dam structure has soil

A STATESMANLlkE VIEW.

If his speech at the opening OF the
Seattle exposition is correct STAN
dard of his ability, James j. Hill, be-
sides being Il great railroad builder
and manager, also admirably fills
Burke's definition Of statesman.
Burke said: "a disposition to pre-
serve and an ability to improve, taken
together, would be my standard OF
statesman. The speech Of Mr.. Hill
NAV well take rank among the great
speeches of the present era. Its elo-
quence is in its condensation into
few words or syllables great truths
regarding finance, lawmaking. juris-
prudence, development, right living.
and other kindred topics. Here is
single sentence, which contains vol
ume Of wisdom:
Sim o.icity i'll governing meth DIS i'll character.
and in conduct must be fixed quality o! the
state that survives these charges of the centuries
in which all others have vanished.
Here is another thought which de-
serves the study of lawmakers:
The greatest service to the nation to every state
and CITY, today would he the substitution for a
term of wears of law enforcement for awrnaking.
Get the laws fairy tried. weed out those improp-
er or impractcable. curtaii the contempt OF law
that now nourises under the American system
Of nonenforce,nent and make the people under
s,ard that government means exact unsIarinv
Justice, instead OF q complex game. Thi, is the
only safeguard. if respect for and confidence i'll
itself are not to b. gradually undermined
Mr.. Hills entire speech, in fact, is
full of thought ripenel by long years
Of experience and careful study. 1t
is a speech that all the people can
read with profit.

decided shortage of the worlds supply
even in years of more than average
yield, and this would indicate that it
would be indeed difficult matter to
accumulate Il surplus Of cereal.
Men who have been keeping in close
touch with the wheat situation, de-
clare that the addition of millions of
bushels to the usual supply, would
not meet the increasing demand for
wheat, and there would seem to be no
reason to doubt the correctness Of
their view. If every one Of the fer
tile acres of Eastern Montana should
be settled upon by intelligent farmers
who would plant every possible acre
to wheat, there would still remain an
abundant market for every bushel of
wheat produced, and the best of it is
that despite the enormous increase in
production, the farmer would still re-
ceive excellent prices for his grain.

PUBLICITY DECIDEDLY NECESSARY.

1t is more and more prominently
brought to mind that publicity is the
one thing necessary in the uphuilding
OF community. \ city. Il town or Il
state may have all the resources that
would entitle it to take Il position in
the front rank Ut great communities.
but If the people OF the country do not
find this out, there can he nothing
like progress.
Eastern Montana is today receiving
good amount of publicity of the bet
ter sort. and it will receive more be-
tore the present season is over. The
literature being sent ont by the rail
roads. combined with the efforts Of
the board Of control Of the Dry Farm
ing congress. gives to the people Of
the country something tn talk about.
while the prominence given to the
northwest by the Seattle exposition is
doing it's share.
All of this is decidedly good for
Eastern Montana. but something else
is required before this empire in ter
ritOrial extent as we'll as in wealth
shall reap the full benefit.
Doubtless the state publicity com
mission is Il good thing, hut when it
is remembered that Montana is Il large
state while the means at the disposal Of
the commission are decidedly limited.
it will be seen that in order that eilec-
tive work shall be done, Eastern Mon
tana will have to do great deal of
work upon its own account.
Let the cities and towns Of the Vel
