FOOD PRICES TUMBLE;

GOOD WINTER AHEAD.

Breaking from the great food
centers of the middle west, tidal
wave of falling prices is sweep

the nation, shaking to its base
the falsely founded high standard
of living cost.
Back of the wave is the great
est cereal crop in history. assur-

bear the brunt of the fall. Prom
Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha,
the great packing centers, comes
word of reduction in beef and
pork, the two great staples of the
provision markets.
Cheap feed and the lure of
previous high prices combined to
increase the production of these
two products, sending the supply
ahead of the demand.
Corresponding drops in other
food articles are predicted, and
the decline is expected to con
time through the winter.

The visit Of President Taft has ut

sensationalists respecting the stability
OF the dam base, which is half a mile
wide and so gradually slOped that it
could never be recognized as a dam.
Colonel GOethals explained that in
formal opening of the canal in 1913
necessitated immediate action on the
part of Congress relative to toll rates,
because eighteen months would be re-
quired by shipping interests TO adjust
their rates 10 the new routing.
The President expressed himself as
delighted to find the efficiency OF the
workers increasing daily. The canal
is beginning 10 take the form OF
waterway and this accelerates the in
terest of the employees, thus Fastening
completion.
Colonel GOethals is not officially

and trouble with supplies interfere
but is sanguine Of accomplishing the
feat. Regarding landslides in Culebra
cut, all possibilities of their recuT-
renee have been ended and provided

The President also rode over the re-

President briefly addressed the Ameri-

Tomorrow he will inspect Culebra cut
