moves awkWardly over the waters Of
the lake that will form Il portion of the
great canal the sensation Will be quite
different from that produced by the
bdttleship Louisiana speeding smoothly
and swiftly through leagues of white
sea foam. very modern and up to
date armed and armOred castle not set
upon Il crag. but endowed with the lib
erty OF the sea and carrying within its
own cavernous interior the power Of

From the superb battleship to the
funny little casco is truly quite Il
change. but that is just the sort OF
thing that President Roosevelt conSid-
ers delightful. Ten to one if YOU
should ask him after his return to
Washington what part of the trip he
most enjoyed he will say:
'Why. the ride on that Panama fiat

Another thing that is bound 10 please
the president beyond measure is the es-
cOrt of Il hundred young Panamans
mounted, who, according to the pro
gramme as announced, are to accom-
pany him on his drive about the city OF
Panama. The rough rider instinct in
the presidents soul will come to the
surface again ut this time and he may
long for Il chance to give these awk-
ward young Latin-Americans some les
sons modelled after the teachings of the
late Buciiy O'Neil and other plainsmen
who fought with him at San Juan.
Some timid spirits, always looking
for trouble, have grown bold enough
to ask who will be the president of
the United States while Theodore
Roosevelt is gone. The answer Is not

dies who are assisting Uncle Sam in
this mighty undertaking will see the
rubbered and rubbering president of
the greatest nation in the world pick
ing and blowing his way through the
rubbish and the muck. closely inspect
ing sort of muck raking which even
he must approve heartily.
Laborious, but Interesting.
But this picture of the president wad-
ing in the mud at the bottom of the
Culebra cut and climbing the slippery
slopes will be really nothing Few for
Mr.. Roosevelt, except as to location
and occasion. He is more or less ac-
cuStomed to that sort of thing He has
hunted bear in swamps and canebrakes
and has sought mountain lions on per-
ilouS heights, clad in costumes that
made him look like the ordinary sports
man out for Il good time, and upon
those expeditions of strenuous adven-
ture he no doubt had good time, but
not a whit more bully" than he will
find the laborious but interesting trip
through the partly dug canal.
1t is only those who have been privi-
legged to see Mr.. Roosevelt rugged out
in an old hat and boots, leggings and
rough clothes who know how vastly
he enjoys such Il thing. To the laborers
in the Panama ditch. who have been
wont TO imagine the rulers of great ma
tions as always dressed in their Sun
day clothes, the sudden appearance of
the rubber clad stout man i'll eyeglass-
es will be somewhat startling. 1t Is
not TO be doubted that for many years
TO come there will be number of men
whose chief claim to glory will lie In
saying to their families and associ-
ateS:
Il was at work in the Panama canal
when the president of the United States
came through. and he stopped and talk
ed TO me. shook hands and askei me If
my health was good and if l got
enough TO eat"
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-11-07

And, who knows, perhaps the presi-
dent will insist upon eating n meal
with the workmen, as he did with the
sailors on the battleship Missouri not
long ago. He has stated already that
he Intends to pay for his own meals on
the voyage to Panama, and therefore
he must be permitted to eat what he
pleases. unless Surgeon General RiXey,
his physician, who is going along,
should happen to object too strongly.
Formidable Mosquito Barricade.
There is practically no danger that
the president will be exposed to any
climatic perils in Panama. The Hotel
Tivoli, which is to be his stopping
place in the capital of the little repub-
lie, will be imperviouS TO the stego-
myia, otherwise the lady mosquito
which transmits yellow fever from
person TO person in two bites We
are told that this entire hotel will be
fnclosed in mosquito netting to pre-
vent mosquitoes which spread the
yellow fever germ from singing the
president or the members of his par
ty-" Doubtless il any mosquitoes do
try to get into the Tivoli they viii
carry to their dying day the recollec-
ton of the most formidable mosquito
barricadc in the history of the insect.
But thanks to the good work OF Gov
ernor MagOon. now OF Cuba. and Colo
mel W. c. Gorgas. chief sanitary officer
of the canal zone, the sanitary condi-
ton of the zone and of the city Of
Panama as well has been so greatly
improved that the stegOmyian peril Is
said to be practically q memory.
President Roosevelt goes to Panama
aboard the most powerful battleshlp
in our navy The Louisiana. which
was launched but few months ago,
is of 1900 tons displacement, nearly
equal to the boosted British Dread
uought and in armament and equip
ment equal to any sea fighter af1oat.
Considering the extra touches added
to the Louisiana's interior in prepara-
tion for the. presidents voyage, this
big bulldog of the seas is very tidy
craft for comfortable ride of 1,7SS
miles and back.
The presidential quarters are sep
arated by temporary bulkhead from
the rest of the ship. Seven state
rooms and three bathrooms are set
aside for President and Mrs. Roose-
Welt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, DR.. Rixey,
Assistant Secretary NJ. c. Latta and
Lieutenant Franck T. Evans, the pres
ident's aid. The large cabin intended
for the flag officer is made over into a
dining and reception room. The chief
of staff's cabin is prepared for a sit
ting room. while the space around the
after turret. under the noses of the big
twelve inch guns, is intended for
general sitting room. being fitted with
coy chairs and lounges. Captain Cou-
den, commander of the ship, is to oc-
cupy during the voyage the emergency
cabin on the bridge.

