ARE RUSHING
THE WORK
THE CANAL
ko doubt 1jut that it will be
.. Completed bit 1015 uncle
... sam has an army at work
AND PAYS IT 42 TONS OP
SILVER A MONTH.
"Work on the Panama Canal In its
magnitude would surprlso any man
who saw It for tho first tlmo," re
marked W. M. Hood, ' of Virginia,
'representative of a Cincinnati
house.
"I spent two months thcro this
yoar, and my first view of tho big
mtcn almost toon my oreatii away.
The efforts of tho French to dig tho
canal were pygamyllko compared to
"what our people are doing. This Is
Illustrated In tho difference In size
of the-cars and engines uBcd to haul
away tho dirt. It would bo possible
almost iu tho cab to place ono of the
French engines In tho cab of an Am
erican locomotlvo now in use.
"Wo have $35,000 men at work;
and tho payroll 1b $1,500,000 a
month, or 42 tons of monoy. No
paper money is used to ray tho men,
because of the fear that It might car
ry germs of disease. Tho dirt Is fly
ing so fast that It is marvelous, Thero
nro 380 engines and 3400 cars at
work, and the time roqulrod to un
load 40 cars Is less than 15 minutes.
"Tho groat work, of course, Is In
tho Culobra cut, which will take long
or to compfoto than any other part
"of tho ditch. It requires digging
down through 85 foot of solid rock,
to a base cf 400 feet. They aro us
ing a ton of dynamito ovory Any on
this work alone.
i "I havo not tho slightest doubt
that tho canal Will bo completed by
1015. Colonol Qootbals Is tho best
man that coutd bo found to superin
tend tho work. Ho la on ,tho Job
ovory mlnuto, and can bo soon any
day at C.30 .In tho morning at somo
part of tho canal.
"One of tho most surprising things
to mo was tho perfect cllmato and
sanitary conditions. I was thero for
noarly eight wcokB, and In all that
( tlrao did not boo a' mosquito. They
liavo grasscuttors who go around
' ovory day, and grass is not permitted
'to grow within 100 foot of a houso.
Tho entlro Cnnal Zono Is as clean as
any army camp, mado so by Colonol

CANADA IS
IN GRASP OF
CTOPUS
CANADIAN PACIFIC WAS GIVEN
MONEY TO BUILD ITS ROAD,
PROTECTED FROM COMPETI
TION AND GIVEN LANDS TWICE
VALUE OF ITS ROAD.
According to Tho Sun, of Toronto,
America, tho home of the trusts, has
a keen competitor for that doubtful
honor In Canada, and It cites the
Canadian Pac'fic Railway as tho
Canadian money trust.
This railway bad an original length
of 2,050 miles, with an estimated
first cost of $91,500,000. To this
building cost tho public contributed
as follows: (1) Completed railway,
135,000,000; (2) cash, $25,000,000;
(3) land, 25,000,000 acres, selected
In the Northwest; (4) rails and other
supplies Imported free of duty; (5)
exemption from taxation on Its land
grant, not, less than twenty years,
and perpetual exemption as to road
bed and equipment; (6) monopoly
of trade. Tho government binding
Itself not to allow tho building of
competing lines routhward to tho
border.
Here is $70,000,000 actual cash,
and an unknown Bide value. Up to
Juno 30, 1909, the land sales had
aggregated $63,730,788 net, and
thore wore still remaining 8,437,594
acres In tho prairie provinces, and
4,403,505 acres in British Columbia.
At tho prlco of last year's land sales
these lands, exclusive of tho British
Columbia group, have a valuation
of $190,000,000, or twice the cost of
tho original road. The government,
In order to cancel that last clause
which restricted competition, went
security for a $30,000,000 loan co
tho company, and, furthermore, to
uso the exact statement by Tho Sun:
"As a matter of fact, not only did
Canada make these enormous dona
tions, which seem to have been all
swallowed up by somo Intermediate
absorbing agency, but it had from
tlmo to tline'to furnish tho ready
cash or tho credit necessary to carry
on tho construction of tho railway."
