satisfaction was expressed today In
administration circles at the con
clusion of tho treaty by which Colum
bia will receive 123,000.000 from
tho United States for tho loos of
I'anamu.
Karller nccountM wore that the
I'nltcd States was given tho right to
dig another Intcr-occanlc canal
through Colombia, together with a
coaling station on tho Colombian
coast. This was denied todny. It
was clear, however, that the south
ern republic had received whnt It
considered ratlsfactlon and that
amicable relations between the Wash
ing and Ilogota governments had
been restored.
Colombia was said orginaliy to
have Insisted on freo assago for Its
shipping through tho Panama canal,
but It yielded this contention as
soon as It was learned that President
Wilson opposed exemption of Ameri
can shipping from tolls.

OF CALUMET PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, April S. Tho
scheduled npearnuco today of Quin
cy Shnw, iiresldent of tho Calumet
ami lleelu Mining comimuy, beforo
tho hoiibo sub-commltteo which Is in
vestigating tho .Michigan copper
strike, has been postponed. Chair
man Tnlor said tho committee, was
too busy with other phnses of thu
Investigation to hear Shaw at this
time.
Tho Improvement of tho Pacific
highway from Central Point to Gold
Hill, Instead of tho Immedlato im
provement of the stretch connecting
tho Siskiyou grado with Ashland was
forecasted by Stato Highway Engl
neer Dowlby upon his return to Port
land Tuesday evening aftor two duys
spent in tho valley. He said.
"Tho action of the county court In
holding up tho highway construction
nt cither sldo of Ashland, until tho
peoplo of that city furnish the county
with right-of-way, meets with tho
state highway commission's approval
and paving operations wilt bo stopped
this sldo of the Hillings farm. In
stead of connecting up tho new
grado with Ashland, on account of
tho threatened Injunctions and law
suits, wo shall probably proceed with
tho Central Point-Gold Hill Improve
ments. The dlfforcnco between the
north and soutii ends of tho valley
Is that In tho north tho fight Is to
secure the highway and In the south
tho tight Is against It. Tho farmers
of tho north end appreciate tho valuo
of a paved road near tholr place, with
out cost to themselves.
v ;;Xho paying tf,he Central Point
road Is progressing satisfactorily
The cost during Jhe Initial portion,
the period of organisation, has of
courso been heaviest, but tho pave
ment so far laid has not cost over
SI. 2a per squaro yard, and this will
bo reduced to below 11.10 possibly
SI for. thoNentlro stretch.
"Thovstato, In addition to paying
all engineering expenses on tho Pa
cific highway, will pay for all thu
machinery used, refunding to tho
county tho monoy so expended. Thus
at tho conclusion of tho work, the
state wilt have a complete equipment
for road building."
Tho Central Point authorities, for
so mo unknown reason, shut off tho
water supply from tho paving gang
Wednesday morning, ana had It not
been for tho rain, tho necessary
sprinkling of tho now concreto would
havo been Impossible. Tho supply
is metered and paid for as used iim
was turned on aftor a visit of pro
test by Engineer Klttrldgo.
