Albuquerque Journal.

Albuquerque Journal.
Maynard Gunsul of Albuquerque
has just returned from a month in
Roswell. He returns with a story of
advancement in the Pecos Valley
that is interesting in the extreme,
showing as it Ices what American
pluck-and water-will accomplish
in the great Southwest. Mr.. Gunsul
while in Roswell has purchased the
plant of the Roswell Electric Light
and Power Company. He and his as
sociates have secured a thirty year
electric light and power franchise
from the city, along with a ten year
street lighting contract as well as a
lighting contract and franchise from
Chaves county. The plant has been
taken over. 1t will be improved and
its lines extended to meet all the
requirements of the rapidly growing
city. Mr.. Gunsul thinks the plant
one Of the best properties in New
Mexico, owing to conditions existing
in Roswell and the promise given by
the town and its surrounding terri
tory for future advancement.
Roswell has about six thousand
people now" said Mr.. Gunsul yester-
day, .Sand- aside from Albuquerque, it
is the best town in New Mexico. In
improvements, business and the pub

streams of water five or six feet

ment Of Market.

Paris. May 3.-Having wound up the
details Of the big financial transaction
connected with the Panama transfer
J. Pierpont Morgan left Paris, Tues
day, for Aix-Les- Baines. Before his de-
parture he gave the correspondent of
the Associated Press the main points
of the final agreement as follows:
THE Panama Canal Co. wished to
instead of in the United States and
was willing to pay all the expenses in
cident to the payment here. In order to
accomplish this the United States has
appointed the Morgan company fiscal
agents for the purpose Of payment. the
Morgan company in turn to make the
contract with the Panama company
whereby the $40,000,00O will be paid in
Paris.
The contract specifies the Eanque De
France as depository and also the pro.
portion OF the payments going to the
old and the new Panama companies
respectively. The signing of this con-
tract closes the transaction, it only re-
manning for the Morgan company to
carry 1t out by making payments from
time to time to the Banque De France.
This will be done so as to cause no dis
arrangement of the American or
French money markets. The report that
Il syndicate of Paris bankers is inter-
ested is incorrect. The appointment of
the Morgan company as fiscal agents
places the whole transaction in their
hands. They will associate with Lazard
Freres and other houses of similar
character in New York and here but
so far as the United States is concerned
1t entrusts the financing operations to
the Morgans. The other details CORE

Professor Cameron is a Princeton
alumnus, having been graduated with
the class Of SO. and is especially loyal
to the university and enthusiastic. His
father, DR.. Henry Clay Cameron, pro-
fessor emeritus of the Greek language
and literature. had the distinction at
the time Of his resignation, two years
ago, from his active duties as profess
sor. OF being the oldest living member
of the faculty in point OF service. ~.
After his graduation, Professor A. G..
Cameron spent considerable time in
travel and study abroad. On his re-
turn from Europe he received the pro-
fessorship of the French and German
languages and literatures at Miami
University. Ohio. where he remained
for several years, resigning in 1891 to
take charge of the department of
French instruction at the Sheffield
Scientific School, Yale. Professor
Cameron remained at Yale until 1897.
when he accepted a call to the John c.
Green School of Science at Princeton,
and three years later was transferred
to the academic department and made
Woodruff professor of French, and his
courses thrown open to the whole uni
versity. AS a lecturer he is exception
ally entertaining. He is a brilliant
eXtemporaneous speaker. never using
notes in the classroom, and has excep-
tional gifts as story teller. The cleo
ton Of Professor Cameron as the most
popular member of the faculty is Of
especial honor from the fact that he
comes in contact with only small part
Of the senior class. His popularity Is
not due in any degree to "easiness',
with the students, as he invariably
holds them to their work strictly. 1t Is
the personality that is behind whatever
he says and does that has won for him
their admiration. He has never failed
to receive a hearty locomotive" cheer
at the end of terms work ...,..
At Yale Professor cameron received
from Yale students the same honor;
that has just been given here, and got
it each of the six years he spent at
New Haven. ,nf
One of the first acts on the program
of certain classes at reunions at New
Haven is to send a telegram of greet
ing to Professor Cameron. Professor
Cameron is a frequent lecturer outside
CT Princeton, and has edited large
number of textbooks on the French
language and its literature.

PANAMA SANITATION.
American Experts Confident Of Making
lsthmus Habitabie.

Washington, May 3.-The sanitary
officers attached to the Panama Canal
commission are confronted with the
greatest problem which has ever en-
gagged the attention Of such experts.
Colonel A. G. Gorgas and Major L. A.
Lagarde of the army, and Medical In
spector j. w. Ross, of the navy. who
will be employed on this work in Pana-
ma. are preparing plans for their task
and estimating the cost. They went
over the ground during their months
stay on the isthmus and accumulated
a large amount of information.
They found the field practically new
nothing practicable in the way of san
ltation has ever been attempted on the
isthr'us. Nowhere were there the COM
monest facilities for the preservation Of
health. Even the 'palaces'5 where the
members of the commission stayed
were devoid of the ordinary accommo-
dations of an American household. In
all teh isthmus the doctors found only
one bathroom.
So far as the quarters for employees
along the route of the canal were con-
cerned. really nothing worthy Of con-
sideration had ever been attempted
for the preservation of health. 1t will
consequently be virgin field for the
experts. and they have begun their
work on the preliminary plans with
Zest. They expect to accomplish o.
great deal. and are anxious to make a
comparison of vital statistics under the
new order of things and under that
which prevailed in the old days. t.r
The first step will be the provision
Of water supply system, not only for
Colon and Panama, but for the people
who live along the canal route. At
present. water is brought in barrels,
and every receptacle is the breeding
place of mosquitoes, until the strip of
land Is infested with insects which are
not only a pest but a positive menace,
to human life. S=t
The next step will be the provision
OF sewerage system, of which, even
in the two towns, there is not q trace.
1t has been found necessary to rails.
Colon four feet to provide the neces-
sary 10 raise Colon four feet to provide
