amounted to s3s2.000; in January, to

How long it will take to pay Off the

canal, and what
Paying Off the percentage must
Debt of Building. depreciation are
questions which can be answered only by
estimates A high official of the canal
government predicts that within fifteen
years. at the utmost, the receipts from
the canal will be paying the interest
upon the loan and amortizing the debt.
This debt is approximately $3.50, 200. 900,
bearing interest at about 8 per cent per
annum. No man can say how long 1t
will take to pay this immense loan, but
once the sinking fund is started the f1nan-
cial stability of the canal is assured.
The other unknown element is the du-
rability of the canal itself. 1t is esti-
mated that the locks will last about two
hundred years; the terminals, including
the wharves and dry docks, from fifty
to one hundred years. There Is very
little machinery that will last more than
twenty-five years. Frame living quar-
tiers are assigned life of from twelve
to twenty-five years, and concrete quar-
tiers of one hundred years.
Upon many miles Of cut and channel
it is estimated that there Is practically
no depreciation, and these permanent
features represent about s125,000,000 Of
the total investment.
Roughly averaging these rates OF wear
and tear. it is estimated that the depre-
citation of the canal will not be at the
rate of more than or per cent year.
This is admittedly a very low rate. but
it must be remembered that never before
has a great project been so thoroughly
and permanently constructed, Every
thing about it is built of steel and con-
crete and founded upon bedrock. 1t Is
to expect long life from con-
struction Of this character.

/ Friends of Frank Ferrari, for Is years
a stone worker in Barre, becoming
alarmed over his prolonged absence, have
asked the authorities to aid them in 10,

Main street and then he disappeared
Ferrari had been in Indifferent health for
some time and had not worked for near
ly two years. At times he seemed de-
spondent and those who know him inti-
mately fear he may have suffered mis-
fortune.
Mr.. Ferrari is 40 years old and among
those who are concerned over his where
abouts are those who were his boyhood
friends in Compagna, Italy. His ac-
qnaintances have been expecting that
he would communicate with them BY let
ter. This he has failed to do and no
one has been found who could say that
he was seen after leaving Fregosi's on
the afternoon of Oct. ). Farrari is un.

ried an umbrella. He is around 5 feet
and Z inches tall and has a black NOUS

He left his working clothes and other
belongings neatly arranged in a trunk

him before he left Fregois's remembers
whether he said anything about leaving

sentative, Arredondo.

Washington, Oct. l4.--Secretary Ian
| sing conferred Tuesday with Eliseo Ar
redondo, representative here of Genera
| Carranza. 1t was their first meeting
since the Pan. American diplomats de
eided that recognition should be extend
ed to the Carranza government in Mex,
leo. The secretary described the confer
ence later as a general talk ON the sit.
nation, and said no new steps had been
taken, as he still was awaiting responses
from South and Central American gov
ernments.
Recognition In all probability will be
given formally BY the United States,
however, within another week. 1t prob
ably will take the form of note which
would be presented to Mr.. Arredondo

STRONG VOTE OF CONFERENCE.
French Government Supported Almost
Unanimously.

Paris, Oct. l4.--The government, OF
which Rene Viviani il tha head, received
a decisive vote of confidence in the
chamber Of deputies last night, 32I 70
., after a long and exciting session, III
which the governments war policy, par
ticularly that relating to the Balkans,
was severely criticised by leaders rep
resenting the important committee of
foreign, military and naval affairs. Be-
tween 100 and l30 deputies abstained
from voting.
The debate was signalled at the out
set by the announcement by Premier
Viviani of the resignation Of nj. Del
casse, which had been accepted, M. Niyi-
ami assuming the portfolio Of foreign
affairs in addition to the presidency Of
the council.
The session was one of the most tnr-
bulent in recent years, the disorder be-
coming so great while the final vote was
being taken that the president left the
chamber and the lights were cxtin-
guished in order to suppress the violent
outbreak by one of the opposing mem
bers.
The chief criticism of the opposition
was directed against the governments
alleged lack Of foresight in attempting
to avert Bulgaria's understanding with
Germany, and alleged lack Of energy in
failing to arrange for an ample land
ing force at SaIoniki to Offset the Ger
man and Bulgarian move in the Balkans.
NJ. Viviani, defending the course of the
government declared it was obliged not
only to consult the parliamentary com
mittee, but to maintain the good faith
of its position with the allied govern
ments, which did not permit it to lay a
complete explanation of all the military
policies before Parliament He declared
hat NJ. Delcasse's resignation was not
lue to any discord in the ministry, as
VI. Delcasse had always assented to the
1arious steps taken.
