Small POx Among Neefoes.

The Leader learns from Drx j..
I. Butler, county health oficef,
that small pox is prevailing in d
mild form among some Of the me-
groes. 1T is believed it was
brought here several weeks ago
Eby d negro from Marshall, Tex.
There haye been FIVE cases at the
neglo hotel in Pearlhaven, two
cases in Frogtown, 8 the negro
quarter south of Pearlhaven, and
one case Id cabin TO the east Of
Pearlhayen. Three Of the pa
tients are getting well, but have
not been discharged. All Of the
palties, together with those
known to have been exposed, are
under quarantine and strictly
guarded, SO there is no fear Of
The disease spreading to any se-
rious extent. DIR. Butler has
also vaccinated all exposed per-
sons.

during a large part of the day this
lock will be entirely open as the levels
of both oceans will be equally high.
At the Panama side no plans have as
yet been made for breakwaters.
Better Than Lock Canal
The plans for constructing lock
canal at thirty feet altitude were
never discussed and from the begin
ming the board was divided into two
groups of eight and five members, one
in favor of a sea level plan and the
other in favor of lock canal. A
compromise plan was never brought
up at any time. 1t can be authorita-
lively reiterated that none of the for
eign delegates to the board came here
with specific instructions from their
governments. The members OF the
board came here at the bidding of
the United States and their govern
ments gave them long leave of alb
sence so that they might give their
services to this country, sending them
without any instructions whatever.
They will leave Washington by next
Saturday and stay a few days in New
York before leaving for Europe.
On Tuesday night next, General Da-
Wis, chairman of the board of con-
sulting engineers, will entertain the
foreign delegates at a farewell dinner
at his home.
Worth the Increased Cost
The cost of the sea level canal is
estimated by the engineers at about
1926, 100000. Although this amount
seems much larger than the amount
necessary for the construction of the
lock canal, it is claimed by the advO-
Gates fthe sea level plan to be in
reality only comparatively slightly
higher. 1t was pointed out in the
meetings of the board that lock ca
nal would necessitate between $780,
100000 and $40,000,000 as payment for
the private grounds and the land be-
longing to the republic of Panama,
which would be inundated by the con-
struction of the, lock system. This
item, In the view of the majority of
the board, is entirely done away with
by the adoption of the sea level canal.
AS for the time it will take to con-
struct the sea level canal, several
members of the board today expressed
the opinion that the construction of
the sea level canal will not in reality
take so very much more time than
that of the lock canal, and that if
no unexpected difficulties are met with
it should not require more than two
or three years additional. The major
ity of the engineers take the position
that the building of the sea level ca
nal should not take more than fifteen
years.

An Impressive Ceremony.
Arriving at his flagship, the admiral
piped his officers ON board. Here was
surely the time TO make a speech Togo
merely brought out a small table and
placed thereon a short sword, with the
point toward the officers. No word he
spoke, but they understood. That
