THREE MEN GET CRtDlT
FOR THE PANAMA CANAL
Count de lesseps Honors Father,
Bunau- varlla and Cocktails.

Paris. July 11.-Count Charles de
Iesseps, the son of Ferdinand de Les
seps, who began the work of building
the Panama canal. I'm 1881, issued the
following statement in "a Paris morn
ing paper: ...
I'm view the approaching Inaugural :
ton of the Panama canal with feel
ing Of genuine sorrow. and what / say
ought not to wound the Americans
who have worked wonders. The French
could have finished the work; there
were no obstacles which they could
not have overcome and nothing to
Justify the catastrophe which over
whelmed us.
Three men made the canal, and
merit universal gratitude-my father,
Engineer Phillip Bunau-V arilla ana
Col Cocktails"
Count de Lesseps tells OF the ter
rble ordeal through which he passed.
He went to the prison and found his
father dying, broken and distressed by
the thought that the family honor had
been tranished he was then able to
tell him I'm spite of appearances his
honor was saved though all was lost
but that.

CEMENT ROADS
NOT EXPENSIVE
Macadam May Be Thing of the
Past in Near Future

The success which IL being attained
i'm the paving of Hecla stree. and
Lake Linden avenue with Cement.
may lead to an interesting departure
in road building I'm the future. Lau-
rum officials as well as those i'm other
towns of the copper country, are
watching the experiments made local
ly with considerable interest ana il
is entirely possible that macadam as
a road building material will be "a
thing of the past i'm Laurium in the
near future.
1t is claimed the cost of laying the
cement pavement on Hecla street and
Lake Linden avenue barely exceeds
the cost of building new macadam
road. Practically the only difference
Is the fact that the cement dressing
and the cement used i'm the concrete
is slightly more expensive than the
tar binder used i'm a macadam road
and the tar used as surface dress
ing. To offset this slightly increased
cost the rolling OF "A macadam road is
mum blpit tNpNiiSiNt IMAM TIE SllEHl
otlay for the rough finishing of the
cement surface of the new paving.
Street Commissioner wills is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of using ce-
ent more extensively hereafter. When
the crown of a macadam road wears
down, which always is before the
sides of the road become rough, due
to the heavier traffic i'm the center of
the road, Mr.. Wills plans i'm the flu
ture to remove sufficient OF the crush
ed rock from the center OF the road,
to enable the paying of forms for
concrete. To build a new crown of
concrete, Mr.. Wills believes would
cost no more than to rebuild the road
with macadam, and by allowing am
pie expansion joints of tar, the road
would give much greater service than
an ordinary macadam highway. If
the pavement now being laid proves
satisfactory. there is little question
the new plan will be tried the first
time repairs are necessary on any of
the present macadam roads.

Laurium Department
HAS NEW EXPLANATION.
Late Autumn is Blamed For Poor Crop
of Strawberries.


An entirely new explanation OF the
partial failure Of this years copper
country strawberry crop. the first
failure i'm about a dozen years, is ad-
vanced by a Laurium man who has
had considerable experience in straw
berry culture i'm the past. While he be-
lieyes the drought during part of the
growing season and a heavy frost
late I'm the year were partly respon-
sible for the shortage, he attributes
the greater part Of the blame to the
late autumn, and the fact that the
plants were exposed 10 heavy frosts
and lay uncovered i'm frozen ground
until almost Christmas. The action
OF the frost caused the loosening Of
the roots, he believes. and caused
the plants to get a very poor start this
year.
The harvesting Of the crop is now
nearing completion. II is said the en-
tire harvest in the Trap Rock valley
district will be about thirty three per
cent Of normal

Che does not hold that office now by
virtue of conviction which makes the
office vacanD languishes in the state
penitentiary with a sentence of from
five to ten years at hard labor hang
ing heavy on him, his former deputy,
Fred NJ Coleman. is busily engaged
here in framing up defense to the
charge of embezzlement of $4,000 of
state funds which was lodged against
him by Governor Haines. Coleman ar
rived here yesterday from Portland
and his appearance occasioned no sur
prise. kilograms had been received
from him in the morning by his attor

