The statement made last Thursday
about the rain was correct up to that
time, but the downpour came the follow
ing night, being one Of the most power
full rains of the year, damaging the roads
so that after giving them one day TO
drain Of, . crew turned out Saturday
and made them passable once moro. 1t
does seem as II the fountains must be
nearly filled by this time.
Thanks to Mrs. Laura Buck Of Hyde
Park, Mass, for fine pictorial card, and
also for a copy Of the Christian Science
Sentinel. In addition to large amount
Of religious matter one page 10 given to
items of general interest, one Of which Is
so highly interesting, at least to me,
that deem it worth giving away. Here
it Is: 1.-THE Panama canal is to be open
ed to traffic in the fall OF 1918. The
date for the opening originally was set
Jan. l, 1915, and engineers for some time
had doubted II the engineering difficult
ties could be overcome to permit COM
pletion Of the work by that date, but the
remaining work 10 said to offer few
obstacles."
More than sixty years ago an atlas
came into our family containing this in
formation, In connection with the
isthmus of Darien, as II was then called :
"38 miles wide. Proposed canal" mark
ing the place where the big ditch was
to be dug. That idea has always stuck
In my mind, and no great public work
has been so interesting as the digging Of
the Panama canal; and 1t now looks as
IL might live to see the two Americas
severed by water.
Our thanks are also due our cousin
for an illustrated card, containing these
words at the bottom: "Hybernal Apples.
A. II. Reed, Glencoe, MIMI" Two lit
tie grandchildren stand looking through
the branches of q big apple tree, while
he stands farther away behind big
white horse; the whole making . very
fine picture. Thanks for the present,
Axel.
