THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The bill providing for the final con
struction of the Nicaragua canal will
probably pass congress at this sessson.
To those who have not informed them
selves upon the subject, it seems like a
hopeleES undertaking to construct a
canal for the distance this one appar
ntly requires, yet nature has done so
much that the work is reduced to a com
paratively small amount.
. n t . - . . .
xue exploration - or tne route was
made bj Commodore Lull, and is eaid
to show a practicable route, with lake
Nicaragua as its summit level, 107 feet
bove the sea. This route requires
canai sixteen miles long, beginning a
the mouth of the Rio del Medio and ter
minating at Brits. The first seven and
a half miles will require an excavation
averaging fifty four feet in depth, and
will be the most expensive part of the
whole work. Ten locks and one tide
lock will be required between the lake
nd the Pacific. There will then be
fifty-six miles of lake navigation. From
the lake the Atlantic will be reached
through the San Juan river, a sluggish
stream 400 yards broad and from ten to
twenty feet deep, which will be im
proved by four dams. A short section
of canal, with one lock, will be required
to get around each of the upper three
dams. Fromtbe fourth to the Carribean
sea a canal forty-two miles long will be
cut, requiring seven locks.
One of the principal difficulties will be
in maintaining a sufficient depth of
water at Greytown, the Atlantic term
inus of the canal. Some question is
raised as to there being sufficient water
to maintain the canal. This seems to
be set at rest by an examination of the
lake, the watershed and the rainfall
JLafce .Nicaragua has an area of 2,700
square miles, a drainage area of 8,000
square miles, and an average rainfall of
102 inches, and will supply, according
to actual measurments of the discharge
of the San Juan river, thirty-eight
times as much water as would be re-
quired. David Stevenson, the eminen
.English engineer, arrives at the conclu
Bion, from documents submitted to him
by an authorized official of the United
(States, and prepared by its authoritv,
that the principal engineering difficulty
is to maintain deep Jwater through an
extensive shallow foreshore, composed
of soft materials and exposed to heavy
seas. The estimated coPt of the canal
is $100,000,000.
AN INEFFICIENT OFFICER.
One Olaf Johnson has been publish
ing in the Oregonian some insinuations
that our Fish and Game Protector Mc-
Guire is inefficient. This arouses the
ire of that gentleman and he proceeds to
publish a statement from Mr. Sofas
Jensen, secretary of the Columbia River
Fisherman's Protective Union, to show
that he, Mr. McGuire, is the "only effi
cient, honest and impartial fish com
missioner ever had in the state of Ore
icon." Mr. Jensen' further presents the
results of his last candy-pull by saying
that McGuire's administration "de
mands the respect and gratitude of all
nsning interests, ana is an honor to
yourself and the governor who appoint
ed you."
This is really the most humorous con
troversy that has brightened the edito
rial page of the Oregonian for along
time. We have not the pleasure of Mr,
mcuuires acquaintance, but do not
doubt the statement that he is
a conscientious, honest gentleman. As
to his efficiency in enforcing the laws,
that is another matter. Mr. McGuire
has not been able to enforce the law at
all. This not his fault, but that of the
people. When justices of the peace do
not want the laws enforced, and are
backed by the community from which
the jurors are drawn to try the offend
ers, it is a safe wager that that particu
lar law is not going to be enforced. In
deed, it is doubtful if any power short
of omnipotence conld enforce, or any
wisdom short of omniscience could in
terpret the present game and fish laws
of Oregon. The last legislature made a
special act for every species of bird,
beast or reptile, and then, evidently for
lack of something else to do, it repealed
them all and enacted others in their
places. Mr. McGuire may be a very
efficient man, but when it cornea to
being an efficient officer In protecting
game or fish, he is not, and no other
man can be. -I
Spain having put the United States in
the list of countries that may be classed
as the most unfavored nations, Presi
dent Cleveland has intimated that if
this objectionable action is not at once
changed be will invoke that clause in the
Morrill tariff law that allows this gov
ernment to add ten per cent to the regu
lar duties levied on the products com
ing from those countries discriminating
against us. It is quite probable the
president would be more than glad to
invoke this law, as it would add ten per
cent to the amount of the duties paid on
sugar imported from Cuba, and would
add largely to the revenues of the gov
ernment, while at the same time giving
all other sugar-producing countries that
much advantage over Cuba in our
markets.
