Washington, May - 3. At this time
there can be no exact date' set for
opening of the Panama canal to navi
gation. This is the opinion of. Colonel
George W. Goethals, the builder of the
big ditch.. He advised Secretary or War.
Garrison against making a definite
announcement of the opening date. The
master ditch digger has previously pre
dicted the opening of the waterway on
theflumber of slides In the cut which
separates the backbone of two conti
nents. As far as Goothals' work Is con
cerned, the canal-will be-completed the
latter part of tills year. The water will
be admitted Into tho 'canal from both
entrances early In October.
However, considerable time ' must
elapse for the "settling down." The
water will seep Into the cut and brg
sections may fall from the' sloping
walls of Culebra. This will necessitate
dredging out. Colonel Goethals is un
willing to make any prediction as to
the definite period of time within which
this settling process Will be completed.
It Is nature's work and man will have
to let nature have her course.
, Employes Most Be Drilled.
Even after the water Is let Into the
waterway, and if no slides occur, it may
be several weeks before commercial
vessels will be-given passage through
from ocean to ocean. The employes who
will handle the locks are to be thorough
ly, drilled in their work. The Intricate
machinery must be thoroughly studied.
The men must' know exactly what to do
and: how to do it. There are a vast
number of- details connected with - the
commercial opening which must , be
perfected. .-.
Secretary of War Garrison favors
granting permission, to Captain Roald
Amundsen, the Arctic . and Antarctic
explorer, to pass through the canal In
the Fram, on his way to the north pole
next winter. CdTonel Goethals thinks
the matter can . be arranged.
With the Opening of the canal not far
distant. Panama City is experiencing the
nort 'of a boom she had two centuries
ago, when the old Panama trail - was
used and when freebooters and pirates
sailed the Spanish Main.. '
Beady for Tourists.'
" 'Stores are springing up to catch the
stray dollar of the tourist. Five, years
ago Panama City was a veritable haven
for the purchaser of Chinese silks,' laces
and other Oriental novelties. The Pana
ma customs law Imposed no duties on
this ' class of stuff, and the Chinese
storekeepers were willing, after con
siderable, bargaining, to sell their goods
at jndiculously low-prices. One could
pure'hwse Shantung pongee, of the fin
est Quality, at 60 cents a yard. Can
ton linen, which is almost unobtainable
to the United States, or is mighty
scarce, was to be had at equally low

With a view to popularising travel to
the beach to & greater extent and also
to make changes, in the present tariff,
a number of officials of the O.-W. R.
& N. spent Friday and .Saturday in
visiting points on the lower Columbia
river and on the llwaco division and
at Astoria. The trip was made on the
steamer Harvest Queen, which has just
been overhauled and which :. will be
placed on the Astoria run, leaving here
at 9 tomorrow night.
R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the
O.-W. R." & N.,' headed the party, al
though it was under the direct guidance
of B. R. Budd, superintendent of the
llwaco division- and the water lines,
who cared for-the comfort of the party
to lta entire satisfaction.

The Harvest Queen, left Portland at
9 o'clock Friday morning, in command
of Captain Works, and. after making a
number of stops at . points along the
river, where some of ' th prominent
business men were interviewed, she
tied up at Megler Friday night' Satur

Nahcotta and back again to llwaco and
Megler, from which place the steamer

There the cannerymen and a num
ber of prominent business men were

hours and a half from the time the
train left Megler until the Harvest
Queen reached Astoria, She made the
run up from the latter place without a
stop, arriving at 9 o'clock last night.
Extend Vote of Thanks.
Among the places on the river which
were visited on the trip down were:
St. Helens Rainier, Oak Point, Cath

