Washington. Sept. 19.-Plans for the
f0rtifiction Of the Panama canal at a
cost Of $14.140.000. an increase Of $s,-
276.521 over the estimate submitted in
1905 by the National. Coast Defense
board. Of which President Taft was
then chairman, was sent to Congress
last April.
The proposed expenditure refers only
to "seacoast defenses for the terminus
Of the canal" but it is also planned
to provide means Of defending the por-
lions Of the canal other than the ter
minal from attacks to which those
portions might be subjected by forces
operating on land with the object
either Of getting possession Of the
canal or Of injuring the locks, dams.
etc,
Twenty-Five million dollars is a con-
SENTATIVE estimate Of what the final
plans Of the seacoast and land de-
fences will call for. and it is thought
by some that $40.000.O00 will be nearer
the final sum required for the defense.
The plans Of President Taft call for:
len 4-inch rifles, twelve 6-inch rifles,
twenty-eight 12-inch mortars, besides
an elaborate system Of submarine de-
lenses.
Six OF the 14-inch rNies-the most
powerful gun in the world-will be
placed on the Pacific coast, and four on
the Atlantic in pairs.
Althouh the greatest secrecy Is
maintained concerning the fortification
plans, It is known that the main fort
defending the Pacific entrance will be
built on Sosa hill and. armed with
four 14-inch rifles, six 6-inch rifles and
eight 12-inch mortars. This will be
named Fort Amador, after the first
president Of the republic of Panama,
Two other 14-inch rifles will be plac-
ed on Ancon hill, with smaller artillery
and the islands OF Naos and Perico in
the Bay Of Panama will also be forti.
he'd with the object Of enabling an
American fleet to pass through the
canal and form in line Of battle on the
Pacific side, outside the range IF any
gun on a ship that can come within
range OF the guns on the islands, which
IN turn will be protected and com.
manded by the guns Of Sosa and An.
con hills.
This plan was adopted on the sug.
gestion OF Admiral Evans, who pointed
out that no matter what fortificatfons
Were built feet passing through the
canal would have to come out one BY
one and 1t would be impossible for 3
meet to pass from one ocean to anothe,

Fargo.-Tag day in the city Saturday
proved to be very profitable for the
Florence Crittenton Home, which insti-
tuted the occasion to secure funds for
the erection of a hospital in connection
with the present institution.
Although the leaders of the work
were unable to give the exact amount
taken in yesterday, it will be in the
neighborhood Of $1,500 in cash and

Fargo.-The banks Of North Dakota
have not had burglary nor an at
tempted burglary in the last year, ac-
cording to the report OF the North Da-
kota Bankers association, which has
just been issued. This il MT snrpris.
Ing when one learns that the North
Dakota bankers carry almost nliiii N
dollars worth Of burglary insurance
$ssS.600 to be exact.
The annual report just iss,,el IL fun
Of interest to all bankers and men in.
terested In banking affairs. The book
contains everything there is to be
known about the state asso citation Gf
bankers and many side lights Oh the
financial system Of the flickerta;i state.
There are now 71S banks in North
Dakota-14s national, 566 state and
four trust companies. OF this num-
Der there are $40 banks which belong
to the state association classified in
membership as: One hundrt1 and
thirty-seven national banks, 4:9 state
banks and three trust companies
The report gives one a splendid con.
ception Of the prosperity Of the state
as it shows that there was a gain in
the number Of banks in the state by
103, while the state association of
bankers grew stronger by los new
members. All these banks are SEEM
ingly in a f1ourishing condition and
none had any cause for complaint.
One of the most important and most
interesting things about the report is
a list Of orty-eight questions and
opinions given On the same by the as
sociation's attorney, Edward Engerud.
These points cover such items as:
Reduction OF. bank surplus, payment of
notes. protesting of checks, validity of
mortgages. value of options. filing of
liens. collection of draft with bill of
lading attached, validity of contracts,
collections and many other points of
vital interest to the bank and man of
business affairs. which bring out the
fine technical points OF the law.

