 Much Experience.

Washineton.- George w. toe thaIs IT. S. A.. has been selected to head the group of three government engineers who will complete the work on the isthmus. Maj. Goethals is re- parded as a most efficient engineer and has had a great deal of experl- ence. The army officers who Will nave charge of the work will receive more nav than American army officers have ever been given before. Maj. Gosthals as engineer in chief will receive S2,ooo more than Admiral Dewey. The pres ident has indicated that Maj, Goethal salary as engineer would propahly be fixed at $15,000.
 "The wheel horse of the force IS what Maj. Goethals has come to pc called in the army engineer corps. He sets the pace for the rest, He IS the protege of Secretary of War Ial' and the chief of engineers, Gen. MIG Kenzie, The latter admits he likes Goethals, but will not admit tha' there are not 50 other engineers in his force, all just as good, and ne will add if the private engineers are worth $30,0o0 a year, then these men are worth $50,000
 Mai. Goethals is said to know more about the actual doings in connection with the Panama canal administra' ton and work than any other man in Washington. The reason is that he has been Tafts special agent for the Panama business, He went with the

shelter was built, and the valuable
furs were placed under cover. In
silence the two ate their meal Of penn
mican, uncheered by tea, uncrowned
by the comforting plpe-and for weeks
they had looked forward to those

Dark woods and white plains stretched
away for miles; but not a sign of the

took her place and peered into the
dusky treasure.house.
There hung shirts Of red flannel
and blue; gaudy blanketings; WOODEN
stockings OF many hues, with dang
ling tassels; and here and there he
caught the CLEANS from canisters Of
tobacco and tea. At one end OF the
dusty counter stood little kegs Of
gun-powder and ieaden bullets. And
as he searched for other treasures
with longing eyes. he caught the shad-
ows OF the squaw's face against the
window In the opposite wall of the

called to her ansrily. But pity for
