UNUSED CANAL FACILITIES.

Quite properly should the state of New York be interested In increasing the use Of its barge canal on which it has al- ready expended something over $780, eeo'eoe to bring t up to the require rlents feF handling more business. It is an auxiliary to rsil transportation that should make its appeal not only to those in New York who can make use of it but to any and all shippers. who have reason Co use just such facilities.
 But while New York is concerned with the success of it's available canal it is sHiy natural that It should be anxious to have its merits set forth at this time when there is on foot the project to spend so many millions of dollars for the development of the St. Lawrence waterway when 1t does not appear that fur use is being made of a like service already established. To New York the Canadian project means a hard blow at the canal facilities which it has devei. opsd and when full advantage is not be- ing taken If them. Were 1t fact that the barge canal was unable to take care of business that was being offered it the sttnatlon would be much different.

THE COMING CONFERENCE.

The conference for the limitation of armament is bound to be of increasing importance from now on. The country is daily receiving guests who have come to participate in those deliberations at Washington There has been organized a national council of organizations hay ing something like six million members for the purpose of working for lmita- ton of armament. Just what the views Of those who represent the organization and the many individuals will be remains to be disclosed, but it. is evident that there are committed to the general pol icy of stopping the tremendous expense that is Diling up each year to outdistance the other fellow in the armament race.
 Just where the conference is going to stand on the matter of limiting the arm aments oe nations is quite as uncertain as the location of the needle in the hay stack. It is perfectly we'll understood that there is no likelihood of disarma- ment being accomplished. None of the representatives at the conference will be so bold as to urge any such policy, It is for them to consider the conditions that exist among nations, the reasons for armaments, how certain of the problems can be eliminated or greatly reduced, and as the result how the respective countries can get along under a common understanding with great reductions in armament expenditures.
 The armament race has furnished reasons for calling halt. Whatever is i done in that direction can best be done by agreement. Ir isn't understood that i the conference will have any authority to put into effect any plan, or say what must be done. Its business will be tc consider well the world situation and present to the respective nations such
 suggestions as it believes will be advisa-
 ble to carry out and which will best
 serve the peace of the future.
 II is with such view that the pro
 gramme for the conference has been lait
 out, and it is with the view to pointing
 the way to methods that will overcome the repetition of some of the denlorabIt events of the past that the conference
 delegates wia gather and undertake their most important task

'The new Mexican harbor at Rocky Point, on St. Georges bay, which, des- patches state, is to be developed very soon, will open to passenger traffic and commercial development Q rich portion of southwestern United States, as well as a part of the North American continent on the Gulf of California that is little known and explored" according to a bulletin of the National Geographic society from it's Washington, D. C.. headquarters,
 "The Bay of St. George marks the northern limit of deep water in the Gulf of California, and when it's new harbor is connected by a short spur of track with the railroad already Tn existence there will be an all-water outlet through the Panama canal to eastern United States for tn mines of Arizona. Once. just after the CivA war. the people of the Arizona mines had all their supplies brought them from California by water, the ships steaming down the California coast up the gulf and the Colorado river to Yuma, and now it seems that the old method of handling their products will come into vogue again.
 "The Gulf of California, of which we Americans hear so seldom, ranks among the largest in the world. If il were stretched out inland over our country from New York harbor. t would swallow up a broad stretch fo country from 90 to 150 miles wide back ss far as Detroit and it's busy factories. Ii was shown on the early maps of North America as the Sea of CoFtez since this bold corsair ex- plored it first. It's depth varies from 600 to 5000 feet. its coast line on both sides is irregular, and in it are many islands, Angel de la GuaTda and Tiburon being the largest. The latter island points it's rocky crest 1000 feet above the level of the sea and is inhabited by fierce and warlike tribe of Indians, the Seris, who. 1t is claimed, have cannibalistic in stincts.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
The Underseored sIKnatare
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1891

Whats your own opinion of the person who underscores his or her signature with heavy line always, CT who winds it up with flourish and lots of curlicues looping around to the south and south east.
 The science of graphgology, which is but branch of the science Of charae- ter reading. takes q very definite meaning from this procl9Wity.
 The simple underseoring of a sigma ture indicates that the writer is one of those persons who like to be praised Un- derstand this does not neces- sarily mean egotism (theugh it may mean it.) But there are lots of people in the world who do not have exaggerated ideas of their own i'm portaysce or abilities who nevertheless like to be told when they have done a good piece of work. People who under, score their signatures respond more read fly to encouragement than to criticism The latter makes them dissatisfied with themselves. They're likely to take it toe seriously. But a little admiration and praise keeps them keyed to make good your expressed opinion of them.
 But when the signature is all Ieoped and whirled about, there is certain amount of eoneeit and egotism involved Persons who sign their names this way nearly always have exaggerated ideas oi their own importance in the scheme of the world.
 But remember that the underscored or fleuFished signature is a positive, not a negative indication. The absence of it does not necessarily mean that the writer is not responsive to praise, or not ego tisitieal.
