The . energetic March anta' association la considering a scheme to' save the city $6,000,000 an nually by using the -water power of the Croton aqueduct for lighting and beating purposes. The plan la to Install several larsre turbine wheels to generate power. and the idea la to combat the gaa and electrical 'monopoly by furnishing the city this Wir at the rate of $20 an nually for each horsepower. While t the main power plant, according to the Plan proposed,- la to be located at croton, there art to be turbine wheels outside of tbe water reservoir east and west otMM Hudson -river and on Long' Is land. ' These turbines, it is claimed. rH develop power enough to generate electricity to lignt uie streets ana- p buildings, to supply . all motor power needed by the city and to leave a sur plus power from which the city can gain a. substantial revenue. According to the plan, which office Of -the Merchants' association say nevWrt-faefar haa been brought forward, the reservoir water is to pass' through the-turbine wneeia. placed In air-tight bulkheads, which will noMessen the water pressure In the city, nor Injure the water. for domestio use. . eismtha M-Osaata.

"People in this part of the state prob ably believe that the past winter 'haa been disastrous to the stockmen in eastern Oregon and.

Whenever hay is plentiful livestock there Is carried safely through the severest winters. The. haystack la the stockman's Insurance policy., and the flock owners had -laid In such a liberal store of that, variety of food that tbey were able to get through the hard months ; without appreciable losses. Some losses always occur in the winter. But tbey have been at a minimum thla year, and the situation otherwise Is such aa te assure good times tfc Vhoee engaged in that industry. - Prices . are medium. This Induces owners to sell and. buyers to buy,' and causes a liberal movement of livestock. Wool-raisers win be cirri ed on a high tide of prosperity this year.

I think that yellow fever was established in Panama, when Panama.. waa n rat made w city, and that was centuries ago. and everybody haa read and knows thatthe harbors of Panama have had yellow fe ver always. If you will read the famous buccaneering storiea of Morgan, Dntke and O'Baxle, at the time tbey sailed into the harbor here from the upanisn main to capture and sack Panama, you will know they lost by yellow fever, and since the .United Slates .took charge ot the proposed canal we have had about 40 oaaea and 11 deaths. v ' '. ' - rve a. , . A funny thing about thla yellow fever waa that the other day the cruiser Boa ton, -Captain NUea commanding, lying three miles out in the harbor, entirely away from any land, developed seven cases of yellow fever in te ward-room, entirely among; the officers. 'Hot one cf the crew of over 160 men nad a case i f ever. The - doctor of thla boat died after three days' suffering.

Some- people's eyatema are ae constituted that they may throw" off this' poison without injury and ' others take the fever. ' - I believe It is well to let-every young man kttowr-who intends to come to the Isthmus, that he will get either yellow fever or malarial, fever. After a -year or two of residence on the isthmus every one is bound to get malaria and spend a week qr two, Jn the hospital, andabout once a yean a man must leave tor colder climate 'for a time and build tap hla system. Other than this I can see no reason why a young man wishing to make bis way or build up a business should not come down here.

We found a great many French upon tbe isthmus when we arrived here, but they have almost entirely dropped out of the canal construction, with the excep tion of a few, fornh simple reason that the French habits in working on the construction of tbe canal for the last SO years have been so careless and of such a nature that with tbe present methods of that hustling engineer. 1.

The average excavator of .New York, that sturdy Irish-American, can come down here to this country, look the canal over, and no doubt make a great showing in moving thla dirt, -The great est problem in the work of constructing this canal is where to put the dirt- how to get rid of it as economically aa possi ble and so as tot accomplish the best work and to do that it is necessary to have numerous tracks extending front the route of the canal off on each aide so that tbey can dispose .of thla dirt quickly, and that Is the greatest diffi culty experienced here. The whole coun try la billy and swampy, and they have not got the ground to run the tracks on, consequently thatfls a serious drawback. The construction pf the subwsy of New fork, in comparison with this canal, was much harder for the simple reason that there were a hundred and one dim cultles . to overcome, such aa ' bracing immense- buildings, going under; rail roads and atreeta on which wa very heavy traffic, cutting gas and, water pipe, sewers, etc.. snd still keeping up traffic; but this proposition is: simply one of moving dirt and mud.
