By FREDERIC J. HASKIV. (Copyright. 1!08. by Frederic J Haokln.) Ancon, Canal Zone, July 25. From Colon to Panama one may utlll goo a thousand mute but elo quent remlnderB of the melancholy falluro of the French In their ef forts to duplicate here their triumph at Suez. Hern a half-mile string of engines and cars, there a long row of steam cranes, at this place a vast park of nondescript machinery, and at that a big dredge left high and dry on tho banks of the mighty Chagres at its flood stage. All of these are redolent with memories of burled hopes and defeated ambitions. Exposed to the ravages of 20 trop ical summers, decay runs riot, and but for the scenes of Hfo and In dustry being enacted by the Ameri cans on tho isthmus, one might feel himself stalking amid the tombs of 10,000 departed hopes, and the burying ground of the eavings ,of 100,000 French peasauts. The t torn pt of the Frotich to build the cunal will forever stand out as the grandest fiasco In history. Four hun dred million dollars was raised to lmlld the I'anania canal. From tho gilded palace and from the iieasajit s humble cotlane came the stream of gold that was to lay low the harrier that divided the Atlantic and the Pacific. At first tliey estimated that they could dig a ID-foot ea level canal for t 1 14,000,000. taking seven or eight years to do It.

A genorftl Democratic primary election Is ' in progress throughout Texas today, In volving results of more than ordinary Interest to the people of the state. The future of the liquor traffic In Texas hinges upon the result of the primary. Temperance legislation of .some kind seetna certain. The vote at the primary will decide whether It shall take tho form of a broad local option measure or absolute prohibition. Two distinct propositions are before the people, one to "estop the sale of liquor, the barter of the produrt, the Interstate shipment thereof, ami any traffic whatsoever In or growing out of liquor within tho state tf Texas," and one "to perfect the system of local option within the statu to the end that the laws may be more rigidly enforced." Prohibition will be the one big Issue of the state campaign this year.

As a result of yesterday's big winl storm two fishing boats with their occupants were missing for a time.

What they did was done with the utmost thorough ness, and time after time the American engineers, wandering away from the French plans, have been forced to come back to them. The most rotable In stance of tills Is the cose of the dams at the Pacific end of the canal. The French had planned two. one at Pedro Miguel, nnd the other at Miraflores. hen the Americans took charge they planned ore at PeJivr Miguel and the other at Boss Hilt. When tnev bejran to make the dump at Sosa they found that the ground seemed to have no bottom.

Duf fy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an ah-j solutery pure distillation of malt ed grain, great care being used to j have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatability and freedom from injurious sub stances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. If weak and run down, take a teaspoonful four times a day in half a glass of milk or water.

PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER COMPANY Bulletin No. 9. SUBURBAN TRAIN SERVICE The development of the suburban and interurban terri tory near a large city is largely dependent upon transporta tion. The highest development of the transportation prob lem is found in the modern high-speed electric train. Even the steam railroads admit this as witness the electrification of the N'ew York, New Haven & Hartford, New York Cen tral, Southern Pacific, Oakland, Cal., and many other sub urban steam lines. The same has been true of the lines running out of Port land to Oregon City, Cazadero, Gresham, St. Johns, Van couver, Mount Scott, Montavilla, Fulton and other nearbj; points. The running time of trains between Portland and Ore gon City has been reduced from 80 minutes to GO minutes. This and similar service can easily be maintained with the cooperation of passengers; for instance, the time lost in stops can be greatly reduced if passengers are ready tojeave or board the train promptly. In many cases railroads are adopting the plan of limiting the time of stops, and passen gers not ready are carried to the next stop ; or the number of stops is cut down, making the train an express of lim ited. This last method is objectionable where most stops, are of equal importance, and is only used as a last resort. That safe and reliable service may be maintained, a block signal system has been installed on the Oregon Qty line. This insures safety to passengers, and is in accordance with modern railway practice. New and heavier rails and a steel bridge over the Clackamas river have also been put in; ther improvements are contemplated soon. A new boat for the Vancouver ferry service will be in operation in a few months. These matters indicate the consideration given to this suburban service, and the efforts constantly made to im- prove it. The value of suburban property and residence la greatly; increased by frequent, regular and rapid train service. The market gardener, dairyman, poultry and stock raiser is also well served by the new "package freight" service recently inaugurated, by which such products are brought in on pas senger schedule and placed in the hands of dealers in a few hours after' preparation for the market,' instead of from one to three days, as by ordinary freight. The absence of dust, smoke, cinders, ability to quickly add cars to trains for rush or special travel, are all a part and feature of the suburban electric service. TOUR TRAINS TO THE, LAST !
