Progress of the Work
On the Pnnnmn Canal.

work on the Panama canal Is pro-
cceding in highly satisfactory man
ner. In March the total cxca walton in
the Culebra Cut. where effort was
chiefly concentrated. was sl5.@T0 cubic
yards. In April this was Increased to
S79,527 cubic yards. There was a con
siderable decrease in the output for
May and June owing partly to the ad-
vent of the rainy season and partly to
temporary trouble with the steam
shovel men over the question Of wages.
This trouble was settled satisfactorily
to all parties and in July the total ex-
caVatIon advanced materially and In
August the grand total from all points

and dredges exceeded all previous

amount 1,4Sl,30 cubic yards were from

were from accessory works These re-
suits were achieved in the rainy sea

OF tho heavy rainfall, which was III

last two rainy seasons demonstrates
that the rains are n less serious OBJ
stacle to progress than has hitherto
been supposed
Work on the locks and dams at
Gatun, which began actively in March
last, has advanced so far that IL ia
thought that masonry work on tho
locks can be begun within Is months.
Last winter bids were requested and
received for doing the work of canal
construction by contract. None of them
was found to be satisfactory and all
were rejected 1t is the unanimous
opinion Of the present commission that
the work can be done better. more
cheaply. and more quickly by the gov
than by private contractors

needed for construction has been pur-
chased or contracted for: machine

Il is reported that some opposition
to the proposed $4,000 bond issue
for the improvement of the park
has developed of late. and it is there
fore hoped that every progressive
citizen who is in favor of beautify-
ing La Junta and making it more
desirable place Of residence will
turn out on election day and vote
for the bond issue. The opposition.
il IS reported. is confined to those
who own property in other parts OF
the city, and who have become i'm
pressed with the idea that the park
project is for the exclusive benefit
and aggrandizement Of those owning
property in the immediate vicinity
of the park. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. The park
Is close in-within six blocks at the
fnrtherest, from the most populous
residence sections Of the city. and so
easy of access that its privileges
may be enjoyed daily by all. There
H. rot more available. beautiful or
practical site for park purposes,
either inside or outside the city lim-
IT., than the one which is being de-
velrped the driving park. which is
located somewhere between the
h..!cS yard and Trinidad. and which
is favored by some of our local
hJrsemen as "a park site, included.
When the park commission circulat-
,1t. the petition requesting the city
council to submit a bond issue to
the people at the coming city cleo
ton. for rejection or approval, there
was practically no opposition. The
sentiment of property owners was
almost unanimously in favor of the
project. On the strength of this the
city council arranged for the sale of
$40. 900 worth of bonds. drawing
rive per cent interest. payable in
ten years and absolutely due and
payable in fifteen years. at the op-
ton of the city. The interest on
the bond issue will be $500 per year.
aI,J if you pay taxes on $1,000
w5rth Of property. which not ten
pec cent OF the property owners do.
yo, will have to pay 50 cents per an
nu,u for the privilege Of enjoying
park privileges 365 days in the year.
us,eas your municipal soul is so
..1,all that you can draw it through
the. eye of . needle you could not
possibly object to the expenditure
of this muniicent sum annually. for
YOU would thereby deprive the chill
dren Of La Junta Of . magnificent
playground and a quiet and restful
ret-Sat for the tired and weary. If
you are one Of those jealous mortals
who live. in mental agony for fear
that some one will be favored by a
municipal policy. and persistently
entertain the suspicion that you
won't get your'n. there is another
feature Of the park project that will
propabIy appeal to you. The city
council received an almost positive
assursnce that the bond issue would
! carry. and the park commission was

1t is authoritively reported that
the plans for the new Santa Fe hos
pltal at this point have been COM
pleted and are now in the hands of
the contractors with instructions to
submit bids not later than April LIST.
The latest plans provide for build
ing nearly double the size of the one
originally contemplated, and involve
an expenditure of $4,000. The
building will be constructed of gray
pressed brick, with white sandstone
trimmings. 70xl00 feet in dimen-
sions and two stories in height, with
inclines instead of stairways. and
will be strictly modern and up-to-

council will of necessity be forced to

next ten or fifteen years, you may
have the privilege Of paying that
amount in the next year or two

One of our exchanges tells of an
old German who had boy of whom
he was very proud. and decided to
find out the trend of his mind. He
adopted novel method by which to
test him. He slipped into the boys
room one morning and placed on
his table = bottle Of whisky, = bible
and q silver dollar. Now" said
he. when dot boy comes in if he takes
dot dollar he's going to be beeznis
man; if he takes dot bible he's going
tn be a preacher: if he takes dot
whisky he's no good. and going to
be drunkard." Then he hid be-
hind the door to see which his son
would choose. In the came the boy
whistl,ng. He ran up to the table.
picked up the Bible and put it under
his arm. then snatched up the bottle.
took two or three drinks. picked up
the dollar and put it in his pocket
and went out smacking his lips.
The Dutchman poked his head out
from behind the door and exclaimed:
"Mein Got, he is going to be boli-
t!cian."

Work on the new Santa Fe depot
is progressing at snail's pace, and
from present Indications the good
old summer time will be over and
winter far advanced before it is re-
modelled. reconstructed and ready
for occupancy. Many of US hoped
that the unsightly peak which
frowns down upon Colorado avenue.
and which President Ripley once
called an architectural nightmare,
was to be eliminated, but it seems
that the fond hope win be a vain
one. Instead. the plans provide for
a duplicate architectural night
mare at the west end of the new
depot to offset and balance the pres
ent hideous architectural monstros-
ity. With the exception Of the ad-
ditional peak at the west end. the
present general architectural con-
tour and plan will be deserved. the
walls of the baggage and mail room
being raised to conform with the re
mainder of the building.
