a trip of exploration for him, and the
way he ignored the formal plans for
his entertainment delighted the en-
ployees. Subordinate officials We're
rather anxious that he should inspect
just the things they had spick and
span for him to inspect. but from the
time he landed at Colon he ate and
nosed in and out Of every part of the
canal and led them a merry chase.
The enthusiasm for the daddy of
the project was boundless. and the
shortcomings he noted resulted in bet
ter conditions of employment for the
men.
One evidence of the growing luxury
of living conditions in the canal zone
was the installation on Jan. /. 1907, of
electric lights in the quarters of the
married and bachelor employees at
Empire and Culebra. Other towns
soon were furnished with electricity.
The first public school had been open
ed year before this event, or on Jan.
2, 1906. The summer and fan of 1906
and the winter of 1907 saw another
great controversy raging around the
canal. which. like the battle of the
levels. was to be decided arbitrarily by
President Roosevelt
Chairman Shonts long had entertain
ed the opinion that the canal should
be constructed by private contractors.
He pressed the plan so vigorously and
the popular opinion Of the inefficiency
of the government was so strong that
the president authorized Secretary
Taft to ask for bids on Oct. 8, 1905.
Bids for constructing the canal BY
private contract were opened at Wash
ington on Jan. IL, 1907, and rejected
on the ground that they failed to meet
the requirements of the government
The real reason for rejecting the bids
was that both the country and the adj
miEistration had undergone a change
of heart as to the wisdom of the con-
tract plan.
Another epoch in the life of the ca
nal project was marked by the presi-
dents action in definitely committing
the enterprise to direct government su-
pervision. Chairman Shonts resigned.
effective March 4. 1907. An executive
order then consolidated the offices of
chairman and chief engineer in Mr..
Stevens. On March 16 the remainder
of the commission, except Colonel
Gorgas, resigned, to be followed on
April l by the resignation of Chief
Engineer Stevens. His resignation
came like sickening accident to the
canal employees THE chief" as he
was called Familiarity, had established
himself firmly in their minds and
hearts as thoroughly competent en-.
gineer and just administrator.

ration that his service on the canal has
evoked, but the generality of writer's,
looking at what exists today and heed
less Of the beginnings of the task. lose
their perspective and commonly fall
into the error of ignoring the very re-
markable and wholly vital preparatory
work under John F. Stevens.
President Roosevelt had selected in
MesSrs. Gaillard. Sibert, Rousseau and,
later, Hodges engineers of exceptional
ability, who, with S. B. Williamson.
picked by Colonel Goethals. demon
strated capacities which in a large
measure account for the splendid prog
ress of the Goethals administration.
