The Canal by 1912.
A good deal of surprise has been
occasioned by the estimate of Mr.. Taft
that the excavations for the Panama
Canal will be completed in thirty-three
months. The prophecy is all the more
astonishing because Lieut-Colonel
George W. Cocktails. the engineer in
charge. has placed his date for the
opening of the canal at January L
1915.
AS a matter OF fact Mr.. Taft has not
been over-sanguine. He has merely
trimmed down the conservatism of Col
Goethals, who has the proverbial hest
fancy of the army engineer in express
ing his optimism.
In the twelve months ending With
November 1, 1908. the excavation
amounted to 35.0l6.O24 cubic yards.
which contrasts with 1S,714,931 cubic
yards taken out Of the ditch between
the starting of the work on May 1.
1904. TO November l. 1907. 1t is cal
culated that the remaining work. dat.
ing from November ! last, amounts tc
So, 269,O45 cubic yards. If In the next
two years the record of 1905 is main
tanned there will be left but 1896.
991 cubic yards. The best monthly
record was made last March when g..
4S7 ,oS1 cubic yards were removed. II
reasonable allowance is made for a
falling off in the amount Of work which
may be done. caused by the narrowing
of the cut and the impossibility Of
working as many steam shovels as now.
il will still be seen that Mr.. Taft has
no reason why the canal forces, be
cause of better equipment and the
natural Improvement in organization
and skill. should not be able to offset
the disadvantages they now foresee
when the ditch gets near its ultimate
level.
The Taft estimate would finish the
waterway by. November l, 1911. There
is work upon the locks and the entrance
channels which may cause ssme delay
though ii is the hope of the engineers
that these labors will be brought 10 a
close within few weeks after the last
shovelful is taken from the canal
The people should expect the celebra'

POIiC0| Comment.
Buninexa ImI,ro ment.

Throughout the year 1908 there were
constantly recurring signs of improve
ment i'll business and Of gradual return
toward conditions which could be pro-
nounced normal. A bulletin of the lie
par:inent of commerce and labor
makes Il specific study of these signs,
many Of which are truly remarkable
in the way they show recovery from
the depression of the autumn Of 1901.
Comparisons between December of

raw silk was imported in the latter

and skins have doubled; raw wool I'M

having a valuation more than six
times as much as in December. 1907,
were brought in in the last month of
1908.
The cars handled by the railroads
were SO many more that the two
months are thrown into decided con-
trast. Building permits increased in
numbers and there was marked
alteration for the better in the class
of buildings it was purposed TO erect.

NORMAL CHEST.
Shoulder tense, step too long.

spirit often seems to be supporting a body which
bears relation to 1t.
Correct poise means merely adjusting the
weight over the feet so tlrat the other parts Of
the body are in right relation to another.
The average woman bears her weight on her
heels, which results In a heavy walk and has a
tendency to throw the upper part OF the body
out of position. The weight should be borne on
the balls of the feet and any woman may learn
to do this while waiting for elevators. streetcaYD
etc. by raising the heels from the floor or
ground then putting them slowly down. with
out tipping the body back.
The carriage of the chest regulates the move
ment of the upper part of the body and is the
most important factor in standing walking
well. It should be held by the muscles (without
reference to the breath) high and forward. In
stead of throwing the shoulders back as ev-
cry taught to do, the chest should be
thrown forward. Any may stand still and
try the effect; the chest rises the abdomen
recedes. the shoulders fatten, the arms drop
at the sides. the head assumes it's best position
and the individual looks alive and alert and
ready to move One need hardly be reminded
of the advantage this is to the vital organs with
all pressure removed and with freedom to do
their work without strain anywhere

Arms held awkwardly another stumbling

Walking for pleasure is almost obsolete either

NO new BUILDINGS
FOR THE PRESENT

Hon. T. A. Brandon returned from
Carson City Tuesday morning. Upon
his arrival Mr. Brandon was suffering
with an attack of indisposition, but
has nearly recovered his usual good
health.
When seen at his Office this morning
by representative of the Silver State
News, and asked what was the princi-
pal feature Of the last session of the
legislature, Mr.. Brandon replied:
"The session was noted principally
for the fights between the assembly
and the senate, and between the latter
body and Governor Dickerson.
''From local standpoint, one of the
most important bills passed was the
one establishing two new high schools
in this county. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that new buildings will be erected
at either Lovelock or Winnemueca for
the present. We have vacant rooms
in our public school building here which
we will donate to the county, and un-
derstand there are two vacant rooms
available for this purpose in the Love
lock public school building.'
