opiinonu tixpivsat-d as to how
thi' gi t-at buriii'r to inter-oreanic
navigariufi, .interposed' by tli«
;vuifiiran Isliinius, could be
overcomo. From these it ap-
pfiw? that tlio niost• ficonomic
Bolution ol' this j(|ieat question
by menus of a canal would, in-
volve the expenditure of at least
$1-10,000,000. and posflibly much
more, and that the execution of
the work will occupy from lif-
te.e to twenty live years ftpm
the time the work is commenced.
In view of the facta Capt.
Eads, the 'eminent ongineer vvho
constructed the jetties at the
mouth of tho -Mississippi, has
written a letter, to the Blow York
Tribune, whick appeared last
Saturday, and in which he pro-
poses to substitute for tUeCou-
tjf'mplated ship canal at -Pana-

Tlus subject is so lull of in-
terest that wo have no apology
to make for pu'blishing tne fOi
lowing from Oapti Eads' letter:
••On,such a railway across the
Jsthmuli tliere need be ^io grades
steeper (ban - tbdseiou our
cliiefriuies of railroads, and the
load, bed need not be over forty
teet wide, n >r have, more than
eignt or teii rail's laid upon it
to ausumi the car or cradle upon
which this ship is placed. The
vessel should,be lilted from the
sea to the level of tne road by
a lock or by oiher well known
hydrdqli" devices/' aud placed
upon a car or cradle of ample
streugth to,sustain t^e vessel
and her cargo , without the pos-
sibility ol injury. The, lock
should be twice the length of
the ship, and «>nly one half of its
length should be deep enough to
receive the; ship from the Sea.
"The bottom of the other half
of the lock should b« at the -sea
level, aiid on this the railway
should commence. Into ,this
upper part of the lock tlie era
die to cariy the ship sliould :'be
rjlll. end the gates at the laud
end should then be closed, -ihe
ship, should then be floated into
the deep end of the lock and
the sea gates olosed, after which
water should be admitted to fill
the iooktoijheight'suSiclent to
float the ship on the oar in the
upper lift,'after whioh the water
suoiild' be drawn off and.the
gates of the land end opened,
and t hi bar and burden be then
started on its journey by rail.
At the other end of the road the
car should be run into a similar
look, the gates closed over the
track,1 and those at the sea end
of the look closed also. This
beint; done the lock would be
ready f<jj; {illinft, after which the
ship .could be floated off the car,
ana moved to the deep end of
the lock. The water would then
Ibt? allowed to escape from tho
lock, ttje ship lowered to the I
oceac level, the sea gates open-,
ed, an I the vessel would be then
ready to resume , her voyage in
tlm other sea."—Commercial

The ECHO is a good inediuua of connuaaloation bt t«fe«^t^e
business men of Port Griffin and Albany (the Capital pfi.thi*
county) and the people who buy thoir wares; %lso"between tho
traders of Port VVorth, Denison, Dallas, Weatherford and other
cities enjoying a wholesale and shipping trade with dealers aud
consumers of North-west Texas. Therefore, it is to thg advantage
of Merchants to ADVERTISE IN THE ECHO.
Because—It is published }n tho heart of a large and splendid
grazing eoun try. 1 \
Because—It is read by the stock raiser and the cowboy.
•Because—It is read by the merchants and business meu.
Because- It is read by the farmer and peoplo generally w)>o
want to buy just the goods you have for sale.
Because,—It is not owned or controlled by any sect or party
and labors to .dvance the interests of the oouuty in wtych il is
published, of its patrons aud—its proprietor.
Because—Its rares of advertising are a# low as any Froctiu
paper can make them and live, unless subsidized.
