CANAL TOLLS ARE FIXED
MERCHANT VESSELS ARE TO PAY
$1.2o PER TON NET OF AcTU-
AL CARRYING CAPACITY.
Rates Practically the Same as Those
to Be in Force at the
Suez Canal.

Observation-Disclosures Taft has
issued a proclamation fixing the rates
that the foreign shipping of the
world shall pay for passage through
the Panama canal. The proclamation
made under the authority of the canal
act, passed by congress in August, es
tablishes a merchant vessel, rate of
S1.20 per net ton of actual carrying
capacity, with a reduction of 40 per
cent. on ships in ballast.
The provisions of the proclamation
are as follows:
81. On merchant vessels carrying
passengers or cargo, $1.2O per net
vessel ton-each 100 cubic feet-ot
actual earning capacity.
49, On vessels in ballast without
passengers or cargo, 40 per cent. less
than the rate of tolls for vessels with
passengers or cargo.
"3. Upon naval vessels, other than
transports, golfers, hospital ships and
supply ships, fifty cents per displace
ment ton.
81. Upon army and navy transports,
GOLFERS, hospital ships and supply
ships, s1.20 per net ton, the vessels
to be measured by the same rules
as are employed in determining the
net tonnage of merchant vessels.
"The secretary of war will prepare
and prescribe such rules for the meas
urement of vessels and such regula'
tons as may be necessary and proper
to carry this proclamation into full
force and effect
American coastwise shipping was
exempted from toll payment by con
gress. 1t was to this provision OF the
act that Great Britain automatically
protested. No reference to the Incl
dent was made in the presidents proc.
lamation
American naval vessels are exempt
ed without specific mention, either in
the act of congress or the proclama'
ton. because the authorities believed
it unnecessary to explain the useless
ness of payment from its navy depart
ment pocket to the one belonging to
the treasury department. The rates
named are practically the same as
will be in force at the Suez canal
next year.

belgrade, Servia.-The Turkish
lorlfess of Monastir has surrendered
TO the Servian troops.
Fifty thousand Turkish soldiers and
three generals laid down their arms
Mohastlr virtually had been sur,
rounded by Servian troops for some
time, while Greek troops coming from
the south, had cut off the Turkish line

Monastir is the headquarters of the

ed by Fethi Pasha but many other
turkish troops, fleeing from surround.
ing towns which had been captured
by the Servians, concentrated there.
David Pasha, the commander of the
seventh Turkish army corps. went
mere with many of his soldiers after
tne fall OF Uskup to the Servians.
Possession of the heights command.
ing Monastir by the Servian army
rendered the fortress untenable.
Fethi Pasha, former Turkish minis.
ter to Belgrade, was one of the first
TO hand over his sword. At the be.
ginning of the war he made the re-.
mark: 1--WE will soon invite our
friends to dinner in Belgrade"
London, England.-Any idea that
the Turkish government may have
had of benefiting by continued re.
slstance must be shattered by the
news of the fall of Monastir. In the
capture of that important town the
SerVlans took three pashas. including
the commander-in-chief, Zekki Pasha
$4,000 men and fortyseven guns, thus
achieving the greatest individual sue
cess of the war.
Monastir was the second city of
importance in European Turkey. 1t
was Turkeys stronghold in Macedo
mia, and by its downfall Macedonia
passes completely out of Turkish
hands.
With cholera and typhus raging
within her demoralized army, and a
powerful enemy hammering at her
gates, Turkey again appeals to the
allies for terms.

ORIGIN OF "AuLD LANG sYNE."
First Author Unknown, But Robert
Burns Revised II.

At this festive season of New Year,
Scots in every cline are foregatherinS
TO sing the songs of Scotland to keep
green the sacred customs of our ances-
tors, and, assuredy, no gathering can
be brought to satisfactory close by
other means than by the singing of the
Scottish national anthem, "Auld Lang
Syne." The position which this classic
occupies in the hearts of Scotsmen i5
separate and distinct from that of any
other song. What il represents to the
Scot in wealth of feeling and depth of
sentiment no pen can describe--it is one
of the tics which bind "brither Scots
into one indssolublc whole.
IL is universally known that Burns is
the author OF the song i'll its present

THE SUPREME COURT TO-DAY.

President Taft has now appointed a

this change has taken place within less

has not been equalled in like space OF

which has not been equalled by another

Washington, Jackson and Lincoln.

Justices jay, Rutledge and Ellsworth

four years also named five, including
Chief Justice Chase. But Grant IN eight
years appointed only four. including
Chief Justice Waite, while Cleveland in
his two SEPARATED terms appointed tour
including Chief Justice Fuller,
With Washington came the original

In many localities in the West and

cal corn growing contests are being
organized by county superintendents,

ness men, clubs of various kinds and
so or. The idea is worthy of eNpan-
sion in all directions in the agrieul-
turaI world. as tending toward inter
estine and enthusing young blood in
farming. When our boys learn to be
proud of the agriculture profession,
they will find that no calling under
tie sun las so much fascination in its
pursuit, al the trading with nature.
Let the good work of interesting and
encouraging the farm boys go ON.
