THROUGH M STUTE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS INDIANA POINTS. 50 MILE CANAL PLANNED

Chicago. New York and Pittsburg Capitalists Begin Operations for Water Way System in Calu met District. Indiana Harbor Knuineers representing h combination of Chicago. New York. Pittsburn and lndlanapolis capitalist are completing plans here for an extended system of canals The system proposed Is to extend from Indiana Harbor to a point between (!ar and Michigan (Sty, The flrt surveys provide for water way 5t miles long, to cost $10,O'JO.OfH). The system is held necossary as an aid to development of the steel and iron industries to center in the Calumet region. The. (anal system projected is to extend from ljike Michigan's shore foi eisht miles, with a main channel 210 feet wide extending in a southerly loop 26 miles long. The main channel will be 250 feet wide, with lateral canals 200 feet in width. The .-y?:em i to have a uniform depth o! 24 feet. Turning basins 80Ü feet in diameter, similar to that nearing completion in the Indiana Harbor snip canal, will be dug at Intervals of two miles all through the system. It is estimated it will take ten years to complete the water ways laid out. The hrst plans for the water ways, which awnit approval of the men behind the project and of the government's engineers in Chlcaeo, show roctes touching Indiana Harbor, Kast Chicago. Hammond and Gary. As a basis for the new water ways It is proposed to utilize two canai projects which are already under way These are the Indiana Harbor ship canal and the canals of the I nited States Steel corporation at Gary The Indiana Harbor canal. 200 feet wide, already connects Indiana Harbor and Kast Chicago, two mile3 inland. It is 200 feet wide and feet deep and will float the higte.si ves.-es on the likes. Three hydraulic dredges of large capacity are working in the district The Cadttmel nver. which runs slug gishly h: several miles along the route of the main channel of the proposed canal - sr -m. i to be made serye the demands of commerce by being deepened. straightened and lined with wharves The Indiana Harbor water way. with the pier extending Into I.ake Michigan to protect tts entrance, has already cost $750.000. and there remains $500.000 to spend on it before it reaches Hammond The Steel corporation is spending $1.000.000 on water ways at flary, building breakwaters and piers to give ready access to ore and coal boats That the extensive inner water ways will be necessary became apparent, according to the chief en Kineers at Gary, almost as soon as the Gary town site was laid out. Steel and iron manufacturing companies are rushing Into the district from all over the country that they may be

near jierfect water and rail transportation and the source of steel suppiy In the future. The American Hrfdge company is going to build a plant of which one building will be more than 4,000 feet long. Considerable secrecy has been thtown around the operations of the engineering corps. These worked for four months under direction of H. D. Richards, of New York, general field engineer for a number nt eastern rail ways. Mi Richards siiervised prep aratlon of the preliminary plans and drawings for the canal system.

THE PROPER BASIS FOR MAKING REASONABLE RATES. inflated Stocks and Bonds No True Measure of Value Public Opin ion Will Force Congress.

Tlere would seem to be a fair pros pect that all the Interstate railroads of the country will be valued as a basis for settling vhat are reasonable rates for freight and passengers. The lienate would like to defeat such an appraisement, and is taking its usual underground way through procrastination. The committee on Interstate 2omnu rce has asked the interstate commerce commission whether it would be practical for it. in addition to Its regular work, to make such a valuation of railroad property as is provided for In the Da Follette MIL The Republican majority of the committee has been holding p the bill for two months with the intention of laying it on tbx shelf, and this last move will defeat the hill for this session. Hut the Republican majority of the senate will be forced to pass this necessary provision for arriving at facts before real railroad reform can be accomplished and public opinion will he more powerful with these politicians than their friendship for the corporations. So this legislation may be looked for before long The constant increase in the capitalization of corporations is a crying evil and cannot be stopped effectually until there Is a sound basis for knowing Whether further Increase is justified and necessary. To arrive at the real value of the railroad property of the country is a ditflcult task and will rrquire some definite rule for determining values. The total capitalization of the railroads and their lionded debt Is no fair measure of value, nor would the market value of such stocks and bonds be accepted. It is generally believed that the cost of replacement would be the fairest valuation that could be made, but there are objections to that apparently fair basis for ;i'iation on ace. Hint of the amount of capital that has been invested in time past and that has been depreciated or perhaps entirely destroyed. Boric railroads are worth mere than they cost and others may not be worth the actual money that has been invested, valued by what they can earn. The ea-ning capacity of a railroad depends upon volume of business and the rates charged, and If rate are to be determined by value of property, value of property can hardly be determined by tho earning capacity that depends upon rates. It Is a puzzling problem and much more intricate than the valuation of real estate and Improvements thereon and will require patience and good judgment to arrive at a just conclusion. The railroads have been such public plunderers and have ao arrayed honest people against them, that it will be very difficult to do them exaet Justice. They are now asking the public to forget and forgive all their past corruption and extortion and de elare they have turned over a new leaf, but the actions of such railroad magnates as Harriman are still a public menace. In a great measure the railroads have th ir future In their own hands If they are honestly conducted and the Inside grafting is abolished, they will be helping their own future as much as the public Interests, but if they persi::t in 'the public be damned" state of mind they will exasperate public opinion and suffer accordingly. The whole question resolves Itself into, whether the railroads are to run the government, or whether the pee pie shall run the railroads for their own protection, and the answer Is as plain as the noso on a man's face.

