Stevens, once f'r ft short period chief engineer on tho rnnama canal, is vice-president of a railroad oripiny, he can see no merit il nc i'ipiiI The point of view fro which i.no looks at an object hus co.i l.ienible. li.f'uence over the Judg ment. ' i in Mr. Stevens took charge l the l :i;'(';np of tho ciinal, and dur ing the f:rst months of his operati.n , no man cm.'d have bee. more ent'u- over the project than he. Th in things legaii to go contrary to nl. liking, his enthusiasm disappeared nd he thiMV up the Job. r'aliV i uln allied himself with railroad Interests, awl since the canal will In gome measure affect the traf fic of certain railroads, Mr. Stevens prophesies failure of the undertaking. and says It will not come up to ex pectatlons either as a commercial or naval factor. His Is the criticism of one whose opinions are affected by rival Interests and personal hostility growing out of Individual experiences. This county has placed a deservedly high estimate, on Mr. Stevens' engi neering and executive ability. Ho was favorably prominent In railroad con struction In tho west, and gratifica tion was felt when he was given charge of tho canal work. Hut to Mr. Stevens, the vice-president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, tho perspective has changed, I and the canal enterprise Is no longer a good thing for the nation. Railroad men, as a rule, have not been warm endorsers of the canal scheme. James J. Hill, though In hasn't snld much about It lately, Is on record as opposed to It. Hut the ben efits that will result from the con struction of tho canal are widely con ceded ami the people of the I'nlted States ore satisfied that the work Is proceeding. Spokane Chronicle.
