Secretary William II. Taft
and the Panama Canal Work

cial referred to earlier says in allu-
sion to conditions among the en-
ployes that whereas a few years ago
1t was impossible to talk among the
employees without hearing many COM
plants, now the talk is of the pro-
gress of the work and how much moro
dirt is being dug in this division than
in that one. Esprit de corps. Of a
high order, Is manifest throughout
the whole body OF canal employees from
top to bottom.
Col. George w. Cocktails, chairman
Of the canal commission and chief en-
gineer, is given large credit for thu
conditions that now obtain in Pan
anna. Colonel Goethals deserves much
credit but not all Of it. Indeed Col.
Gothals would be the first one to admit
that highly important work was done
by others. His predecessors, Shonts
and Stevens, had to encounter difH.
cult conditions to overcome great
obstacles, Shonts, as chairman Of
the commission, did much to cut tho
restrictive ties Of red tape. Stevens
did a large work in the direction of
perfecting the canal organization. It
was under Stevens that the first big
feats of excavation were accomplish.
ed, and the dirt really began to fly.
The work Of Colonel Gorgas in way
of sanitation has been little short OF
wonderful. When Colonel Goethals
took hold Of things he found a well
ordered machine awaiting the hand of
the right kind of master, Colonel
Goethals has proven himself that mas
ter. No canal official these days
talks Of the canal in any terms but
those of enthusiasm and it is safe to
say that the wonderment of the civil
lied world is going to be excited by
the possibilities of American accom-
plishment before this canal project
has gone forward much longer.
1t has not been long since the canal
officials looked on the rainy season as
at time when almost no excavation
could be accomplished. Now, all this
has changed. The last monthly report
on the canal that is available is for
May. 1t shows that In that month
2,525,S87 cubic yards were excavated.
Compared with May, 1907, this is L.,
$50 1877 cubic yards greater notwith.
standing the fact the mean rainfall
of lat inches was 7.6 inches greater.
The death rate was about ten per
thousand in May of this year as com.
pared with thirty per thousand for
May, 1907.

terday mar Clifland, by Joe Robson,
who was fishing near that place, were
brought to Ottumwa late in the after

where. In case Of serious accident or
illness please notify nobody" This
together with the other contents of
his pockets makes it evident that the
man is a Maynard tramp. In his peck
cts were found a towel, a blue hand
kerchief, a looking glass, a spool of
thread, a needle and a comb.
Undertaken G. 7. Sullivan brought
the remains to his undertaking rooms
on West Second street, where they
were kept owe night. Coroner Box
viewed the body this morning and or.
dered it buried as 1t was considered
a useless task to endeavor to find
any relatives.
1t is not known whether the MAI
met his death accidentally or whether
he committed suicide, but the former
seems more rational.
The body was inferred in the Ottum.
wa cemetery this morning at 1880
o'clock.

Pardon Signed BY

Is Years too Late

Columbus, Ohio, July Eighteen
years after George Swanston complet-
ed his n year sentence in the peni-
tertiary for violating the United
States pension laws, having been sent
up from Youngstown, a full and COM
plete pardon arrived at the institution
yesterday, signed by Benjamin Harri-
son, then president of the United

1t is probable that the letter has
been lying in some ~postofice for
