Save your eyes by consulting Dr. N Roser stein,the Eye specialist of Durham, next Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct., the 24 and 25 in Oxford at the Ex change Hotel OPEN CANAL IN 1013- First Ship to Pass Through July of That Year. Bellinham, Wash. President Taft predicted here today that the Pan ama canal would be ready for use on July 1, 1913. '"The canal." he said, "is the greatest constructive J work since the Christian era." The President also declared that Canada was going to be sorry that she had not adopted the reciprocity treaty. Speaking of the opening of the Panama canal the President said he would let the people of Bellingham "into a little official confidence." "If nothing untoward happens he said "you can count on the com pletion of the canal not later than the first of July, 1913, It has only been promised on the first of Jan uary, 1915, and if it is not ready until then, you musinot say; that anybody made a promise that it would be completed before. I am exressing a hope based on a cal culation, but of course, man propos es and God disposes. It Is possible that something will happen down there in the way of slides or delays that may continue until the first o January, 1915. But I don't want you to have any unpleasant sur prise. I don't want you to have heart disease if you learn that the first ship goes through on the first of July, 1913, "There is one topic that I had intended to discuss with you," said the president, "but our neighbors a cross the border a week or more ago seemed to make it past history, But I think you will agree with me that in doing so they made a mis take. Had the treaty really gone through it would have been great ly beneficial to both countries. "Now I think we know a little more on this side than they do on theirs, because we are an older country. After some years of ex perience it is possible that they will come to take the proper view, but whether that be so or not, if they don't grow as rapidly as we do and as rapidly as they might have growi they cannot say it is our fault." Mr. Taft spent the day traveling south from Bellinham, Wash., a little more than 20 miles from the Canadian line to Seattle. He stopp ed at Burlinton, Mount Vernon and Everett, making brief speeches in each place. Though he spoke In the armory here. Large . crowds turned out to greet him. Buy! Buy!
