BIG CANALS ARE
PAYING PROPERTY
suez Canal Returns Large Dividends
and Panama Canal Will do


WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Two bat
tie ships are to be assigned to Presi-
dent Taft's trip to the Panama Canal
in November. The president is greatly
interested in the canal and seeks in
formation as to it's financial and other
needs first hand. He visited the canal
site first when secretary of war and
keeps in close touch with affairs
there.
That the Panama Canal will prove
as good an investment. If not better,
than the suez Canal is the belief in
Washington. Consul General John l..
Griffiths Of London furnishes the fol
lowing information concerning the in
vestment made by the British govern
ment in Suez Canal shares:
"The purchase price of the Suez
Canal shares was $19,352,037. The
amounts received for interest and
dividends for the five years up to
January /, 1910 were: 1866, S5,125,-
997; 1867, s5,129,427; 19O7-s, s5,4sS.-
543; 19os-O9, $5,15O.t77; 1909-10, So
140,034. There was received for inter
est and dividends from January I,
1895, to January l. 1910, both inclu-
sive, s66,6G1,71s.
prior to July 1, 1894, interest on
the purchase money was paid by the
khedive of Egypt The total amount
SO paid from the date of purchase
was s17,690,645. 1t will be noted that
the investment, which was severely
criticised at the time 1t was made,
has proved an exceedingly profitable
transaction and has yielded profita-
BILE results to the shareholders"

Women Study Bird Life.

Large numbers of local women
roaming through all the city parks
and the suburb stretches of pretty
country sweeping the horizon with
opera glasses are the signs of new
fad that has struck the city The
women have taken to studying bird
life and nature in imitation of the
school children who have been doing
1t for some time under orders from
their teachers. According to public
library attaches there has been a
greater call for books dealing with
bird life during the last week or two
than previously was made for months
Numerous of the women's clubs have
taken up the study jointly, forming
automobile trips to the country spots
and the haunts of birds.-Omaha Bee
