A FREE HAND
And Can Do As He PIeases In
Construction Work on
Panama Canal.
TWELVE THOUSAND MEN
Are Nsw at Work on the Vast Enter
prise.- Sanitary Conditions Not
so Bad As Reported.

| Oyster Bay, July 15.-Chairmal
Shonts and Chief Engineer Steven
remained with President Roosevelt
sometime after the departure of Min
lister Takahira yesterday. This wa
the first opportunity the President ha!
had to discuss matters relating to tht
canal with Mr.. Stevens and they wen
over the subject pretty thoroughly. A.
both Mr.. Shonts and Mr.. Stevens ex
poets to sail for Panama on the goth
the President desired to consult with
them before their departure.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Stevens will
be made, in the near future at least a
member of the canal commission, the
position occupied by his predecessor
Mr. Wallace. 1t can be said that Mr.
Stevens has been given a free hand
to do construction work. He has his
own ideas about the methods to be
pursued and will not be interfered with
in the work of his department. His
desire is to dig the canal, and to that
great undertaking he will devote all
his energies and ability, leaving the
executive and administrative details to
be worked out by Chairman Shonts,
Governor Magoon and the commission.
After the conference with the Presi.
dent Mr. Shonts talked frankly about
the work of the committee and about
canal conditions Our talk with
President Roosevelt" said he was of
general character about canal af-
fairs. The President desired to see
Mr. Stevens before we left for Pana-
ma, and to discuss with both of us
the progress of the work. Just now
we have about twelve thousand men at
work upon the canal. We must make
arrangements for the housing, feeding
and general care of our employees, in
itself a great task, and we must COM
plete the sanitary arrangements in the
American zone.
NO" continued Mr. Shonts, in re-
sponse to an inquiry, "the sanitary
conditions on the Isthmus are not so
bad as they have been reported to be.
They are being bettered all the time,
and as soon as we can complete ar
for an adequate supply of
pure drinking water we shall have lit
tie or no difficulty. My present belief
is that the actual digging of the canal
will have to be done by laborers Injured
to the tropical climate. That labor
we shall be able to get without ser.
ious trouble"

One thousand copies of the bulletin
were sent Mr.. Nicholson by Colonel
Frost, secretary of the Bureau. today.
and as soon as possible another one
thousand copies will be sent him for

On account of the small appropria.
tion for the maintenance of the Bureau
for the present year. it will not be prac-
ticable to furnish many more copies to
Mr.. Nicholson, until the coming fiscal
year, which commences December 1st,
1908.
The fact that Mr.. Nicholson wants
as great a number as fifty thousand OF
these bulletins is the best possible
proof that they are the right thing at
the right time. They contain informa-
ton desired by the immigrant and the
homeseeker and for those who desire
to come to New Mexico to take a
homestead or a desert land entry on
the public domain, or to buy private
lands under irrigation and cultivation.
