 The health of the canal zone is now excellent" said the secretary. The houses generally are protected With screens. and the people seem comfortable and happy. Labor condi- tons have greatly improved in all de. partments, and the new importation of Spaniards as laborers seems to have started rivalry with those at work previously that will be good for the advancement of the work It is i'm pressive to see the spirit of the work enforcing itself. Every soul in the ca nal zone seems to have single am bition-the completion of the great ditch"
 Regarding certain details of the work MT. Taft said that foundations for the great Gatum dam had begun, and were progressing. This immense water barrier will. when completed, produce a lake several miles wide and | twenty odd miles long
 When asked as to the possibilities of concluding the work, MT. Taft said If it was only the matter of digging the ditch should suppose three years were enough time at the present ex cellent rate of progress, but there are 1 other things that We cannot estimate at this time The work on the locks mas not begun except, of course, ir the beginning of the Gatun dam. Bu everything seems encouraging, ant it is such a great undertaking that we will not be thinking of hurry or worry It is going ahead satisfactorily, anC that is gratifying"
