The oM Dismal Swamp canal, in Virginia, which has been in process of reconstruction for some time, was formally opened to navigation on Oc tober 14th. says the ; Manufacturer. This canal is a link to connect Chesa peake bay 'with Albemarle and Pamli co sounds. The route will avoid Cape Hatteras and make it easy to trans port freight in barges in tow of tugs, thus revolutionizing the carrying busi ness In the section traversed. The ac tual cut Is about 23 miles-long; It has a depth of 10 feet and a width of SO feet. There are but two locks, one at each ertJ of the route. With this great work some Philadelphia I contractors and capitalist have been Identified, and it represents an expenditure of about a million dollars. The old course -had almost filled up with roots and fallen trees, arid it was no easy matter to get these out, pre paratory to putting the i dredges at work. The construction , of the canal will have the effect of draining this vast Virginia marsh in some degree, and the enterprise Is noteworth, too, on this account, since considerable farming land may thus be reclaimed to profitable uses. - ; - The opening of this link In the chain not only brings Pamlico sound into communication with Chesapeake bay; it gives us an Inland waterway as far. north as New Tork. From the Chesa peake a boat may pass through the Delaware arid Chesepeake canal to the Delaware river, and up the latter to the Delaware and Raritan canal at Bordentown, and thence toy the Rari tan river Into New Tork harbor. Small gunboats, useful In the national de fense, can now pass, therefore, from New Tork. through Philadelphia.. Bal timore and Norfolk to Cape Lookout, In North ; Carolina. A t very ; small amount of work would be required to run down as far as Wilmington. N. C, thus furnishing a safe Inland passage for freight boats or small war vessels for a distance of 600 miles along the Atlantic seaboard. - ; The opening of a canal which makes such a Journey feasible is certainly no small matter in the history of the In ternal development of ; the United tates. .. OIL AS FTJEL ON WARSHIPS. ': Surprising Results Said to-Have Been - Obtained In Tests at Norfolk. The name trut, which is popularly applied to all these large aggregation .--, a ptial, was somewhat accidental in Its origin, says Scribner's Maglztne. It has, however , an appropriateness which few persons realize. The mana gers of every consolidated enterprise, whether based on a contract, a trust agreement of an actual consolidation, are exercising powers to benefit or In jure the public which are analogous to'lhe trustee. It has been said that alt property ,1s. In Its wider sense, a trust in behalf of the consumer. But where competition 4s. active the power of using your business methl to Im pose high prices, is so far limited that the chance for ibuse of this trust Is greatly lessened. It is only in the case of large combinations with their dis cretionary power for good or evil,, that the character of trust reposed by so ciety in the directors of its business enterprises makes itself really and tru ly felt. With these trusts, as with vry other trust that derives the name It Is hard to provide legislative machin ery which will absolutely secure its fulfillment. The ability to handle any trust Is the result of a long process of legal ami moral education. We can not make a law which shall allow the slight exercise of a dlscreti nary pow er and prohibit its wrong exercise. But It l possible to modify the existing Hw In a great many directions, which will hasten Instead of retard the edu cational process. - For three months past the govern ment has been testing oil burners to ascertain the practicability of 'using oil Instead of coal as fuel for naval vessels. These tests have been' made at. the Brooklyn navy yard and at the Norfolk navy yard. At the latter the torpedo-boat Talbot has been used in the experiments. The ; results, have not been made public.' It is known, however, that at the last test-made here, this week, surprising results were achieved. The gas generators placed under the boilers of the Talbot for the purpose of this experiment developed such tremendous heat that the officer In charge was obliged to extinguish the oil fire. The Intense heat Is stated to have generated so much steam that the engines were unable to use it' and the exhaust blew off o fast that all the water In the boiler was lost. A naval officer of high rank who was told of this said: " "The dream of years has been real ized, and In a few months we will be able to sail from here to Manila with out a stop." The advocates of the new fuel say that, pouqd for pound, the vessel us ing oil can Steam three times as far as the one burning coal, and the con viction appears to have been forced upon mny naval'meh that these state ments are well baed. TJje oil used In the residue from the petroleum re fineries, and its cost Is stated not to be so great as that of coal. The Talbot has been ordered to pro ceed to the Brooklyn navy "yard, where further tests will be made. No more experiments will be made here. It is proposed to carry the oil on ship board In tanks built In the vessel's side. As the oil is consumed: water will be , pumped beneath It and thus the ship's draught will vary little. NOW IN MISSOURI A Former Salem Pastor Has a Pastor ate at Warrensburg. Rev. H. A. Denton, formerly pastor of the First Christian churclj of Sa lem, is now pastor of a similar church at Warrensburg, Missouri. In a let ter to the Statesman under a recent date, the reverend, gentleman says: I sometimes wonder If the States man force Is about as when I used to see It when I handed In my church no tices.

