W WASHINGTON.-There appeared in
w the newspapers the other day a
story to the effect that when former
President Roosevelt returns to this
country from his African hunt Presi-
dent Taft will request him to take
charge of the Panama canal and com
plete that gigantic work.
Friends of the former president say
1t would be no surprise If the report
turned out correct. Mr.. Roosevelt, as
is well known. took the greatest per-
sonal interest In the Panama canal
and there is no gainsaying the truth
that had 1t not been for the little
opera bouffe revolution" on the 18TH
mus there would have been no Pana-
ma canal, and had II not been for Mr..
Roosevelt there would have been no
successful revolution" But that Is
history now and the work of con-
structing the canal, according to the
reports received here. Is progressing
nicely
Just about two years ago, when the
country was discussing the question
Of the denomination of Roosevelt, a
certain western senator in conversa-
tion said:

when he made his famous statement
on the night of election. 1904. Now
the question is, what will he do after
he leaves the White House?
while | have not discussed the
question with the president. | feel that
the one great work for him to do,
after leaving the White House, Is to
complete the construction of the Pan
ANA canal. He is Just the man to
carry this great undertaking to sue
cessful conclusion. 1t would link his
name with this great waterway and
preserve 1t for all time to come.
President Roosevelt has the ener'
gy, the force, the determination. and
the ability to push the work to a
speedy completion. ] do not know
that the president would undertake
this task, If requested. but l am salts
fled that his selection and acceptance
of the appointment would give general
satisfaction"
1t would seem that the senator, In
view of the recent publication, had a
"hunch," as 1t would strike one as o
coincidence that the name of former
President Roosevelt should at this
time be brought into the limelight as
the one man to take charge of the
work of building the Panama canal
with which he had so much to do as
president of the United States.
1t can hardly be questioned that but
for the midnight successful revolution
in Panama the location of a canal would
still be up in the air, as it had been
for many years. The friends of the
former president say 1t would be a
fitting tribute to him that he be asked
by President Taft to take hold and
complete the work.

Uncle Sam Wants More Army Surgeons

The suggestion that the entrance
examination is too exacting is not ac
cepted as reason by the authorities
who say the requirements are no more
than should be within the capacity OF
graduates of the best medical schools
One aid to the solution of the prob

ent examination board sitting in
Washington, before which young men
who are believed to be qualified may
appear at any time during the year.
There will be, as well, the usual semi.
annual examinations. 1t is possible

The annual excursion OF the Methodist
and Baptist Sunday schools was held on
Monday. and $50 enjoyed the sail down
the river to Newbury Neck. The schooner
storm Petrol, Capt. Hiram Treworgy, was
the craft in which we embarked, and the
tug Little Round Top, Capt. Holt, fur
nished the motive power.
The day was an ideal one for the occa-
sion, except that the wind was rather
bracing which kept the chilis reverberat-
ing along the spinal columns OF those who
had come unprepared. But ii was pleas

that every body ate q dinner and . half in
honor OF the event.
The beach offered its attraction to the
little folks, who went wsding, while some
OF the grown-u ups went of on q jaunt or

afternoon was the ball game between the
Ciawhsmmers and the Solid Muldoons,
with the result that the Claw hammers got
hammered, although il there had been
only one more inning, results might have
been different.
Walter Mason was the captain OF the
Muldoons, and with his brother Pnilip

pitcher Walter knows several tricks Of the
trade, bat he couldn't seem to catch that
man on first OF his guard, and there were

Lean, who had long been the star OF the

wild. Lean had caught the spirit OF the
game, and every move he made was . pic

himself the most talked-aboat comedian
in New York. Mr.. Lean will be the star

WILD LAND TAX LAWS.

WA LasA Owaers Must Ask for
Their Tax Bill.
UaW Snquiries sre being made ct the
Ak0 q the 4tate treasurer relative to the
Gas Of paymsnt Of the Stats, county and
Antry district taxes, and for the in
nnation Of all concerned tbs following
sAnesnsnt il issued BY the department:
Ehe law under which the State and county
EMs have been collected in spaSt years has
nkAeea strictly enforced, but with the addi-
Ga q the FIRE tax, which 10 assessed IS the
1nnine forestry district tax, together with new
Auws governing the collections Of all these
tB, full compliance Of the law is made
nAmsssry. The Law reads in part rs follows:
.'aAid lands are held to the State for pay
ma0 a such State and county taxes, with in
t<zHsat thereon at the rate Of twenty per cent.
10 commence upon the taxes for the year for
WaicA zach assessment Is made at the pira-
6enS0 six months, and upon the taxes for the
ns2ouing year at the expiration OF eighteen
kAs from the date OF such assessment"
XnAddition to the above law, when taxes
nse not paid within the prescribed six months,
chApGer 2ls Of the public laws Of 1909 pro-
vizhss that owners Of lands in the unorganized
tSvn.hips (wild lands, 30 called) shall be liza
hAe 10 pay such taxes to the State treasurer
within thirty days after such demands. the
Treasurer may collect the same, with interest
~ provided by law, by an action Of debt in
knc nane OF the State. Such action shall be
besAsiat in the supreme judicial court of the
county where such nnorganized townships
sAre located. and the Encouragement may be-
gin and prosecute sue. actions when thereto
requested by treasurer.
~ TO the payment Of these wild land taxes,
mAny owners do not understand that it is
zeeea-ary for them to ask for tax bills each
y2k, within six months from the date of
nssessment (which is usually the latter part
of march,, and to furnish the State treasurer
with description Of the lands on which they
ssesise TO pay taxes. This must be done, as
an auch taxes are assessed against the
lad in the several townships in
steaA OF against the individual onwer,
sd in snch q way that it is impossible
Kor1he treasurer to render tax bills and send
kham directly to the proper parties.
The State tax for 1909 was assessed April 2
Hsae. and is therefore liable for interest after
ala-z 1909.
