PROMINENT REPUBLICANS
 HEADED FOR WILSON

SEAGIRT. Aug. 15. Charles Murray Crane, of Chicago, formerl! an active supporter of Senator La Toilette, has been asked to accept the important position of treasurer of the Democratic party.

Now the Democrats are flirting with the two eminent but disgruntled bolters in the hope of winning them to the support of Wilson, thing which they seem inclined to do.

CANAL BUILDER ON
 ALASKAN RAILROAD
 By Former Employee of l.

In the August number Of the Worlds Work appears an article en- titled The Builder of the Canal '" farnham Bishop, the author has made careful study of the condi- tions and difficulty of construction on the Canal Zone. and his article is well worth reading In speaking of an interview he had with Colonel Goethals. the ever popular builder Of the greatest engineering feat in the history Of the world Mir Bishop says:
 When I asked him his opinion of road and canal equipment. after it Is no longer needed on the Isthmus for building government railroads in Alaska. Colonel Goethals said:
 Its advisibility must be determ. ined by two things. the cost of trans fer and the character of the roads to be built If what are contem- plated are comparatively short iso. lated lines running from the coast to the coal fields. then our five foot gauge equipment would probably do well enough But if the govern ment is going in for railroad build ing there on a large scale. there would be no economy in anything but new and standard gauge equip ment As for transferring the or sanization from Panama to Alaska there will be none left to transfer"
 This statement by man of the capabilities of Colonel Goethals is most interesting. No man knows more of the constructing of rail roads under adverse conditions than does the whtehaired leader of the forty thousand men who are hasten ing the completion of the most gi santic undertaking of it's kind in
