The Rev. John g. McMinn Of Waynes-
burg while driving to funeral the
other afternoon was accosted by a
stranger, who asked to be permitted to
ride. His request was granted. The
wayfarer told the preacher that his
life had been one of hardship and woe
and stated that he was tired Of liv-
ing. He was urged by the preacher to
accept Christianity as solace for his
trouble, and, moved by the preacher to
repent. he accepted Christianity.
In his new found joy the convert ex-
pressed desire to be Immediately bap-
TIED. and Mr.. McMinn, fearing to lose
his man, stopped his horse, broke the
ice In a small stream beside the road

water, where the rite Of baptism was
administered.

hauling are going on with constantly
increasing energy. the huge shovels
being pressed up, as If they were
mountain howitzers, into the most I'M
likely looking places, where they eat
their way into the hillsides.
Railway improvements.
The most advanced methods, not
only in construction. but In railroad
management, have been applied to the
zone. with corresponding economies In
time and cost. This has been shown
in the handling Of the tonnage from
ships into cars, and from cars into
ships on the Panama railroad. where.
thanks largely to the efficiency OF
General Manager Bierd, the saving IN
time and cost has been noteworthy.
My examination tended to show that
some of the departments had doubt
less necessarily become overdevel-
oped, and could now be reduced or
subordinated without impairment OF
efficiency and with saving OF cost.
The chairman Of the commission, Mr..
Shonts, has all matters OF this KIND
constantly in view, and is now reor-
ganizing the government OF the zone,
SO as to make the form OF admtnistrar

After most careful consideration We
have decided to let out most of the
work by contract. II we can come to
satisfactory terms with the contract
ors. The whole work is Of q kind
suited to the peculiar genius Of our
people; and our people have devel>
oped the type Of contractor best lifted
to grapple with 1t. It is. Of course,
much better to do the work in large
part by contract than to do 1t all by
the government, provided it is posi-
BILE on the one hand to secure to the
contractor sufficient remuneration to
make it worth while for responsible
contractors of the best kind to under
take the work; and provided on the
other hand it can be done on terms
which will not give an excessive profit
to the contractor at the expense OF the
government. After much considera-
ton the plan already promulgated by
the secretary Of war was adopted.
This plan in its essential features was
drafted, after careful and thorough
study and consideration, by the chief
engineer, Mr.. Stevens, who. while In
the employment Of Mr.. Hill, the presi'
dent of the Great Northern railroad.
had personal experience OF this very
type Of contract. Mr.. Stevens then
submitted the plan to the chairman Of
the commission, Mr.. Shonts. who went
carefully over it with Mr.. Rogers, the
legal adxiser- Of. the commission, r

own workmen. Having in view this
principle. have arranged to try sew
eral thousand Chinese 1aborers. This
is desirable both because we must try
to find out what laborers are most
eff1cient. and, furthermore. because we
should not leave ourselves at the mer-
cy Of any one type Of foreign labor.
I have now dealt with the hygienic
conditions which make it possible to
employ great force Of laborers, and
with the task Of gathering, housing
and feeding these laborers. There re-
mains to consider the actual work
which has to be done; the work of
constructing the canal. This is under
the direct control of the chief engi-
neer, Mr.. Stevens, who has already
shown admirable results, and whom
we can safely trust to achieve similar
results in the future.
Our people found on the fsthmus
certain amount of old French material
and equipment which could be used.
Some of it, in addition, could be sole
as scrap iron. Some could be used for
furnishing the foundation for filling
in. For much no possible use could be
devised that would not cost more than
it would bring in.
Work Of Construction.
The work is now going on with
vigor and efficiency pleasant to wit
ness. The three big problems of the
canal are the La Boca dams, the Ga
tun dam, and the Culebra cut. The
Culebra cut must be made, anyhow;
but of course changes as to the dams,
