Just wit®' their motive we have failed to find, but it was no dotibt a worthy one.

THE NEW CANAL (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) rate of transportation by water than overland by railway. By sending by railway to New York, and then takin*. the ship, with its lower water rates, down through the Panama canal, then to San Francisco and other western cities, will mean a much lower rate than shipment by rail from here overland to San Francisco, although the distance is at least one-half less overland. The Mississippi river shipment to the gulf and through the new canal also opens up a more direct water transportation. Before the building of the canal, ship transportation around the extreme point of South America, competed with overland rail shipment, providing the same rates. The cut ting off of the long distance by the canal will of course make the water rates even lower. The Waring Glove company has made several shipments to San Fran cisco byway of the east and the Panama! canal and more will be made.
