IL DAYS FROM PORTLAND
TO GOTHAM BY WATER

Twelve DAYS from Portland to New
York by water upon the completion
of the Panama canal is the schedule
predicted by Captain A. w. Nelson of
the steamer Beaver, plying between
Portland and San Francisco. More
over, he SAYS freight will be carried
for Sc a ton, as against S28 now
charged by the railroads, and he be-
lieves the canal will be in operation
within two years.
Captain Nelson was formerly in
command of the steamer City of Para
and he has been making trips to the
canal region for the past ten years.
He is considered as familiar with the
canal work az anyone outside of the
government employ. He left the
Isthmus last month.
The Panama canal will bring the
greatest development of Pacific coast
resources that | know off, said Cap
tain Nelson. 1.-Two years from now
lumber will be shipped from Portland
to New York for IS a thousand. To
ship lumber BY rail to New York is
an impossibility today. The charges
are three and four times what the
lumber is worth.
Il was told upon unimpeachable
authority that in two years time ] can

/ can almost take her now. With the
Gatun gates finished and the balance
OF the dirt and rock out cf the Guile
bra cut. the Beaver would go through
with east. Pacific coast people do
not realize how close this big event
is at hand. Business men should get
ready for the big growth that will
folio won this coast.
1T is the opinion on the canal zone
that CHARGES for use Of this great
waterway will be 81 a ton, a very
reasonable price insomuch as Suez, I
am told. charges So a ton. President
Taft has recommended a charge of
81 in his message. The Panama
canal. in my opinion, will make Port
land a city of 10000 quicker than
all the railroads hat can be built in
twenty years. Mark my word, this
coast is going to boom"

NO Beantlfv the Alamo.

The Civic Improvement league has
started a movement to tear down he
framework and all the new portion on
the Convent building adjoining the
chapel of the Mission San Antonio de
Valero. known throughout the world
as the Alamo, and the chief point of
interest in the historically rich city
of San Antonio. The cooperation of
the Daughters of the Republic Of
Texas, the incoming state administra-
ii m, and the legislature, and all patri-
otto and civic bodies having an in
terest in the preservation of the ven
cradle pile, will be asked.
The state Of Texas now own the
properly, which stands in the heart
OF the city, facing Alamo plaza. 1t
Is not proposed to touch in any way
the chapel building, where the last
stand was made by 1872 Americans un-

Bowie when Santa Ana three times
with five thousand troops assaulted
the Alamo, finally hosting h Next

been killed. The beginning of The
battle March 6, 1895, conferred around
the convent part of the old mission.
This extended in a square out from
the chapel. The walls crumbled after
the several days bombardment from
the Mexican cannon Under Travis
and Crockett, a small annon possess
ed by the Americans was trained from
these walls on the Mexican infantry
and cavalry. When San Antonio was
finally wrested from the Mexican
rule, the United States government,
built up the convent walls partly by
masonry and partly by timber and used
il as a cornmissary warehouse. 1t Is
now proposed to tear all this modern
construction off and reveal the ruins
as they appeared after the fall of the
Alamo. The interior will be parked
and beautified by fountains. 1t will
be an effective setting TO the chapel,
making hat historic pile more inn
pressive by its reminder OF, the terrible
