Charles E. Magoon.

. . = 9 8 . . . y = . Q . . . . . Q
Charles Edward Magoon, whom
President Roosevelt has intrusted with
the important task of Strengthening
out affairs In Cuba, was born In Min
nesota Dec. 5, 1861, and after a farm
bringing up in that state, worked his
way through the university of Ne
braska, graduating in 1881. Enter
ing the law, he practiced in Lincoln,
Neb., and gained high local standing.
Mr.. Magoon entered the war depart
ment in 1899. just when Elihu Root,
the secretary Of war, was planning the
establishment of the republic of Cuba,
and throughout Cuba's reconstruction
period Mr. Magoon was his legal adj
wiser. BY his efficiency as law
officer, Mr.. Magoon won his Office as
governor Of the canal zone, July Is,
1906. The value Of this training under
Secretary Root and Secretary Taft
he clearly demonstrated by his adj
ministration of affirs in Panama, where
he acted in the dual capacity Of gov
ernor Of the canal zone minister to
Panama. and acquitted himself in both
roles with exceptional ability. He was
member Of the new canal commission
formed In April, 1905. and on its ex-
ecutive committee.
