From their Investigations Messrs. Cooleyand Cragin hava coma to tiia followingconclusions:
"The Nicaragua canal on the line® of thegeneral plans of the Warner Milkr Mari-time Comjjany, is entirely feasible.
"Tha difficulties have been over-estkr.at-ed.
"There no reaaon why contractors jo

"Finally, the harbors* of Greytown on theAtlantic side, and Brito, on the Pacificartde, preeent no difficult engineering prob-lems that canno: be solved at a reason-able cost."
Mr. Cooky's remarks about the engin-

tho United States commission, which wad

Gls and 617 First Avenue, Seattle, Wash.?Dear Sirs: In return for the kind treatment received at your
hands while being outfitted for our trip to Alaska, we feel it ourduty to tender you this as a testimonial of our appreciation, which,ifyou deem best, you may publish, both for the benefit of strangersoutfitting in your city and for your own benefit, which you so justlydeserve. Notwithstanding that we bought a great many goods inNew 1 ork City, we were compelled, after our arrival here, to pur-chase fully as much more to complete our outfit. Your prices werefully as reasonable, and in many instances even lower than thosequoted in the East, and the quality of your outfitting goods super-ior for the purpose, while your stock is positively the most com-plete we have seen. We fully realize the difficulty in outfittingthirty men, which comprises the number of the Schooner Moon-light's expedition, and consequently appreciate your ability as thor-ough Outfitters, and commend highly the manner in which you sosuccessfully handled so large a body of men. If published, wehope this testimonial will be of the benefit you so justly deserve.

015 First Avenue, Seattle?Dear Sirs: Through the kindness of some of the members of
the Schooner Moonlight Expedition, we were favored with a copy ofthe original Testimonial Letter tendered you by them.
Being on friendly terms with a number of the members of thatExpedition, we were fully convinced that this Testimonial was sin-cere and truthful.
This at once decided us to do no outfitting for our Alaska trip un-til we reached Seattle. That this was awise and profitable decisionon our part, we most cheerfully acknowledge. Our dealings withyour house wili be one of the pleasant memories we shall carrvwith us. Notwithstanding the fact that your house was highly rec-ommended by the Moonlight Expedition, we nevertheless figuredwith a number of houses for our outfits, and we now frankly admitthat the prices you quoted were by far the lowest for the best gradesof goods. Trusting that our friends in the East who are contem-plating a trip to the Gold Fields will profit by our experience withyour house, we are sincerely yours,
