SIT" MAKES A SHIPMENT

The steamer Northland this week loaded a shipment of over 300 tons of ore at the It mine for the smelIer at Tacoma. The ore was gotten out during de- velopment work during the lat ter part of the last season, and according to assays already ta- ken, carries exceptionally good values. The present high price of copper offers great induce ments to shipping at this time.

Not only would advantages accrue
to the English and American nations
through such an alliance at home,
but the advantage would be pressed
in the colonies. England has all OF
India, all of Canada, South Africa
and other d slant possessions. The
United States has the Philippine
Islands, Hawaii and Alaska. Alaska
is separated from the United States
by British territory. In case OF wal
between the United States and Eng
land Alaska would be completely cut
off by the English, but if England
and the United States were joined the
whole of North America north OF
Mexico. would be continuous Anglo
American territory.
Both India held by the English,
and the Philippines held by the
United States, would be greatly
strengthened. Should Japan declare
war today and attack the Philippines
the United States might lose those
islands because we could not gel
battleships there inside of a month.
With India as basis, the .spands
would be more securely protected.
We have Hawaii. and England has
Australia. The same circumstances
NAV be conceived with relat ons 70

ced to a full generalship in the United

This distinction has been held by
only four military officers i'll the
history Of the government-Washing-
ton, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
Prominent among the men who
favor such an honor for Col. Cocktails
is Representative James r. Mann, OF
Illinois, who with a party of other
Congressional members of the APP
propriations Committee has just re-
turned from an inspection of the
zones.

the suggestion will carry much

Foreign Commerce Committee of the
House until the Democratic party
came into control of the House in

handled the original legislation au-

Representative Mann said he thought
the nat on should also snow sub
stantial appreciation of the work
done by Col. David B. Gallard, Col.
Harry F. Hodges and Col. William
F. Shibert of the army, Civil Engineer
Broussard of the navy and others re-
sponsible fer the successful compile
ton of the canal He suggested THAT
they, too should be rewarded but did
not Indicate the way in which 1t
might be done.
'TEle| building of the Panama
Canal said the Illinois Congressman,
constitutes the greatest engineering
feat in the history of the world. The
wonderful ability of Col. Goethals
and his associates and their perfect
organization have made possible the
success of the undertaking. The ma
ton should reward them. The very
least that could be done for Cocktails
would be to make him a full general
in tine army of corresponding rank
with Admiral Dewey, the only officer
OF that rank in the navy. l certainly
favor the legislation which will give
Col. Cocktails TIN S rank for the re-
mainder of his natural life. The trl-
umphs OF the army in times OF peace
should be recognized and rewarded
as we'll as the triumphs growing out
Of war.
81 fail to see where there can be
any just opposition raised within the
army itself to the granting of such a
reward.
Il have no doubt that the nation
will award recognition to these men,
Il have tried to think Of some other
fern of reward, but 1.-The only thing
that appeals to me is to do for Col.
Goethals exactly what he d Id for Ad-
miral Dewey after the battle of Man
liza Bay-give him the highest rank
attainable and let him keep it as
long as he lives. This, l think, can be-
done by appropriate legislation with
out affecting the status of the other
officers of the army.
"a full generalship would not be
too great a reward for Col. Goethals :
He has proved himself to be one on
I the greatest engineers OF history and,
after giving him this recognit on, thei
nation could avail itself of his SER
vices as distinguished consulting
eng neer i'll army OF it's future pro
jec,s.
In reply to question whether Mr.
Mann would himself take the initia-
tive in proposing the legislation sug-
gested, he said that the proposition
should or 'ginate with the Democratic
side Of the governments which would
be in power when the canal is COM
pleted and opened; but that he re-
garded the move as an entirely non
partisan one.

The great abundance of granite
rocks and the lack Of timber In the
southern part Of Switzerland have led
to the employment of the former for
purposes usually filed by the latter.
Thus In many sections Of the southern
country the fences are Of granite in
stead Of wood, the supports for the
grapevines are granite posts, and
pavements. etc, are of granite Per
haps the most striking departure from
the ordinary. however, is the use Of
granite pillars in place OF the usual
