Later, bets were declared off by the
referee, and Sawyer applied for his
money. Dugan said he had paid the
bet and the suit resulted. Yesterdays

THE HOUSE OF STAPLES
PANAMA RICHES ARE UNTOUCHED

Ol power With the abundant rain
fall the country is naturally lined
with watercourses. The famous Cha
gres River is, of course, already I'M
pounded. but there are many others
the Torrendo, the Carreno and
Mindi. and some that are not even
named. Nearly all are swift streams,
with many respectable cascades and
falls-the Torrendo, for instance, has
eight falls within mile. II will be
II simple matter to harness them and
settle the power question once and
for all.
After the bulk of the forests has
been cleared away the possibilities of
the country will only begin to be re-
vealed. Camphor and cocoa grow
here as well as anywhere in the
world. Most important of all, rubber
already grows wild in commercial
quantities. and under cultivation the
yield will be enormous.

Unless all signs fail the opening of
the canal will be only the beginning
of the real history of Panama, and
In less degree Of all Central America.
This country Is at present merely
mountain and jungle, and. save for
the sprinkling OF Indians and negroes
along the coast, ii is uninhabted.
Already the Canal-builders have done
II one great service by proving that
white man can do Il good days
work as well here as anywhere, says
writer In Harpers Weekly. More
over, the jungle that covers the land
contains vast wealth in wood. the
most precious varieties Of wood in the
world.
Rosewood, mahogany. lignum-vitae
and ebony, all are to be found, be-
sides the sable tree, which is as yet
practically unknown to commerce, but
whose wood for shipbuilding and SINH
lar purposes is considered superior to
teak. At present the forests are to
all intents untouched. What little
wood finds its way into Panama is
brought In on mulebaCk., necessarily
in small pieces, at prodigious waste.
Yet you can see ebony trees from
your car window along the line of
the Panama Railroad today, With
the introduction Of expert and mod
ern numbering methods, the whole
timber country will lie as open and
easy of access as the palm of your

To this end there will be erected
nj San Francisco on an eminence
overlooking the Pacific ocean, as

size and dimensions, and embrace
the features herein outlined: From
the noof OF 'its base Is the top OF the
great figure of Victory surmounting
its shaft, the tower will be $50 feet

, exterior of the tower will be covered
with marble or some equally durable
and desirable finishing material. The
base of the tower will be 232 feet
square, and 1870 feet high. From the

point a magnificent panorama of the
fair, the city and bay of San Fran
cisco, and much of the surrounding
country can be obtained.
The imposing vastness OF these
proportions as well as the stability
J and repose which this structure Will
present cannot but impart to the be-
holder sense of the majesty of hui
man power. When to this Is added
It's artistic enrichment In the shape
of sculptures, columns, and other or

numbers its victims by the scores of
thousands simply because It is the
natural outcome of the life led by the
average American business man or
wage Garner, and also by his wife.
Where social rank is stratifed, as in
Europe, there is less to tempt a man
beyond a certain amount of endeayor,
and his status is practically fixed, no
matter what he may accomplish. Here,
however, there is hardly any limit to
ambition, and the obscure individual
of today may be the statesman or
financial dictator of tomorrow, with
social precedence limited only by his
desires. The result is a temptation to
an excessive consumption pf the bodily
elements that stoke the physical en-
gine; both thought and action depend
upon a continual supply of albumen
and phosphorus, the foods and con-
stituent elements of the brain and
other nerve centers. To replace these
as they are consumed is the problem
of The American Disease" Both
these essentials are found combined in
a soluble, almost tasteless, powder call
ed Sanatogen, a food tonic based upon
profound study of the constitution of
the nerves and other tissues. A book

rasthenia and it's permanent relief by
Sanatogen has been written by a prom

departure for a $4,000 cargo of Chinese

Clever Espionage.
DAILY was arrested a short time later

his east Boston home had proven futile.
The arrests were the outcome of one
Of the cleverest cases OF espionage in
