thcmselves)' and with consequent
high transfer cost. Often, indeed, rail
lines are positive obstacle to the
handling of water traffic, instead of
d benefit.
Terminal charges are considerable
factor in water traffic, especially
"dockage." a charge on the vessel. and
wharfage" charge on the freight
IpaSSing over the wharf. Particularly
on the Mississippi system, excessive
landing charges have hindered traffic.
Such high landing charges, togeth-
Ter with the absence of adequate term
inals, show forcibly the extreme lack
/ of cooperation between the localities
and the Federal Government The
Governments enormous expenditures
on chaglpsts are in many cases largely
Ineutralized by the action or monaco
ton of the local authorities on term
inals. There has been. indeed some
excellent local cooperation in channel
work. as at Portland, Greg, Seattle,
Cleveland and Buffalo, but the far
greater need is for local cooperation
| in terminals. Localities should, as a
rule, be required to furnish and keep
| open adequate terminals as con-
dition precedent to channel improve
lment by the Federal Government.
1t is their fair share of the work, and
they alone can do it effectively.
There are thus five salient facts:
First, that terminals are as important
as channels; second. that our harbors
have not fully developed their term
final frontage. nor are they properly
organized or controlled; third. that
railroads largely control water termin-
| ais. often to the disadvantage of gem
eral water traffic; fourth. that there
lis almost no linking up of the rail
and general water systems at the
waters edge. but rather the opposite
tendency; fifth, that there is little CO.
operation by localities with the Fed
eral Government which improves their
lchannels.
Probably the greatest single deter
rent to water terminal advance is the
present adverse attitude of rail lines
toward Independent water traffic, in
their exclusive control of frontage, in
general water traffic, and in refusal
to prorate generally with water lines
lin through movements of traffic. I'm
It'll this underlying relation of rail to
water systems is adjusted on some
common-sense basis of harmony,
there is little hope of great advance
lin water terminal conditions.

for damage done their crops by gray
squirrels.
In view of the fact that there is a.
perpetual close time on these squirrels
all over the State, the commissioners
nave explained to all these parties
that in their opinion they are not
ophged TO see their property DESTROYED
by any wild bird or wild animal; that
they would be justified sin killing any
such bird or animals, even though it
might be close time for the same
which was doing actual, substantial
damage to his property, but the dam
age must be real, substantial, not
merely imaginary; one could not plead
damage to property as an excuse for
taking such action he must be able
to show sufficient substantial damage
in order to be protected
In this connection it has been sug-
gested that an open season be placed
on gray squirrels, for the same period
as the open season on partridge
In nearly all states, except Maine
where gray squirrels are found an open
season is provided on them, as they are
much sought as game.

partment of agriculture which has

other subjects considered are the mar

the marketing of poultry, selection of

|STHM|AN CANAL PROGRESS
IS ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY

by divisions and by units of the work"
There was steady increase from
the beginning of the past fiscal year in
the number of employees on the canal
zone-until on March 30 last, they
reached maximum of 1856, the larg-
est force on record This includes
those employed on the Panama rail-
iroad. The total force at the end of
the year was 35,57S, as compared with
| 33, 493 year earlier.
Investigations carried on during the
year indicate, says Col. Goethals, that
during ordinary years there will be a
considerable surplus of water from
Gatun Lake, even in the dry season,
and that the water supply of the worst
known dry season for the last nine
teen years, namely that of 1908, would
be sufficient to maintain through the
canal an average daily number of pas
sages three or four times as great as
the average number now passing the
Suez Canal, this after making reason
able deducations for evaporation, leak
age, power supply and lockages."
Health conditions on the Isthmus are
reported to be an improvement over
those of the preceding year; and no
cases of plague or yellow fever origin
ated on the Isthmus during the year.
The daily average of sick was 23 out of
every thousand employed as against
2S49 during the preceding year, and
the total number of deaths among EN-.
ployees was SAB, equivalent to an aver.
age of 1884 per thousand

EXPENSE CLAIM INCURRED
BY SMITH IS ILLEGAL

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 21.-In an opin-
ion to Assistant Secretary of state
Leo Meyer, delivered Saturday even
ing, Attorney General West holds that
a claim for'$150 EXPENSES incurred by
Secretary Of State Thomas P. Smith
at Oklahoma City, is not legal and can
not be paid by the state.
The part that West holds Illegal is
part of the expense incurred since an
injunction was served on Smith for
bidding him to maintain his offices at
Oklahoma City
The opinion as written does not
touch on the legality of other state ex-
penditures at Oklahoma City, nor does
it mention what the attorney generals
position will be as regards expenses
incurred by the legislature prior to
the time Oklahoma City may be desig-
mated the legal capital of the state.
The attorney generals ruling applies
only to certain classes of expenditure
such a Office rent.
