COL. GoRGAs AT JOHANNESBURG

COL. GORGAS AT JOHANNESBURG
From the Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal.
Col. William C. Gorgas is going to
Johannesburg to assist that municipality
in combating host of endemic and in
dustrial diseases, as noted in our johann
nesburg notes. OF the three colonels
eminent in Panama canal history, Gorgas
is pre-eminent in the far-reacfling effects
| of his work for humanity. world over
Since the Zacapa, Guatemala, outbreak of
yellow fever, in 1906, that malady has
become so rare in Central America as to
cause it to be considered not endemic
north of the canal. Malarial cases in
cases per 1900 of population in 1906 to 81 per
1000 in 1912. The credit for these records
belongs to Colonel Gorgas and his staff
Time was when sea captains had to
shanghi able bodied seamen to man a ship
bound for Aspinwall, so vicious was the
reputation of that ports insanitary state
So they changed the name, then the
first colonel acquired the canal zone and
sent the second colonel to purge it of dis
ease so that the third colonel and his men
could build the big ditch. The result is
! that Aspinwall has long been forgotten;
there Is no fear of Colon and Panama !;
Ancon and Crstobal have the reputation
| of spas. All this is the result of Gorgas'
work.
Although at an elevation of 5000 feet
| above sea level, johannesburg has been
the center of one of the worlds most
! renowned malaral districts. But of al
most as evil reputation is the prevalence

miners of the Rand. Miners ,phthisis,

ers that the chamber of mines and the
government some time ago determined to

EIGHT STORY HOTEL
 FUTURE ENTERPRISE
It Is Expected That Necessity for 1t
 Will Be Felt This Winter

The removal of the Commercial corral and several small shops from the block at the southwest corner of Jefferson and Center street gave rise to the rumor that the owner of the property, Geo. II. N. Luhrs, was about to begin the construction of an eiGht-story concrete and steel hotel there Notice had been given all the tenants to vacate the block by Nov CnIber 1 and most of them already have secured new locations.
 An inquiry yesterday brought out the fact that the block is being cleared and that in all probability such d hotel will be erected on the block. but the enterprise will not be undertaken this year. It is expected that the coming winter, in spite of the greater facilities of Phoenix for caring for tourists, will demonstrate the need of such a hotel and probably by next winter it will be an accom- pished sact.
 But the removal of the corral has nothing to do with the hotel building. For long time MT. Luhrs has been of the opinion that there was some thing incongruous in a combination of first class hotel on one of the principal corners of a first-c class town and a corral on the opposite corner. Some guests are so fastdious as to object to the odors that seep from a corral when the wind sets right The rickety sheds of the corral and the shops do not add to the appear ance of the hotel. and now that MT Luhrs is putting up a fine building for the Porter Saddle and Harness company just south of the corral, it seemed a good time to order it's re moVal
