new SHORT CUT
TO PANAMA CANAL

The long discussion as to whether
the Panama canal will pay expenses or
any interest on this vast investment
has at last been definitely answered by
President Taft's announcement of the
canal tolls. 1t is figured conservatively
that the income from ships tolls will
be $40, 600, 600 a lyear, perhaps more,
/ from the very start, allowing safe
margin Of profit after meeting all cur
rent expenses. The fixing Of the rates
meanwhile serves to remind the gen.
eral public that the great canal is now
an accomplished fact. After so many
years Of work the great ditch has been
dug as deep as it need to go, and the
enormous system of locks for raising
and lowering the world S largest steam
ers are practically complete. 1t only
remains to add the finishing touches, a
work Of few months more, and the
canal will be thrown open to the com
merce of the world.
The rapidly approaching completion
of the canal has Served to attract thou
sands of visitors from all parts of the
world.
The proportion of American visitors
is Of course by far the greatest. The
canal makes a patriotic appeal to every
citizen of the United States. In order
! to accommodate tourists from the mid
die west a convenient short cut has
been arranged by sending special
cruises from New Orleans as we'll as
from New York. This does away with
the long journey which many people
from the west were obliged formerly
to take to New York to connect with
the Panama boats.
The cruise from New Orleans to
Panama stopping at Havana, Cuba,
and Kingston, Jamaica, may be made
in two weeks. The palatial Hamburg
/ American liner. Kronprinzessin Cecilie,
will make two special cruises to the
! lsthmus of Panama, sailing January
% and February 10, the first cruise of
Is and the second of l6 days duration.
On these cruises the steamer carries
no freight and her schedule is arranged
entirely for the convenience of the
tourists. This steamer has been popu-
lar for years in the regular Atlantic
service and assures all the comforts
and luxuries of modern ocean travel.
For the American tourist the Panama
trip is today doubtless the most inter
esting in the world. On these cruises
ample time is allowed on reaching
Colon to cross the isthmus. stopping
at the various points of interest. The
calls at Cuba and Jamaica will be one
! or more days in length allowing time
! for inland trips. The weather cOndi-
tions throuhgOut the West Indies at
this season are ideal making a very
; welcome relief from the cold of our
: northern winters. The entire cruise
may be made within the limits of a
brief vacation.

WASTE

How often in the bustling days Of
modern business are our old, lingering
senses of Puritanical frugaIty touched
as we behold some evidnece of stu
pendous waste confronting US. While
it is an age of progress in lines of man
ufacture, owing to the unbending ener-
gies of men to accomplish their ends,
no matter what the cost, be that cost
one left for the future to deal with.
An enormous waste takes place daily
the country over, where heat from
burning coal develops energy. Many
examples of many different kinds Of
waste might be pointed out, But let
us seek those nearer home.
Even here in the Hood River valley
how much good wood is burned yearly
in the slashings of land being cleared
for orchards2 How many feet OF tim
ber are burned that would make mar
ketable lumber? The latter item may
not figure to any great extent. and vet
it is very true that every spring hun
dreds of straight fir logs feed flames
that light up the hills and valleys along
the Hood river and across the Colum-
bia in the White Salmon and Under
wood districts. OF course, the land
must be cleared. Under the existing
conditions it is not profitable to cut the
logs for the lumber mills nor even to
saw it into wood in many cases. Yet
it is deplorable, is it not, to see this
prodigality?
1t is said that even the stumps Of
the broad tracts awaiting the pow may
be redeemed by process whereby tur
pentine and pitch may be produced
We should evolve some means o.
making the most of these by-producti
of our land clearing. The'larger cor
porate interests Of the counry, becaus,
of the profit they derive from them
have developed enormous by-product
industries. The Standard Oil Co. an,
he big packing plants may be cited al
examples of his,
The keynote of redemption lies il
that one word, profit If the process
of getting turpentine from stump
proves profitable. then the wreckage o
the forests left in the wake of the bi,
lumber companies will be utilized an,
the land will be a revenue before crop
are titled. Only the shifting of econo
mic conditions and adjustments o
them can bring about the conservation
of marketable timber, if it be on
tract desired for agricultural or horti
cultural pursuits.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

intiamed condition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumhling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
