HYRUM, UTAH PHONE 19 - - , There is no more reason why the government should grant free tolls to ships passing through the Panama canal than to grant the purchasers of land in government irrigation districts free irrigation. The farmers in question have just as much right to demand free irrigation as the ship owners have to demand free transit through the canal. It costs a large sum of money to construct the Panama canal and it costs a great deal to maintain and operate it. Every time a ship passes through the canal considerable expense is incurred in operating the locks and impounding and releasing the water. Being a lock canal it differs very materially in expense and operation l from a canal. is not iced it ae. .. e well, stion, ribly that I ot ista Nr jite ive he nd !ut ith nd as is Announcing ..

They thrill, they inspire, they excite! But you must hear them to appreciate this difference. Brunswick Records unite the talent of the artist with the genius of the composer. Brunswick Records, because of the naturalness by which they are recorded, stimulate the imagination. You can see the soloist breathe deeper, blow harder, are finger more vigorously or bow heavier. They never painted music pictures such as your thoughts before. Artists find them ideal channels for expressing their highest emotional moments.

As late 400,000 two-swor- as there 1SG8 d understood and this of itself is sufficient without granting free use or refund of tolls to any class of shipping. For example it lessened the distance by water from San Francisco to New York 7,873 miles; from San Francisco to New Orleans 8,844 miles; and from San Francisco to Li erpool, 5,687 miles. This effects a saving of upwards of three weeks in the time required by an ordinary steamer to make the trip which, computed at the average per diem cost of operation at sea of 10 cents per net regfeceijed ton,' means a large reduction in cost of operation and correspondingly increased profits to ship owners. In the light of these economies which are insuring to the benefit of the shipping industries it seems unnecessary to ask the government to carry the further expense of furnishing free service, since there could probably be no decrease in Tates or in the cost of goods to the consumer? Good business would seem to suggest that the project should be by the imposition of reasonable tolls on cargoes a'nd vessels regardless of class or character of service just as government irrigation projects are Middle West interests claim that the removal of canal tolls on American vessels would give the East Coast Ports, particularly New York, a great advantage over manufacturers and producers of raw materials in shipping goods to market on the west coast of North and South America, and to oriental markets. While the Chicago manufacturing interests would be dependent upon the higher priced rail freights, New York could ship Eastern manufactured articles at comparatively low ship carrying rates, through a free canal. The question is an important one and should be decided from a business rather than from a political standpoint as the cost of government falls on all regardless of business or occupation.

Nordhoff. in the Atlantic Monthly, in sorrowing over this says: To say that Christianity was their undoing would be absurd ; they died and are dying under the encroachments of the European eivilization of which Christianity was the forerunner. Everywhere in the South seas the story has been the same, whether told by Stevenson, or Melville, or Louis Beeke. We brought them disease; we brought them cotton clothing (almost as great a curse) ; we suppressed the sports and merriment and nnbled the old petty wars which islanders to maintain their interest in life.

It is nearly as large as the state of New York, fronts on the Atlantic for about 300 miles and its coast belt Is only about twenty miles wide. North of the coast belt the whole country is a vast forest, through which Sir Alfred Sharpe of England has recently penetrated. He has informed the Royal Geographical society of the enormous population of this, till now, unknown forest land and of the unexpected resources, including gold and other minerals, that await development there.
