Washington,. Jan. J. Charles Nagel,
a secretary of commerce, and labor, sub
' mining ma annual report, nor, oniy
. recommends a free Panama canal for
' . American ships, but presents strong
arguments to behalf of the proposition.
"The country realizes," he writes,
. .'that f ree navigation" promotes jcnm-
merce and that .our commerce la aa es
entlal to our country's' welfare as the
great .productive) Industries of agrlcul
ture, -manufacturing arid mining. Pur
uant to that policy, since 1884 con
gress has appropriated $627,065,707 for
river and harbor, improvements, com
' pared with , an estimated cost of the
Panama canal to the day of opening of
1376,000,000," ,
' Mo JTolloy Change Hcsry.
The secretary does not understand
why 'the canal, great as is Its coBt
should cause any change In our untaxed
navigation policy. ' He points out tnat
mtulons have been expended on our
waterways where foreign vessels have
derived the same benefits aa our own.
Of the canal itself he says:
"It is expected that the Panama canal
will solver some of our great problems
of domestic transportation. It will, of
course, bring our states on the Atlantic
and Pacific much closer together, and
will offer - new opportunities to ' the
states of the gulf, but it will also give
the grain and lumber of British Colum
bla and the Cana'dlan northwest an all
water rotate shorter to European mar
kets by 8000 miles than they now pon
sess. To the west coast of South
America it will mean closer business
relations with the old world. In many
of the foreign commercial results to be
wrought by the canal the United States
will have no Immediate share. Indeed,
It is possible that some' of them may be
In a measure to our commercial dlsad
vantage. In that other nations will reap
profits from our great investment at
the lsthmua. Nevertheless, we may
look with satisfaction upon our con
' trlbutlon to such development, because
la some form advantage must come to
us."
Takes Tp Merchant Marine,
Then, dropping easily to the subject
of ' the - merchant "marine, Secretary
Nagel says:
- "The subject of Panama canal tolls
cause It is vital to the future of Amer
ican merchant shipping. Our . oppor
tunlty Immediately after the war with
Spain to adopt reasonable measures to
secure creditable maritime rank was
neglected. The Panama canal Is being
built In the belief that It will benefit
all sections of the country and nearly
every form of American Industry. Our
merchant ships and shipyards are as
MAnHnl tn th nfltlnn. As nur hattle.
ships. They have at least a claim to
equal consideration In canal legislation
and appropriations with other American
Industries, ' ' ',
"JJvery argument to tax the Ameri
can mercnani snip wnicn uses me canni
would .apply with equal force to a tax
directly on American cotton, lumber,
fruit, coal, grain, and other cargo car
ried by the ship through the canal. It
is feasible to use the canal for the pro
motion of American, navigation in s
manner consistent with treaty obliga
tions, with proceuent at home and
abroad, and with our fixed policy of un
taxed navigation on Improved water
ways.
Importance Wot Overstated.
"The importance of a merchant ma
rtne owned by citizens of the United
States and-sailing In foreign trade
under our flag cannot, in my judgment,
be overstated. It appears to me to be
an essential factor in the development
of foreign trade. It would be accepted
by all countries as the final proof of the
determination to enlarge and to main
tain our trade abroad, and it would
place our country in a position to be
consulted in the fixing of competitive
rates by maritime carriers.
"While it would, of course, be desir
able to have the benefit of such a mer
chant marine and at the same time to
have the ships for foreign trade built In
our yards, experience; -seems to teach
that, for the present at least, the ac
complishment of both o'bjects is out of
the question. Ocean steamships for the
foreign trade are not built In our yards,
and have not been built for some years,
except under the provisions of the ocean
'mall act Of 1891 or In anticipation of
the probable passage of legislation to
extend the principle of that act after
the war with Spain. .
Little Season fox Hope.
"That legislation failed. While I
have recommended the readjustment of
the ocean mall act of 1891 to the pres
ent requirements of out commerce, and
desire here to renew that recommenda
tion, I sea no reason to hope that at the
present time It will be adopted. The
rarintrv law alone rives no orotectlon
to the Industry of shipbuilding for the
foreign trade, and from the nature' of
modern navigation It cannot do so. The
polloy of discriminating duties, which
was always a declaration of commercial
warfare, has been abandoned for genera

