IN. making the toal actual working
time 1919 hours. The pay is about 70
cents per day. This, of course, results
in the almost permanent poverty of
the working class; yet close inspec-
ton of the poorest districts in King
stOn disclosed a perfectly sanitary CON
dition. The British government does
not for moment forget the health of
it's subjects, and this is one point that
must be considered by the American
government here at Colon and along
the line of the proposed canal con-
struction
In the rural districts of Jamaica the
statistics are more favorable. The Ia
bOrer is paid on an average of 81 cents
a day, but he has no rent to pay, prac-
tically no clothes to buy, and he may
pick his food from the surrounding
trees. The 81 cents in the country is
almost all clear profit. When the city
laborer has paid for his rent, clothes.
and food, he seldom has 81 cents left
from his days wage. These figures
are cited only as basis for compare
tive study when the condition of the
jamaican laborer of the isthmus is
taken up.

crnmental affairs, subject, of course, to
the approval of the English colonial
secretary and in some cases the Eng
Iish parliament. The town mayors are
negroes, the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker-they are all ne
Groes and all loyal subjects o the Brit

Ii is a significant fact that the Pana-
ma canal will be essentially an Anglo.
Saxon accomplishment, with the picks

subjects, under the supervision and

The children of Jamaica are just
like the children in our homes. The
fraternity of childhood is the same the
world over. In Jamaica-the island
that made ginger famous-the young
sters go down the avenues of palms
and ferns and tropical jungle to their
schools. where they learn that cat
spells cat, and that Edward spells
the name of their sovereign. With
their states and books under their
arms they return home in the after
noon, to climb the tall slender trunks
of the cocoanut trees, to gather the
bananas, the oranges, the plantains,
and what not. or to hum tune, God
Save the King"
Nor is this atmosphere of peace and
contentment superficial. The Jamaic-
ans-about 100000 of them-love their
country and are happy. To be sure,
they are not wealthy in the sense of

CONDITIONS AS THEY ARE
THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA

CONTINUED from Page one
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-04-09

The inducements held out by Uncle
Sam of more pay and shorter hours
of labor has caused Il considerable mi
grafton to Panama and the canal zone.
They relinquish the implements of agri-
culture for the implements of indus
try: they forsake the hoe and the rake
and the spade for the throttle of an ec-
gine. the handle of pick, or the bust
ness end of wheelbarrow. The tran
sition is rapid from agriculture TO canal
digging, but the evolution from jana
lean leisure to American energy is
neither so rapid nor SO universally &C
comp1ished.
The Englishmen of Jamaica, how
ever, look upon this emigration as the
beginning of a new era. They believe
that the Jamaican will become used to
the harder toll demanded by the Amer
lean engineers and ultimately return
to his former field of labors prepared
to cnergize his fellows in his native
land. The deposit of 25 shillings de
manded by the Jamaican government
for every negro leaving the island for
the iSthmuS is lettering many from
joining the forces of Uncle Sam at
Panama; nevertheless, they are COM
ing at the rate of 800 and 400 week,
most of them with no guarantee OF em-
ployment They land at the docks at
Colon, proceed to the office of the labor
commissioner, and in an hour they are
placed aboard the train, enroute for
the scene of active operations. Few,
if any, remain in the vicinity of Colon
and Cristobal a system much COM
planned of by the residents of these
two cities, who believe many more Ia
borers could be used in perfecting
sanitation. But this is subject i'll
itself, which l will treat at length at
subsequent time 81

Returning again to our subject, the
manner of getting to the isthmus of
Panama, the tourist should make the
trip across the island of Jamaica by
carriage or automobile. 1t is only
about 20 miles by the road, and the
vistas from the mountains and in the
river valleys are charming. Cocoanut
and banana plantations abound every
where, the monotone of green being
broken by red-tinged almond leaves,
the little brown bamboo hutS with
their matched roofs, and. in the dis
.tance the blue mountains thrust their
rugged and irregular profiles against
a bluer sky.
Kingston, the capital, is a thriving
and modern city, with the exception
of its hotel accommodations. All
through Jamaica there is a lamentable
lack of good moderate-priced hotels.
The best are too costly for the aver
age American, while the hotels of more
reasonable tariff are devoid of those
facilities, aye, even necessities, that
make travelling a comfort as well as a
pleasure. This is particularly true of
Kingston, but by taking advantage of
the trolley car service, the railroads
and the carriages, the tourist may
spend most all of his time in the sur
rounding country, thus reducing to q
minimum the inconvenience of the
hotels.

Before the start it looIA-s as if the
Chicago Nationals had been strength

other club in the league The New

cally adding a little young blood to
their reserves only. PittsbaIrg has at

will be crippled seriously. If Leach
has real appendicitis. he will not be

even If the operation turns out in the

while the pitching departme rt, which
was its stronghold heretofore, has not

Vanderbilt CUP
Next Race for the Trophy VIII
Be Held Oct. 6.
Preliminary Trial for American
Cars on Sept. %.
ENTRANCE FEE S1,080.
Number of Entries for the Coz
test Restricted to %.
But High Money to Start Will
Keep Many Out.

New York, April 12.-At a meeting of
the racing board of the American Au-
tomobile association. held at the Au-
tonobue Club Of America yesterday af-
ternoon, It was announced that the
next race for the Vanderbilt club viii
be held on October 6 and that the pre-
hninary race to select an American
team viii be held on September p, or
about one week earlier than last years
race.
It was also decided to charge an en-
trance fee of 81, 600 a car. as against a
fee OF $500 last year. In the case of
American cars this covers both the pre-
liminaTy and main events.
In view Of the controversy over the
selection Of last years American team
IN the preliminary race it was decided
that the first five cars to finish in this
years contest should comprise the
American team. It was stated that the
preliminary race would be at the same
distance as the big race. The num-
Der Of entries in the preliminary con-
test has been restricted to 25 cars, but
in view Of the high entrance fee it is
doubtful if half that number viii COM
pete.
The entries for both American and
foreign cars viii close on July l. and
provision was made for the represent
tation Of the English, Italian and Ger
man clubs on the Vanderbilt commits
sion instead OF only the French and
American clubs, as was the case last
year.
The race will be over the Nassau cir
cult, Long Island, the same as that
used last fall This circuit must be
covered ten times, and the approximate
distance Of the race is 286 miles.
