OPEN PANAMA CANAL | 10 W0RlBSSH|PP|NC
1' 7s77 .kl-7.7s ef7 F=eHK-s -7.- Steamer Aneon, First Big Boat to Sail Through New Waterway.

Panama, Aug. 15.-The canal zone celebrated today the hesopening of the canal. The festivities. however, were but local and suggested little of the in- 'ternational significance of the event. With the. official Panama celebration set for next spring, even the United States was not officially represented today except by the men who have long been in the canal zone. The Steamship Ancon, owned by the United States war department and I1eased to the Panama railroad for ser vice in the New York-Colon trade was chosen as the first big boat to be put through, signalizing the opening of the canal to all ships up to 0,000 tons register.
 Drawn From Berth.
 Shortly before o'clock this morn ing the Ancon was drawn away from her berth at Cristobal and anchored s.t the end of the deep water channel from the Atlantic ocean to the Gatun Locks. The program called for put ting her through the locks at 9 o'clock, her passage of the Culebra cut at about noon, and arrival at the end of the deep water channel in the Pacific at o'clock this evening.
 All the SeVenLy-lOur regular OI1lCeTS and men aboard the Ancon appeared in spotlessly white uniforms and the *ship itself glistened with new paint over which fluttered signal flags and tRe ensigns of all nations. At the fore peak was the ensign of the Panama republic, while at the main masthead fiuttered the house pennant Of the Panama steamship fleet. On tue jackstaff was the flag of the United States.
 Invitations Much Coveted. Invitations to be guests on this first trip had been much coveted, and the Irails were lined with local canal officials and those of the Panama re- public, together with their ladies, as Ithe big steamer backed away from her berth. Colonel Goethals, builder 5uf the canal and governor of the zone, was on the bridge beside Captain Sukeforth of the steamer, together with Captain Rodman, U. s. N., super intendent of transportation, who has overseen the plans for putting the first ship through.
 President Porras Aboard.
 Other distinguished persons in cluded President Porras, of the repub- lie of Panama, and his staff.
 The Panama national band, and the regimental band of the Tenth. United States infantry played the Star span- gled Banner as the ship pulled away, but the music was almost drowned by t.le whistles of the steamers in the harbor.

PRICES HAVE GONE UP.

Prices on jewellers tools have gone up from 25 to 30 per cent as result of the war. Most of the fine saws, files and other tools that the jewellers use are made in Switzerland, and the exportation of goods from that coun- try has stopped completely. It is probable that the prices of the tools will soon be much higher still

who makes these statements in
secret will do so in an open, manly
manner, they are prepared to show

it should rest.

September s, arrived this week, and
have been unloaded from the cars at
the highway crossing on the Fiem-
ington branch.
1t it is expected that the erection
will begin at once and be pushed to
early completion, now that practical
ly all the material is upon the
ground.
y The loss of trade to Lambertville
merchants, due to the absence of
this bridge (necessitating the use OF
a rather unsatisfactory temporary
roadway and bridge) has probably
been enough to pay for fair sized
structure, so it is to be hoped that
the contractors will not delay the
work any more than the weather it
self hinders.

confsssss BEING EIrshua.

Estherville, Nov. Ivan Elliot, g
16 year old school boy has confessed
that he had set more than twenty
buildings in the city on fire within
the past few weeks. The last fire he
began was one which destroyed the
barn belonging to his father, w. r.
Elliott, wealthy retired farmer.
In his confession Elliott admitted
being responsible for the almost total
destruction of eleven barns, the the
partial destruction of eight others
and the fire which seriously damaged
the beautiful new Methodist church
here recently. -..'.
After one of the tres the boy re
ported to the police and to Fire Mar

their movements. Private detectives
were stationed within twenty feet OF
some of the buildings while he set
them on fire, 1t is claimed.
His only motive for the actions, he
said, was that he liked to mix with
the crowds that gathered at the fires
and to enjoy watching the fremen