The Rislstan Of samarkand.

from the volga and the Danube rivers
to the Ganges and from the Indian
ocean to the polar sea. The tribute of
thousand tribes and the homage of
systematically conquered nations
were laid at his feet here. But all this
glory has departed and for five centu.
ries Samarkand has been dying.
All the imposing structures that
once gave Samarkand its reputation. as
the finest city in Asia have either dis
appeared or are in an advanced stage
Of decay and dilapidation. They have
been almost entirely stripped of the
adornments that made them famous,
and the earthquakes that occur every
few years diminish the number of tur-
quoise and azure domes and the dimen-
sions of the enameled walls, and in
crease the heaps of debris which now
cover the ground. No effort has been
made by the government or the priests
or the people to restore or even to ar
rest the ravages Of time or to protect
or preserve the architectural monu-
ments that have stood here for ages
against the vandals, the earthquakes
and other destructive agencies that
have made Samarkand wreck of its
former magnificence.
You would think there would be sui.
ficient pride, piety and patriotism in
the Mohammedan world to perpetuate
monuments and institutions chiefly &C.
clesiastic In their origin and purpose,
but the same conditions appear in
every country where Islam prevails,
except in Constantinople. Cairo and
one or two. other cities.
Islam is dying religion. It haa
reached hopeless stage of decay, II
the appearance Of its mosques and me-
dresses, its shrines, the mausoleums of
its saints, its cemeteries and other pub
lie institutions may be accepted as evi.
dence. have never seen new
mosque in any Mohammedan country;
I do not know Of one that has been
built within the last century, and few
have been repaired. Everywhere the
Indifference is the same; everywhere
the same degree Of dilapidation may
be found, even in the most fanatical
cities like Bokhara and Damascus.
The Persians used to call Samar
kand the center Of the universe, the
hub, like Boston. 1t was the Athens of
Asia. for learning and culture, but a
Babylon for extravaganza and vice.
The luxury and immortality of its
rulers and it's citizens was the cause
Of its decay. Hs population at the
zenith of Its glory was million; now
u has scarcely $4,000 inhabitants.

w before long be thing OF
the past. After centuries
even millenniums, of conservatism In
customs and speech, the barrier to en-
Mghtenment has been broken down
by the Young Turks, and men Of en-
terprise have been invited to enter
Palestine-so long held in bondage by
the late sultan-and to form it into a
modern and progressive country.
With the entry of civilization and
modern culture the many peculiar
customs which have been observed
since the days Of the patriarchs, and
the poetical speech Of the natives
will soon be banished. For even In
the smallest actions of their life the
people rehearse Biblical scenes of the
days of the patriarchs and speak to
each other in the poetical phraseology
Of the Psalmist and the prophets,
quite unconsciously.
Perhaps the most interesting figure
in Oriental life is the tall, dark Be.
douin. whose life resembles in every
detail that Of Abraham of old. Even
he. illiterate and ignorant as he is. a
wanderer of the desert, living the
most primitive life. embodies his ideas
in highly metaphorical language. His
black camels-hair tent is probably of
the same shape as that of the patri-
archal days, and is made in such a
manner as to facilitate its erection
and it's removal and transportation on
the backs of burden-bearing camels.
The Bedouin is surrounded in his
wanderings by just as many camels.
oxen and other animals as was the
wealthy patriarch Of early days.
Biblical Scenes Rehearsed.
In the fields one sees living illus
trations Of many Of the parallels, and
In the villages are rehearsed many in
cidents mentioned in the Bible. There
Is great variety Of homes to be seen
in Palestine representing the various
stages of the evolution of homes
from the abodes in the rocks of the
poor peasant or the leper to the mod
ern stone house of the wealthy Mo
hammedan. There are the more pic.
turesque homes made Of twigs and
branches These are literally "A sha-
dow In the day time from the heat"
They are also made Of cloth from
camel's hair-and merely supported
by long. rude poles. Then there are
tho houses Of clay.
Tho houses have Nat roofs. These
nat earthen roofs are not much pro-
lection against transforms. They soon
become soaked and then commences 4
dfsagreeable dripping Of water
through the root, which continues day
and night In summer tho people
sleep upon their roofs. and some spend
the TN day there. taking their cooking
utensils up.
