NEW PANAMA REGIME
GOVERNMENT OF CANAL ZONE
TO BE CHANGED.
Roosevelt Plan of Organization VIII
Go Into Effect April 15-Three
Denominations Combine for Bet
ter Christian Work.

Changes in the local government on the
canal zone, which will abolish all the
municipal governments now in existence
and result in the harmonizing OF various
parts of the zone. are 70 become effective
April ID. President Roosevelt has signed
executive orders providing for wholesale
changes and Richard Rogers, general
counsel for the isthmian canal commits
sion, will go 10 the canal zone with Sec
rotary Taft and remain there for some
time to assist in recognizing the govern
ment. The five municipal governments in
the canal zone will be replaced by four
administrative districts which will be us-
der the direction of the canal commission
ers. These districts will be known as
Ancon. Emperador. Gorgona and Cristo-
bal. The municipal governments were
found to be wholly unsatisfactory after
complete test and all canal officers are
convinced that the new plan will be far
more satisfactory. 1t will result in the
abolition of the bureau of municipalities
on the iSthmus. which costs about S13.-
600 a year. and will cut off about $4,000
in salaries in the municipal office, making
saving of about $4,000. Many of the
efficient municipal officers will be retained
in various positions under the new form
of government. One of the new executive
orders will authorize legal marriages to
be made on the canal zone by any minis
ter of the gospel Another order will
modify the penal code so as to remove de-
fects found in the original code. 1t is es-
minated that the saving will be 100000
a year.

from the Anglo-American polar expedition
since the expedition left Alaska were re-

by II. 4. Andree, assistant in the local

Nov. p and Nov. % and were carried
over the ice fields to Point Barrow, where
they were delivered to the Canadian

his letter that the Duchess of Bedford

off Point Barrow and that the prepare

for starting on an expedition into the I'M

well goes on to say that, judging from
the tides and from talks with the natises
they have come to the conclusion tina:
large island exists not far from the main
land. The explorers say that the party
may not return from this trip for t1go
years. The weather was moderate at she
time the letters were written. At tat
time the severest cold had been only 10
degrees below zero and on some days the
mercury had reached 10 degrees above.
The entire party of fifteen was in good

Along with the advent of spring busi-
ness generally is seen to have acquired
further momentum. No corresponding
period in previous wears was entered upon,
with production. distribution and trans
portation more largely engaged. and it
is remarkable index of industrial
strength that demands and costs exhibit
no reaction. Labor problems attract at
tenton. but the difficulties obtain prompt
treatment, thereby avoiding the danger
from spread of strikes. y gratifying
feature is the Improvement in railroad ia
cilitieS, less complaint of car shortage
now being current.
DiStributive trade has responded
promptly TO the stimulus of seaSonabie
weather. The wholesale markets are yet
attended by mGaY outside buyers, heavy
purchases of Sp sis and summer merchan-
disc make healthy reduction of ware
house stocks. and there is little diminu
ton IN the pressure upon shipping rooms,
country merchants insisting upon prompt
forwardings. Despite high rates for money
