New ShoaI Near Colon.

Washington-There has just been
brought to Secretary Daniels attention
by the Naval photographic Office an
other of those curious cases in which
slioal water is Unexpectedly discovered
along some more or less well-traveled
water routes.
This case occurred just north of Man
zanillo Point, not far to the eastward
of Colon, in waters that have been more
or less continuously travelled since the
days of old English and Spanish ex-
petitions. and the shoal water now dis
covered there is a source of danger to
ships passing to or from Colon.
Reports from certain ships indicate
that there is ridge, probably of rock,
extending northward from Manzanillo
Point, on which there Is as little as
from forty to fifty feet of water, and
perhaps less in some spots. This occurs
where previous information has indi-
Gated, and the charts have shown, not
less than fifty fathoms of water. A
large ship. in a heavy sea. can easily
strike in from forty to fifty feet OF
water. as did the U. s. s. Memphis
when she was wrecked in the harbor
of Santo Domingo CITY,
On receipt of this latest information
the photographic Office has issued n
warning to all shipping that. In travel
ing to or from the northern entrance
to the Panama Canal-Colon-shlps
should either pass closer to the north
coast of South America, inside the
hundred fathom curve, where the route
has been better surveyed, or pass to
the northward of the parallel of 10 de-
grees north latitude. while between

who would profit by this new condi-
ton.
The farmer who labors nearly twice
as many hours per day does not seek
this change. A desire to depart from
an established principle of our fore
fathers and the teachings of our best
citizens is unwise and full of danger.
THE Grange also believes that few
expensive trunk lines should be built
and favors good gravel roads.
There is being built in this State 20
miles OF State road between two points
costing $50 per mile" says the Grange
committee report on the good roads
proposition. Now the tourists do not
care to ride back and forth over the
expensive road but wish to get back
in the woods for the camp and for
rereation," continues the report. Meth
er does the farmer wish to spend his
time riding over this short expensive
road, but would like TO use that time
in conveying produce to market over
better road if he could.
Now your committee thinks that it
would be for the best interests of the
State to cater to the summer travel to
certain extent and at the same time
improve conditions for the farmer.
Our sister state, New Hampshire.
has three lines of good road running
north and south and three across the
State, meeting roads from Maine and
Vermont. All are built of gravel ex-
cept in the southern part where they
join roads coming from Massachusetts,
we think that instead of hiltIdinf 81
such expensive roads there should be
good trunk lines running into the
State for short distances and than
| build good gravel roads over. a larger
area of the State that accommodates
the farmer. the general public and
those coming into our state and wish
! ing to come if road conditions would

twenty sacks, are placed In tanks pro-
vided with iron electrodes at both
ends: the electrolyte is q solution OF
sodium nitrate or some other FERTILE
er. Particularly with cereals-wheat.
