PARTIAL USE OF PANAMA CANAL MAY
 BE MISLEADING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-To head off prematu. rush of vessels to the partially repaired Panama Canal, the war department last night issued a statement warming shipping interests that no prediction could be made as to when stable channel would be re.opened. and that a resumption of routing ships by way of the canal at this time would embarrass Gov. Goethars work
 The statement declares that when conditions are such as to admit the reopening of the canal, all interests will be notlned.
 There has been several reports recently in the newspapers regarding the passage of vessels through the Panama Canal. said the statement. "A cablegram asking for information was sent the Governor at the Isthmus and a reply dated December 21, has been received from which 1t would seem that a temporary opportunity to pass small craft drawing about 10 feet or less was taken advantage of and certain vessels which have been held since the canal was closed, were allowed to pass the slides December on

Warning By Governor. If Q similar opportunity offei


 'Tf similar opportunity offers, a few additional vessels of greater draft, which have also been held since the closing of the canal probably will be passed through. but the Governor warns that conditions are very un- stable and 1t is impossible to estimate In advance what probable available channel will be at any succeeding date.
 "The governor still states that no predictions can be made of the prob able date of opening and he is ex- tremely anxious to prevent premature resumption of the routing of ships via the canal. which would be sure to embarrass the work and would re- suit in the delay of the final opening of a stable channel He also calls attention to the fact that such a pre- mature resumption would be expensive to shipping interests on account of the unavoidable delays to ships that might have to be held for an indefinite period.
 "When conditions are such as will permit an adequate prediction relative to the opening of the canal all in- terests will be promptly notified"

Union depot, about 200 passenger
trains per day and night, there never
being a minute whe none is not either
coming in or going out and If a Hust-
Ter reader could stand in one corner
and watch the thousands as they hus-
tie, hustle, jolt and jostle each other,
he would forget all about the everlasU-
ing bangs and clangs going on around
that st. Louis depot.
Most staggering of all though, is that
bridge that takes you from the State
of Illinois, over that river into the
city. 1t is 1928 feet long three stories,
the lower of which is 200 feet above
the common water level and is sup
ported by three main arches, each
standing on a solid foundation of rock
100 feet below the common level of the
soil. Go look on your Henderson
county tax books for the total valua-
ton of all property in the county, and
then remember that this one bridge
alone cost over $1,000, 900. About
everything movable on earth passes
over it, from a railroad train, almost
a mile long, to a woman leading On
poodle dog with a blue string around
its neck.
A western traveller cannot stay al
ways in st. Louis, if he gets anywhere,

COOPERATION.
week.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
During the present session the Hen
Jacksonville Graded school has gone
forward most ~agreeably. and, 1 may
add, that this forward impetus is
largely due to the hearty and active
cooperation of the schools many
friends.
Within the school an orchestra has
been organized, a new piano has been
added to the equipment, and a labora-
tory and commercial room is now be-
ing made ready for use. A large part
of the money which is necessary to
make these accomplishments possible
is, and viii be raised by special enter
tainments. The necessary apparatus
for equipping the laboratory room is
being paid for by the donations from
generous and public spirited citizens
of this community.
1t is through the big, broad, and
kindly cooperative spirit that our bask-
ct ball teams ar being coached, that
a silver cup is being given to the High
school as a prize, and that sight sing
ing is being taught. Mr.. Geo. F.
Wright a offered a silver cup to the
class in the high school which makes
during the year the highest general
average as a class. He has not only
donated his money, but Mr.. Wright
has a.s2 gwen his services to the high
school in the capacity of coach of the
girls basket ball team. Mr.. Penny, a
former Y. M, C. A. basket ball player,
a agreed to give three afternoons
each week for the purpose of training
the boys how to play basket ball. In
addition, the school is favored by hav-
ing Mrs. Michael Schenck devote two
periods a week to the teaching OF
sight singing. 1t is with vrateful ap-
probation that we receive these SER
vices so generously given.
However, the greatest cooperative
force-the one upon which the schools
future growth depends-is the Parent
Teachers association, organized the
thirteenth of November. Ills BODY is
now engaged in organizing and learn
ing facts of interest to the school com

ROOSEVELT RULED OUT.

Preliminary plans for the Re
publican National convention to
be held in Chicago at the Coliseum
June Z, were approved last Mon
day by members of the sub.com-
mittee on arrangements, OF the
National Committee, after a series
of conferences with Fred w. Up.
ham, chairman of the Local CON-
mlttee.
The subcommittee adjourned
without discussing the selection
of a temporary chairman tor the
convention although four names
were mentioned as possible can.
didates. They were Elihu Root,
of New York; Senator Borah, of
Idaho; Governor Mccall, of
Massachusetts,, and Charles Os-
borne, former Governor of Michi-
gan. 1t is believed that the selec-
ton of temporary chairman may
be deferred as a matter of politi-
cal expediency until April or May,
although the subcommittee ad-
journed to meet again in Chicago,
March Is, when the subject may
be taken up.
Republican national leaders who
attended the meeting expressed
the opinion that the convention
would be open-minded and DELHI.
crate in the matter of naming a
chairman.
They indicated that they would
favor any available co mpromise
candidate except Col. Roosevelt
and said they believed the dele
gates would be able to select a
leader who would be satisfactory
IN every element of the party.
