THE EVIL OF THE DAY.

Writing in Golfers on the state of
trade, Isaac F. Marcosson says that
concensus Of opinion among leading
business men over the whole county
is that what the United States needs
is rest from the program Of incess-
ant legislation which has now been
going forward unremittingly for nearly
two years.
The fiscal system Of the country Is
reorganized through the passage of a
tariff law. The monetary system dis
organized by the establishment Of a
new set Of rules for the banking inter-
ests Of the country. On top Of this
comes mass Of antitrust bills, the
result of the passage Of which no man
can foretell.
The stomach Of the body polite Is
unable to digest this huge mass Of
legislation without at least a rest be-
tween doses. But there has been no
rest. nor does 1t seem to be the presi-
dents idea that there shall be any,
This is the gist of the views gather
ed over the length and breadth of the
country. 1t is interesting in spite Of
the fact that 1t does not tell anyone
anything that they did no already
know.

which would add to the comfort and
happiness of the men and women, as
well as the children at the mines, The
unloading and the distribution of these
was proof enough Of the benefit of
parcel post to the people of the isol-
ated mining districts. These people,
like the ranchers and the mountain
GERS, deserve such benefit. 1t has
made great change in the mail bust
ness, Of course, and in several in
stances has resulted in the financial
failure of those who undertook mail
contracts without considering the de-
velopment and growth of the new sys-
tenn.
Where the mail was carried in for
mer years on the back of a single pack
pony or mule, from to ~ horses are
now required. Light buckboards have
been replaced by heavy stages and
hacks. And in some districts 6-mule
freight wagons are now required to
move the great loads of mail from the
railroad to the mining camps. Some
of the mining district stores get in
their supplies in this manner. Gro
ceries, meats, clothing. and even
great amount of hardware for store
stocks, are now ordered delivered by
parcel post, as the government deliv-
cry rate is below the old-time freight
wagon rates.

First crossing Of the isthmus: BY
Balboa, who, on September, %, 1913,
much to his surprise found himself
gazing upon the Pacific ocean after
% days journey on boot.
First ships to cross the isthmus. In
1914 Balboa and his men carried two
small ships, piecemeal across the
isthmus. intending to use them for
further exploration in the Pacific.
First settlement Of old Panama in
1917, to become known later for a
time as the richest city in the world.
First regular traffic across isthmus
The spells Of conquest sent back to
Spain from Peru, which became so
heavy that highways paved with stone
were laid for the pack trains.
First thought Of canal Credited
to Savadera, a Spanish engineer, one
of Balboa's followerers, who was about
ITO forward his plans to King Charles
V. Of Spain when the latter died
First surveys for canal: In 1881 by
Spanish engineers, who deemed the
project impossible Of accomplishment.
First official decision of canal pro-
ject: BY King Philip H.. in 1920, ad-
versely after referring the matter to
the Dominican friars. The latter, de-
string to obey the kings orders. but
unable to report intellgently. suggest
ed that the project was sacreligious
They quoted from the Bible: what
God hath joined together. let no man
put asunder." Accordingly the pro-
iect was put on the shelf for three
centuries
First British interest in latter part
of 18th century, when the expedition
launched by William Paterson foun-
der of the Bank of England, attempted
to found community on the isthmus
of Darien, south of the present PAN
anna, with the ultimate intention of
establishing trans sthmian route
The plan proved an utter failure.
Many other Births surveys followed
in later years.
The German poet Goethe, a hundred
years ago, made this remarkable
prophecy: 1T is absolutely indispen-
sable that the United States effect
passage from the Mexican gulf to the
Pacific ocean, and l am certain they
will do It,"
First decision to build: In 1914, just
100 years ago, the Spanish government
by decree entered upon the construc-
ton of an isthmian canal, but the idea
was blocked because the Central Am
erican colonies succeeded in throwing
off the Spanish yoke:
First French interests came in 1926,
when President Boliver of the repub-
lie of New Granada gave a franchise
for canal at Panama to a French
man. Baron Thierry, who failed to
raise the required capital.
! First action by the United States
In 1885, as the result Of a resolution
introduced in the senate by Henry
Clay Charles Biddle was sent by
President Jackson to visit the isthmus

an opportunity to get packages Of

1t also works benefit to the mine
management in that we can get parts
for repairs much more quickly than
we could before. In other days we
had to have such things expressed.
and that brought them only within 40
miles of us. So 1t was necessary to
have a special team at the depot, all
of which took more time and money.
Best of all, parcel post makes 1t more

While the boss told me this, the I'M

it necessary to employ helper; and
