ResOurcefuI Country

Immediately adjoining Willapa Bay
and Napoleon is approximately 25.OOO,-
nothing of the rich deposits of coal and
iron ore. The wealth in natural resource
of this country is unlimited. Last year
there was shipped from Willapa Bay fish,
oysters, salmon, etc., to the amount of
more than $350.0OO.

Awaits you at Napoleon. Those who
have already purchased lots, as we'll as
those who buy in the near future, will
realize a handsome profit as the prices are
going to climb mighty fast.

The rapid growth of Napoleon into
big metropolitan city is assured, because
it is the logical location for great city.
James ]. Hill said 10 years ago that Will
lapa Bay was the greatest harbor on the
Pacific Coast and the day would not be
far distant when great city would be
built there.

Railroads

On account Of the great possibilities
for big city at Napoleon the railroads
are making their terminals there. The
Northern Pacific now goes to Willapa
Bay, likewise the Great Northern, through
her ally, the s., P. & s. The North
Coast, it is rumored, will establish its ter
minals at Willapa Bay, as well as the
Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul.

No Mountains to Cross

To reach Napoleon and Willapa Bay
there are no mountains to cross, while if
shipments are made to Seattle or Tacoma
for ocean trading you are obliged to cross
the lofty Cascades, which tower 5000 feet
above sea level, to say nothing Of the ex-
pense involved in hauling a train Of cars
over these lofty peaks.

LETTER ON
MATTERS IN PUBLIC EYE

Washington, May 2S.-The sixth
year of the stupendous work Of
building a canal across the Isthmus
of Panama to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans ended on May 3
and in that time so much has been
accomplished that the costly water
way may be opened to the commerce
of the world in 1914. The official
estimate places it a year later in
order that there may be no miscal-
culation.
The progress Of the work may be
seen in the important features Of
the canal. These are the cut through
CuIebra, the locks at Gatun, Mira
flores and Pedro Miguel, the build
ing of the Gatun dam and the crea-
tion of Gatun Lake.
The excavation record by years
since May 1904, is as follows:
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-05-27

Total ...,.... 46,913,450
There yet remain to be excavated
from Culebra Cut s1,12S,S45 cubic
yards, and the work is advancing at
the rate Of 1,24O,OOO cubic yards a
month, that being the average
monthly excavation since May /,
1909. The work OF dredging is
practically confined to the Atlantic
and Pacific entrances OF the canal.
The construction Of the dam across
the Chagres River at Gatum was
continued during the year in three
sections--the dry and hydraulic fill
OF the eastern half of the dam the
lining OF the splllway with concrete;
and the dry fill OF the western sec
tfon. Two parallel ridges of rock
and earth stretch across the valley,
from hill TO hill, and between these
ridges the hydraulic iii is being
made. In the east half of the dam
the hydraulic fin is at SO feet above
sea level, which Is within 90 feet of
the final height. In the western
section the hydraulic fiji has just
been begun. OF the total Of approx
imately 100000 cubic yards of
this fnl to bo made, 5000, 900,
cubic yards have so far been placed
in the eastern section
All the old channels OF the river
are closed by the dam and the water
is flowing through the spnlway.
Low water ia Ganm Lake Is at 10
feet above sea level which Is ten
feet higher than the original surface
OF the river at Gatun.
The first concrete was laid IN
Gatun Locks with the permanent
handling and mixing plant on
August "a, 1909, During the first
four months of IT'S operation the
plant underwent number OF
changes suggested by the working
conditions, and by January /, 1910.
It had reached an efficiency not an
ticipated before July / OF this year.

ficers or directors of banks are in
terested, giving the name of the bor-
rover and of the bank, the amount
in each bank and the total in each
district This is to be supplemented
by similar reports as to the same
kind of paper of persons or firms
other than officials and directors and
the inquiry is to be made more
searching by extending it to a re-
port as to large extended lines Of
credit" in which officers or others
may be interested.
1t may readily be seen that such
reports as these, covering the eleven
districts into which the country is
divided would make interesting read
ing If made public. 1t can also be
realized that they will give the
Comptroller's office such an insight
into the affairs of the national banks
of the country as has never hereto
fore been attempted, especially when
they are accompanied by a report
from each examiner as to which
banks in their districts require close
watching, which have suffered from
defalcations and list of borrowers
whose principal headquarters or
place Of business is out side the dis
trict.
Beginning a year ago Comptroller
Murray inaugurated a system byI
which he brought the examiners to-
gether periodically to exchange views
among themselves so that the more
experienced could impart some of
their knowledge to the younger men
in the service.
This year the seml-annual meet |
ings will take place at the head |
quarters of each district during the
first two weeks of July. 1t is the |
Comptroller's intention that the re-
ports on the various subjects out
lined above shall be read aloud ut
these meetings and be made the
subject of discussion, the returns to
be finally sent to him for tabulation
in the Treasury Department.
Also he has designated subjects
upon which the chairman of each
district will be required to read
prepared paper for discus
sion by the examiners present. Thus
to Alfred Ever, chairman of District
Number /, whose headquarters are
at Boston and whose district in
3ludes all of New England, has been
the preparation of a paper
IN: "The best method of co-opera-
ion with clearing house associa-
ions where there is no clearing

Chas. A. Hanna, whose district
Includes New York, New Jersey and

Private Elmer Skaggs Dies After
 PIucky Fight for Life.

Priv. Elmer Skaggs, company A, 18th inf, died at the post hospital Monday afternoon from obstruction of the bow els. In the hospital for over two months following an operation for appendicitis, he was too weak to take on anaesthetic.
 Private Skaggs made plucky fight for life. His courage and cheerfulness won the admiration of all. He died like man and true soldier.
 He had several attacks of appendicitis before he told the physicians, and, al though everything possible was done for him, in his weakened condition death was merely matter of time.
 Born at Hopkins, Ky, Private Skaggs enlisted at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, in 1908. He leaves mother-Mrs. Sallie Moore-at Herrion, Ill.,
 The body was buried with full mili tary honors Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Loomis, of the Mission, held services in front of the post hospital. The remains were inferred in the post cemetery. Three volleys were fired over the grave, and taps sounded.

MARK TWAIN'S LOVE OF BOOKS.
Some Authors Were the Humorist's
Delight and Others He Abhorred.

Mark Twain was always reading some
vital book As I remember, he did not
care much for fiction. and ia that sort
he had certain distinct loathings. There
were certain authors whose names he
seemed not so much to pronounce as to
spew out OF hts mouth Goldsmith was
one Of these, but his prime adherence

pose after he had been reading some I'M

ways praising her: You seem to think
that woman could write" and he forbore
whitening me with his scorn, apparently
because we had been friends so long, and
he more pitied than hated me for my bad
taste, writes w. D. Howells. in Harper's.
He seemed not to have any preferences
among novelists; or at least I never heard
him express any. He used to read the
modern novels praised. in or out Of
print. but I do not think he much liked
reading fiction. AS for plays. he loathed
the theater and said he would as lief do
sum as follow a plot on the stage He
could not. or did not. give any reasons
he really had none. But he could have

favorites among the poets, but he had
favorite poems which he liked to read
to you. and he read, Of course, splendidly.
Generally, I fancy his pleasure in

He liked to find out these good things
for himself; sometimes he would dis
