C. TUESDAY, FEB. II, 1902. NO. 83 •§' m?r n TOO MUCH HAIR. Wabash, Ind., Feb, io.—Andrew Teeter, a barber at Akron, 20 miles northwest of this city, is at deaths' door from a peculiar cause, tie has followed his trade for years, and some time sgo his lungs became affected. A specialist brought from Wisconsin made an examination and found the patients' throat and bronchial tubes full of short hairs imbedded in the membrane. It is thought the hairs were inhaled while Teeter clipped hair, and the irritation brought on tuberculosis. His death is a matter of only a few days. MR. WU EXPLAINS. , Washington Feb. 10 —The Chinese minister, Mr. Wu, made the following statement tod y, intending to correct ! what he regai Is as a misrepresenta- ' tion of the United States iu regard to the Chinese exclusion act. The minister said: '"There seems to be j some misunderstanding with regard to tbe letter I wrote to the state department concerning the Chinese exclusion act. now before congress, I am told that tbe impression prevails that I antagonize tbe laboring men of this country. That is not true. I rev er said anything to cast the slightest reflection upon the laboring men of j America, who are uselul members of I a community. Why even in Chiaa, according to our classification of pro* fessione, the working man ranks higher than the merchant and tradesman. This shows how China appreciates him, and nothing was farther from my thoughts than to say anything which could be construed as reflecting upon this class." A TITLE HUNTER.

We Can Do Your Job Printing, The Job Department of The Evening Sun is now prepared to turn out printing in style and quality equal to the best. Give us a trial as we are sure we can suit you. Tbe current issue of the B. C. Gazette contains the new regulations regarding stationary engineers. From them it will be seen that some men will lose their jobs. Many good engineers in a practical sense who have continued their vocation for years with satisfaction both to the employers and men, have little or no knowledge of arithmetic, euclid and algebra. It is claimed that to ask these men who are now up in years, to pass an examination ou these subjects or have their positions taken away is a hardship, and they will have a good deal of public spmpathy. The physical force party being- in power in Ireland, fears are entertained that a rebellion may break out at any moment VI H The Place to Get Up- to-Date Stationery and the Latest News We have one of the best CIRCULATING LIBRARIES in B.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY n, 1902 The business office of The Evening Sun is located at present iu Columbia, where all correspondence with it, and exchanges should be addressed. THE ISTHMIAN CANAL One by one the months of the new century record some mighty step in the world's progress, which all tend in the same direction, namely, to bring the world nearer together and make an international world-life possible. In the upper branch of the United States congress is being considered the most stupendous piece of engineering work ever undertaken by man. This is no less a project than an inter- •ceanic ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama. To accomplish this two routes are available-the Nicaragua route and the purcnase and completion of the Pai.ama. A brief comparison of ths two routes will demonstrate the superiority of Ihe latter. Total length—Panama, 49 miles ; Nicaragua, 1S6.50 miles. Length and sharpness of curvature— Panama, total lehPth 22.85 miles, total number of decrees 771; Nicaragua, total lengtli 49 29 miles, total number of degrees 2339. Summit level—Panama, 90 feet; Nicaragua, no feet. Time of tiansit—Panama, 11 hours 14 minutes; Nicaragua, 13 hours. Cost—Panama, $184,233,359, Nicaragua. $189,864,062. Tbe time lor the completion of either canal would be practically the same — about ten years. Nicaragua involves the construction and operation uf 1 ight widely separated locks, whereas at Panani.i there are but two levels and two sets of lo_ks. The cost of constructing the Nicaragua canal, now that the Panama company has offered tu sell its property for £40,000,01 o, would be 85,630,- 700 greater, coupled with the fact that a canal at Nicaragua would cost 81,- 300,000 every year to maintain and operate. The risks of operating are considerably leas at Panama, lor the reason thai vessels will spend far less time within what might be called the ''danger 7.011 '"—that portion of the canal which is above tide level. I he total cost ol completing the Panama canal is estimated at 8144,- 233,358, while tho total cost of building Nicaragua will be $189,864,062. The Panama Canal company, however, has offered to sell all its properties at the price named by the commission, $40,000,000, thus making the cost of the completed Panama canal $184,233,358. This renders it cheaper by $5,630,604. The commission say it will cast $1,300,000 more every year to iHiiiit.iin a il perate Nicaragua than it wl 1 Panama This inn, capitalized at 4 percent anil added lo t.'.e cost of constructing Nicaragua, makes the Panama canal, considered as a I financial proposition, over $38,000,000 cheaper in the long run than the Nicaragua canal, i Although the Hepburn canal bill, providing lor the Nicaragua route, has been passed by the hous- of representatives by a practically unanimous vote, it is significant that an amendment authorizing the president to negotiate lor the Panama as well as the Nicaragua route was lost by 102 votes to 107. This result would indicate that if the senate should send the bill back to the house, amended so as to previde (or tbe building of the canal on the Panama route, the house would accept the revision. The Pacific coast would derive the greatest benefit from the construction of the canal, in the shape of greatly reduced freight rates. On imperishable goods from Atlantic ports the rate should be reduced by one-halt at least. The dangernns voyage around Cape Horn, with its innumerable wrecks and great loss of life, would also be a thing of past history. But who can estimate the far-reaching influence of this last gigantic undertaking? GRAND FORKS CUT COUNCIL The city council of Grand Forks met in regular session las* night with Aid. Harvey in the chair, Mayor Holland being out of the city. The city being short ol ready cash a money by.aw authorizing the city to borrow 86,000 passed .ts thirJ read ing.

Situation, Environments and General Resources. The City of Columbia is situated near the junction of the North Forks of the Kettle river with the main Kettle river, and is distant about 300 miles east of Vnneouver. The natural situation of the city for beauty Is not excelled In Amerien. A verdure-clad and flower-bespangled rolling prairie, traversed by a river of bright, sparkling wnier, fringed with forest trees and surrounded by mountains, forming a charming combination of pictiiresquesness and grandeur The Columbia & Western railway, which was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, has its station, freight warehouse and yards in the center of Columbia, and the Vancouver, Victora & Eastern Railway company, has located its depot, freight sheds aud yards along the east line of the corporation, thus giving the city connections with two transcontinental tines. The Canadian Pacifie railway oom- pany has large interests in the city, having selected, the site on account of the superior natural advantages ni a railway centre, The climate, taken all the year around,Us the best iu Caiiadn—part of the summer is rather hot and dry, but the rest of the year is enjoyable. Throughout the Kettle River valley there is an extent -if fertile agricultural land, part of which is now being cultivated.J Apples, plums, peirs, prunes, cherries and all the small fruits grow abundantly. The valley surrounding Columbia, divided into small fruit and vegetable farms, will sustain a large population. Building material Is plentiful In the district. Lumber can be procured at fair prices, and briok lime and stone of good quality can always he obtained when required. The mining interests are of the first Importance to this country, and will do muoh to build up Columbia. Large mineral lodes have been discovered through the mountains adjacent, to the city, and what were mere prospects a short time since are now large paying mines. Water is supplied the city by pumping from a beautiful spring of excep tional purity, capable of supplying a city of 50,000 inhabitants. The Granby smelter and converter —the most modern and perfect plant of the kind In America—employing hundreds of men, is contiguous to the city, Owing to the line climate, the central situation, the beantible environments, the bright prospects for future growth and prosperity, Columbia will be an educational centre, a city of homes, as well as a wholesale distributing point; and when finally nllied and wedded to her sister sister, will be the best and largest city in the interior.