An Historical Parallel. The New York World pretend to have reliable information that Thomas Fortune Ryan of Virginia Is in the field as a candidate for the presidency. The grounds upon which this Information is based are not exposed, but It is Incidentally mentioned that, among other elements of h?s strength. Is the strong Catholic following he would undoubtedly command. Thij is :i vtry slender reed and has never before been pleaded in behalf of an candidate, exce-it in the memorable instance of Chief Justice Roger Urooks Taney, In whose case it proved fatal. Any student of our politics knows that religion is a thing quite apart from party allegiance, and that any pretension of privilege depending upon church influence must inevitably arouse wide resentment Considered f.-ora this point. ul view, the announce ment In the World may be regarded as an attack on Kyan's availability, although his church connections are not quoted against him. nor Is It clear from anything revealed In the World's exposuro that he is In fact a candidate. If he is In truth a candidate, some more substantial grounds than those given by the World must be found for him to stand upon. The history of the efforts of the friends and admirers of t'hlef Justice Hoger I books Taney in the name field of endeavor In which the World uow says Mr. Ryan Is active. It comnended to the enthusiastic friends ol 'he ambitious Virginian A Prophecy. Hen J. Ham. Iewis says the Democratic nominee for president will he some cue whose name Is nt now considered seriously. That may be 60 ror It's over a year before the nominating convention wilt meet and dark horses bine often proved victorious.

Memento for President Diaz. With a simple but Impressive cere mony President Dias was presented with the military painting portraying tho action of his command in the hattie of i'uebls against the French !orces tn the war of the invasion. The talutlng, which was the work of the artist Francisco do V Mendoza. a professor In the national school of tine arta and of the military college, was executed at the request of the governors of 12 Mexican states, and was presented as a personal gift to tho chief magistrate. The painting represents Gen Diax In action in tho glorious buttle which won fame for the Mexican forces, and at the moment when tho forces under the direct ouimand of lion. Diaz saved the day.

Cheapens and Improves Coal. Consul (leneral W. R. Holloway. of Halifax. Bays that the Canadian commercial agent at Manchester, Kngland, reports an Invention at that plac for depriving soft coal of Its most objectionable feature by abstracting the oils said to produce smoke, and calling the resulting article 'coalite," which Is something like coke In appearance and which can be furnished at ouv-thlrd the present cost of coal. Five acres of land near Manchester have been purchased, and large works will be erected for its production. United States Consul Reports. Our Queer Sense of Humor. "Americans bave a strange sense of humor, don't you know." began the Knelishman. ' The othah day, for example. I went Into a restaurant with a friend and he awsked for slukahs.

The Business Instinct. A party of tourists were visiting the ancient landmarks of Kngland, according to a writer In the New Orleanr Times Democrat, and their guide was supplying them with valuable historic facts. "This tower," he remarked, "goes back to William the Conqueror." Why. what's the matter?" inquired one of his listeners. "Isn't it satisfactory?"

Laundry work at home would b much more satisfactory if the right

Starch were used. In order to get the , desired stiffness, it is usually neees sury to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys tl.e appearauce, but also affects the wear Ing quality of the goods.- This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it ran be Ippltei much more thinly because of Its great, er strength than other makes.
