CRAYFISH DIG GRAVES
FOR YOUNG OYSTERS
Pacific Coast Marine Animals
Smother Bivalves When Bur-
rowing on Sea Floor.

SEATTLE, Wash. CP).--One part of
the Pacific Coast is not big enough for
the marine animals that attempt to
make it their abode, and that is the
fiat beaches along the North American
shore.
The oysters and the crayfish in that
area come into conflict, with oysters
getting the worst of it and man, who
likes to eat them, the ultimate loser.
The situation is described by Miss Belle
A. Stevens of the University of Wash
ington in a paper for the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science For four years she has studied
the West Coast callianassidae, which are
better known as burrowing marine
crayfish.
These crayfish and the oysters both
live in the same narrow strips of beach
bordering the low tide line. The cray
fish digs himself a house, sometimes
yard deep, and in doing so piles up sand
and mud on the floor of the sea SO
deeply as to smother young oysters.
Furthermore he makes a double exit,
shaped like a capital letter Y, that
annoys the oyster fishermen For they
build low dykes to hold receding tides in
order to keep covering of water for
oyster culture. Frequently the crayfish
Y extends from one side of the dyke
underneath it to the other side, furnish
ing a conduit for the water to run out.
Miss Stevens says that owing to their
burrowing habits there seems to be no
adequate method of coping with the
callianaSsidae.

TWO new PAPERS
OF LINCOLN FOUND
Order for Discharge of Sol
der Signed Day of
Assassination.

Valuable historical manuscripts bear
ing on the Civil War period, including
two unpublished letters of Abraham
Lincoln, have been found by William
Selby, former D. G. banker, who is ad-
ministrator of the estate, among the
papers of Gen. j. A. j. Cresweu Of
Elkton, Md, member of Congress
from Maryland and Postmaster Cen
eral in the Grant cabinet.
The most notable of these documents
Is the order for the discharge OF
Maryland soldier, Benjamin F. Twilley:
signed by Lincoln on the morning OF
April IA, 1866, the day OF his aSsassl-
nation
Twilley had written to Gen. Creswell
asking him to exert his influence to
get him out of the Army. 1t is not
entirely clear from the letter whether
the soldier was on duty impatiently
awaiting for his discharge or whether
he was in some difficulty with the mil
itary authorities.
Request for Discharge.
Creswell wrote a request for his dis
charge on the back of this letter and
forworded it to Lincoln, who wrote:
LET it be DONE"
This is probably the historical basis,
Mr.. Selby believes, for a legend which
has been long in circulation to the ef-
feet that one of the last acts Of Lin
coins life was to order the pardon OF
military prisoner. The letter reveals
that this probably was only q routine
act in behalf of man impatient to be
out of the Army.
The second Lincoln letter. dated
March II, 1854, was addressed to Cres-
we'll It reads.
ut need not be secret that wish
success to emancipation in Maryland.
1t would aid much to end the rebellion.
Hence 1t is a matter of national conse-
quence, In which every national man
may rightfully feel deep interest.
sincerely hope that the friends Of the
measure will allow no minor considers
tons to divide and distract them"
$4,000, 600 Sale Offer.
An interesting document is an offer
from the Western Union Telegraph Co.
to CreSwell as Postmaster General to
sell all It's holdings to the Government
for $30,000,000. This was dated De-
cember /, 1870. The property was in
ventoried as follows: Fifty-two thousand
miles Of lines and 10000 miles of wire.
The net profits in the previous 10 years
were stated to have been $10,500, 900.
The correspondence includes routine
letters from Grant, James J. Blaine,
Admiral Porter and Horace Greeley. The
latter, written in Greeley's celebrated bad
handwriting, is almost undecipherable
Among the documents rescued from
the Creswell papers by Mr.. Selby is the
passenger invoice of the stage coach
tine between Baltimore and Philadelphia,
dated Saturday, June 6, 1907. On that
day the stage coach had undertaken
to deliver to H d. Grace In Phila-
delphia little girl passenger.

