"The most striking characteristics
Of Spencer's face is his lobeless ear,
believed by many to be a certain
sign of degeneracy. The nose, chin
and mouth are good, though the lat,

once have indicated vigor and deter
mination. The beetle brow shows a
pugnacious disposition. The sloping
forehead may mean nothing and ev-
erything. A front view of the face
discloses that it is decidedly lopsided,
heavier on the right side than on the
left. The belief that a crooked face
indicates a crooked character is not
far wrong.

GUN THAT WASN'T LOADED

Three or four Delta residents were

onize, Nicaragua, Costa Rico, the Mos
quito coast or any part of Central
America.
Thus it is to be seen that Great
Britain gave up her rights, while the
United States gave up nothing but
gained rights under this treaty, and
by it, it was agreed that the canal
when built from ocean to ocean should
'be for the benefit of mankind on equal
terms to all. For the purpose of more
fully setting forth the above, ! quote
section eight of the treaty which is
the explicit agreement for equality of
treatment between these two great
nations.
THE government of the United
States and Great Britain not only hav-
ing desired, in entering into this con-
vention, to accomplish a partnership
object, but also to enter into a gen.
eral principle, they hereby agree to
extend their protection, by treaty stip-
ulations to any other practicable COM
munications, whether by canal or rail
way across the Isthmus which con-
meets North and South America, and
especially to the interoceanic commun-
ications, should the same prove to be
practicable, whether by canal or rail
way which are now proposed to be
established by way of Tehuantepec or
Panama. In granting, however, their
joint protection to any such canals
or railways as are by this article speci.
United States and Great Britain that
the parties constructing or owning
the same shall impose no other charg
eses or conditions of traffic thereupon
than the aforesaid governments shall
approve of as just and equitable; and
that the same canals or railways
being open to the citizens and sub
jects of the United States and Great
Britain on equal terms, shall also be
open on like terms to the citizens ant
subjects of every other state which

,of the Hay-Paunceforte treaty which
was executed Nov. IS, 1901.
BY the last treaty it was provided
that the canal was to be constructed

States either directly, at its own cost,
or by gift or loan 10 individuals or
corporations, or subscription of stock,

right Hereunder to construct, main
tain and govern the canal, with all
the necessary rights for our protec-
tion during war.
So it will be seen and appreciated
that in all fairness, Great Britain is
strictly within her rights in demand
ing the right to use the canal upon
equal terms with ourselves.
Since the very foundation of this

we must concede to Great Britain her

David Corsaut

One of the old timers in the valley
passed away last Saturday night at his
home east of town. Mr.. Corsaut was
born in London. Canada, in the year OF
1924 and his life has been spent in con-
siderable travel. He first went to I'LL
nois in 1874 and was married in 1S48.
In 1S49 he went to California during
the rush to the west in the hunt for
gold. His travels from that time un-
til he came to Colorado in 1874 cover
ed trip across the Isthmus of Pan
ANA and through some of the southern
states. In 1888, he with his wife and
son. George. came to the North Fork
valley, where they have resided since.
His life and travels, If put in the form
of book would be most interesting
reading, showing the different states
he had lived in during the early days.
He was living in Iowa at the time
of It's admittance to the Union, also
was in California and Colorado at the
time of their coming into the Union.
He was the eldest of family OF

The Panama Canal

Mr.. EDITOR
Much has been said and very little
written regarding why Great Brit
ain asked for arbitration over Panama
Canal tolls.
| believe the average public, which
is too busy in other matters to in
vestigate this proposition, does not
have a correct understanding of the
underlying reason why Great Britain
makes this demand. For this reason
the writer Graves your indulgence, be-
lieving many of your readers will ap-
preciate this effort
In the discussion of this matter
shall quote more or less extensively
from the speech of Hon. Elihu Root
of New York, delivered in the United

Congress, during the last days of
last summer enacted a law for the
administration of the Panama canal,
in which provision was made for dis
elimination between the tolls to be
charged foreign vessels and vessels

Sometime prior to 1900, for the pur-
pose of preparing to construct ship

Atlantic ocean, all mems minds were
centered upon the Nicaragua route,
as being the only feasible one.

of protectorate over the Mosquito
coast, a great stretch of coast upon
the east shore of Central America)
of the eastern end of the route, which
at that time men believed to be the
only available route; hence the U. S
sought a treaty with Great Britain by
which Great Britain should renounce
her advantage and admit the u. S
TO equal participation with her in the
construction, control and protection o.
the canal across the Isthmus. From
this came the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
This treaty was not sought by Grea
Britain, but by the United States.

Varieties of Ducks,

Today we have II acknowledged
varieties of ducks, viz: Pekin, Ayles-
bury, Rouen, Indian Runner, Crested
White, White Mdscovy, Colored Mus
covy, Cayuga, White Call, Gray Call
and Black East Indians.
For real practical purposes, only
recommend the first four classes and
in the order that have named them,
the Pekin being the most extensively
bred and probably as good as an all
round market duck as there is today;
but they are the most timid, and con-
sequently more liable to get panic
stricken when raised in large num-
oers, says a writer in an exchange.
Standard weight of adult brakes,
eight pounds; ducks, seven pounds.
AS to laying qualities the Pekins
are outclassed only by single breed.
1t Is common thing for Pekin duck
to lay from 100 to 125 eggs in a single
season.

POULTRY

FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGGS
Though Nearly Half Water, Their
Contents Are Extremely Nutritious
-comparison With Meat.

Many persons often ask what an
few ever find out to their entire salts
faction. A test at the department of
agriculture shows that the white of an
egg is nearly seven-eighths water, the
balance being nearly pure albumen.
The yolk is slightly less than one-half
water. This is true of the eggs of
chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. In
comparing the eggs of these various
birds the department of agriculture
quotes the following figures:
Hen eggs, so per cent. water, Is
per cent. protein, SO per cent. fat.
Goose eggs, "A per cent water, 10
per cent. protein, SO per cent. fat.
Duck eggs, 46 per cent. water, II
per cent. protein, SO per cent. fat.
Turkey eggs, 48 per cent. water, IS
per cent. protein, 33 per cent fat.
OF course, farmers understand that
protein goes to make muscle and
blood, while fat is fuel for running the
machinery of the body. Thus it will
be seen that eggs, though half or near
ly half water, are extremely nutritious,
containing all the elements required
for the building and support of the
body. There is no truth, however, in
the old saying that an egg contains
as much nutriment as pound of
steak. It would be nearer correct to
estimate a pound of eggs as being
equal to pound of lean steak in nu-
tritious value.
