BUILD NICARAGUA CANAL.
President Mckinley Will Make the Appeal to
Congress.
By the Associated Press.
New Yoke, Nov. 7. A dispatoh to tb8
Herald from Washington guys:
In President McKinley's message to
cot.gres will be a very strong appeal for !
immediate legislative aciion for the con
struction of tbe Nicaragua canal under
government direction. Tbe president
will point out that tbe reoent additions
to our possessions in the Paoitio and tbe
West Indies make it imperative.
President McKinley fully appreciates
the difficulties in tbe way of securing
prompt action, but be end other canal
advocates also appreciate that failure
this year may menu permanent failure.
Seuce prepnretioDB are going forward
for one of the most active fights ever
waged in the interest of the canal.
Ihe action for the Nicaragua govern
ment in granting a new concession for
the construction of the canal conditional
upon tbe forfeiture of the contract with
tbe Maritime Canal company in Ootober
next, added new oomplioations iu tbe
way ot legislation. Tbe authorities con
sider it another argument tor prompt
action which contemplates tbe con
struction of tbe canal under government
direotiou on tbe basis ot the concession
granted to tbe Maritime Canal oompany.
Tbe Morgan bill, in all of its essential
features, is understood to have tbe en
dorsement of tbe administration.
It is supposed that tbe new oompaay
will be inimical to the Maritime Canal
company. It is assumed if it does not
sucoeed in selling out to tbe concession
aries, It will exert its iufiueDOe to pre
vent action by oongresa this winter Mn
order that its oontract may go inlo effeot
next October. Besi.ses opposition from
this new company, friendsof tbe Morgan
bill will Lave tbe powerful Huntington
and Panama canal interests arrayed
against them. Friends of the Utter
party are already in Washington pre-

The first requisite to intelligent deal
ing witb alkali lands is a clear under
standing of tbe way in wbioh alkali
forms, and a reoentlr published paper
by Professor John A. Wadtsoe, of tbe
Utah Agricultural College, is exception
ally clear on Ibis point. "Alkali," says
Professor Wadtsoe, "is that portion of
the soil which is most readily soluble in
water. As rains come tbe alkali is
carried down into the soil, only to return
again as the water returns by capillary
attraation, to tbe surface, where the
alkali is left as a black or white ooatiog

(Scarcity of Feed.
Portland Telegram,
James S. Hackett, a well known raiser
of fine sheep, was in the oity yesterday
from his home in Peodletou. Like 'ail
Eastern Oregou stockmen, he is wor
ried over the grass outlook , as no ruin
bus yet fallen iu tbe bunobgrass bi'ls of
Umatilla county, and tbe oold, starlight
nights leave a covering of ice 00 the
drying streams every morning. The
usual Heptember rains did not material
ize this year to start tbe grass, and now
it is gutting too late to expect rains o do
any good, as tbe oold weather will not
permit the growth ot Vegetation.
There is a good deal of b-iy iu the
country. Mr. Hackett say e, but cattle
and sheep would Boon "eat their beads
off.'' A snowy period of 40 days wou d
require one ton of bay to every five
sbeep, and tbis would mean nn expense
of $1.50 b bead for these 40 dsys, to Bay
nothing of the balauoe ot ibe winter.
Tbe ranges of Umati'la ouu ity are
over-stooked at best, and sheep aie low
brow.-ing in tbe greasewooi alo.'ig the
south side of tbe Columbia river, wbere
tbe docks bave to trail from ttirue to six
miles to obtain water. Greasewood will
keep them alive for a little while during
mild weather, but the stock will get thin
ner every day.
He looks for a mutton and beef famine
in the Northwest about February aud
March, as the fat stock will hve all
been exhausted by that time, aud con
sumers muni look east of tai R eky
mountains for fresh meat. This menus
a return of the steers and welhers taken
away from Oregon lust summer, after
the expense of fattening and freight
b ith ways tun b.-vJti incurred.

Quite Reasonable.
Little 'Rastuswas entirely too fond
of asking questions, so his father said,
and in order to shift the burdens which
he found too great for his uneducated
shoulders to bear, old 'Rastus sent the
boy to school, where the following col
loquy is said ta have taken place: Lit
tle 'Rastus "W'y am de sun brighter'n

"We dun no' fo' shuah dat he am,

his hands he couldn't do ez well."
The Workmen Were Irish.
An Irish landlord, the owner of some
historical ruins, was recently appealed
to by the society for the protection of
ancient monuments, to prevent their'
destruction by careless tourists. He at
once ordered that a wall should be
built around them. Upon his return to
Ireland, he was astonished to find that,
though the wall had been completed,
the ruins had disappeared. The work
men had used the ruins to build the
wall
