Railroad officials are quoted as say

work for them, as he turns over the

cumbrances, which means that he pays

How Lewis Figured In It.
Mr.. Oliver was the first man to sug-
gest that the Panama canal be dug by
contract He thought over the matter
for months, then sent his chief engi-
neer to Panama to make close in
spection and report, with a view to
presenting bid for the job. The en-
gineer's report was placed in the hands
Of Alfred Henry Lewis Of New York.
an all round author, who whipped it
into literary shape in his well known
style. This literary document, it is
understood, was laid before President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft and no
doubt had some weight in influencing
them favorably toward the prospective
bidder for the building Of the canal.

By RoBERTus LOVE.

HUST now the American public is
@ highly interested in the person
q ality Of William ]. Oliver, the
contractor who may build the
Panama canal, and in that of Freder-
lex c. Stevens, his financial hacker.
The public is Interested in anybody
who looks big enough actually to I'M
dertake and perform this very impor-
tant but nevertheless pesky job. So
many men have marched up the hill
and then marched down again, doing
little or nothing toward the consum-
nation devoutly to be wished, that the
patient public is beginning to yawn.
Now it appears that Mr.. Oliver will
be the contractor. He is young man,
only thirty-nine, but he seems to have
done things. One enthusiast calls him
Theodore Roosevelt No. 2. This char
acterization, of course, refers to his
strenuity. He is said to be the biggest
railroad contractor in the south. Great
railroad works are progressing in the
! south, and to be the chief figure in
constructing these means something
It is estimated that Mr. Oliver is now
engaged in construction work which
will aggregate in cost about $50 ,OOO,-
000 The fund now available for all
the great land reclamation projects
undertaken by the United States gov
eminent in the semiarid west is but
little more than that sum. Mr.. divers
undertakings therefore put him in the
class of those who do big things.
.Real Captain Of Industry
sS It is not improbable that the youth
of ME-. Oliver appeals to the president
d as faYorably as any other Of his quail
ties. Mr.. Roosevelt, as the world
knows, likes to put young men for
ward. Young Mr.. Oliver is called ga

does not permit the club or the lodge to
interfere with his spending much time
at home with his wife and four chill
dren.
Not long ago at an amateur theat-
rical entertainment in Knoxville a To-
cal life insurance agent sang a song
in which Mr.. Oliver was the hero. It
had to do with his building a railroad
to the moon. So pleased was the con-
tractor that he called the agent into
his Office the next day and took $25 200
worth Of life insurance on the spot.
Frederick G. Stevens, the financial
hacker Of Mr.. Oliver in the Panama
canal project, is another interesting
character. He is much better known
at the national capital and in New
York financial circles than Is Mr.. OH
yer. Mr.. Stevens has been in politics.
He served two terms in the New York
state senate and tried to get into con-
gress, but was prevented by Congress-
man Wadsworth, who wanted to stay
there himself. Last fall Mr.. Stevens,
according to fairly good authority,
financed the campaign Of Peter a..
Porter, whose emblem was COW, and
Mr.. Porter defeated Mr.. Wadsworth,
who had been the chief upholder of the
beef trust In congress. 1t is said to
have cost Mr.. Stevens $5O, 600 to bring
about the retirement OF his ancient
enemy, but he could stand ii, having
Inherited So, 600 600 from his father and
multiplied it by at least three through
his own operations In banking and 9TH
er lines.
Senator Stevens was chairman Of the
famous gas commission which investi
gated the New York gas trust. He Sc
lected ais counsel to this commission
Charles q. Hughes, lawyer not In
politics. Senator Stevens also insisted
upon having the life insurance compa-
mics investigated, though Governor
Higgins Of New York held that there
was no reason for such an inquiry. Mr..
Hughes was counsel In this inYestiga-
hon also. When Mr.. Hughes became
governor of New York last January he
appointed Frederick @. stevens super
ilntendent OF public works, greatly I'd
the chagrin Of James w. Wadsworth,
who two years ago had caused Stevens
to be retired from the state senate by q
Igerrymander.
| Mr.. Stevens was not only unsquelch-
Led, but he was just starting out on bis
eareer apparently. Az Paul Jones re-

enterprises goes far toward proving
his claim to this title. In fact, he has
80 many strings to his Industrial fiddle,
or, rather, so many brigades Of work
men under his direction, that he might
be called q major general OF industry.

the practical rebuilding Of the Louis
vile and Nashville between Knoxville
and Atlanta and is said to be negotiat-
Ing for more work on that railroad.
But there is still another line Of CON
structi0n work in which he leads. He
ls said to be the most successful con-
crete contractor in America. He has
built and is building bridges, business
blocks, viaducts and various other
structures In reinforced concrete, a
comparatively new construction mate
nal. The reinforced concrete method
was imported few years ago from
France. Mr.. Oliver is perhaps the

Describing the coronation of the new
shah OF Persia, a correspondent Of
Reynolds Newspaper says that when
he removed his astrakhan hat and the
vizier placed upon his head the tiara
the yizier mistook the back OF the
crown for the front and had to read
Just II. The weight Of the diadem
was 30 great that the shah had to sup
port 1t with both hands, and, Judging
from the expression Of the royal coun-
tenance, he did not find it comfortable.
