It seems impossible that at this late date his tory should have to be rewritten. Such Is the fact If we would have our history true. Not Marquette, Jolllet and LaSalle who dis covered the west, but two poor adventurers, who sacrificed all earthly possessions to the enthusiasm for discovery and Incurred such bitter hostility from the governments of France and England that, their names have been hounded to Infamy.

H AHOLD HAYES, Buffalo, X. V. Intertstinf Book 7S Milled Free CARPENTER'S PANAMA LETTERS Beginning with Sunday, March 12, The Bee will publish a series of up-to-date letters from Panama about the canal and isthmian matters from Frank G. Carpenter. Mr. Carpenter sailed from New York for Central America some weeks ago and he is now somewhere on the ten-mile strip of land belonging to Urcle Sam, through which the great canal is being cut. lie is well equipped as to photographers, letters of intro duction, etc., and he will spend enough time there to learn what the situation is and to describe it for our readers. Among the letters Mr. Carpenter will write will bo one describing the great canals of the globe and compar ing them with Panama. Ilis wide travels well fit him for this description, lie has within the past few years visited in person the Suez canal, the Manchester ship canal, the Krons'tadt canal, which forms the European entrance to the northern part of the empire of the czar, and also the big ditch that Kaiser Wilhelm dug to let his navy quickly out to the ocean from the Baltic. lie has also seen the other great canals of Europe, including those of Holland, and has traveled upon the Grand Canal of China, which, next to Panama, is one of the great works of the world. ' ' Another letter will discuss the big problems of the Panama canal, including the Culebra cut, the Bohio dam, showing the enormous work to be done, and tell through the mouths of the government engineers, how it may be accomplished. He will also take up such questions as "Labor at Panama," giving some idea of the number of men needed for the work, their wages, and whether Amer ican workmen can profitably be employed there. This letter may require a 'visit to the island of Jamaica, where so many thousand 'negfoes were secured by the French for their work. Our Ten-Mile Strip and how it is policed and gov erned will also be an interesting topic, and another will be the "Baby Republic of Panama" and how it is gov erned, including a chat withits president upon its re sources and possibilities. The health conditions will also be described, and in fact everything connected with Panama and the canal, from the standpoint of live American interest. After leaving Panama Mr. Carpenter will probably go to Jamaica, and thence to Cuba, where he will de-' scribe that Island and its industries as they are in 1905.
