"Why Does Not God Destroy tho Dovll?" maulan revolution from Colombia. In n nutshell, wo know that It tho revolution was successful wo would got what wo wanted and would bo able to go on with tho cnnnl building without furthor delay; also, wo know thnt If Colombia continued to con trol tho caital territory, there might Ira no cud to tho difficulties. Many people go no tar as to sny that tho United States actively nldod tho revolution; cortnlnly wo did nothing to check It. As n result of our rather rough shod action, work on th cnnnl started In 1005. Hut to this dny Colombia Is bitter against us for what wo did. Pressure Is still being brought to bear to have tho cntlro matter placed before tho llnguo arbi tration tribunal. It Is not Impos sible that this may bo done, and thnt If It Is done Ditto Colombia may got some Indemnity. An Indication of how Colombia feels toward us Is shown by tho fact that Secretary Knox, who Is touring Contra) America, probably will not bo asked to visit that country. Tim Canal Itself. In 1905 construction started. At tho outset It was expected thnt tho canal would bo completed In 1015, but It Is now announced thnt It will bo ready for shipment In July, 1913. Tho present head of tho construc tion Is Colonel G. W. Goothnls. Tho entire work Is now under tho man agement of tho United States army, for since tho resignation of John F. Stevens tho big Job has been tnken out of tho hnnds of civilian engi neers. A general description of tho Canal will bo given In next week's article. 8 J&ff- " "I TU a. tU tt "VSL I 3SE ssssbiwmsjsswws(jbjsm( I 111 T T?" M La Pine, Crook County, Oregon.

Tho Hend delegation to tho Irri gation congress In Portland last week reported, on their return, that thero was much Interest In tho sessions and that a good start was mado toward gottlng laws that will protect tho settler on Irrigation projects In his state. Among those speaking bo- fore tho convention wore A. O. Hun ter and Vernon A. Forbes. About forty towns were represent ed, and tho Dend delegation was tho largest from any city outside of Port land. Hill Hanley was elected president of the congress, and among tboso appolntod by him on tho executive committee were H. C. Ellis of llond and J. W. Drawer of Redmond. The next meeting place will be de cided on by this committee. EDITOR ENTERS &ACE PRINEVEXE WINS TWO (continued from page ono) of tho construction army; and, worst of all, graft and fraud ruled with a free hand, and millions of dollars of stock holders' mpney was absolutely wasted through Incompetent handl ing of vanished In tho pockets of tho thieving directors and contractors. Finally tho French concern "went broke." They had no cosh with which to continue operations, and unless they could find a purchaser all their Investments on tho Isthmus were utterly wasted. That was, ap proximately, In 1900. Just about then tho United States was considering the possibility of constructing a canal through Nica ragua, north of Panama. The French company offered to sell out all their Panama rights to Uncle Sam. Thero was a lot of very complicated bar gaining and Jockeying, somo of It creditable and some of It otherwise. Finally, to make a long story very short, what is now the republic of Panama revolted from Colombia, to which country It belonged. That was In 1003. Just beforo tho so called "revolution," which was an opera 'bouffe affair, tho United States bad been bargaining with Colombia for the canal property which, In a few months, would have been forfeited to it by tho French company because of the lapse of & time contract. Colombia tried to "double -cross" us; the price she asked was exorbitant, and the con ditions unreasonable. Just then it looked very much as If the Panama route would 'be abandoned and Nica ragua chosen instead. Tbon, at a peculiarly opiortuno time, came the "revolution" of 1903. At once, contrary to precedent, the United 8tate recognlied the revolu tionists and their new republic of Panama, and even wont so far aa to forbid Colombia from attempting to bring back the revolted portion of her territory. Vory shortly after that the new republic sold to the United States all we wanted for tho Canal, and the French company also sold us their holdings. Panama got 110,000.000 tor a. trip of country ten miles wide, from one ocoan to the other, through which the Canal passes; for this she also receives, after next year, an an nual rent of $250,000. The French company received 140,000,000 for.nll their, Holdings and .rights. .Colombia 'Hetents Our Aptipav A great deal of criticism has been dlrected'at the course followed bytbe UliRTkate ' lnreganiTtotbePaua- YUltors Outplay Local Quintet In Ibukct 1111 Games. Tho Prlnovlllo basket ball team won both of the games here on Fri day and Saturday nights, but the Dend boys worked hard against their more skilled opponents. The score of tho first game waa 36 to 23 and of tho second 31 to 13. Good team work and accuracy In shooting goats from tho field made both victories easy for the visitors. Bend's main weakness was n not being able to closely guard their op ponents, and the Prlnovlllo mon often bad a try at the baskot without any Interference. In the first game C. Springer did fine work In throwing foul goals, but Baturday night got only one basket out of many tries. Howard W. Turner Announce Candi dacy fur County Clerk.
