CANAL MESSAGE
PRESIDENT SATISFIED WITH THE
PANAMA OUTLOOK.
coMMEHDs THE WORK DONE
Route 10 Best that Could Have Been
Chosen - Commission Has Been
Wise and Enersetie-Wants One
Man to Have Control.

Washington.-In long message
sent to Congress Monday. President
Roosevelt gave a detailed history OF
his tour to Panama and the conditions
he found on the isthmus and in the
canal work. He said:
Il chose the month of November for
my visit partly because 1t is the rain
lest month of the year. the month in
which the work goes forward at the
greatest disadvantage. and one of the
two months which the medical depart
ment OF the French Canal Company
found most unhealthy
After giving full account of what
he saw, he says:
AT the outset | wish to pay a trib-
ute to the amount of work done by the
French Canal Company under very diff
fcult circumstances. Many of the
buildings they put up were excellent
and are still, in use, though, naturally,
the houses are now getting out of re-
pair and are being used as dwellings
only until other houses can be built,
and much of the work they did in tie
Culebra cut, and some of the work they
| did in digging has been of direct AID
real benefit. This country has never
made better investment than the
| $40, 100000 which 1t paid to the French
| COMPANY for work and betterments, in.
| cluding especially the Panama rail
| road.
IAN inspection of the ground at the
| height of the rainy season served tc
| convince me of the wisdom of Con.
| gress in refusing to adopt either high.
| level or a sea-level canal. There seems
| to be a universal agreement among all
| people competent to judge that the
| Panama route, the one actually chosen,
| Is much superior to both the Nicaragua
| and Darien routes.
"The wisdom of the canal manage
+, ment has been shown in nothing more
clearly than in the way in which the
foundations of the work have been laid.
"Just at present the health showing
on the isthmus Is remarkably good
30 much better than in most sections
of the United States that ] do not be
lieve it can possibly continue at quite
its present average.
| after most careful consideration we
have decided to let out most of the
work by contract, If we can come tc
satisfactory terms with the contrac
tors. The whole work Is of a kind
suited to the peculiar genius of our
people; and our people have developed
the type of contractor best fitted tc
grapple with it.
my conclusion is that it combines
the maximum Of advantage with the
minimum OF disadvantage. Under IL a
| premium will be put upon the speedy
and economical construction of the ca
nal, and penalty imposed on delay
and waste.
| "a seven-headed commission is o
course clumsy executive instrument
We should have but one commissioner
with such heads of departments and
other officers under him as we may find
necessary. We should be expressly
permitted to employ the best engineers
in the country as consulting engineers
"Those best informed believe that
the work will be completed ia about
eight years; but it is never safe te
prophesy about such work as this
especially in the tropics"

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Man Victorious In Hand
to-hand Combat.

Unarmed and alone. Thomas Dyke
was attacked by wildcat on Locust
mountain, south of Mount Carm' :. Pa.
He had been in Ashland and started
to drive home. His horse stepped on
a nail and he put the animal in a sta
BILE.
Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of a wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. The aLimal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon it. For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
hIal and the man went on. At length
by quick swing he broke the ami
mails back
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,
but otherwise he was uniniured.

This is true of most cathartics. which,

THE AGE OF CLAY.
Rapidly suppIantins Iron and Steel for
Many Uses.


In spite of the fact that the largest
corporation in the world is devoted TO
the exploitation of iron and steel the
people VINO like to look ahead are al
ready prophesying the end of the iron
age. 1t is pointed out that we can al
ready compute the amount of iron ore
sun in sight, and the number of years
which II will require to exhause these
deposits.
The question which arises is what Is
TO be the substitute for ron. The ex-
perts have an answer ready. We will
return to the age Of clay.
Iron, according to the late Professor
Shaler, is first to go out of use for re-
tanning vessels. After a while there
VIII be no more iron buckets and bath
tubs and boilers. The retaining ves-
sells of the future, like those of our saw
age forbears, will be made OF clay. AL
ready a new spirit is entering the pot
terry of the world. and the ceramic in
dustry is recovering the lost glories
OF its antiquity. Sheet iron will be-
come too expensive for roofs, and tiles
will be more used. Even now they
are regaIning vogue in American
country houses.
Iron for structural purposes will fol-
sells. For all its shell of brick and
stone, New York is steel city. a
masked dream of the iron age. metal
skeleton, incased Sometime its steel
skyscrapers and its steel bridges will
be curiosities. The houses and bridges
of the future, many of them. will be
built of cement. Many of them are be.
ing built of cement.

dians of the Southwest 1t is the clay
age reasserting itself in a novel form
In this form indeed that age is al
ready on the scene, shouldering cut

America produced only about a mil
lion and n half barrels of cement in
1897. Last year the output was 26,
100000 barrels. The supply is practi
cally inexhaustable. 1t is claimed fol
the cement house that it can be
erected in half the time of another
house and at much less expense.
