G. McCroskey of the Pullman State
Bank to the stockholders of that in
stitution have been sent to those for
tunate enough to own stock in the
bank. The banquet is to be given by
the ladies of the Christian church

banquet as a result of an offer he
made when assuming the presidency
of the bank last spring. At that time
he stated that he would give a ban
quet to all the stockholders when the
deposits should reach 100000. Some
time ago the deposits were more than
$40, 1000 and the stockholders called
upon Senator McCroskey to fulfill
his pledge and he gladly does 50. Il

A significant feature of these farm
sales is that the highest prices are
always paid by the men who know
the land and have been engaged in
farming here for from 10 to 80 years.
These men know just what land will
produce and are buying the land for
an investm ent, for they know it will
pay big interest on much more mon
ey than they have paid for it.

Q u R B I @

nRESIDENT TAFT has called the Panama Canal
Il the greatest constructive work of the age. How
stupendouS the task really is it is hard for the aver
age person to realize.
The excavation is divided into two parts that of
the canal prism proper and that of the locks dams
and diversion channels. From the first named
173 600 600 cubic yards of earth and rock will have
been removed by the Americans at the completion of
the canal, and from the second II 600 600 yards
5 000 900 of this from the Gatun locks alone.
The total of all French excavation was 81 900 600
cubic yards, while the American record to NOVem-
ber l. 1909 was 90 600 900 yards, or over half the
total quantity. Each month the great dredges and
steamshovels take out 5000 000 yards, and if the
present of progress is maintained shall have
our canal in 1918
Some idea of what these figures mean may be
gained from the following statements: Placing cubic
yard upon cubic yard the rock and earth from the
Gatun locks alone would extend = $40 miles and
that from all locks and dams SIS miles. The prism
would stretch out 9S, 800 miles, while the total of
American excavation would equal l05 If miles or
more than four times round the globe at the equator
The grand total of American and French would reach
three-ffths of the way to the moon,
As a hole in the ground the Gatun locks would be
519feet deep and the square. All the locks would
be 6SS feet III each direction. The prism would be a
cube ,672 feet deep and the total American T. 40
feet; while the grand total of all excavation would
into the earth. Each day hole measuring l39 feet
in each of its dimensions is dug, and at the end of
each month these dimensions have reached l35 feet

HAD A GULLY TIME.
Colonel Roosevelt Expresses Regret at
Leaving Cheyenne.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 29.-Former
President Roosevelt's stay in Cheyenne
came to a close early this morning. He
left on a special train at 1885 o'clock
for Denver where he is to stay over
night.
Before he left the colonel said that
his two days in Cheyenne had been a
delight to him and that he was sorry
to leave.
One of the speeches which Colonel
Roosevelt is to make in Denver today
is to be before the Colorado legislature.
Some of the friends of direct primar-
les have been hoping that he will touch
upon the subject in his talk to the leg
islators, but it is unlikely that he will
do so. 1t has been the colonel's prac-
tice not to speak on state issues unless
he feels that he is thoroughly &C
quainted with the local situation. and
he has not had an opportunity to IA
miliarize himself in detail with condi-
lions in Colorado. Colonel Roosevelt
said that his ride across the plains
yesterday afternoon and the supper at
Pole Creek ranch was one of the pleas
ATTEST experiences he had ever had. He
rode "a miles and said he could have
made it a hundred miles.
r. s. VanTessel, a veteran ranchman
furnished the mounts and rode with the
colonel, as did James R. Garfield OF
Tor, Winthrop Chanler of Geneseo, N.
Y, and Ex-Governor Barber. During
the ride a heavy rain storm came UP
and the horsemen galloped to a shack
a mile off. They were wet to the skin
and when at last they reached the
shack they found it locked. Mr.. Van
Tassel forced the door and they went
in The place was in the possession or
a large family of mice. The party spent
ee-quarters of an hour there. When
the shower was over they started for
Pole Creek ranch. The last mile of the
ride was a race. 1t was down hill most
of the way and the horses lunged along
over the trail at a terrific pace AS
they came over the crest of the hill
their figures silhouetted against the
darkening sky, the men at the ranch
house who were waiting for them set
up a wild shout.
"Come on Teddy" the cowboys call

urged his horse on and gradually forged
into the lead. The pace was too hot
for Mr. Garfield and Mr.. Barber and
they fell behind but Col. Roosevelt, Mr..
VanTassel and Mr.. Chanler fought 1t
ont to the end. Squirting their horses
on. they thundered down the hill and
into the camp almost neck and neck
Col. Roosevelt and Mr.. VanTassel ran
a dead heat with Mr.. Chanler few
feet behind. The colonel was putting
a bit as he diSmounted, but SAID ne was
not a bit tired.
senator Warren who owns Pole
Creek ranch. led the party into the
ranch house for supper. Governor
Brooks and State Senator Stone were
among the guests game dinner was
served and when somebody asked the
colonel how he liked it, he said: You
are giving a very fine three dinners
Two more courses came after that, he
finally protested that the things that
were served to each man would make a
good deal more than three dinners.
The ride home by automobile in the
starlight, he said, put the finishing
touch on the day.

Crippen said:
Il want to ask a favor of you, but
VIII leave it until Friday"
Friday was the day preceding the ar
rival of the vessel at Liverpool. The
inspector replied as well now as Fri
day. Crippen then said:
When you took me off the ship, at
Quebec, did not see Miss Leneve. I
don't know how things will go. They
may go all right; they may go ali
wrong. may never see her again and
1 want to ask you to let me see her. 1

only comfort for the last three years. .
Crippen was allowed to see his COM
panion in trouble.
At this point Solicitor Newton ques-
toned the witness and drew out the
statement that his client had through
out been perfectly calm and collected
and had given no trouble to those who
had him in charge.

the ranch house where Senator Warren
lives part of the time is the chief one
There are sheds under which the cattle
are driven in hard weather; corrals, a
blacksmith shop, the house of the
major domo, and the shacks in which
the cowboys and range riders sleep:
Everybody in the little village turned
out to welcome Colonel Roosevelt with
cowboy yell. and the colonel shook
hands all round. The cowboys ana
sheep herders were dressed in their Sun
day best. They wore silk shirts OF
flaming colors, with scarfs around
their necks, and caps of red or green
or yellow.
Colonel Roosevelt spent two hours
there. He said he was able TO roe
back to Cheyenne on horseback, put as
it was dark, he decided to make tne
return trip by automobile.

and rolled over him.

on his horse again, and went back IN