It further appears fiom n state
ment of Hon. Edward Blake, mado
In 1885, thnt
"They raised by tho now finance
on stock $24,500,000, nnd have do
voted to dividends $21,000,000, mak
ing $3,500,000 to go on with tho
work, nnd $21,000,000 to go into
tholr own pockets. If you Include
tho Soptember (1885) and February
(1880) oxtra dividends thoro will
havo been i aid and provided for divi
dends $24,85,000, or n sum equal
to tho whole amount realized from
tho salo of tho company's stock. Tho
sharoholdors will havo paid $24,500,
000 for their stock, and there will
havo boon paid nnd provided for
dividends to them $24 500,000. The
not result of tho transaction has
been to invest money with ono hand
for tho purposo of taking it out with
tho other. In substanco, tho pro
ceeds of tho stock havo been divldol
among tho stockholders. Wo, (tho
govornmont) aro to ralso tho money
to build tho road, and tho country
is to pay tolls for all tlmo in order
to pay dividends upon stock so pro
vided. All this Is to bo dono because
tho stockholders in this entorpriso,
having realized from $05,000,000 of
stock $24,500,000, havo choaon to
nppropriato $24,500,000 to pay
dividends upon tholr stock."
Forty-four stockholders nro named,
nmong whom tho American rondor
will readily recognize those of W. C.
Van Homo, Lord Mount Stophon,
Lord Strnthcona and J. J. Hill, whoso
shares in total nggrogato a faeo
vnluo of $19,907,700, for which was
paid $4,9S1,440, nnd on which tho
aggregate dividends within tho five
years ondlng In 1S84, according to
tho rocords on file at Ottawa, woro
$5,870,130. Those shares, original
ly bought at $36 per $100 share, are
now worth $190, and on a fneo
valuation of $30,000,000 the Cana
dian fnrmors aro paying dlvldonds
of botwoan six and seven per cont

TI1E MAIL-TRIBUNE OF MEDFORD
GIVES ASHLAND THE FOLLOW
ING THOROUGHLY COOKED
ROAST LAST SUNDAY.
The peaceful city of Ashland Is
excited that is, as nearly excited
as Sleepy Hollow can become. The
community Is rent in twain fo'r a
momentous question is to be decided
and upon it depends tho destiny of
Ashland. Tho dove of peace hU3
flown, or paid Its fare on the van
ishing trolley.
It Is but a few short days sinei
Ashland served notice to the world
that outside capital was not wanted
within its peaceful portals and that
its restful quiet was not to be dis
turbed by electric roads. Following
camo the proposition to bar the
swift-moving, noisy auto from tho
sacred solitudes of the park.
Now a new problem has arizen to
disturb tho tranquil alumber, or an
old problem in a new form1 tho an
cient question of "to drink or not to
drink." Ashland long since decided
that humanity, no matter how hot
tho day, had no right to drink. Now
the baffling puzzle of tho hour is,
"Shall animals be allowed to assuage
thirst?"
In brief. tho question now disturb
ing Ashla"d's beauty sleep, Is wheth
er or not an ornamental fountain
shall be placed at tho'entrance of the
park. Various civic organizations,
aroused by this uncalled for intrus-
tion and threatened breach of the
peace, havo sounded tho alarm and
uttered violent protest to the city
council. They recommend instead,
that tho fountain be placed in the
cemetery, an appropriate sugges
tion.
Tho council, devlded against it
self, Is unable to decide a question
of such great import, and the matter
has been referred to tho Improve
ment clubs and business men for dis
cussion and a full expression of
opinion. In all probability a special
election will bo called to se'tjlo the
vexations problem.
To an outsider, It would seem
that tho suggestion to place the
fountain In the .cemetery Is an ex
cellent ono, an accommodation not
only to animals, but to Ashland'
human mossback population. By all
means, place all Ashland's civic Im
provements in tho cemetery it :s
entirely fitting. Medford Mall-Trl-buno.
