ONE YEAR
IN PANAMA

Howard K CLARK, an engineer ON
the great interooeaniG canal, is spend
ing a vacation with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. W. r. Clark South Danville,
after years sojourn on the Isthmus
of Panama.
Howard left for the Isthmus on June
1st. last year. He arrived home Mon
day evening and is looking exceeding
ly we'll, Notwithstanding the unsalub-
rious climate of the tropics. He will
remain at home until the early part of
June when he will return to the 18th
mus.
Howard states that his experiences
have been very interesting-thatl life
in the canal zone for the first year or
so affords a series of surprises to the
new conner. He is transit man on a
corps of engineers, who have camp
at Bos Obispo, which is on the more
elevated section about eighteen miles
from the town of Panama. At this
elevation-a trifie less than hundred
feet above the sea level-the climate
is much more healthful than at Pan
anna and Colon, although not without
its detriments. Howard himself had
a siege of malaria and was confined to
the hospital for some weeks. Along
the coast yellow fever is prevalent.
During the past year there have been
about one hundred cases of the dread
disease among the workmen on the
canal. The rate OF mortality is gen
orally about one-third of the whole
number stricken.
On the more elevated sections the
changes of temperature are marked
and sudden and prove great trial to
person not Injured to the peculiarit-
les of the climate. For instance one
hot day the engineers found the mercu-
ry up to 40 in the sun, while under the
shelter of the tent it was SO degrees.
A day with a heat record such as
above, is likely to be followed by
night in which the thermometer falls
to 64 degrees. Changes such as this
sets very hard Oh persons not acolimat-
ed and the cold, at GA degrees, which
in our latitude would scarcely be no.
tioed, to the engineers caused the
greatest discomfort and seemed as in
tense as zero weather in the temperate
zone. Some of the engineers were OBJ
liged to sleep with their clothing on
besides availing themselves of the use
of all the blankets at their command
The engineers are becoming more or
less accustomed to the tropical climate
and Howard finds our climate al
though summer, relatively cold. On
arriving at New York, Monday, when
the weather to us was oppressiyely
warm, he was obliged to buy an over
coat.
The rainy season is now on in the
canal zone, when the air Is charged
with moisture to degree never ex-
perienced i'll this latitude which adds
very much to physical discomfort. The
dry season, which begins about the
Goth of December and ends about the
middle of May, is the hot season, when
the weather records described above
were made. The wet season does not
bring incessant rain there may be two
weeks of literal downponr, followed
by two weeks of clearing weather.
Howard, while on the Isthmus lived
through both seasons.
The actual work OF construction has
not been carried very far on the great
canal. Some dredging has been done
at each terminus, but the work done
mainly is of a preliminary nature.

Showers Helped the Crops.

The rapid growth OF vegetation was
retarded during the week by cold
nights and q lack of sunshine, but the
generous showers were decidedly bene-
fetal to the growing crops. Wheat and
rye are maturing with heads well fill
ed, but generally short in straw. A
few fields were some what broken down
and lodged by heavy rains and wind.
Oats and corn improved in color and
much of the replanting of corn com
pleted Tobacco planting is nearly
finished in the southern and we'll un-
der way in the northern counties.
Grass continues back ward, but we'll
set and in good condition. The hay
crop will probably be shortened from
recent lack of moisture. Potatoes and
garden truck are promising and orch.
ard and vine fruits may yield full
average

ARGUED BEFORE
JUDGE STAPLE

The hearing of the preliminary in
junction granted the Hospital for the
Insane against the Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway Company, which
was continued from Tuesday of last
week, took place before Judge Charles
B. Staple, of Monroe county. at Dan.
vile yesterday afternoon
The injunction involves the use of
about 300 feet of the East extension of
Market street and has attracted a good
| deal of attention for the reason that
while the injunction is in force all
work of construction on the line is
| held up
Al the hearing last week the defend
ants called attention to the fact that
before the writ was applied for the at
torneys for the hospital had notice
that part OF the route lying on the ex-
tension of Market street was in pro-
cess Of abandonment by the electric
railway company. A large number of
witnesses were heard on that day. At

place.
H. NJ Hinckley and r. S. Ammer-
man represented the plaintiff in argu-

defendants. Each one of the speakers
made the best of his case and the ad-

RIVER BRIDGE
OPEN At LAST

The river bridge has been thT own
open ~ the public There was over a
year of trial and deprivation before
/ the structure was completed. then af-
ter inspection and approval due to
official formality and delay, came
weeks of patient waiting, while at the
last moment street paving caused com
plications which threatened to prevent
the use of the bridge.
But the bridge is open at last and
affairs as they relate to business tax
ing in both sides of the river are nor
NAL again All the delay attributed to
red tape is forgiven, all the trials of
the past are forgotten in the joyful
thought that the bridge is open to the
public.
AS predicted in the last issue of the
American the opening of the bridge
although authorized by the County
| Commissioners. was not accomplished
without a hitch owing to the fact that
Mill street and the approach to the
bridge, which had just been paved,
were not yet taken off the contractor s
hands. d. j. Rogers declared himself
to be in possession of both the street
and the approach leading to the bridge
which had been grOuted only a couple
of days before and could not be driven
without injury to the new pavement.
Council declined to take the street off
his hands until the terms of the con-
tract had been complied with and the
time limit had been passed
To protect himself. therefore, Mr..
Rogers on Friday night strengthened
the guard on the Dauville end of the
bridge, using in addition to the long
pole which barred the driveway, three
heavy chains, secured with a paddock.
When day dswned Saturday it was
found that some one had broken the
lock, torn down the barrier and had
thrown the chains into the river; a
stream of vehicles OF all sorts was
coming over the bridge and driving z
up over the new pavement by the
Montour House. AS soon as Mr.. Rog-
ers was apprised OF the state of affairs
he again closed up the bridge. In a
very short time there was a congestion
of teams on the Danville end of the
bridge and these were obliged reluct-
antly to turn around and drive back TO
South Danville and TO employ the
ferry to come to Danville if they wish
ed to complete the trip.
Early in the forenoon, however, an
arrangement was entered into between
the contractor. the County Commits
sioners and Chief Burgess Pursel
whereby the public were permitted to
use the approach by driving in and
out East Front street. Only a small
portion of the approach is grouted aud
this the County Commissio made
themselves responsible for. The rod
or so of Borough pavement driven over
is used with the authority of Chief
Burgess Pursel, tho will see to it that
no troublesome complications arise.
There seems to be a general satisfac-
tion all around with possibly the ex-
ception OF the contractor who is look
ing for the parties who threw his
chains into the river, one of which, at
last accounts had not been recovered.
