I In Astoria Established! 1875 The opening of the $7,500,000 Illinois- Mississippi canal at Sterling, 111, has brought joy to the hearts of the engi neering corps of the Wsr Department The work has taken 23 years to com plete. This long delay in finishing the ditch has been due in a large measure to the apathy with which the people of the United States hitherto have re garded the question of waterway trans portation. Despite the scarcity of labor, work on the canal has progressed more rapidly within the last three or four years than ever before. Through the good offices of the Rational Rivers and Harbors Congress in stirring a powerful public sentiment in favor of undertak ings of this kind the government re doubled its efforts to hasten the comple tion of the ditch. The National Rivers and Harbors Congress is to bold fourth annual convention in Waahingtoi December 4. 5 and 0. This meeting will advance still further the sentiment in favor of the government' adoption of a literal policy for this form of in ternal improvements, and as the organi zation's membership reaches into every state and territory in the Union, the gathering will represent the interests of the entire country.

Us Washingtonians are particularly in terested in an unusual honor that seems destined to come to one of their fellow citizens whose reputation certainly world wide. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, is, if plans now under1 way in Canada succeed, to have bis monument erected in bis life time. After a great man is dead he is almost always immortalized in some imperishable way, but not often does the scientist or artist or statesman see his lineaments perpetuated in bronze or marble years before he has joined the great majority. It is, however, reported that the Bell Telephone Memorial As sociation of Canada is seeking to inter est the people in the erection of memorial at Brantford, Ontario, where Mr. Bell first settled after coming to this country from Scotland. The board of this association bas the laudable idea of recognizing such achievements as Dr. Bell's while the man of genius is still alive to appreciate the recognition. The project is to erect in the city of Brant ford on a large central site a monument of artistic design, and possibly to pur chase the Bell homestead on Tutela Heights. The sum of (35,000 already has been subscribed for this purpose. It is hoped to raise at least $50,000. The recipient of so signal aa honor baa for many years been a resident of Washing ton, from which city, though no longer connected with telephone work, he bas seen the system with which bis name is associated grow until now considerably more than 3,000,000 subscribers daily use the Bell instruments. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the Agricultural Department; created a small sensation this -week by appear ing on Pennsylvania avenue wearing a black sweater upon the bosom of which was a huge letter "F' in yellow. Some thought the initials stood for "poison," or "pure fool" It developed, however, that Mr. Wiley has just been elected an honorary member of the football team of Purdue University, During his nine years occu;tancy of the chair of chemis try at Purdue Dr. Wiley was the leader in all its athletic sports. Although be one of the busiest 'officials In the government service Dr. Wiley still finds time to teach, for he is a member of the faculty of the George Washington Uni versity, holding the chair of agricul tural chemistry.

Out from the west as the herald of the greatness of Kansas, Governor Iloch arrived in Washington this week in search of a federal job for his brother-in-law. The governor of the Sunflower state, naturally, because be is seeking federal patronage, is a vociferous Roose velt man, and declared in tones that ''- RP.r. Admiral Robert C. Hollyday, rsi- - reau of yard, and 'dock. the only candidate that Kansas has in view for 1908. Governor Hoch declared land granted by the government ia tracts larger than 1C0 acres snd at more than 2.50 per acre. Whea the land was granted to the company Congress fixed the sue of the, parcels to be soil and the price. It is alleged that these stipulations nave been violated, and the government, it is understood, is tonsid ering tho - best means of proceeding againt the company to force a return either of the land or of the proceeds of its sale. that prohibition in his state is a great success, and that prohibition laws are in complete operation in 100 counties out of 105. lie expects a bitter legal battle by the railroads against the 2 eeut fare law which went into effect in his state this month. Summed up, the burden of the governor's refrain is. "There's nothing he matter with Kansas." Wjth the change of name of Stara boul, La., the United States will have 18 postofflcea named Roosevelt. Roose- velts are to be found in Arizona, Arkan- , California, Georgia, Idaho, Ken tucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, North Da kota, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Washing ton and West Virginia. If the popular ity of Presidents, however, can be meas ured by the practice of naming new towns after them, Grover Cleveland probably is the most popular President ever in the White House since Washing ton's time, Twenty-eight postofflcea are named for bim, while 14 are named for Harrison and 13 each for McKinley, and Arthur, In addition, there are three Cleveland counties and eight Harrison counties in different states and there is one McKinley county and one Roose velt county both In Now Mexico. When it is changing the name Stamboul, La., to Roosevelt, the Postoffke Department will see to it that Skiddoo, Penn., is eliminated from the postal fiuide. Some eliminated from the postal guide. Some months ago a wag in Venango county petitioned the department to establish postofflce just off the line of a rail road and asked that it be tagged with the "23" sign. As no other name was suggested, "Skidoo" went through in the rush of business. Recently there has been a number of complaints about the name, so H will be abolished. of the Navy Depsrtment, has left for Puget Sound to inspect the site of the proposed new drydock there. It has already been decided to ask Congress for an increased appropriation for the new dock, for the reason that the bids for its construction were all in excess of the amount authorized. The dock is to be modem in every respect, and will be capable of accommodating the largest ships in the navy. H will require nearly four years to complete the work, so that the dock will not be In readiness for the reception of the Atlantio squadron on the occasion of its forthcoming visit, While he is on the Pacific Const, Rear- Admiral Hollyday will make a thorough inspection of the Mare Island navy- yard.
