THE PANAMA CANAL.

The gigantic undertaking of con-
structing the Panama canal is nearing
its end. After seven years, the work
Of excavation is three-fourths COM
pleted. 1t is estimated that it will be
finished Dec. !, 1913. The canal
fully and finally equipped-will be open
for the use Of vessels about a year
later.
The United States government took
charge Of the canal zone May 4, 1904
It's first work was that of locating adj
ministration and workers quarters
and freeing the zone from disease.
The success with which the latter
was performed was a remarkable
achievement in itself. yellow fever

Hest item in all the previous attempts
at construction--was banished entirely.
The zone was made healthful and hab-
table something it never was before.
Accordingly, in the first year only
z4S47z yards OF earth were excavated.
In the second year, however. the
amount excayated was 1,7ss,227 yards.
The yearly excavation then increased
rapidly until in 1908 it totaIed s7,11s.-

GRAVES NOT OF FARGO
Man Who lie Charged With Stealing
Money 10 Not Son Of Mrs. r. Nj.
Graves Of Fargo.

The impression has gone out that
William Graves who refused for a time
to go to Moorhead, where he was
wanted on the charge of larceny, was
William Graves Of Fargo, the son of
Mrs. r.. M. Graves. However. those
who have received this impression are
in error.
The many friends of William Graves
Of Fargo who are out of the city have
been alarmed at the newspaper reports.
However, the Fargo william Graves
has never been mixed In any trouble
whatsoever and his honesty and In
tegrity is such that his friends need
have no fear that he will ever be in
trouble. 1t is regretted that such an
impression has been allowed to spread.

SATURDAY, MAY ", 1911.
MEMORIAL DAY.

Tomorrow is set apart for religious
observance in honor of the soldier
dead. The custom is national-and in
most cities union services will be held.
This beautiful annual tribute to the
memory of the men who fought for
their country is not only an evidence
OF appreciation Of the noble deeds of
the departed heroes--but is also an in
spiration to the youth. 1t teaches pa
triotism and gives the youth broader
and a better conception Of personal sac
riice.
1t is fitting that the annual services
are held. They recall the more serious
side of war--and compel considera-
ton of the responsibilities and TRACE
dies Of the great struggle of half a
century ago.
North Dakota has been honored by
being the later home of many brave
heroes who successfully fought for
their country and afterwards located
in this state. They served faithfully,
escaping the dangers of war to die
peacefully at home. The rapidly thin
ming ranks of the veterans show that
in a few years more, memorial serv-
ices will be held for the entire army.
Fargo citizens should pay their pa
triotic respects tomorrow to valiant
band and attend the Memorial day ex-
ercisea.

OVER THE HILL.

Dusty and bare and long.
Over the hill the loaded vain
Chatters it's merry sang
And back to the hill the highway
The vision of memory steals
Back to the dust OF the byway
Under the passing wheels
Back to the thorn in the fence-row,
The robins nest in the thorn
That Sits it's snow around
The sweet wild rose new born,
Back to the greensward falow
Aslope to the CLASSY pond
That mirrors the skimming swallow
And great green wood beyond.
There walk In the monday
To bask in the summer heat
And battle in the smoky dust cloud
That rose meath my shuffling fleets
To hear the bees low droning
The ocust's MONDAY shrill
Back where the dusty road runs
Over the memored HILL
There where the twilight fingered
Long when the day was done
There where the stars of heaven less
Smiled to by one,
Back to the golden glory
That streamed from the silent moon,
Gone like mythic story
Told in a mothers Groom
Now all heedful Of duty
Now all too pregnant with care
Now all too mindless of beauty
Passing by it unaware,
So have grown, growing
While farther and farther still
There lies in the dim OF the distance
The road that led the hill
