THE PANAMA CANAL
, ; Having ben duly crowned, it
wonld be the part Of wisdom for
P$ ter of Seryia to keep the key
to the oyolone cellar handy.
When the Panama Canal is in
Deration " the distance which a
bushel of Oregon wheat will
have to; travel in ocean going;
sliip. to!reaoh ' ' Liver pool V Eng

miles..- . . .- ' -. - , ,
By the present route around
CipVHorn we ''pBy' foi ,14,000
miles, by the canal the charge
will be for 8,000 miles:
The farmers of ' Oregon, who
ship produce to a market - in
Europe, and the . consumers ' of
European staff on' the ; Pacifip
coast,, can eee, at a glance at the
abjvb figures, the importance to
them of having tne canal fin
ished at' the earliest; 'possible,
moment. '
It takei no marshalling of fig
ures to inform the Oregon- farr
men and' conaumers of Europ
ean goods that the'shorteuing of
the route six thousand miles by
which their produce - reaches a
market, -and a corresponding
shortening of the line of travel
over ' which stuffs from Europe
must come, will be of great
nnoialJ'beneBt ' to them The
difference in the price leceived
foi the wheat crop oh an Oregon
farm, after the caual is complet
ed from that now .prooured, will

the wheat was cut.
Praotically every year

is proorastinated naeanf' to .our
people a loss equivalent, to, tje
amount paid eacn; year by "them
for state and county taxes.

rectly to the price of wheat and.

The people of this -coast hayn
a vital and tremendous interest
in the early completidn if-tSe

that in the choice of; a map, to
put in charge of that great enter

And say they wear out their clothes every day: '
Bat give them, to me, so I will have a hot dinner
At home, with the smell of the soap suds away

Till the buttons ani bosoms are lost and' worn out
By the old-fashioned washboard that stood in the tub.
