MANY BE IN PANAMA.
Canal Has Cost S95 Lives During Last
Four TeaFS-Dynamfte Takes
Big Toll.

Like every other great work OF con-
structivs engineering the Panama; Ca
nal has taken its toll of human life.
There have been accidents, fatal acci-
dents. and many of them. Violent
deaths have been matters Of almost
weekly occurrence.
The use of tons and tons of dynamite
has been responsible for the greater
part of the fatal accidents on the ca
nal work. A new record in the use OF
dynamite has been set by the Amer1-
can engineers who have now brought
the Panama Caral almost to compile
ton. The tremendous rock excavation
in Culsbra cut has necessitated the
continuous use of dynamite il quanti-
ties such as have never been used be-
fore in all the world On any single
niece of construction In addition to
the dangers from the extensive use OF
dynamite the canal workers have eA-
posed themselves to other dangers re-
sulting from the presence Of hundreds
of trains in the canal prism, the loose
ming of huge masses of rock and earth
from work at great elevations from
the use of all sorts of machinery on
the canal proper and in the shops, and
there have also been many drownings
in the last few years of the work as
water began to be admitted to parts
of the canal.
Comparison with French Period.
Complete figures fer the death toll
on the Isthmus during the canal work
are not obtainable in Washington, and
it is doubtful if they are obtainaole
even on the canal itself. It is only
during the last four years that re-
cord of accidents has been kept at the
offices of the canal commission here.
This has followed the enactment Dy
congress of a law providing compensa-
ton for employees injured in the line
of duty and damage: for the heirs OF
employees killed in the cours" OF their
work on the canal. This is aside from
the record of deaths by disease, which,
is kept separately by thG sanitary OF
fcnr Of The Canal Zone, Col. ". I.
Gorgas, and has been constantly nam
fained ever since the canal work W2s
begun. In this connection the Whcle
world knows Of how the lsthmus was
converted into huge burylng ground
during the efforts OF the French to
build the canal by yellow fever and
other epidemic disease: Of tia tropics,
Even during tbs: first yzars Of Amerl-
,,n 2rcupation the death toll from dis
ease was high. The work of Col. Cor
Gas and his assistants has been 80 et-
fective. how yer, that the death rate
ON the Canal Zone, exclusive of acci-
dents. compares most favorably with
that of the heaithiest regions OF the
United States.

Even some old settlers never settle.
Too many people wart to monkey

liars and don't mind 1t.
Giving unsolicited advise is one way

not to talk back to the judge.

Hot Springs, thru the efforts of the
Commercial Club, will at least let the
world know that it is in the race for
securing the location of the Elks

expenses of representatives at the
state and national conventions.

to attend the state convention of Elks
this week. hoping to have Hot Springs
endorsed by that gathering Then
Congressman Martin has consented to
90 to the National convention at
Rochester, N. Y, July 9th and present
the proposition for Hot Springs. The
club got out neat folder presenting
arguments in favor of Hot Syringe.
which will be generously distributed at
Mltcnel1 and Rochester, which folders
will of themselves give this place some
great advertising and should our town
be defeated this advertising of itself
will be worth all that is spent. At
Rochester, it is probable that commit
tee will be appointed to look into the
different locations and it is altogether
probable that Hot Springs will be Wis.
tied by such a committee during the
year. At least such q result is hoped
for, as there is q strong sentiment
among the National Elks to select q
home that is centrally located in the
United States. The representative of
the Lead Elks at Rochester is Jas. g.
Stanley and he, together with the rep.
resentatives from Deadwood and Rapid
City will lend all possible assistance Ia
Congressman Martin in presenting the
claims of Hot Springs.
