cities in the world. Panama will be
severed, graded and provided with
water works by the government of the
United States. Every improvement
that sanitary science can suggest and
money can accomplish will make it as
healthful as San Francisco or New

the vast sum necessary to con-
struct the canal will create great
opportunities for human ambition and
every field of effort. Forests will be
hewed, fields will be planted, mines

 Stewart is Canadian, while the other three are North Carolinians, all making their homes nere.
 Stewart was taking an engine and ten- der to Hamlet, south. He passed north bound freight at vass and evidently for got another freight behind that. At NJ agara he shot his engine up grade around a curve. At the same time the freight in charge of Engineer Wall came flying down the grade around the curve.
