land Of Small Opportunity,

Census reports from the Panama
canal zone give the population there
today as 63.S1O, of which about $4,000
are employees of the canal commission,
the Panama railroad and of the vari-
GUS canal contractors. Generally
speaking, the soil is not suitable for
farming. 1t is not likely that Amer
leans will be attracted, and since
other occupants than Americans. for
obvious reasons, are not desirable,
Colonel Goethals is in favor of the de-
population OF the zone. except SO far
as it will occupied by canal opera
tives and by the military necessary for
the protection Of the canal.

As Will be readily understood, the
commission is able and willing to sell
food at very little above cost Conse-
quently the housewife on the isthmus
can buy at prices that are never above
those in the states. and that nearly
always are considerably lower
An important part of the commits
sary plant is the industrial and OK
perimental laboratory in Cristobal,
where all the foods are tested and
many things, such as flavoring ex-
tracts, are manufactured
The commission conducts more than
a dozen hotels for white Americans.
where good meals are furnished for
80 cents each; a score of mess halls
for European laborers, where a day ;
board costs forty cents. and about
twenty fve kitchens for West indian
laborers, where board casts thirty
cents a day. Something like a million
meals are served each month in these
various establishments, for nearly ev-
cry employe of the commission eats
at a government table. 1t has been
said that no private contractor in
the world feeds his employees as well
as the Isthmian canal commission.
Very few of the men ever ate better
meals than they are getting on the
isthmus, and this is true of the Amer
leans as well as of the Spaniards and
West Indians.
No. you cannot avoid the use of the
superlative degree in speaking about
