nieiu and prosperity; and with the ex.
cent ion of last year I have alw ays
been an active member of her Cham-
ber of Commerce tiinco I became a
resident of the city. My failure to do
ho last year was due to the fact that
1 was not present in the city at any
time when the matter of membership
was being looked after and I neglect-
ed to write for membership as I have
done the former years since my re-
moval to Guthrie. Therefore while
none the less appreciating the action
of your board of directors if ou
will write m-j the present requirements
of becoming an active member of your
body wi'h a atatement of the neces-
sary dues 1 shall be pleased to for-
ward my application and to contribute
my efforts in the development of the

DIG DITCH TO
BE COMPLETE
OCTOBER 1912
Washington D. C Feb. 10. Col.
George W. Goethals chief engineer of
the Panama canal said today the ca-
nal would be completed by Septem-
ber 1 1912 at a cost of ? ;i60oi)o.niio.
This Is two years ahead of all ear-
lier estimates for completion of the
canal and fully $r.0i)tM''0i0 less than
many engineers have figured as the
total cost.
Because of the early completion of
the canal Colonel Goethals urged the
house committee or. commerce to pre-
pare legislation under which can be
fixed shJVping tolls for passage of
vessls through the waterway.
Colonel Goethals could not say what
would be a fair charge but thought
$1 per net ton a vessel would be a
heavy tax on vessels using the canal
but would give tho trans-continenial
railroads competition on freight from
New York to San Francisco.
It is essential. Colonel Goethals
holds that the government control
the coal supply si at ions so as to pre-
vent private interests by monopoliza-
tion of this supply directly to con-
trol tho operation of the canal through
their rates for fuel.
Negotiations are already under way
by certain coal companies ho said
to secure the coal lands.
