black death lowered over the isthmus.
However, it was believed that modern
scientific methods could at least lower
the death rate to something like the
normal, and the first efforts were made
in cleaning out the cities at either end
of the line, and in building habitable
and sanitary homes for the men who
were to dig out the great ditch.
The Canal Commission is divided into

Demand for More Furs.

Samuel Leon, who represents large
fur interests and has charge OF sup
plying the trade, reports greatest de-
mand for fur in the history of the
country.
I'm the last three years the demand
for fur in the United States has In
creased more than 200 per cent. The
demand is so large that it cannot be
met at all, and the result has been
to increase enormously the price of
skins.
"a large amount of the furs of the
United States are being imported from
Russia, which shows a great change,
as formerly we relied in this country
to a great degree on the furs of our
own continent. The seals have been
slaughtered in recent years in large
numbers, and although there seems to
be no sign of an early extinction of the
animals, the skins are not so common
as formerly More and more the trade
is looking to the countries of northern
Europe for their fine skins.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

1t is estimated that between $4,000
and 10000 men will be needed event

has been testing the various kinds of

canal grows more urgent every day.
