and present them for what they are
worth To us they seem fairly CON
| vincing-
The first point made Is that q sea
level canal is almost. II not quite, an
engineering lmpossibility. The trouble
is not with the spectacular Culebra
cut That can be dug wide enough
and deep enough for any sort OF a
canal, 1t IS merely question OF time
and money. The difficulty with the
sea level scheme Is in the lowlands.
where the line OF the canal would have
TO cross the famous BLACK Swamp"
Piles have been driven 105 feet into
the ooZe. 1t is the same place where
several hundred feet of the Panama
railroad simply dropped out of sight
a year or so back. The mud is all but
fathomless; and the task OF digging
a canal to forty-five feet below sea
level In that sort OF thing is one that
may properly turn an engineers hair
gray. Moreover, the Chagres river Is
q problem of the largest dimensions
the moment one tries for q sea level
canal. The Engineering News believes
that it could only be controlled by
digging three canals, one in the center
for navigation and one at each side
for drainage.
The increased cost of a sea level
canal over a lock canal Is given at
not less than s100.0O0.OOO Consider
Ing how fast expenses pile up In a
case OF government work, we may
safely guess that twice that sum
would not more than cover the dii-
ference.
But the engineers go on to say that
even IL a sea level canal could be
built and kept in operation il would |
not be as good thing for navigation
as the lock canal A sea level canal |
would OF necessity be narrow through
out its length The present plan Will |
give a canal with twcnty-eight miles
OF open water In the lake back OF |
Gatun dam. Culebra cut will be wider
under the lock plan than under the
sea level plan, and the whole canal
will be more roomy. with fewer
chances of interruption to navigation
The engineers point out that the
Sault ST. Marie canal, which carries
the greatest tonnage OF any artificial
liver In the world, Is a lock canal,
and that navigation is never bothered
'y the necessity of climbing up and
iown these watery stairs.
Such Is brief summary of the
arguments in favor OF the present
'lan of the Panama ditch. In the alb.
'ence of rebutting testimony, there
eems little TO do but accept the yer.
Iict which only an expert could hone
o question with success. The len.
News pledges its profes-
ional authority that the Gatun dam
S thus far in excellent condition and

KEEPING LENT.

Winifred Black. writing on Lent,
which she says she always observes,
recalls her childhood in order to illus
trate her story. She SAYS:
To-day is Lent, l am not church
woman. but l always keep Lent, and
keep 1t strictly-in my own fashion.
When I was a little girl / used to
have to walk two miles to school,
down hot. dusty road in summer and
a cold. slushy. wind-swept road in
winter
Just halfway between our gate
and the school house gate there was
a little patch of friendly woods. and
l always stopped there a minute or
two to rest.
In the summer 1t was shady, in the
friendly woods; there were birds
there, and the shadow Of the leaves
was very pleasant
In the winter it was sheltered in
the friendly woods, the fierce wind
didn't howl so loud there, and there
was one big oak In particular that al
ways looked to me like a real living
being, with heart kindly toward
me.
Lent never comes around but l
think OF the friendly woods and how
l used to rest within their kindly
shelter.
Lent is a rest place In the road.
and that's why try to make it every
year.
This morning when the clock
strikes the hour for me to rise, | am
going to stop pretending and begin 10
live-for one month
I'm going to hunt up some of the
people 1 really like and never get
chance to sec. and keep away from
all the people who have to pretend to
like me for eleven months In the
year.
I am going to get acquainted with
my children and fall in love with nv
husband all over again.
Il am going TO make a set of dolls
clothes for the baby's doll, and | am
going to get down on the floor. and
show brother how we used to spin
our tops when We were little.
am going to forget all tho ,,
things that have happened in this
last year and stop worrying about !
the mean things that are likely to
happen in this next"

BOuNTlFUl OPERA
HOUSE DESTROYED
Considerable Stock Of Merchandise
Also Food for the Flames.

Salt Lake, Feb. 27.-Fire OF an un-
known origin totally destroyed the
opera house building at Bountiful Fri
day afternoon, causing an estimated
loss of about s2S.0OO. The building
was owned by c. H. hampton, who had
large general merchandise store on
the first floor. much of the stock OF
which was food for the flames.
For time the fire threatened TO
spread to buildings close by, and the
Salt Lake City fire department was
called upon for aid, and Chief Glore
sent an engine, hose wagon and detail
Of flremen under Capt, Ayland to Boun-
tiful. The apparatus and firemen were
conveyed on a special train over the

assuredly not. Wherefore, We con.

Farmers Exchange Bank.

Articles of incorporation were filed
last Monday with ]. M. Chapel, Regis
ter of Obion County, to be forwarded
to the Secretary of the State for char
ter for the Farmers Exchange Bank, OF
Union City. The incorporators are 5.
F. Howard, Cato Davis, Jr., w. G. Far
ris, H. P. Moss, Harris Parks. The
capital stock will be $50, 900.
1t has been understood for some time
that another bank was to be established
in Union City, and this is the first official
proceeding in such an organization. 1t
has also been understood that the build
ing formerly occupied by the Obion
Democrat had been rented for this pur-
pose. There is also some speculation
about the bank going into the new
Mailing building to be erected on the
corner of First street and Washington
avenue. All these matters, however,
are immature, as no definite action can
be had until the charter is returned and
the stockholders meet and organize,
which will be done this week.
There is one thing reasonably sure.
Harris Parks will be cashier Of the
bank, he having been personally re-
sponsible for its organization, in the
work OF which he has been engaged for
several months. There are few men
better equipped or trained in banking
than Harris Parks and none who enjoy
greater local distinction in that line.
Four banks in Union City seem a little
out of proportion, but it is reasonably
certain that there is enough financial
interests in Union City and adjoining
territory to keep these four banks well
supplied with business, and the fact
that the banking facilities and accom-
modations are being enlarged and the
number of accomplished and reputable
bankers increased will undoubtedly re-
suit in the addition of a greater volume
of banking in Union City.