hand, actually welcoming the hard
ships of a trip through the canal zone.
The president likes exercise. and he is
very likely 10 get plenty of it during
his inspection of the digging opera
tions.
Somewhere down there the proper
officials have got ready pair of hip
high rubber boots of the presidential
number and long rubber coat for
Hcoseyeltian occupancy. Probably II
rubber hat is included III this outfit, in
which the president will go through
the great CuIebra cut, personally in
speeding the work already done and in
progress.
The Culebra cut is the narrowest
part Of the canal because it is the
deepest At that point rises the back
bone of the isthmus or what may be
called the Siamese twin ligament that
connects North and South America.
Our engineers are simply cutting
through this great backbone, which is
partly stone and partly earth, and
down in the present channel IS alto
gether mud The mud is of n sticky
variety and exceedingly wet in places.
Through this the president Will pillow
his way clad In rubber. and. to en-
ploy slang term. there Is no doubt
that he will do Il great deal of rub
bering on this tour of inspection.
The great steam shOvels. which fill
big car with only three bites of mud,
will attract his attention, along with
many other mechanical devices spe-
cialiy patterned TO undertake the her
culean tasks presented. The American

"<HEREliS nothing suggesting the
swing around the circle i'll
President ROOsevelts approach
ing visit To Panama. 1t is mere
" Il matter of public business. The
United States is digging the Panama
canal As president of the United
States Mr.. Roosevelt is general over
seer of the job. 1t is big job, and the
boss is going down there to see how
the work is getting along. Any man in
his position would be expected to do
the same thing. but in the. case of
Roosevelt the expectation is Il foregone
conclusion. y considerable section of
the American public has been wonder
ing how the president has managed TO
keep away from Panama thus long.
He is the sort of man who wants tC
see things for himself when large
measure of the responsibility is his.
Mr. Rooseveit's readiness To find out
things for himself may be illustrated
by all anecdOte about another man.
During the civil war General Joe
Wheeler. Confederate cavalry leader,
stood surrounded by his staff when an
engagement was Imminent Not far in
advance was little hill crowned by
clump of bushes. General Wheeler
scanned the hill Suspiciously through
his field glasses. and other officers did
she same.
Il wonder if there is a masked bat
terry on that hill said one of the
officers.

whizzinG past. He wheeled and rode
back To his staff.
Yes. there is he said.
Nobody expects President Roosevelt
10 find any sort of masked batteries i'll
the canal zone Notwithstanding the
hostile criticism of the management of
the work that comes from some quar-
tiers. But the Panama canal in the fu-
ture will be associated with ItooSe-
veit's mime and administration, and
none of us can quarrel with the preSi-
dent for his desire and determination
TO dispense with hearsay for the time
being and get some primI facie evi-
dence. though it is going to take him
out of the United States.
No other president of the United
States has visited Il foreign country
during his term of office Even IN this
instance the foreign visit will be only
incidental. for during much of his four
days in Panama the president will be
actually on United States soil. The
canal zone, ten miles wide. belongs in
perpetuity to the United States. As
Il matter of courtesy Mr.. Roosevelt
will visit President Amador of the re-
public of Panama and will touch at
several points that are on foreign ter
ritory. But even in this he will be at
tending to business. Still, it is some
thing new for n president of the Unit
ed States to get out of his own coun-
try, but then we have come to expect
the present incumbent to do new
things.
Likely TO Get Plenty of Exercise.
Heretofore there has been no occa-
sion for the chief executive to set foot
on foreign soil. Now that the occa-
sion has arisen. it is Il matter of pub

in this city last week and engaged a
cook to take charge Of the camp for

stated that the men expect TO be on the
ground shortly after Jan. ; about Jan.
7th
There has been much talk Of this
extension and 1t was confidently ex-
pected that the work would have been
commenced last year but owing TO the
fact that there was no opening in the
ore shipping line at Iron River last
year and also to the scarcity of labor
the company decided not TO commence
the work until later.
The cutting OF ore at the Baker prop
erty Of the Corrigan Mckinney COM
pany makes IL necessary that the st.

in at the opening of t''w property.
The Baker is Corrigan. Mckinney

friendly to the st. Paul. dividing its
business here in the Falls between It

with the expection Of the 34th circuit
is the largest in the state OF Michigan.
with the exception OF 34th, which

present heavy population Of the five
counties contained in the 25th circuit
that too much work Is placed for the
Judge and the movement whicn origi-
mated in Delta county will provide for
the division Of the circuit and the ap-
