Panama April 13.-To walk the rail
road ties from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciGc would be considered something
extraordinary up in the states. But
here we have accomplished it in seven
days, and even at that have spent much
time in restful observance.
They say it is only 40 miles from
ocean to ocean as the crow flies. but
took the lin crow" route, and it was
so of the longest miles | ever walked.
We have passed "a stations and cross
ed twice as many bridges. Our path
has led through one long avenue of
palms and ferns and tropical jungle in
all it's fantastic beauty We have
tramped to the music of a thousand
birds. and countless lizards, as if to
herald our approach. have scampered
away down the track and disappeared
in the forest.
Our intermittent reveries have been
disturbed by the shrill shrek of the
engine whistles as the trains came
swinging round the curves, and we
have stepped back within the portals
of dreamland, when, above the rustling
of the palms. we have heard the Ian
guorouS folk songs of Jamaica. We
have discovered that no work is being
done on the canal project except in the
vicinity of Culebra. We have encoun-
tered much progress in the construc-
ton of barracks and homes for the
employees of the government, and now,
like Balboa. We stand on the hilltop
at our journeys end and view the rest
less billows of the mighty Pacific.
From Culebra to Panama there are
only three points of general interest
Paraiso. Mirafiores, and Corozal-the
last named town being famous for its
hotel that is said to have been built
in a hollow Paraiso. which in English
would be Paradise, is well named. Her
hills. of their own volition, yield
bountiful supply of the purest water.
and it is here that the sanitary inspec-
ton department of the canal zone has
headquarters. Also. an industrious
manufacturer of sparkling drinkables
