John f. Wallace, chief engineer OF
the Panama canal. is at present in
this country, arranging for the pur-
chase of machinery and supplies for
the construction work on the big
ditch. Mr.. Wallace has spent the
summer in the canal belt, where he
carefully went over the work that
was done by the French companies
and studied the conditions that ex-
list. He has outlined his plans of
operation and in a public statement
which he has given out since his re-
turn. Mr.. Wallace expresses the be-
lief that it will be possible to begin
the construction work in 1906. Mr..
Wallace says:
During my three months stay in
Panama | completely covered the en-
tire strip, which is about 10 miles
wide and AZ miles long, at least 20
times, making thorough observations.

ly surveying the canal route with a
view of determining at what level
the canal is to be cut and the exact
line it will follow will consume all
the time until the end of 1905. BY

campaign entirely mapped out and
the actual digging Of the canal in
actual progress. Then IL will take
eignt years to complete the work.
The line alrad |. marked out BY
the French company will be followed
pretty closely except that wherever
possible curves will be Strengthened.
The line of the canal will be for
about % miles along the Chagres riv-
er, then along n of the branches of
the Chagres. passing through the cut
among the hills known as the Guile
bra cut, about ten miles from Pana-
ma. and thence on by the Rio Grande
to Panama bay.

to the s40,O 00, 900 paid to the French
company for the canal property and

ward the United States. although
some of the thrifty s~hopkeepers and
dispensers of high living seemed to
be a little put out when they found
that the Americans were not as free
spenders as the French had been.
The English language is fast becom.

canal zone, although in the hotels and
on the plazas German, French and
Spanish are heard also.
MANY OF the natives OF Panama
OF the higher class are sending their
children to the United States to be
educated, and this is aiding in the
A~mericanizing OF the isthmus.'

as well as a few of the skilled, labor

The reason that Panama has had
a bad name in the popular mind Is
owing to the fact that until recently
the heterogeneous population has
paid but little attention to the or
binary laws of health. Under such
conditions IL was natural that those
who drank hard. we're not careful as
to food, did not boil or sterilize theii
drinking water and otherwise dlsre
garded the ordinary hygenic precau
tons, should find the country un
healthful.

An Qmlette Every Day.

Mr.. G. w. Zcok essayed to sell of
all his poultry stock, and thought he
had done so. but afterward one pullet
that had escaped the poultryman's s
axe turned up. Something over two
weeks ago Mr.. Zook found two eggs
one white and one brown. in the soil
tary nest in the barn. and every day
thereafter for ten days he did the
same. He had seen but one chicken
about the place, and it suddenly
dawned upon him that his pullet was
doing double duty in showing the SUI
periority Of the Missouri hen. So he
set about watching her. For three
weeks he noted her visits to the nest
and found one white and one brown
egg. He knew there were no eggs in
the nest before the hens visit. and
therefore concluded to a certainty that
for two weeks the hen had laid two
eggs a day.-Mait:and (Mo.) Herald.

Of New York to Victoria. In accordance
with the arrangements that have been
made, half Of the consignment will be
placed in Vancouver and taken care

will be distributed throughout the
