THE BIG CANAL BY 1912?
The Consul General at Pan
ANA Says It's Only
Matter Of Digging.

X. c. Star.
"The Panams canal? Why. weare
already casting lots TO see who will
go through it on the first ship"
That is the way Arnold Shsnklin,
consul general at Panama, views the
problems OF the big ditch.
"Noproblem at all, said Mr. Shank
lin, who is at the Baltimore. "In the
words OF Speaker Cannon, it's just a
question OF digging and dsmming.
Why, we have a canal there now,
only Ii isu't deep enough for our pur.
pose. The earth has been turned
every inch OF the way from Colon to
Panama, and it's only a matter OF
making the ditch deep enough for
the heaviest battle ship shat floats,
and that, we estimate, will be done
sometimein she term OF the man who
is elected President OF the United
States In 1912"
HE'S WALKED OVER THE ROUTE
Mr., Shanklin, who was appointed
by President Roosevelt two years
ago, was formerly a Kansas City st-
torney, and at one time was asso.
ciated with Judge Elijah Robinson
as attorney for the Missouri Pacific
here. He came from the isthmus
week ago ON business connected with
the state department, and is spend
ing few days 10 this city.
"While am not connected with
the canal zone in any way" he said,
"you can well understand thar the
ditch is the chief thing that engages
the attention OF a government off,
cial anywhere In the 10-mile strip. l
am stationed at Panama, but have
walked over the entire route OF the
canal, and In common with the H..
900 men employed on the job, Ihsve
formed an opinion OF it-that It is
the most gigantic task ever under.
taken anywhere and that It will re-
main forever a monument to the
genius and daring OF the American
people,"
NO YELLOW FEVER IN PANAMA.
when l went to Panama two
years ago it was a pesthole. To-day
1t is typical American city, clean,
well paved, orderly and healthiul. |
In two years there has not been a |
case Of yellow fever in Panama.
There are 1000 Americans employ.
ed In the zone and they are as healthy |
and we'll cared for as any four thous.
and Americans in any city in the
country. When the work on the
canal began the government had to
advertise to get men to 60 to the
isthmus. To-day so many Ameri-
cans are going there In search OF
positions that they are a source OF
embarrassment to canal officials.
That tells the story OF what has been
done In the zone to safeguard
healsh."