Haines Resume Campaign

Governor Haines has not yet made
an appointment to fill the vacancy in
the treasurership but he will likely
do so before. he leaves for the north
Saturday to resume his campaign.
The National Surety company which
wrote bond for Allen for 100000
and for Coleman for $4,000 wired its
local representative that the shortage
would be paid promptly and in full
as soon as the amount of the compa
nys liability is shown from examina-
tion of the books. From the present
showing the shortage will amount 10
$92,368 and assurance is given oy
the bonding company that the state
will not lose a cent 1t is pointed out
that usually such cases as that of AL
len cost the state large sums for
prosecution, while the entire cost in
this case to the state is less than
$40. The experts employed in Aliens
office received nothing for their work,
being employed by the state in other
capacities and drawing no extra sal
ary for their labors in the treasur-r's
office.

DR.. NJ. A. BrannOn Returns Home
From Most Valuable Trip to the
Southern Part of the State

The agricultural extension work as
carried on throughout various points
in south and southeastern Idaho is in
splendid shape and under the direc-
ton of o. D. Center, the new head, that
department is expected to show rapid
advancement and development Such
was the report brought home by DR..
M. A. Brannon, president of the uni
versity, who spent 10 days in the south
ern part of the state, confering with
Mr.. Center and also visiting the var
ious experimental farms of the state
with a view of familiarizing himself
with the work of those stations. While
absent DR.. Brannon attended teach
ers joint institutes at Idaho Falls and
Pocatello where he delivered ad-
dresses. The attendance at Idaho
Falls was about 500. In each of the
institute, seven counties were repre-
sented.
"One feature of my trip to that
section" said Dr.. Brannon, was that
it enabled me to cover a wide range
of territory in a short time and to
my work during the entire
time of my absence from here" In
to attending the institutes he
visited the experimental farms at
Caldwell, Gooding, and Aberdeen, be-
ing accompanied by Prof. o. D. Center.
While absent DR.. Brannon also had an
of inspecting the indus
trial school at st. Anthony and spoke
in high terms of the work accomplish

DESPERATE WORK OF GERMANS

PARIS, Oct 23-The Germans are
trying desperately to break through
the Allies line in the vicinity of Ar
ras as well as in the extreme north.
The outcome of the fighting in the Ar
ras region is yet uncertain. Owing to
the fiatness of the country and lack of
cover, the losses on both sides will be
enormous. The Germans are taking
advantage of the network of trolley
lines through Belgium and northern
France to rush reinforcements, am
munition and supplies to critical
points Reports from Ostend are con-
ficting. One account was that the
naval forces were bonn
harding the city On another authority
this was denied.

er made it $4,000.
Obtaining bond form, Mr.. Fraser
went out and within a few minutes
returned with the complete bond
bearing the signatures of H. N. Coffin
former state treasurer, and B. f.
Olden. Mr.. Barnes thereupon made
a motion that the bond be raised to
$4,000. In support of this motion he
declared that the prosecutor had OBJ
tanned evidence to show that Coleman
treasurers office at the time the al
legged defalcations were made.
Statement BY Coleman
Mr. Fraser called attention to the
fact that his client had returned tn
Idaho of his own free will. He said
the purpose of the bond was to guar
antee his appearance at the prelimin-
as to deprive him of his liberty. The
court overruled the motion. After
with his attorney Cole
man gave out the following statement
for publication:
81 came here of my own volition
from Portland as soon as | learned Of
this matter. Any statement to lie
effect that | at any time attempt ad to
conceal myself of dodge this investi
CATION is absolutely wrong. ! am here
to face this charge and anticipate no
difficulty whatever in clearing up my
with the matter"
There was protest against Cole
mans appointment, both in and out
of administrative sources, but Alien
insisted on making it. Governor
Haines is understood to have lodged
a vigorous protest, but the right OF
Allen as an elective officer to name
his own office force could not be dis
turbed.
The investigation into the affairs OF
he treasurer's office continues II
las been disclosed that Aliens .'u
ations ran back into his first admin
stration.
