Cost Of Feeding Canal Army.


Washington-Feeding the army Of
Panama canal builders is a matter of
tremendous expense, and to keep tab
on the money the government makes a
record of wonderful detail that shows
the cost per meal per man. It is
shown by the annual report of the 18TH
milan canal commission that there are
in operation 19 hotels, 10 European
laborers' messes and 20 common labor
ers' kitchens.
The total number Of meals served at
commission hotels was 2,176, ,451. The
cost of supplies was 24.S7 cents, and
the expense 6.23 cents meal, a total
of little over 81 cents.
The meals served in the European
laborers' messes made a total of l.
092, 487, which cost 1854 cents each
for supplies and expenses. The meals
in the common laborers' kitchen total
ed 781,746, and cost 27.0 cents each.
The average daily attendance during
June in the line hotels was 1915, in
messes 8, 17S, and in kitchens ], 1896.
The average weight of the ration
supplied each person daily in the labor
ers' kitchens was found to be approx
mately AL pounds, with value of
22.26 cents. It is a coincidence that
the net weight of the ration furnished
the European laborer is. exactly equal
to the gross weight of the United
States army garrison, and the net
weight of the ration furnished the
negro laborer, is exactly equal to the
gross weight of the United States
army field ration.

new RAILWAY BUILT FOR
MILES on SALT AND GOLD
Prospectors Excited by Wealth Found
Along Western Pacific.

At many points on the line Of the
new Western Pacific railroad from
Salt Lake City to San Francisco there
was not room enough in the canyon
for both river and railroad, and solid
walls Of masonry had to be built to
carry the tracks above the stream.
At other points the sharp curves in
the canyon have sent the tracks back
and forth from one side to the other
on steel bridges and high trestles. In
building the line material and work
men frequently had to be let down the
sides Of the canyon by ropes hundreds
of feet in length to start construction
on new sections.
Wagon roads are everywhere 1mpOs
sible. At last after endless turnings
and twists in fighting it's way through
$50 miles OF the canyon the tracks
come out into the broad valley at Orc
vile, over which for countless ages
the Feather river has poured debris
from its mountain Businesses.
So much gold did the river bring
down that the soil down to the solid
bedrock is being dug up by dredges
and washed for its gold. Large tracts
of land given over. to olives, oranges
and other fruits are now being torn
to pieces In the ceaseless hunt for gold,
which is being found in such quaint
ties that the miners are beginning to
rival in their wealth the pioneers in
the gold fields of the state.
In contrast to this long stretch OF
canyon scenery is the great salt desert
through which the new road runs after
leaving Salt Lake City. This desert Is
sixty miles long and fifteen miles wide,
composed Of rock salt 81 per cent pure.
Right through the center Of it the
engineers Of the road ran their lines,
and for forty-six miles there Is not
q curve in the tracks. The ties are
laid on bed of solid salt two or three
feet above the level of the plain. The
salt looks like field Of ice and snow,
and it is difficult for the traveller to
realize that his train Is not passing
through w1ntry scene Of the far
north.

GOOD INDIANS STILL LIVING.
CarIisIe's Records Provo Merit Of New
Red Man.

The head Of the Indian school at
Carlisle has been looking into the rec
ords made by the graduates since leav-
ing the institution. He claims that of
514 living graduates only five have
been 80 called failures"
The rest" he says in the Red Man,
"have made a marked success in their
various spheres Of activity. Three
hundred of them are successfully en-
gagged in vocational activities away
from the reservation and have been
forever severed from federal super
vision. No longer content to be wards,
they have speedily become citizens.
The 2O9 engaged at work on the reser-
walton are leaders among their people
and examples Of probity and industry.
"Of the women graduates it will be
noted that 142 are housekeepers. 1t
will thus be seen that their education
has not wcaned them away from mar
ried life. They are the mistresses of
modern homes. nicely furnished, and
their children are being well cared for
and carefully educated. These are not
so called squaws who live in tepees or
hogans, amid the sQualor Of the reser-
walton, but thrifty, industrious wives
and mothers whose homes compare
we'll with the homes Of good white
women in similar circumstances.
Careful records are being gathered
of the more than 1000 students who
have stayed at Carlisle only long
enough to complete partial terms. 1t
has been found from returns which
have already been received that out Of
2,1S9 approximately 81 per cent are
successfully earning their living and
evidence by the uprightness Of their
lives that even the short term spent at
this school has been a vital influence
for good"

Miss Josefa Schneider, q Turkish
subject, resident in Constantnople,
has brought suit for damages against
the state which throws q vivid light
on conditions In Turkey under Abdul
Hamid II. According to the Paris
Eclair, one of Adults daughters fell
seriously i'll in the days when he was
still padishah, and the court physi'
clans recommended an operation for
appendicitis.
Abdul refused to give his consent
until the operation had been performed
on some one else to prove that it was
not dangerous to life. Miss Schneider,
who had recently spent some time In
a Constantinople hospital, was handy,
so she was forcibly taken from her
house and deprived Of her appendix.
Abdul Hamid was convinced, his
daughter was cured, and now Miss
Schneider's suit is part Of his suc-
