THAT although the Kelliher paper put
in lower bid, it was not a legal

pended for two or three months dur
ling the past year.. The Pioneer bid
covered every legal newspaper in the
county. The entire matter was put
over until 10 a. m. Wednesday in
order that Mr. Clementson might take
Ipart in the discussion. The bid of
the Pioneer includes furnishing sup
plements to every legal paper in the
county SO that the readers of all pa
| pers will have an equal opportunity
to read the county legals.

Honor Balboa's Memory.

=
President Taft has made it plain
that sentiment attached to Ralboa's
discovery of the Pacific 400 years ago
Is to figure in the opening of the
canal. During his visit to the zone
last month, the president unequivo-
cally indicated that he favors honor
ing Balboa by having the first ship
sail from ocean to ocean on October
5-exactly 400 years after the Span
lard sighted the Pacific from what is
now the terminus of the canal The
president plans to issue a proclama-
ton before March 4, fixing this date
for the event. An ante-climax plan
ned is to turn the water into Culebra
cut, the mammoth cash of steam
shovel through the miniature noun
tains in the center of the canal dis
. trict, on July /.
Establishment of civil govern
: ment in the zone, to replace the mill
tary regime incident to actual con-
. struction work by the army and navy
/. engineers, will precede the formal
and informal opening ceremonies.
Goethals, the master mind of the
canal, is the choice of President Taft
for governor Of the Zone. Goethals
has indicated that he will accept
such an appointment-to finish thu
canal if nothing more, putting thu
last touches of perfection on his ii
.tanic achievement.
What The President Found.
How near the canal is to actua
use was strikingly impressed upo1
the president and his party during
! their inspection last month. Ever!
foot Of the canal was looked over. 4