Corvallls. Or., Jan, 8.--"The Indies
tlons are that we will have by far the
largest enrollment we have ever had,"
said Dr. James Wlthycombe, director of
th$ experiment station1, . this morning,
discussing, the advance enrollment for
the fifteenth annual short course for
farmers, which opened this morning.
"Judging by the Interest shown in the
different parts of the state I .have
visited this fall and winter, there seems
to be a growing Interest In this branch
of the college's activity. My prediction
Is that we will have 1000 for. the short
course ana larmera wees mis year, aii
together." .
"A reawakened interest In dairying
and general farming, especially in
dairying, Is shown by the advance en
rollment of students," said 'Dean A. B.
Cordley at the close of the first two
hours of registration. The 'department
of horticulture reports two men 'who
have come all the way from Omaha,
Neb., for the short course work, a num.
ber from British Columbia, five times
aa many as last year from Hennieton,
and large delegations from the Hood
River and Rogue River valleys.
La Grande is sending a good repre
sentation for the courses in animal
husbandry, and Professor B. L. Potter
of that department states that there
have been more Inquiries as to the
courses tn stock raising and Judging
than in any previous year, indicating a
large ' Increase in enrollment.
In many of the lecture courses
mimeographed copies of .the substance
of the lectures have been prepared for
distribution among the students, that
they may be able to refresh their
memories on Important points after
they return home.
The stock judging pavilion, with
warm room, 38x90 feet and free from
drafts, will greatly Increase the effl
clency of the stock judging and other
animal husbandry courses.
tlons by all maritime countries as worse
than impotent. In the meantime we are
postponing the creation of the merchant
marine which we need. I have nC hesl
tation, therefore, In recommending the
passage of a bill for the admission of
foreign built ocean steamships to
American registry to engage solely In
the foreign trade.
Would Deprive TJs of jrothlng.
"The enactment of such a measure
would deprive 'us of nothing, and It may
help to provide us with a great com
mercial aid, Jt would surely increase
the shipping under our flag in trade
with Central America, the West Indies
and some parts of South America, for
the American owners of a" number of
foreign steamships have already asked
congress to grant them American regis
tera for those trades. Even if the law
suggested Bhould fall short of the
moderate expectations I entertain of its
results, It would. In any event, serve
to point out what else It Is necessary
to do in order that we may secure under
our own control an adequate merchant
marine.
"Although the facilities for passenger
transportation between Hawaii and the
mainland should be Improved, It must
be borne In find that under the pro
tection of law fleets of excellent ocean
steamers for trade with Hawaii and
Porto Rico have already been built in
the United States and are entitled to
consideration In any legislation that
may be had."

RELIGION MOVEMENT
The executive committee of the Men
and Religion Forward movement de
elded yesterday not to bold the eight-
day campaign scheduled for February
26 to March 3. Information to this ef
fect was telegraphed to Fred B. Smith,
leader of the movement and head of the
team of experts that were to come to
Portland.
The work of organizing religious work'
among men in local churches under the
five heads of social service, Bible study,
evangelism, boys' work and missions
will be continued as heretofore.
A condition of fatigue1 following the
Olpsy Smith meetings which caused
ministers to fall In responding to a
call for unanimous approval of a move
ment for general advance In the Chris
tian life of the city Is understood to
be ope of the reasons why the cam
paign will not be held.
The financing of the campaign was
made to hinge upon receiving an ex
pression of approval from each of the
132 protestant evangelical pastors of
the city. Fewer than 80 responded to
letter containing the request' sent
them by the chairman of the finance
committee.
When in Portland recently, John M.
Dean, representing the men and religion
movement, ueciarea uiai peion any ai-

to Treat Ingrowing Toenail.
2126 Vine St., Cincinnati. Ohio. "My
little boy's cheeks began retting son three
years ago. I tried everything I ever beard
of but nothing cured biro. At last I sent for
Cutleurs Soap and Ointment. After four
treatments his face began getting better apd
tn three weeks' treatment be was cured.
"Tbe first of July my oldest son fell and
cut his band. The cut was very deep. At
the time I was In the country and it was
Impossible to get him to any doctor. I tied
the wrist up aad put on the Cuticura Oint
ment rery thick, after that I washed It with
the Cuticura Soap and continued using the
Cuticura Ointment. He had no pain after
the Ointment was applied and soon was com
pletely cured of the cut with not a mark left.
Nothing Is better for Ingrowing toenails
than Cuticura Ointment. For more than
eight years I suffered with an ingrowing nail.
It almost set me wild. Two months ago I
started to use Cuticura Ointment on it. At
night I washed the foot with hot water and
Cuticura Soap, then I would apply Cuticura
Ointment on cotton and wrap the foot up.
The ointment softened the hard skin and
ft could be remored without pain. In a
week's time my foot was much better, now
It is entirely well.
"For cuts and bruises I think wishing
them with Cuticura Soap and applying Cuti
cura Ointment is the best thing on earth.
For insect bites if the bite la washed with
hot water and Cuticura Soap, and Cuticura
Ointment applied, one wiU receive immediate
relief. I have tried it and know." (Signed)
