A DEBT TO COLOMBIA A Perplexing Problem Confronting the United States, Growing Out of Acquiremeut of the Canal Zone By Willis J. Abbot, Author of "Panam a and the Canal in Picture and Prose.'" Out of the mysterious recess of the department of sta'fj in Washington there comes an occasional word about a debt owing by the United States 'to the Republic of Colombia. The dip'o mats are never prone to b exceeding ly explicit in what they tell about their business, and the dispatches es outui, from Washington are" apt to be written as if the country as a whols know- exactly what was the, matter wU.tr CcioQibia, and why it owned her a sum, commonly put at $10,000,000; and just why an offer is not mode to pay it; and the Colombians refuse to consider taking it. Ten years is a long period in the public memory, and it is probably safe to believe that many have forgotten the things that happened on the isth mus of Panama in 1903, and which Colombia has not forgiven. The French had a partially dug cana'. down ttuere, and a railroad across the Isth mus. They wanted to sell both to the United States for $40,000,000, but the franchise for their canal was not salable. All they could offer was the disused machinery, th.e abandoned dig gings and tlie railroad. To make these of any particular value a treaty with Colombia was necessary. One was negotiated, offering $10,000,000 for the franchis.3, and a. rental of $250, 000 annually for the canal zone. But the treaty failed of ratification in the Colombia senate. In Washington was President Theo dore Roosevelt, keenly desirous that work on the canal should be begun un der his administration. In Washing ton, too, were representatives of the French owners, very desirous of mak ing that $40,000,000. In Panama City and Colon, were divers gentlemen eager to see canal building begun once more, bringing flush times to the Isthmus. Panama was a province of Colombia. What was easier than a revolution? It's people had revolted time and again, but the revolts were always put down by Colombia, which sent troops by sea into the rebellious communication by land. There were Panama secret agents in Washington. Thjere, too, were skill ed diplomats in the pay of the French company. President Rooseveii was just eager to dig that canal. Rumors of revolution were heard in Panama. The Colombian envoy at Washington telegraphed warnings to Bogo.'a. The Colombia authorities, doubting the loyalty of the garrison at Panama City telegraphed the commanders of two gunboats in Panama Bay to come home and g.et fresh troops.. The gun boats were out of coal. There was plenty of coal at Colon, at the Atlan tic end of the Panama railroad, but the road not so very busytould not find cars to carry it over for the gun boat's use. You see the French own ers of the road wanted to sell to the United States. So the preparations for the revolution "continued. Alarmed Colombia sent 400 men down by the Atlantic route and landed them a.. Colon. President Roosevelt had: tele! graphed the captain of the Nashville to "prevent the landing of any armed force, either government or insur gent." At the time the order was is sued there-as no insurrection, but Washington was only a trifle prema ture. But what right the president had to prohibit Colombia from landing her own troops on her own coast is a question. Still they were landed, as the order were received too late. The revolutionary, headquarters were at Panama, forty-seven miles away. The railroad refused to carry the troops except for cash despite the invariable responsible officers. The Colombian custom of aeepting the warrants of officers probably threatened force. The United States navy immediately backed up the rail road, and the Colombians gave up. The revolution was successful without a shot having been fired. The United States effectually closed both the sea and the Isthmus to the Colombian authorities. Within ten days the Re pubi c of Panama had negotiated with the United States the treaty by virtue of which the canal has been dug. The revolting province got $10,000,000 cash and is to get $250,000 a year in perpet uity. Colombia got nothing. But there has beon an uneasy feel ing in the United States ever since. Somehow, it stands in the light of re ceivers of stolen goods. More than that, it aided in the steal. So there have been efforts by tie state depart ment to find out what Colombia will accept as an indemnity. We are vir tually admitting our guilt, but are a little bothered abou; the size of the conscience fund. Ten millions are suggested, but Colombia holds aloof. She lost that, her richest province, tta railroad, the franchise of which was about to revert to ths state, and a rental in perpetuity of $250,000 a year. She doesn't think $10,000,000 a suffi cient indemnity. Who would? A sleeper Is one who sleeps.' " A sleeper is that in which a sleeper sleeps.

This would supply the population of the city for the next 20 years, it is estimated, the water troubles would be a thing of tha past and a bugbear that would remain a matter of history. Portland's Demands Heavy. The added demands of Portland as the business men understand tham and the possibilities that the Rose City may need that water herself in the next few years has aroused the committee into action and has shown them the useless waste of money in the construction of a line that will be of no benefit aftar a short time. It is contended that such an expenditure is a waste of money that no corpor ation would . entail with tha chances as much against it as are those against the" city. According to the estimates, it will take Portland about 10 years to use all of the supply that it now has. With the rapid growth of that city, the de mands upon its water will increase. In a short time, the entire supply that it has will be in us3 and Oregon City will be cut off, it is contended. To prevent this, the business man want their own water supply. They figure that the new sourca will give them all of the water that thay want at a cost that will be less than Port land will charge. They wi'l then have the assurance that nobody can tak,3 it away from them or cut it off at their pleasure. Need Meters. Another objection is that water me ters will have to be installed on the mains and in every house in the city to measure the supply. It is estimat ed that the cost will be enormous in proportion to 'the servica and that the city can serve itself batter by running its own line, use Jt own water and sell rather than buy its supply.

Hair that loses Its color and luster, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur In the hair, says a well-known local pharma cist. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sago Tea and Sul phur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and even today this simple preparation has no equal. Millions- of women and men, too, who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which Is bo attractive, use only Sage Tea and Sulphur. Nowadays we are not bothered with the task of gathering the sage leaves and the mussy mixing at home. Simply ask at any drug store for a 60-ent bottle of the ready to use preparation, called "Wyeth'g Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." Customers like this best because it darkens so naturally; so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell It has been ap plied. Besides, It contains Ingre dients which take off dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. No, it isn't a dye or even like it. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur" and draw It through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair dis appears; after another applica tion or two it Is restored to Its natural color. What delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that besides beautifully darkening the hair they say it brings back 'the gloss and luster and gives it an appearance pf abundance.
