Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Presi dent Roosevelt Sunday made public a report submitted to him on August ( by special commission consisting oi James Broanson Reynolds, Samuel B Donnelly and Henry Beach Needham regarding conditions in Panama. The commission was appointed April 25, last
 That the president is pleased with the report is shown in a letter which he sent to each member of the com. mission on Friday. He expresses par. ticular pleasure over the fact that the commission upholds the administration of Col. George w. Goethals, chairman of the Isthmian Canal commission and the president has had a copy of the report mailed to Col Goethals re questing that the recommendations made by the commission be put into effect immediately so far as possible, The president will submit the report to congress with appropriate recon. mendations.
 The commission reports that it 'in. spected the entire line of the canal excavation from Laboca, the southern or Pacific terminus to Cristobal, cle northern or Carribean terminus, and travelled through the excavation sev- eral times, interviewing the men at work. Tn indicating the scope of the inspection the commission reports that it visited the government workshops, construction plants, warehouses, ship yards, dredges, commissary stores. living quarters G. e. hotels, messes, Kitchens, camps) schools. club houses, courts, police stations and the con valescent home at Taboga."
 Of the progress of the work the re port says:
 "This year over two and a thrid million cubic yards were excavated in each of the winter months-the dry season in Panama--1, ,000,0 900 yards be. ing approximately equal to a square mile one foot deep. To prepare this immense mass for removal, 405 tons Of dynamite were used per month and to make the dirt fly to this extent 32 95. ten steam shoyels, g 70-ton, ) 45-ton and 2f others were in constant use, A total of 4.1t1 cars and 302 locomo- tives moved this mass to the dumps A fleet of IS lerges. 15 dredges and S1 other vessels were at work in the dredging service.
 After giving a detailed description of the method of work on the canal and the amount of machinery and labor involved the report continues;
 When we recall that this enormous plant is operated at distance of 1875 miles from its main base of supplies New York-we can estimate with more justice and accuracy the magnitude and complications of the undertaking On April 30 last 26,11S men were actually at work for the lsthmian Canal commission and 7,0I5 at work for the Panama railroad-a total Of 3,193,"
 A revision of the wage schedule will be worked to advantage the com mission finds. The report deals with this subject as follows:
 "The wage scale should be simph' fed, the grades reduced in number, and the same pay and hours required for similar service for the lsthmiau Canal commission and the Panama railroad. Much cause for existing complaints would be eliminated oy the above mentioned changes

POLK COUNTY
 AT STATE FAIR
rommittee to Have Charge of State Fair Exhibit Meet and Get Ready for Nork-More Exhib-
 its Wanted.

The committee, which Is to have charge of Polk county s display at the Arkansas State Fair which opens at Hot Spring s Oct. 12, met at A. D. Carden's real estate office last night and organized by electing El I. Wolfe chairman and k. k. St. John secretary. This committee is composed of the superlntendeuts of the various departments of the Meua Fair aud at the meet ing held last night reports were made showing that the best of the displays at this fair have been preserved for the State Fair. All of the perishable ex- hibits, such as fruit aud vegeta- bles have been shipped to Hot Springs and placed on cold storage there. The grain and farm products are stored in Mena.
 Owing to the fact that at the time Mena's fair is held there are many of the products of the or chard and farm that are not ma tured, the committee expects to make a big effort 10 collect much more and much finer articles to add to the present exhibit. In many instances exhibitors at this years fair told the superintend- ents that a little later ia the sea- son they could furnish certain products much better than those they were displaying. In each instance they were asked, and in response, promised to bring them ln.
 AL the meeting Tuesday night the committee decided at this lime to ask all Polk county pro- ducers 10 save their very best of everything that Is produced in this county, fruit, farm products, vegetables, minerals, everything that will make a good showing. When the product is at its high est state ot perfection send 1t to The Star office, where il will be taken charge of by the member of the committee who was in oh arge of the department to which 1t belongs at the Mena Fair.
 Then the exhibit will be tagged with the name and address of the producer and stored until the shipment is taken to Hot Springs. There all will be entered as a whole in contest for the best county display and each article also entered in the name of it's owner for special premiums which will be sent to the owner through the Mena Fair Association.
 If the present collection can be added to from the best that is matured between now and October l, there is splendid chance for Polk county to win the gold medal for the best county exhibit and many individual premiums.
