Opening of the Canal

1t is probable that no happening since the world began carried sich
a burden of significance IS the throwing open of the Panama canal to
commerce. 1t is almost beyond the ken of man to grasp the full import
of this undertaking or to realize the results that will follow the passage
of the first ship of commerce through this waterway. One thing is GER
tain, however, and that is that the big commercial nations of Europe
and the Japanese empire have been for some time systematically pre-
pairing to take advantage of the opening of the canal. Of course, it is
not the intention of the Tribune to indicate that the commercial and
shipping interests of the United States have been asleep in this matter
on the other hand it is well known that the contrary is true. The
elaborate preparations being made for the San Francisco and San Diego
expoItons in celebration of the opening of the canal are straws that
show how the wind blows. However, it's the early bird that has the
best chance to gather in the worm.
For some time, except for the long ocean route around the Horn,
much of the shipping has passed over the two Isthmian ralways-the
Panama and the Tehuantepec. The Panama railway, forty miles in
length, and the Tehuantepec railway, 100 miles long, carried, in 1913,
SI3o 10000 worth of merchandise, brought to their termini by vessels
from the United States to be reloaded at the opposite termini and ship
ped to other parts of the United States and to foreign countries. This
is double the amount thus transported in 1908, one year after the open
ing of the Tehuantepec line.
The value of American products carried across the isthmuses in this
crcunous intercoastal traffic was, via Panama, $3IoOoooo, and via
Tehuantepec. $0o,5ooOoo. Twothirds of this trade, according to the
latest compilations of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce,
moved westward, $237ooooo worth via Panama and $624Ooooo via
Tchuantepec, while the remainder moved eastward, 100000 across the
Panama line and SCI, 100000 worth over the more northerly trans
isthmian line. OF the westward movement, SS4oooooo worth
of merchandise was shipped from New York, 100000 worth from
New Orleans, and but $4,000 worth from Boston. The east-bound
traffic included SCI 100000 worth from San Francisco, $I82ooOOo
from Hawaii, So, 100000 worth from ports i'll the state of Washington,
81, 100000 from ports in southern California, and about 100000 worth
from the state of Oregon.
San Francisco utilized the isthmian railways in shipping $I40Oo-
900 worth of merchandise to New York, S. ,72oooo to Massachusetts.
$4,000 to Philadelphia, and $4,83oooo worth to foreign countries,
chiefly Germany. France, the Netherlands, England and Belgium.
Hawaiis isthmian traffic all passed over the Tehuantepec line and in
cluded SI7o65ooo worth consigned for orders to Delaware breakwater
and $4,000 worth to foreign countries. With the opening of the Pan
anna canal it is plain to be seen that these figures will increase by leaps
and bounds.

1t is the plan of Mr.. West to make
frequent trips this coming year into
the desert and give his personal at

mind. Beautifying the desert sub

D. A. Chappell and at considerable

THREE-YEAR LEASE ON
KEYSTONE PROPERTY

F. J.. Cafferata. H. w. Huskey and
Jack Segale yesterday took a lease
for three years on the estate of the
Keystone Mining company at Cling
house. consisting of eight claims. The
leasers also have acquired a bond on
a mill in the camp . They have pros
pected the property, which was a big
producer several years ago, and they
expect to begin the extraction and re-
duction OF ore without delay.
Mr.. Cafferata reports that a large
acreage of placer ground has been
AIKEN up in the district recently and
that preparations are being made to
wash the ore, the supply of water be-
ing heavier this season than for many
years previous.
There are a number of actively de-
veloping companies in Olinghouse
n there is promise that the three
mills will be kept busy all season.

President Vail Unafraid

The Tribune is in receipt of a copy of the annual report OF the
Western Union Telegraph company for the fiscal year ended December
RI, 1919. The annual meeting of the stockholders was held III New
York City on April 8. The financial statement of the company may be
summarized briefly. The total earnings for the last fiscal year were
S45,7S35I2.5S the operating expenses, including rent OF leased hheS'
reconstruction, repairs, taxes, etc. amounted to $42327 IoI.27 When
the income from loans and Investments, etc, was added and the interest
on bonds was deducted the balance transferred to the surplus account was
$32349Iz7.
For some time the ownership of the Bell Telephone company by
the Western Union Telegraph company has been a subject of govern
mental inquiry, and the latter company has also faced the possibility OF
future government ownership of its lines. This fact Sc impressed Mr..
Theodore n. Vail, president of the Western Union, and also president
of the American Telephone and Telegraph company (Ben), that he de-
votes some space to the subject in his annual report as president OF the
Western Union. Many Inquiries he says, have been made a to the
prospects of the company, either under any possible purchase by II ON
petition of the government, II as a going concern operating nde-
pendently of the American Telephone and Telegraph company. he re-
lations between the American Telephone and Telegraph company and
vour company have always remained the same a. between two entirely
independent companies. The organizations of the two companies were
entirely distinct and independent and, with the exception of the presi-
den and a minority of the directors, had no officers i'll common. All
contracts and operating arrangements were such as two independent
companies could enter into under the interpretations OF the existing
laws and the commercial interests of each company were carefully
guarded, so that the so-aned divorce of the two companies is being &C
compIshed with very little confusion.
"As to the government purchase II operation OF the telesraphs
The property of the company cannot be taken without just compensa-
ton: that is. a full and proper equivalent for the property taken must

shares.
The other alternative which has been advanced, to take over the

only OF so questionable a character S to be repudiated when its iull
