The Future OF Culebrs.

Ex-senator KEARNs OF Utah IL a
psrson Of strong common and
much practical experience. As a min.
Ing operator he has encountered In
his M State and in Nevada prob
lens Of terrestrial movement which
seemed to him similar in kind though
not in extent to those which have
- disastrously affected i~nteroceanic
Communication through the Isthmus
Of Panama.
Recently. accompanied by an ex.
pert engineer in his OWL employ, Sen.
ator kEARNs made on the invitation
q q high Government official m indie
pendent examination Of conditions ut
and neal the Culebra or Gaillard cut.
This Is the point Of structure In the
Panama Canal where the gravity
s1ides and the far more important
subaQueous upheavals caused by mys-
terious forces working in underlying
strata have 30 repeatedly and per.
sistently choked the prism that tran.
ut has been blocked during nearly
two-thirds Of the time since the canal
was opened to navigation.
This was Senator KEARNs's second
visit to the scene Of the slides, and
he enjoyed every facility which the
friendly assistance and cooperation Of
General GoETHALs's people could at
ford him. His conclusions are set
forth in n statement which appears
on another pngc of THE SrN to-day.
They are radically different In essen
tinl particulars from the general the
DRY on which the Government en-
gfneers are now ~endeavoring to dis
pose of the problem of Culebra, the
Snake. They 20 deeper into the causes
Of the trouble, nearer to it's crux.
than anything contained in the latest
Official survey of the situation, the
able Mcdonald report.
At any rate, the originality Of Mr..
KEARNs's views and the clearness and
interest Of their exposition commend
them to the attention alike of profess
sional engineers and Of laymen. The
importance OF the question cannot be
exaggerated; for the failure to con-
quer Culebra means nothing less than
the abandonment Of the present route
and a new canal enterprise.
The Sun has good reason to believe
tAat the man who gave his life to

mission by Idaho shippers of the gen

stedt Of the commission has announced
that from the facts brought out at the
recent hearing of the officials of the
Union Pacific system, including Presi-
dent Robert S. Lovett, the commission
is convinced that there is such a gem
eral car shortage all over the United
States that it is simply impossible for
the Oregon Short Line railway to sup
ply sufficient number of cars to meet
the requirements in Idaho.
Farmers in all parts of the state
are clamoring for cars to move the
hay, grain, and potato crops, while in
northern Idaho lumber shipments are
being seriously curtailed because of
lack of cars. The situation in this
state is somewhat relieved by the fail
ure of the fruit crop, but with steadily
increasing prices on other products

MANY FINE HOMES
GO UP IN BUHL
West End Town Has Grown
Greatly Within the Past Few
Months.

Bull is going through one of the
most active residence building booms
in the history of the city, and it is
said that more farm homes of the
modern type are being built than at
any other period in the country's de-
velOpment, says the Bull Herald. The
prove-up shack is being replaced by
up-to-the-minute modern rural resi-
dences. AS one of the lumber dealers
expressed it, they are all good ones,
but Carl Miller will have when com
pleted, the best, most medorn, and
most expensive home in this part of
the tract, either city or country"
Thirty modern residences are either
just ready to be moved into, or are
now being built, in this city. Four of
them were begun this week, and prac-
tically all of the thirty were rented
before the first spade was stuck into
the ground for building. They have
either been leased, or the builder in
tends to move into the new home
when completed. Many citizens who
came to Bull were forced to build in
order to bring their families after
them Some of them are still trying
to find place to live. and the rest of
their families can not come because no
house can be found.
We published an article in the edi-
tOrial column of the Herald of the
issue of August "a, in which we said
that fully forty more modern homes
could be rented in this city, were they
to be had. Twenty-Five of these homes
have been started since then, and
there is still big demand for houses
