Receipts Of Cotton
Continue to Increase

With Chickasha prices for seed cot.
ton slightly IN advance and with the
cotton opening well, the receipts at the
local gins have more than doubled in
the past week and from the predic-
tions Of local gin men, the season will
be on in full blast within another week.
Cotton from a radius Of rs miles is
coming to the Chickasha gins.
The price quoted for seed cotton to-
day is from $3.50 to 1885 and local
ginners state that the staple is getting
better every day and that from an es-
innate the cotton in the immediate
territory win yield from IA to X bale
per acre.
The fact that the cotton compress
is receiving daily shipments is evi.
dence that gins all over the country
are busy with the fleecy staple. This
morning the compress received 35 cars
Of cotton over the Rock Island.

among our 80 odd thousand employees
was less than eight to the 1000, and
among the white Americans who work
on the canal it was less than three
to that number. The death rate in
New York of all causes was about
16 per 1000, and in many other cities
Of the United States it is very much

During my talk asked Col Gorgas
something as to the Panama of the
past and whether it was really as bad
as was painted. He replied:
We found it 50 when we took
charge here in 1904. The official pilot
chart used at that time described the
lsthmus as the hottest, wettest and
mots feverish region on earth It said
that intermittent and malignant few
ers were prevalent, and that there was
an epidemic Of yellow fever at times.

crossed to the Pacific about 1920 found
It so, and at the time of the discovery

Death and Disease Among French.

Death and Disease Among French.
1t was equally bad in the days Of
the French canal was ii not2'
If we may believe the stories it was
beyond description, awful. Sir Claude
Mallet, the present British minister al
Panama, who was then British consul
here and as such had the administra-
ton of the estates of the British sub
jects who died on the work, tells me
that he had from 800 to 500 such es-
tates to settle every month. Our death
rate, calculated on force of 10000,
would amount TO only 29 per month,
and those British deaths were among
the subjects of John Bull only.
1t is hard to get accurate statistics
of just how many died under the
French We know that they had good
hospitals and that the sick in them
were well cared for, but the cantract-
ors had TO pay a dollar a day for their
men who were kept in the hospitals.
and you can easily see that the Ordi-
nary contractor would send no more
than he had to. From the best infor-
nation 1 can get I believe that the
French lost 10000 laborers by death
during the work of the first company
on the canal, and that would make a
death rate per annum Of about 25 per
cent or more than 250 per 1000 I doubt
if we could have done better if we had
known no more Of tropical diseases
than they did
What Sanitation Did
Under those conditions. could we
have built the canal, Col. Gorgas?" I
asked.
1T would have been very difficult to
have gotten our white employees to
come here We had trouble to hold
them during the yellow fever time Of
1905. You must also consider that the
deaths among the French were very
largely among the white French en-
ployes. According to the records OF
their hospital here, they had more than
1000 yellow fever deaths during nine
years, and those were mostly French
men.
1t is safe to say that there were as
many more deaths from yellow fever
among the same class outside the hos
uitals.
Now the French while employees
averaged only a few over 1000, and
this means that they lost four-fifths
of their whole force in nine years. or
eleven siXteenths in five years. Dur
ing our first five years the number Of
our white force was on the average
only little more than 5000. If we
had lost at the same rate as the
French we would have already buried
more than 1000 of those white men
from yellow fever alone, and according
to the same calculation we should have
had about $4,000 white men. here in
Panama to have kept our forces at
work If we had had that many we
