PICKED UP FOR DEAD,
BUT STILL ENTHUSIASTIC

~ 1890 Wv
In the American Magazine Ray STAN
nard AXE gives a remarkable account
OF Colonel Goethals and the extraor-
binary manner In which ne has dug
the Panama canal. The following ex-
tract shows how he has managed to get
up enthusiasm among his men:
When Cocktails first went TO Pana-
ma the work was organized on what
may be called the horizontal system
that Is, the canal was considered as
q wholes, and one commissioner had
charge Of all the lock work, another of
the excavation, and so on: but after q
short trial OF this method Goethals re-
organized the entire work on what
may be called a perpendicular basis.
He divided h canal into three divis-
ions--Atlantic, Central and Pacific
and placed each, of them under q SUI
p~erintendent. Two OF these superin-
tendente, Colonies Sibert and Gillard,
were army engineers and members OF
the Canal commission. and the third,
Mr.. Williamson, was a civil engineer.
Rivalry was instantly awakenedbe-
tween these divisions.
They are putting In concrete at

Miguel. You aren't going to let

amounts OF excavation done, cement
used, iron work put in, and the results
were published from week to week in
the Canal Record, The struggle has
come to infect all classes OF wOrkmen.
