Machinery
 For Alaskan
 Development.

The biggest bargain sale of machinery in history is promised upon the com pletion of the Panama canal. To dis pose of machinery costing more than $15,000,00O is the problem confronting government authorities when the canal is opened.
 Although understood in general way, Colonel Goethals, superintendent of the canal work, reports actual figures bought since the United States began digging the "big ditch.' Here are few of the principal items:
 Steam shovels, 1O2; cars, 41S1 loco- motives, 1S9; rock drills, 725; cranes, 79; dredges, II; barges, A.
 Many of the locomotives and cars will be useful in operating the canal and the Panama railroad, but most of the dredges, steam shovels and mountains of other steel implements will be put on the block for sale.
 Secretary of the Interior Fisher is in favor of transferring much of the dis carded machinery to Alaska If con- gress does not authorize the federal railroad in Alaska, however, most of the Panama machinery will be sold for the best price it will bring
 Colonel Goethals emphatically de- clares, however, that the French plan of leaving discarded machinery to rot and rust will not be adopted by this country. Uncle sam is too thrifty. Old, cor, roded, discarded machinery, once used by the French in their attempt to dig a canal were monuments of their failure, lining the canal route until the Ameri- cans took charge. Some of the old French material was used, but most of it was dumped into the jungle far away from the excavations.
 That much of this discarded machin- cry will be purchased for a song and shipped to Alaska by private companies, to be used in working the low grade placers is extremely likely Tacoma Times.

KNEW DEATHOF
GENERAL NEAR
Commander Booth of American
Branch Suffers Nervous Col
lapse. However.

New York, Aug. c0.-News Of the death
Of General Booth in London was com.
municated to Miss Evangellne Booth. his
daughter. at the Salvation Army head
quarters here shortly after the receipt of
the news dispatches tonight. Although
Miss Booth who Is head of the Salvation
Army in America had thought herself
prepared for the event. having known OF
her fathers sinking condition. she was
greatly affected. During the afternoon
she had received a warning by cable that
her father was on the verge OF the
river" but when the death was confirmed
to her by a private message later, she
suffered complete nervous breakdown.
Commander Booth herself has not
been in good health since a nervous
collapse last spring. Her condition to-
night was such that 1t was said at
headquarters that it could not be de-
termined tonight whether Miss
Booth would go to London to her
fathers funeral.
Miss Booth was very devoted to the
aged general and only last May she
visited him in London to help arrange
for him a farewell tour Of the United
States. but he was then being over
taken with blindness and nervous
breakdown. which latter resulted in
his death.
AT the American headquarters Of the
Salvation Army Miss Booths staff Of
officers and her followers had been pre-
pared for the news and they Immediately
relayed the report of the death to various
local headquarters throughout the coun-
try At the same time a movement was
launched for the holding of simultaneous
memorial services throughout the world
a week from next Sunday, IL possible, to
complete arrangements In that time.
The last VISIT which General Booth
paid to America was on his S0th birth :
day four years ago, when he was ac-
| cor1ed honors in many places. In this
city there was n meeting which over
flowed Carnegie Hall in his honor. at
which he was eulogized as "a re-incar-
nation of one of the fiery fathers Of
| the ancient church whose gift OF
method and system enabled him to or
ganize and perfect colossal system
of militant soul saving and benevo-
| lence."

England. at the age of Is years, William
Booth ended 1t at 81 as head of an army
of millions of Salvationists scattered
through 81 countries.
He fought many real battles In the
slums Of London and often was in peril
OF losing his life In the cause, but with
those who rallied to his support ne form
ed the nucleus Of his great movement
which was first given the name Of the
christian mission" The present Saliva
ton Army was never foreseen nor was
the name ever deliberately chosen by any
one. Mr.. Booth was debating to
stanographer when he used the words:
THE Christian mission Is a volunteer
army" When he looked over the paper
later he substituted salvation for
volunteer" as the stronger word, ana
the phrase struck fire among bis mission
workers who seized the militant spirit

LAST WORDS OF GENERAL.
Almost the last words OF General
Booth were uttered just before he lost
consciousness. He was referring TO

great difficulty, said:

Will include the lying in state for sew

London to Abney Park.
Colonel Kitching said that UP -
Saturday General Booth showed

| I'VE had not expected the end quite so
soon," said Colonel Kitching. THE gen.
eral died very peacefully and quietly,
\ without the slightest struggle. His
breathing simply became less and less

| operation may have accelerated death but
I do not believe it was the cause of his
demise. l think perhaps the disappoint-
| ment following the non-return of the gen.

than the operation itself"

after the operation indications justified
the hope Of the generals recovery. Then.
however. septic poisoning set in and

steadily declined. The general recognized
that tho end was near and often spoke
of his work as being finished.