RICHMOND SCHOOL TO HAVE ITS OWN GARDEN EXHIBIT

The community garden of the Rich
mond achool Is progressing nicely. Ev
ery one of the 180 pupils who have
signed up for the garden work, has
become greatly enthused, and one of
the "best school gardens ln the city is
sure to result. 1 The schoolj garden has
been divided Into 180 plats, -which gives
each pupil ,an alioted space, for his or
her garden.' In all spare . moments,
morning, noon or night, the pupils are
at work in the garden.
Great credit must be given to ' the
Parent-Teachers' circle of the Rich
mond district,, for the success of the
school garden. The mothers have be
come almost as enthusiastic as their
children, and they are giving material
assistance in the supervising of thu
work. Almost , every afternbon several
of the sun-bonneted mothers may be
seen in the garden helping with 'the
spading and other preparatory work.
Principal O. R. Dinwiddns;tf the
Richmond school, has a well-defined
theory in regard to the achool garden
work which he intends to put into prac
tical use this spring.
' "Not only will the pupils be taught
the practical side of the garden work,
but they will, also be .taught to put
their Ideas and" their experience in
words," stated Mr. Dinwiddle. "I shall
require every child entering the garden

work to write a composition on what he
or she has done for the exhibit. '
"I believe that the composition work
is one of the most Important features
of Uie achool. work. The schools .are
turning away too many grCCuatea who
are unable to express their thoughts
clearly and concisely in- writing. I am
now making the writing of composi
tions an important factor In all
branches of the .school work, and It is
my intention that it shall become one
of the principal features of the achool
garden work."
The school garden work has aroused
so much interest throughout the Rich
mond district that a local exhibit is
now being planned. This local ex
hibit will in no way interfere with the
gardej) contest, but will be given mere
ly as a preliminary exhibit in order that
all cltixens of the district may see what
the school is doing In that branch of
the work. This exhibit will be given
shortly before the regular city school
garden exhibit. .
In the local exhibit the compositions
of the pupils will be considered equally
with the practical work In the award
ing of prises. Knowing this, 'the pu
pils are already taking notes on what
they are doing, and Principal Dinwiddle
believes that the conclusion of the work
will prove Ws theory that the writing
Qf compositions is as important aa is
the caring for the gardens.

but if I take a tablespoonful of your"malt irr the morning:, then my food
tastes fine and does not distress me. On the farm I took it before each
meal, and it gave me a better appetite and sleep became refreshing. I have

much good."-rSamuel Sage, Adjt Tom Custer Post, No. 178, G. A. R.

Made for medical purposes only, for use in the
home, hospital and sick room, Duffy's Pure Malt Whis
. key has gained an enviable record of achievement in
medication during the past half century. It is of a
higher standard of purity than is required by the U. S.

icine by the United States Government during the
, Spanish-American War. -

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the best obtainable medicine for all

. gans the nutriment necessary to their sustenance, and to the whole

Experience of a Specialist
Irving David Wiltrout, M. D., Ph. D. ".
"A heart stimulant of an unfailing character 13 frequently called for
in the course of every physician's practice. This is particularly so in the
exhaustion of acute maladies; and also there is need for a guarded stim
ulation in the' treatment of chronic affections. During the past year I
treated more than .400 institutional cases of the neurasthenic type where
the physical forces were reduced to such a degree and the circulation so
enfeebled that no function could be relied upon to do effective-service. In
80 per cent of these I employed, with proper discrimination as to a dosage,
Duffy's Pure Malt Whjskey; I found it an unfailing remedy agreeably
borne by the stomach, with a minimum of unpleasant mental disturbance.
. One feature of Duffy's to be highly recommended is the uniformity of
its chemical character. Thcrel.is no variation; therefore, it is reliable and
to be depended upon for results. It has no superior." Irving David Wil
trout, M. D., Ph. D., Spectalisr Nervous and MehtahDiseases, Eau Claire,

Stopped Stubborn Cough
"It is with great pleasure I write
to tell you what I think of Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey. I sincerely
believe it is. the grandest medicine
ever made". It relieved me of a
cough that my doctor could not
stop. I had been in poor health
three years. I took lots of medi
cine, but none of it seemed to do
me any good, till I heard of Duffy's
and got three bottles and took it.
N6w I am better and I tell every
one how it helped me." Mrs. lb

23 years.' When I first took it my
doctor said I would die from con

Duffy's in each glass, and to eat as
much as possible. In ten months
my cold disappeared and I gained
steadily, and today I weigh 195.
