own merchant marine engaged in for eign commerce is insignificant. and the idea of building a canal for its bene- fit without also providing measures to increase its fleet is positively ludicrous. With our fiscal and commercial policy as it is, we have undertaken to build a canal, police it and guarantee it's neutrality. all for the benefit of foreign shipowners who will profit through our stupidity by shorter and safer com munication between the two great oceans in which they already dominate the traffic of the world.
 Of course. the interest of the national defense also enters into the canal prob lem. But if national defense requires the canal it also requires a navy to use the canal, and if we are to have an ef ficient navy 1t must be able in time of war to obtain a large fleet of auxiliary vessels on short notice. Such vessels must be sought in the merchant ma rine. and that is our most grievous need. whether considered from the

yearly estimate for the Engineering and construction work has advanced from s139,OOO.OOo for 1906 to s2s7.76s.- 900 for 1910. Two reasons are assigned for the increase. TEc first is that the amount of work actually required in building the canal proves to be fully 50 per cent more than the early es- timators calculated, and the second is that the unit prices" on labor and ma terials have risen 20 per cent since construction began.
 The changed conditions on which these figures are based mean that the canal is a much bigger enterprise than anybody thought it would be- It is not going to be complimented at a cost of $40, 100000, which sanguine estimators fixed as the maximum; snor will the s200,000,000 limit reckoned by more conservative calculators cover the ulti- mate outlay.

 Yet even this vast increase of cost. as compared with early estimates. will not halt the enterprise.

PLATINUM PRODUCT IN 1908.
Output Was 75O Troy Oounees Valued
 at About $14,ooo.

Platinum is produced in the United States only as a by-product in placer gold mining in oregon and California. The output in 1908 was 750 troy ounces, valued at s14,250. This quantity was uearly double that produced in 1907 but the value of the product was only 35 per cent greater. owing to decline in prices. During the last three years the price of this rare metal has fluc- tuated from s1s.2O to s3s per troy ounce for the refined metal (the value of gold is about s20.67 per troy ounce), and the amount of crude platinum or platinum ore annually imported into the United States, chiefly from Russia. has ranged from 4.237 pounds, valued at s1.095.754, to 11,494 pounds. valued at s3.601,120

The exclusive news in THE TINES
last evening that the G. H Geist peo-
Pile will erect a quarter million dollar
plant next year and the fact that men
of that syndicate are more or less in
terested in the Gary & Interurban, has
aroused considerable interest among
business men. The company not only
has the contract to furnish power to
the interurban. but some OF It's mem
bers are said TO be financially hackers
of the road. This appears all the more
of interest because 1t is generally be-
lieved that the Gary & Interurban peo-
pie are a large factor in the Castle
ma nfranchise recently granted in
Whiting.
The new machinery installed by the
Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Light
