LIFE IN PANAMA
CANAL ZONE
eY MIGUEL De MIRAFLoREs. |

WI
ANCON, Canal Zone, Isthmus Of
Panama, Sept. Your CORE
spondent will be unable to tell all
the news this week, as yesterday
was Labor day, and We took a
prominent part.
The rock breaker is now at work
on the Pacific entrance to our
canal, and all citizens of the zone
are taking just pride in it's wonder
full work. Complete detailed rec
ords are being taken of the work
performed. They are highly inter
esting.
Regular excavations continue at
Miraflores locks. What would have
been a gigantic landslide was
nipped in the bud here last week
by the construction of riprap and a
concrete toe wall. AS it was, there
was no landslide at all.
Labor day was celebrated with
all the pomp and dignity befitting
the occasion. Everybody got a holt
day, except those who worked. This
was due to the kindness of Colonel
Cocktails, who issued a proclama-
ton in Culebra August %, in which
he ordered that work should be
entirely suspended as far as pos
sible."
Another ruling of Colonel Goe-
thals is causing profound regret.
The government meal tickets, is
sued in coupon book form, get lost
sometimes, and If the loser doesn' t
find them hereafter, he will get no
money back. If he does find them,
he will probably use them. "Who
is the loser and who is the win
ner?' is the question of the hour.
If the meal tickets are lost, the
Panama Railroad Co., subsistence
officer andl ocal auditor must be
notified. If the book afterward
should be found, the loser will get
1t back again.
Canal Zone Notes:
Your correspondent had an in
teresting interview with Colonel
Gorgas yesterday, during the
course of which he forbade me
printing it.
There is great rejoicing here
over the news from the commits
sary department. A consignment
of ripe watermelons came in on the
Turrialba from New Orleans last
Thursday. The Alliance brought in
a cargo of peaches, plums. cherries,
celery, lettuce and other vegetables
and fruits from the states. There
would have been enough for every.