called premature today by Frau Koehl.
She said that, at best, the plans were

Capt. Koehl was today at Dessau,

would be home tomorrow, but they in
tended TO leave for the TyroI and en-
gage in the Winter sports there.
My husbands chief concern" ex-
planned Frau Koehl, 'is to see that the
next flight with which he has anything
to do shall not be of sporting nature,
but an actual demonstration of what
can be accomplished in transoceanic
communication by way of the air.
Therefore he will not make the
venture unless the project is fully
financed, unless the right kind of ma
chine Is available, unless exhaustive
trial flights can be undertaken, and un-
less every foreseen contingency can be
made a subject of experiments.
1T is immaterial to him whether the
flight Is made this year or next, so long

NICARAGUA CANAL
DEBATE IS LIMITED
Early Vote on Survey Pro-
poSaI Is Assured by AC-
ton of Senate.

BY the Associated Press.
Faced with the threat of continu-
Gus session last night, the Senate late
yesterday entered into an agreement
limiting debate on the Edge resolution
to authorize survey of the proposed
Nicaraguan canal. Debate will be
limited after 4 pm. tomorrow, thus as
surfing an early vote.
Senator Dill Democrat, of Washington
fought the resolution, declaring the
canal project was actually only can
other excuse for maintaining Marines in
Nicaragua" and sought to conf1ne the
survey TO proposed enlargement OF the
Panama Canal.
Dill declared that there was mo
economic need for another canal" and
that Panama Canal would not need to
be enlarged "for 80 or 40 years."
Wants Marines Withdrawn.
IT am willing" he said, ito spend
money for survey of the Panama
Canal, but object to anything that is
going to keep American boys in Nicara-
qua"
Senator Edge, Republican, of New
jersey obtained agreement to limit de-
bate only after objections from Dill and
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Of Missis-
sippl.
Explaining the purpose of the reso-
luton, Edge declared that the govern
ment of the Panama Canal Zone, in his
report, made perfectly clear that with
in 10 to 20 years, the maximum ca
pacity of the Panama Canal will have
been reached
ut will require 10 to Is years, at
least" he said, Ito build a new canal,
and construction of new lock to en-
large the capacity of the Panama Canal
would require two to three years."
Senator Burton, Republican, of Ohio
said that results of operation of the
Panama Canal have been so benef1cient
that we ought not to shrink from build
ing new canal or enlarging the present
canal"
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of Ten
neSsee declared that enlargement of the
Panama Canal would be subject to all
of the provisions of the Panama treaty,
while new one through Nicaragua
would be free from such entanglements.
Asks About S3.00O.OOO Payment.
During the debate, Senator Dill asked
what had become of the $4,000 900 paid
by the United States for a right of way
in Nicaragua.
II don't know" Edge replied, but
don't think discussion of that is proper
in connection with this resolution"
Isn't 1t fact" Dill went on, that
only one-third of the money went to
Nicaragua"
Il don't know" Edge said, explain
ing that the treaty was negotiated by
Secretary Bryan during the Wilson ad-
ministration.
1.-The fact is" Dill said. that the
Senator doesn't want to tell"
Senator Mcclellan defended Bryan,
declaring he would not have approved of
any improper transactions.

be disposed of in manner that
viii help pay to the greatest oI-
tent the canal cost, thus reducing
the burden on the land. Cheap rural
power is more necessary here than
in any other section of California.
Because of its isolation Imperial
Valley must look to it's own re-
sources, and the plan for develop
ing the present canal system, sup
plemented by reserve plant is the
first step toward the best use of
all available power. Developing the
present system would create a
foundation and enable the district
to make better use of the all-Ameri-
can canal power when available.
There will be considerable surplus
power developed on the canal and
because of this it will make little
difference if the surplus is increas-
ed by the local development The
larger the surplus for sale the
easier it can be marketed. The local
plants could also act as reserve
and auxiliary for the canal plants
should contingency arise. The local
plan is similar to that used success
fully in the Salt River Valley. All
the valley cannot be served i'm
mediately but pending completion
of the canal an organization and
market can be created.
Need for power in the construe-
tion of the canal is vital essen-
tial. With a plant at Pilot Knob
this could be supplied The district
can bid ON the canal construction
and if successful could use its owa
power from such a plant, or if uI-
successful could offer the power to
the contractor at price advln-
tageous to him and to the district.
