The Methodist people here are
planning to put up this year a brick
church building to cost about $4,000.
The subscription list started some
time ago advanced very slowly but
some of the leading ones are willing
to more than double the amount of
their first subscription and others
are asked to do the same SO they
can be assured of good ample sized
building for the accommodation OF
church and Sunday school. This is
Just what ought to be done. The
people are abundantly able and we
say let the good work go on.

ious attention until the nineteenth
century.
After 1928 various surveys and ex-
plorations were made with the view
of determining the feasibility of such
a waterway. Different routes were
suggested as available, but. in pro-
cess of time, all save two-those OF
Panama and Nicaragua-were elm
mated from consideration.
Americans Establish Route.
After the discovery of gold in Cal
ifornia in 1849, an American COM
pany established a provisional tran
sit route by stage and boat across
Nicaragua and formulated some plans
for completing the system by the con-
struction of canal These plans were
not carried out owing to various com
plications, some of them of an inter
national character.
It was at this time that the Bull
wer-Clayton treaty was made be-
tween the United States and Eng
land. Since that time there have
been a number of projects for build
ing canal by the Nicaragua route
United States Makes Surveys.
In 1925 very complete surveys
of both the Panama and Nicaragua
routes were made by the United
States, and the results of these ex-
aminations pointed to the superior
advantages of the Papama route.
Before any decisive action has been
taken by the United States. a French
man named Wyse secured from the
Columbian government a concession
for building an interoceanic canal
The surveys and explorations made
by Wyse had been hasty and incom-
plete, but, armed with the Columbian
concession, he returned to France and
secured the interest of Ferdinand de
Lesseps in the scheme
Through the latter's invitation an
international scientific congress met
at Paris in May, 1879, to consider the
question of an interoceanic canal. In
the congress the American delegates
refrained from voting.

was commenced in October. 1881
The canal was to follow much the
same route as that of the railway
from Colon to Panama. It was Il
be sea-Ievel canal, having deptf
of 29.5 feet and bottom width Of
"a feet, with a length OF forty-sever
miles.
Early Plans Abandoned.
Later the company was forced to
admit that a sea-level canal could NOT
be built in the time specified, with
the money available. and plans for a
lock canal were substituted. The
French company made many mistakes
and finally. in March, 1888. abandon
ed the work for want of funds.
Provisional administrators were
appointed by the French courts, and
various schemes were advanced fol-
rehabilitating the company. Up &c
that time the work is said to have
absorbed $4,000, GOO, obtained by
the sale of shares and bonds, mainly
to people Of small means in France
and finally by lottery drawings
which were authorized by the French
government.
In 1894 new company was
formed which obtained a concession
for ten years, extended in 1900 by SIX
years, so as to terminate in April
1910, by hich time it was estimated
the canal would be finished.
Twelve miles of the entire length
of the canal had SO far been finished
by the French companies as to be
navigable. This did not, however, in.
clude the most difficult portions OF
the work, and the sentiment was
pretty we'll established that the
French company would not be able tt
carry the work to a successful con,
clusion.

the building of an interoceanic ca

IN LINE FOR
IMPROVEMENT
FIVE SMALL AND ONE LARGE
HOUSE HAVE BEEN MOVED TO
MAKE ROOM FOR VERY LARGE
FIREPRooF WAREHOUSE.

Five small, three or four four-room
houses, and one large two-story house,
have been moved from Manresa street,
and will be placed several blocks fur
Their east, having been hauled down to
Romano street and thence skidded
along to their new foundation. The
buildings, formerly occupied by ne
groes, have been moved for the pur-
pose of making room for a monster
frepToof warehouse and stable COM
bined, to be erected at once. Prelim-
mary plans have been filed in the Of
flee of the building inspector, and
plans for the concrete work are now
in course of preparation. They are
looked for here early in the week,
when a permit will be asked and if
specifications are conformed to, work
may be started this week.
This will not be the only large con-
crete work, if plans are materialized.
1t is understood that a concrete build
ing is planned on Tarragona street,
between Romano and Garden streets,
to occupy a site lately cleared by dan
gerous buildings having been demol-
ished. Parties who reported this pos
sibility did not wis hto be quoted, but
they stated with positiveness that the
improvement was an early possibility.
Another site cleared this week of
dangerous buildings is the large Kirk
lot, at the northwest corner Of Ro-
mana and Baylen streets. A 1reproof
building is contemplated at this point
also, although it will not be as pre-
tentious as others which are planned.

HAD NO PERMIT,
BUT BUILT Walk
CASE IN CITY
COURT PROSECUTED BY THE
CITY ENGINEER AGAINST L. q
N, RoADMASTER.

Because he built walk without
having obtained the necessary permit
from the city engineer, a case was
made against NJ. E. Bats, roadmaster
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad,
yesterday morning in the recorders
court and It was prosecuted by City
Engineer L. E. Thornton. The case
resulted in a fine of SIS and costs
being imposed upon the roadmaster,
but a new trial was asked for, and the
usual motion will be filed in the Gus
tomary time with the court. 1t is the
opinion that in case OF a failure to
get new trial in the city court, the
case will be taken higher.
Mr.. Bats was doing some work for
his company, it appeared, when the
arrest was effected. On the west side
of Hayne street, extending along the
east line of the railroad ocmpany's
lot thre, there has just been completed
an excellent concrete walk. 1t has
long been needed there, and there is
no dispute of that fact. But, as the
case proceeded, it developed tnat
there had been no permit for the
work obtained, as required in section
% of the new sidewalk ordinance, and
the city engineer made the case. The
case was followed with interest.

TON, AFTER THOROUGH ExAMl-

TO TRUSTEES.

Early in the week official report of
an inspection which has been care
fully conducted during the past four
days of the new paving will be made
TO the board of bond trustees by T. c.
Hatton, consulting engineer. A spe-
cial meeting of the council is in pros
pect for the middle of the week to
consider such ratification. All the
wood block paving is completed.
Practically all the original contract
for brick work is finished, too, and the
entire two systems will come in for
report when the paper is made up. 1t
is understood that comparatively few
imperfect parts were found, but the
few found when called to the attention
of the contractors were quickly given
attention, and re-inspection was said
to have found things in good condi-
ton.
Pending the report, considerable
money is held up by the board of bond
trustees. This is in line with the con
tract, however, and up to date the con

COLA FOR SHORT STAY.

Chief Frank d. Sanders returned
from Birmingham early yesterday
morning, bringing as guests a number
Of the officials who attended the con-

who came down for stay of two
days were: Chief of Police Hinson,

phia, is accompanied by his wife, who
was delighted at being in Florida.
All of them bespeak for Pensacola
the best of everything in the way of
progress, and none of them but who
believes that the city is one of the
most delightful, as well as one of the
most important, on the gulf coast.
Chief Sanders proved himself a
royal entertainer. Early in the fore
noon he started in to show up what
Pensacola had, and a number of auto
mobiles served the purpose to fine ad-
vantage. The visiting chiefs were
taken to all parts Of the city, the new
paving was brought to their attention,
and all the new buildings and every
evidence of progress and advance
ment was not allowed to escape their
attention. The automobile ride was
an extensive one. and acting Mayor
Greenhut and City Clerk Aymard
proved themselves capital companions
on such.

tesy Of Lieut.. Davis, commanding, the
revenue cutter Penrose was pressed
