HlHsJoro, Or., March 28, fo thT Ed itor of The Journal That the untime ly death of th g-reat emancipator de layed the dlgginff of the Panama canal for half a century seems to b the con clusion reached by a research atudent in the state university at Eugene, in ht recent studlet In history. In an article printed In The, Journal of March 24 he gives a biography of W. E. Curtla as authority for the a tat. ruent that Lincoln was worr1ed.over the question of what to do with the negro regimen ftt tne close of the war; fear ing that they might itlve trouhi guerilla bands In the south and that ne appealed to General Butler to know what would beat b done with these black volunteers whether to end them vi woem, or to colonise them. Gen eral Butler, so the story goes, auggeated mat mey be sent to Panama to dig me canal to connect th oceans. The president, we are told, thought favor ably of the enterprise and referred the whol matter to gecrutary Beward. The great excitement following the assas sination of the president and the mo mentous queetions ensuing caused the subject to be lost sight of entirely. Many of. the saytntrs probably, and much that la told of Lincoln, as of Washington, have only the fertile Imag ination or biographers as a basis of fact, but If any such plan an that said to have been propounded by General But ler and indorsed by the president was in contemplation. It furnished no Justifica tion for th belief that the Panama canal could have been dug any earlier than lt Is now being built. The French, as we all know, met with signal allure, because of thrun- neaumuiness or tne canal aona. Iit when the United States undertook IWe work, swamps In the canal sone wre drained, the cities and towns cleaned up, and these parts made afe and healthy places, whre men, white or black, may ILva.And work with Impunity. All this was accompllshedr under scientific guid. ance. mo aeam rate in tne canal gone, prior to this period, was so high tha no great undertaking could have been successfully prosecuted, not even with black laborers from the Wet Indies or Central America.

An swers to this question are too many to enumerate. Suffice It to say that for China herself It means a steady ad vancement in all branches of modern civilization, and to her friends lt offers an unprecedented opportunity. With the adoption of a modem republican constitution and the codification of her laws. China, once free from her ancient bondages, will march forward by leaps and bounds. There are the railways to build, the mines to offtjri, the Industries io aeveiop, tne religious attitude to shape, the social fabric to weave. In Short, China has to ba remade. As was the case with the revolution it,.if tha impending change will be acoompllshed with such speed that we shall soon find Chin a brand-new country, a regular workshop with her teeminfr nnn.llutlnn China has contributed to tha outer world in the past.

When these young men return to China as engineers, agricul turists, foresters, and so forth, do you think that they can turn their backs ii post--the United States and flirt with Germany or Russia?

La Pine, Or., March 28, l18;To the Editor of The Journal In the Saturday Evening post of March appeared an ar tide with the title, "Uncle Barn's Woo Lot." Th writer seems to be greatly exercised over the timber question and what will become of us when lt is gone, If the national forests are vast enough to cover an area from "Maine to Vir ginia," we might withdraw half of It, then have enough to last a thousand years. V.iy worry over the problems of 'posterity a thousand years hence? It will probably be a fireproof age any way brick, cement. Iron and other ma terials will tako the place of lumber. Air and water travel will be so cheap mat we can arrora to ship lumber from South America and Africa, and heat the "timber monopolists" at their own game: So' don't worry. The people of this age and generation want their "doughnut" now. Quoting from the article mentioned': In nearly, every forest there Is some grass. Throughout the greater part of the national forests the trees stand so far apart that grass flourishes In the spaces between- . them, Udoh these forest ranges, or woodland pastures, there grassed last year nearly fourteen million head of cattle, horBeSi sheeD and goats. The food these supply every year for our people amounts to more than four hundred million pounds of meat. enough to supply about one sixth of all the people in th United States." The great amount of meat produced does not lessen the cost of living any. The. only people who-are getting their "doughnut" out of the national forests are the meat barons and the -forest peo ple themselves. dive settlers a chance at that fine grass and they could Produce enoue-h meat to feed thj whole United States, and It won't cost the government mil lions to Keep u up, either. Quoting from the article again: "Sup pose you re a settler. Your land Js untimbered.; If you are wise you will go to tne nearest telephone, call up the government lurest ranger and tell him man naa another think coming. Ons may nave, tnem, 'tis true, if one pays for thorn. I know. I have tried. There wre thouuands of acres In the forest runerve around nere covered with fine gruss. no timber.

As to "asking the sYuiger for what you want" It sounds like a dream.
