Home wasn't built in a day. Nor la a profitable business built by a little advertising now and then. Keep at It. If I had a rertnln line of goods to ell, I would take one point and drive it hard. Next day I would take an ' other and drive that, and so on, 1 would tell all about my goods, but wouldn't do It all at once. -I wotild take a point a day say the make of my goods. I would tell how they are made and who makes them the ma terial used and the workmanship. Next day I would- tell why they are the best and should be purchased In preference to others. Then the next dsy I would give my price, slse, etc. My ads wouldn't havo to be large, but Just enough to cause attraction, o people would mad thrm.

In the digging of the Panama, canal it has always been considered that, outside of the construction of the btg lock and dam works, the chief diffi culty to be encountered Is the great cut through the backbone of the American comUnent at Culcbra. The problem was there presented of re moving a mountain and by the aid of modern steam shovels, drills and dy namite the solution Is being rapidly worked out. In fact, according to In formation which has reached the of fices of the Isthmian canal commis sion here, over one-halt oi u,u t, work has now been completed. This cut through the hills and mountains extends a distance of nine and one-half miles. At the highest point the original surface of the ground was 100 feet and a hole from 430 feet to 1000 feet wide and 180 feet deep la being dug there. This work Involved the excavation of 80, 698,248 cubic yards of earth and stone. The old French company took out 12,800,000 cubic yards between 1881 and 188; the new French com pany took out 10,000,000 cubic yards form 189S to 1904 and since the Amer icans have taken charge of the work they have excavated 18,445,426 cubic yards. This leaves only 89,652,822 cubic yards yet to be removed, less than half of the total. In view of the fact that 11,101.488 yards were taken out last year after the Americans had got their machinery In operation and their organisation perfected, the Indi cations are that, at the same rate of progress, the Culebra cut will bo com pleted In three years and a half. In the opinion of engineers that time will fix the date for the comple tion of the entire canal In other words they think that the work on the other sections will be so timid as to be finished at the moment when the excavation Is done. If they are cor rect In this the Panama canal should be open fur business In Jimuary, 1912. COUNTY COURT DOINGS Continued : 14.80 4.3! The busines portion of the city would naturally present a much cleaner appearance If waste paper re ceptacles were placed on the street corners. It would only cost a few dol larse and would not only add to the general appearance of our city, but would be a great convenience to all. Other cities make such provisions, why not La Oundu? An Observer representative visited the lots which were presented to the city several years ago fur park pur poses and could not heJp but feel a little provoked to note what a nice place could have been made out of this tract had the clly kept fnlth with the Indies, who by hard and persistent labor secured the funds to put thin property and the city accepted it with the tmderMiiadlng that It would set the tract out to trees.
