Uncle Toms Cabin.

The old, reliable Terry's Uncle
Toms Cabin company gave splendid
entertainment under canvas at Kel-
logg, Monday evening and, notwith-
standing the fact that Terry has been
entertaining large audiences at KEEL
logg about every other year for the
past twenty-four years, the crowd
that visited the tent Monday evening
eclipsed all former gatherings. The
Terry company, while preserving all
the best features of the old drama,
introduced many new and up-to-date
specialties that pleased the people.
Terry's cornet band has few if any
superiors as a musical organization.
Terry merits the success he has
achieved, and his show is always a

ing fully ten feet more. The aver
age size of the vessels that passed
through, Suez in 1911 were more than
four times the average in 1870. The
promoters of the Panama route were
enabled to profit by this knowledge
and to prepare for future contin-
gencies.
Going east by Suez we must cross
the Atlantic which is always rough
and usually cold and disagreeable.
Then comes the picturesque Medi-
terranean, a delightful trip. Then
comes Suez, the Red Sea and the
Indian Ocean. The latter part of the
trip is hot, sticky and wearisome.
SMOOTH WATERS ALL THE WAY.
Via Panama passengers strike
into warm weather in two days and
from that time on they travel in
tropic or temperate latitudes all the
way. The vessel will leave rough
waters as soon as they have passed
Hatteras and the entire balance of
the voyage will be through waters
that are proverbially calm and peace
full. The trip through the Panama
canal is much more picturesque than
through Suez; the route up the Cali
fornia coast will easily Offset the
Mediterranean cruise, and the visit
to Honululu on the way will be a
delightful stopping place where
travellers may stretch themselves be-
fore resuming the last leg of the
journey. In either route the Oriental
terminal will be the same, that is
whether you go east or west you will
touch at Singapore and probably at
Hong Kong and Yokahoma.
Time and competition will fix the
merits of the two routes. Develop
ment of the countries effected will
change conditions materially. 1t is
impossible to forsee the full effect OF
the canal on the races of people who
will be benefited. Fancy might sug-

l have said that to me figures
mean very little. | believe that is
true of the average man. When |
say that the total cost of the canal is
computed at three hundred and
seventy-five million dollars, it really
means very little to me because l
never will be called upon to count
that much. But an article is not
complete without figures and so / am
going to put down some figures here
which will answer in brief way the
many questions that will come up
during the next year.
FACTS AND FIGURES
Total cost of canal, 1915, 900, 900.
This is of course estimated, and
includes coast defenses and every
contingency which may yet arise.
Length of the canal, including
channel leading into either ocean,
81 J miles.
Width of canal &C bottom, 800 to
500 feet.
Depth, 45 feet.
Elevation IS feet.
Length Of locks, 1000 feet.
Width, ITO feet.
Length of largest ship in the
world, (now being laid) $50 feet.
During the coming summer we are
to hear a lot about the tolls question
and it is we'll to put down here the
authorized tolls which are, for freight
per ton, $1.25, passengers. $1.5O.
These are figures which every
stakeholder should remember and we
are all stockholders.
Then comes another set of figures
which should be remembered, namely
the question of distance saved and
effect on travel and commerce both
east and west.

Army of 10000 Secure Licenses to
Pursue and XIII Deer and Small
Game in the Woods of
Wisconsin. gi

Madison, Nov. 1S.-Wisconsin's army
of 10000 hunters, licensed to kill tim
orous deer and other game, is now in
the field with full equipment, with
nonresident force of more than 1000
as q reserve. The deer season Is
opened and a large portion Of the
army is in the northern section of the
state, where the animals abound. Not
all of the 100000, however, are deer
hunters. The mathematics of the 1914
hunting license business done by Game
Warden Sholt to date is as follows;
For residents, 10000 at 81, $4,000;
for non-residents, deer, 1853 at $25,
s9,075; SOB at $40, $3.50; total, 1885,
625. The game warden department re-
ports that deer are plentiful in the
north woods as in former years. There
are still many black bear In Wiscon-
sin, too, but they are disappearing
more rapidly than are the deer.