TEACIIEBS TO MEET PROGRAM FOR THE 8TATK. ASSO- CIATI05 IS READY. An Interesting: and Profitable Time Is Promised for the Big- Gath ering: in Salem. (From Dally, Dec. 1st.) - The western division of the . Oregon State Teachers association will be held in this city on December 27th to 29th, and extensive preparations are under way for the proper reception of the several hundred teachers. who are ex pected to . visit Salem at that time. Professors J. H. Ackerman. D. W. Yoder and G. W. Jones have been selected as the executive committee of .the organ zation, and they have now completed the program for the meeting of the association In December. Prof. J. H. Ackerman has now In the printer's hands the program for the three days session, and with, it he will send out to the various teachers of the state the following circular letter- explaining the conditions bringing, about the session of the association and details regard ing the preparations being made for the' reception of the visitors. The cir cular, which Is self-explanatory, is hereto appended: ' "The size of the state and Its geo graphical divisions are such that It is impossible to hold a session of the as sociation in any one place so as to ac commodate the teachers in all sections: hence, it has been deemed advisable to divide the association into two divi sion Eastern and -Western tne East ern division to bold its session at some point east Of the Cascades, and the Western division to hold Its meetings west of the mountains. There has been a growing sentiment that teachers would take a deeper In terest in the success of the association If the management and responsibility were more directly entrusted to them; hence. In compliance with this feeling, a temporary organization of the teach ers of Eastern Oregon was made last March and perfected at a meeting held at La Grande, In November. So far no effort has been made to organize the teachers of Western Oregon farther than the appointment of an executive committee to arrange a program for a meeting to be held at Salem, where the matter of an organization will be proposed. " , The committee has prepared an -cellant program and the people of Mar Ion and adjoining counties are doing everything in their power to .make the meeting a success and I bave no hes itancy In assuring the teachers that. If they do their part well, we -will have one of the largest and most : success ful meetings ever held In Oregon. "The department of superintendence has called a meeting to convene at Sa lem on the same dates as the' associ ation meeting and is another attrac tion that adds much to the interest of the meeting. "Meeting Place. The assembly hall In the state capltol has been secured for all meetings of the association. This beautiful room has a' seating ca pacity of 500 and Is well adapted for meetings of this character. "Entertainment. Entertainment is promised in the way of a reception given by the Salem teachers after the program for the first evening is com pleted. A light lunch will be served and every effort made to make It an enjoyable event. An opportunity will be given those remaining In Salem the day following the cloe of the associa tion to visit the various state institu tions and other places of in terest In the Capital City." The program, as prepared by the committee, and which will be sent out with the above letter to the various educators of the state, is appended hereto, and will be found to be one of the most complete of any ever prepar ed for a similar occasion on the coast; It follows: WEDNESDAY.

Where All the Junk Floating Around Is Garnered In. "There Is a dead spot In the Carib bean sea," said the first officer of a Brazilian ship, chatting at the custom house the other tiay with a reporter of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "that ought to Jbe called the port of bottles. It lies very nearly midway between Cartagena, in Columbia, and Kingston,! Jamaica, and at a guess I should say It was due east off Cape Graclas a! Dios. It Is out of the steam er tracks an dthe action of the great currents going one way and ' another has left a space of stagnant water without any real movement at all. Anything that; gets Into the deatf spot is apt to stay there unless driven out by some big storm, and will simply drift round, gathering sea grass and barnacles. The last time I saw the place was in 1895. when I was on board a tramp from Rio that had changed its course, a little to take up some rubber at a Central American port. While we were passing through we notlceU a floating spar and among a lot of rubbish at tached to it . was a - peculiar-looking round object, bright red in color. We put off a boat to Investigate, and It proved to be a patent buoy, which had been set adrift from a Florida light house station in 1893 and was a part, of a systematic attempt to ascertain the speeU and direction of the cur rents. Inside.-was an .official memo randum which was 'afterward return ed to the navy department with the data of when and where found. "But what Is a good deal mere In teresting Is the fact that while we were securing the buoy we Uiscovered three bottles sticking In the drift, all covered with weeds and slime. One was empty and the other had papers Inside. The first was a memorandum from a yacht off the Grand Cayman in, I think, the year 1892, and the oth er inclosure showell that it came from a ship bound for Montevideo, on what date I Idehtly forget. In each case it was ev- the whim of some Idle passen ger, but it was a little odd that we should find the whole collection to gether. I noticed a lot of other (drift wood In the dead spot and I am con fident that no end of bottles could be culled from the place. Hundreds are dropped overboard every year, but very few escapes being knocked - to pieces, unless they find their way to some such a still place as I have de scribed. , THE HEAVY PEOPLE BIG TAX-PAYERS AS SH0W3T BX THE ASSESSMENT ROLL.
