The Panama Canal
VII-LIVINo CONDITIONS.

Christobal, Canal Zone. July 10
Especial Correspondence of The Re
publican Here is located the big
commissary of the Isthmus Every
year it buys a couple of million dol
lars worth of stuff from the states,
including all the fOodstuffs furnished
to the householders of the canal zone.
This commissary is one of the things
which makes life or the isthmus toll
cradle. 1t sells the individual am
ploye the best of everything at cost
plus a ver- narrow margin.
This commissary is nothing more or
less than a big department store with
branches in every town on the isthmus.
It's prices are astonishingly low when
one thinks how far they have brought
things. A suit of linen selling for sew
en- dollars in the states can be bought
here for five. Bottled buttermilk, as
fresh as if Just from the churn, can
be bought as low as in New York, Chi
cago or St Louis. Strawberries and
watermelons can be bought as advan-
tageously here as in any good market
III the states
All the beef comes through the COM
missary and one gives his or
der just as he would send it to
his corner grocer in the states, and it
is filled just as promptly. When it
gets home he finds that he has paid
less for corresponding cuts of meat
than he would have to pay in any
leading American city. 1t is fine meat
he gets, big, juicy steaks and roasts
that would make the heart of the av-
GRACE American householder glad.
In the cit- o. Washington where
there is as high a class of beef eaters
as in any city in the country, because
of its large per centage of salaried
people, only ten per cent of the beef
sold to consumers b. one of the lead7
ing Chicago packers is prime beef.
One fourth of the remainder is the
second grade, and the remaining two
thirds is third grade meat. Here on
the Isthmus no third grade beef is
brought in. 1t is all good to prime,
and no less an authority than Chief
Engineer GoethaIs himself. says that
he cannot buy as good beef in Wash
ingtOn as he gets every day at Guile
bra. Any one who has eaten the Is
thmian canal commissions hotel fare
day after day will concede the SPLEEN
did quality of their beef, and the same
kind is supplied to the householders.
The same is true of everything, whe-
Their it is something to eat, something
to wear, or something with which to
furnish a home. And everything is
delivered at the housewives door, the
perishable articles directly from the
refrigerator cars. So far as this phase
of life on the Isthmus is concerned,
there is little left that could reason
ably be desired.
Married folks get the long end of
the proposition on the isthmus. Those
who bring their families are given
married quarters as rapidly as posi-
bic. If the employe is low salaried
man he is given furnished apart
ment of four rooms and bath. If he
is getting a few hundred dollars more
he is given a five-room house or
apartment. The man getting still
more gets a sixroom house and so on,
the houses being Of a character com
mensurate with the position of the
man-abOut the same sort of accom-
mOdations he would rent for himself,

of the unmarried men live two in
room, and they are usually permitted
to arrange things so that friends can
room together.
Every precaution is taken to make
all hands comfortable. One of the I'M
pleasant things about living on the
Isthmus is the mustiness. 1t prevades
everything It's half-brother rust, is
no better. They plague ones foot
steps wherever one goes. The COM
mission is putting in drying rooms
wherever possible. When a family
has a piano the commission will put
an electric light into it. so as to pre-
serve the instrument from mould and
rust All of these little details are
cited to show the manner in which
the commission deals with its force.
There is just now a great deal of
complaint among the employees be-
cause they are required to go all the
way to the states to spend their six
weeks vacation. The expense is
heavy, and in many instances it takes
as much as three weeks of sea and
land travel to spend six weeks all told.
1t is the policy of the commission to
require the employees to go to a cool
climate, on the ground that a vacation
in the torrid zone has little benefit to
offer. There is a movement on foot
to allow them to go to Costa Rico,
and Jamaica's climate will also prob
ably be inquired into. This would
give the employees an opportunity to
go to recuperating place in short
time and at little cost.
The advantages which are enjoyed
by canal employees is shown when
compared with outsiders. American
beef costs the outsider nearly double
as much as it does the employee
American beer costs him twenty-five
cents per bottle. Cigars which sell at
the outside stores for fifteen and twen-
ty cents are sold in the commissary to
employees for five. When the out
slider goes to Panama from New York
he puts up eighty or ninety dollars
for the trip. The canal employee gets
it for twenty. Laundry rates to the
outsider are double. or more than
double, what they are at the commits
sion laundries Room and board at
the TivOli is 1915 a day to the out
slider. To the canal employee it is
just about one-half. Colonel Cocktails
sized up the living conditions on the
Isthmus to dot when he said:
1T is paternalism run mad, but if
we are to dig the canal it is neces-
sary"

EMBEZZLER OF GUN
AND OTHER PROPERTY
The Authorities Would Like to Con-
meet With One G. D. Wright.

Some inquiry is being made for a
man who called himself G. ID. Wright
and who is more than suspected of
having embezzled shotgun and of
having obtained money by false repre-
sentation. on July 16, a well dressed
individual drove up in front Of Pinney
& RObinson's and said that he wanted
to go hunting. He desired to hire
gun for a day and he wanted a couple
of boxes of shells. He would pay the
bill on his return in the evening. He
said his name was G.. ID. Wright. His
manner was so matter of fact and his
appearance was so genteel that his re-
quest was readily complied with. He
took the shells, the gun, an $3.50
weapon in a case, and drove away.
He did not return that night and the
firm of Pinney & Robinson has since
