THE CANAL AND THE NORTH
 WEST
Oregon Lumber Will Go East by
 Way of Panama.

As to Portland, nothing needs to be said farther than that it is all ready one of the big grain shippers Of America. With Cello canal com = pleted, giving the city access to an inland empire for 400 miles. it is hardly necessary to give any proofs ol how it will benefit from Panama. Before the opening of the waterway ul to the Columbia, the freight rate from Portland to The Dalles used to be $640 a ton on nails. When the river traffic began the rate dropped to B. Where the river steamers run the rate on salt is $150 for eighty eight miles. Beyond the steamers that salt has to carry a rate of $S for a hundred miles. In fact, though there gre some very sore heads in Port land over the city going into civic stevedOring and civic steamboatiEg, you can set it down that Portland knows exactly what she is doing The prize it aims at is to bring down the traffic of that inland empire via Portland and Panama.-Agnes C I.aut in the American Review of Re . views.

Reinforced concrete OF Old Rorce.

REINFORCED Concrete OF Old Ropre.
Although concrete has been us ed
for many centuries, it is generally sup
posed that reinforced concrete as, a
modern invention. This, however, h@s
been disproved, according to Popular
Mechanics by the finding Of bronze
reinforcing rods In the concrete roof
of an ancient Roman tomb, and in the
discovery Of reinforced concrete in
the construction of one of the walls
OF the old palace of the Louvre, Paris.
The reinforced concrete in the lat.
ter dates back only 800 or 400 years,
but created much comment because
the walls were thought to consist en-
tirely of ashlar and quarry stone The
discovery that the stone casing con-
cealed a core composed in part OF re-.
tnforced concrete was made while
Workmen were piercing the wall for

KEEPS HENS AT THEIR WORK
Simple Continuance Used by Western
Man Cures Them Of Desire

Owners OF hens are frequently
greatly annoyed by the persistent de-
sire Of their fowls to set, In season

evolved a plan to circumvent the hen

the cure consists OF a cheap watch,

longing to this westerner manifests

places the bogus egg under her shell

fully away, and soon the hen begins to
evince signs Of uneasiness and stirs
the noisy egg around with her bill,
thinking, no doubt, that It Is already
time for 1t to hatch. She becomes
more ana more uneasy as the noise
continues, and soon jumps on the nest
and runs about q while to cool OF.
Soon, however, she returns to her self.

worse; she wiggles about and cackles,
ruffies her feathers and generally
shows distress. Finally, with n Wild
squawk, she abandons the nest for
good and all. and the incubating fever
is broken completely.
The westerner has found use for
half a dozen of these noisy eggs, and
he claims that they pay for themselves

CHURCH WOMEN
CAN NOW VOTE.
Long Discussed Question
Settled at Diocesan Convention

Mount Holly. May 9:-The adop-
ton of a resolution giving women
parishiOners the right to vote at
elections for yestrymen was n of
the important actions taken yester-
day at the closing session Of the an
nual convention of the p. f. Diocese
of New Jersey, in st. Andrews
church, here. This old question has
caused considerable discussion and
debate in previous conventions and
had been so thoroughly gone over
that not much discussion was neCes-
sary yesterday, especially after Bish-
OPP Scarborough had expressed a
hope that the resolution would be
adopted, as the women, in many
cases, are In control of the eduCa-
tional and much of the spiritual ad-
vancement of the diocese. 1t was
also pleasing to the bishop to see so
many ladies present in the owen
ton, as elsewhere they do not seem
to have as much interest in the pro-
ceedings.
The bishop was empowered to APP
point a committee on church archt-
lecture, to consist of two Clergymen
and two laymen. TO this committee
is to be submitted for approval or
disapproval all plans for the cree
ton of churches and Chapels and
also for alterations to such church
property.
Edward Fl. Lewis, of Mount Holly,
was elected treasurer of the diocese
to succeed the late Captain Charles
Evan Merritt, also of Mount Holly.
Mr.. Lewis has been serving since
Captain Merritt's death.
