Streetcar conductors and drivers will
be instructed to exercise their statu-
tory right to arrest all ''crooks'':
caught by them in swindling by means
of cards or other instruments during
Grand Army encampment week.
County Attorney AL J. Smith has in
structed the police department that the
Minnesota laws make streetcar men as
we'll as many other classes Of people
Of the state, and has advised that they
be informed as to their duty, thereby
greatly augmenting the strength of the
police: They are given the same rights
as sheriff and are entitled under the
law to the same compensation for ar
rests as a sheriff or deputy working on
fee basis. b." .%Ns,

. Panama is a fine country to live
in, the Isthmian canal is the greatest
and most interesting engineering prof.
ect the world has ever known, and the
men who have been circulating stories
about the evils Of the country and the
ing the truth. They are usually men
who have been discharged for cause or
have some imagined grievance. ~
This statement was made emphat-
ically to 7 he Journal last night by
George D. Brooke, superintendent of
motive power and machinery of the
isthmian canal commission. Mr.. Brooke
was form><,y Of Minneapolis, having
been superintendent of motive power
other railways. His family lives, at
2742 Bryant avenue S. He is spending
SIX weeks furlough at home, and will
return to Panama Aug. %.
The sanitary conditions on the
1sthmus are as good as, or better than,
those in Texas and the other southern
states,' continued Mr.. Brooke. "We
now have more than 5000 men at work
on the canal and railroad,~ and during
the twenty-one months of my stay we
have not had one case of yellow fever.
Malaria, of course, there is. but this is
brought on largely by lack Of care and
lndlscretions. A man Of fairly temper
ate habits can go into that country
| without materially changing his mode
Of living.
Not a Summer Resort.
I'VE have made many: changes and
streets of the towns, furnished pure
water. supplies, cut down the bacteria
breeding fungus which used to grow in
profusion about the streets, and In 9th:
er ways increased the healthfulness of
the place. When I first went there,
New Orleans quarantined against Pa.
mama; now Panama quarantines against
New Orleans. Of course the isthmus is
not summer resort, and a. man must
must take his two to four grains OF
quinine every day. That Is one thing
I wouldn't do at first, but a touch OF
malaria brought me to it. IT is pc
culiar, but in that climate quinine in
large quantities does not bother yo,
and has no effect on your sight or hear
ing, as it does in the northern latitudes
the canal work, and the one that al
ways impresses the visitor, is it's mag
nitude. The people in. the states have
no conception of the size Of this great
work, nor of it's difficulties. Before
went to Panama I thought I had haG
enough experience in the engineering
work. When l began the work there
found that the only use my experience
was to ME was to give me the capacity
to study out the best methods to bt
used there. The conditions are SO en-
tirely different, everything has to bf
done on SO much larger scale thar
anything I had ever seen or heard Of
that the problems presented by the Pa
mama canal all have to be solved by re
verting to first principles. My expert
ence there has meant more to me thar
II can tell, and I am thoroly in love
with the work. ....~-, .~,zf-.,:E

Gigantic Undertaking.

EIn the first place, think of moving
$4,000 men away from their homes,
putting them all to work and provid-
ing for their board and lodging in a
a little undertakingF We, now have
things down to working basis. The
whole forty-seven-mile length of the
canal is one camp or city. We have
three mammoth hotels, two more are
under construction for the laborers,
and we are now building one that will
have every modern improvements con-
venience and elegance. This will be
done In time to receive President
next year. s
''Then came the problems Of the en-.
gneering work. The country Is made
Up of series of hills that seem as tho
they had simply been pushed up to.
gether by some prehistoric cataclysm
There are no defined strata and oul
methods of handling the building Of
the canal have to be changed continu'
ally to cope with changed conditions
and the 1s-inch tide on the Atlantic
also gave us food for thought, and
the indecision as to whether the cana
should be made on sea level was an
other cause of much worry and extra
work.
The Railroad Work.
"The railroad also required much Ia
Dor. We have double-tracked Its fifty
two miles, anad will probably have t.
| triple-track and will probably have tt
locomotive shops in operation and art
building others. We have. forty-fou
new mogul locomotives Of ninety-on'

ell shops, and the shovels that we u.s.
are larger than any ever saw before
They have q five-yard dip and handl
