ORIGINAL PANAMA CANAL
EXCAVATION COMPLETED

Washington, April 16.-Although it
was generally known that splendid
progress had been made by the army
of engineers in digging the Panama
canal, the statement contained in the
canal record, just at hand, that all of
the excavation that was contemplated
in the original project has been COM
pleted comes as a surprise.
Under that plan 103,795, 900 cubic
yards of material were to be removed
and that has been done. But subse-
quently, in order to accommodate
naval vessels of the Dreadnought type,
and the giant liners now under con-
sIruction, the president ordered the
widening and deepening of the canal
cut. That involved the removal of
1851 1914 additional yards of material
and this is all of the task of eXcava-
ton that confronts the engineers.
The record of accomplishments has
been without precedent in engineering
undertakings.

WANTS INVESTMENTS
FOR SCHOOL FUNDS.

Olympia, April 16.-State Treasurer
Lewis, who is a member of the state
board of finance, announces tina, the
board is most anxious to invest some
of the permanent school funds in mu-
nicipal, light and power, county, and
particularly school district bonds.
There is now more than $500,OOO in
this fund which the state is anxious
to loan.
Early in January 100000 worth of
general fund state bonds were pur-
chased but the state will soon redeem
100000 worth of old bonds, so that
before the summer is over the perma-
nent school fund will probably have
close to 81, 100000 to invest in various
kinds of bonds.

Olympia, April 16.-In accordance
with the recommendations of the leg

Hay has written letter to the state
dental board to prepare to adopt the
reforms advocatd by the committee.
This disposes of that portion of the
report, for the committee found that
the laws covering dental examinations

etfct, SO the next legislature will have
to reform them.
The portion of the report dealing
with the land office is for the attor.
ney general and the legislature to deal
with. AS for the state fair commits.

Claim Outsiders Kissed.
Officers of the association expressed
deep regret that the president OF the
United States should have been treated
so "deplorably,' but they pointed to
the fact that majority of the audi
ence was made up of outsiders, not
delegates to the convention, and
claimed the outsiders were responsible
for the kissing.

INSURGENTS URGED
TO GET OFF FENCE

Rochester, N. Y, April 18.-Urging
his ''insurgent Republican" friends to
get down from the fence and join the
ranks of Democracy, Representative
Eugene N Foss, of Massachusetts, re-
Gently elected to congress from form
erly rock-ribbed Republican district,
assailed insurgency and the protec-
tive policy of the ruling party.
He declared that he now enjoyed in
his various business enterprises from
IS to 1919 per cent protection"
my insurgent Republican friends, if
you want to accomplish the results
you desire, you have got to step aside
and join the opposition party and force
legislation along lines that will bring
relief. You have been insurgents long
enough and what practical results nave
you accrued?"
Party names mean little today, he
declared, to the average man who
thinks seriously.
Mr. Foss declared that his election
means that the people are tired of the
Aldrich bill.
ut is a demand of Massachusetts.
and of all New England, for free raw
material, untaxed food products and

we treat Canada decently and that we
take down our tariff wall against her.

continued, that we should do this

GERMAN STRIKE IS
STRUGGLE TO DEATH

Berlin, April 18.-The building
trades lockout, which has already
made a quarter of million workers
idle, appears to be the beginning of a
long struggle affecting many divisions
of the national industries. The employ
ers have locked out the men in an eff
fort to put an end once and for all time
to what they regard as the intollerable
demands of the latter. The labor un-
ions, too, have been making prepare
tions for the lockout and planned to
support their idle members.

IRRIGATION BONDS PART
OF ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM

Washington, April 18.-In the face of
the opposition of Director Newell, of
the reclamation service, and other dis
gruntled officials, President Taft re-
CARDS the bill permitting the issuance
of $30,000,0OO worth of certificates of
Indebtedness to complete the reclama-
ton projects as an administration
measure. He so assured Senator Jones
today.
Essential Part of Policy.
The president said the bill was one
of the essentials in his conservation
policy, and that he would do all in his
power to assist it's passage. The mat
ter of attaching the bill to the rivers
and harbors bill as a rider has been
seriously discussed in the senate, since
the house ways and means committee,
after the Newell testimony, seemed so
opposed to the measure.
Senator Jones Seeks Advice.
Senator Jones thought this hardly
sound policy, as it might endanger the
rivers and harbors and the certificate
bills. Hence, he called on the presi-
dent today for advice. The president is
opposed to making the certificate
measure rider on the waterways bill
and expressed the belief that it, with
all the other administration conserva-
ton bills, will pass.
May BE Rider on Civil Bill.
If it does not pass early, he advises
attaching it as rider to the sundry
civil bill, which will come up towards
the end of the session.

the opinion of the railroad men here
