NEW CIVIL GOVERNOR OF CANAL ZONE

President Taft has rendered to
Col G. w. Goethals. U. S. A.. chief
engineer of the Panama canal, and
the colonel has accepted, the post Of
civil governor of the canal zone.
The change of government on the
isthmus will take place probably in
the spring. Colonel Goethals will
serve as civil governor until the canal
is formally opened on January l. 1915
The first vessel will be sent
through the canal, barring the I'M

everything in final shipshape, etc.

Goethals, is now more than Is per

James 'O'Gorman, of New York, said:

funds by the American congress, and,
above all, it is constructed upon
American territory, and I am amazed
that anybody should have the hardi-

fact that even if we were willing to
submit this domestic question to an
arbitral court it would be impossible
to find anywhere an impartial tri-

MAY RECALL HAAKON, KING OF NORWAY

According to common gossip in the
courts of Europe, King Haakon Of
Norway is rapidly losing favor And
judged by the same source of in
formation, it seems apparent he will
soon be discouraged by the Storthing
into giving up his throne.
Just after Haakon left Norway
early in December, with Queen Maud
and Prince Olaf, for London, to do
their Christmas shopping. the Repub-
lican party introduced a bill into the
Storthing abolishing all decorations.
This bill is certain to be passed,

it be odd if she really was above

Not because she has money

because she is sensible enough to

when she gets it. Maybe she

perhaps she is tired of hearing
about the weeks washing and the
weeks fruit canning. Maybe
she likes to learn something new
