pleasant days in Black river fishing.

that time and Conrad" knew how
to fool the finny tribe. Being so
successful in that line aided me IN

We attended regularly those
friendly meetings every spring and
summer. Conrad" was considered
then a good canoe or boat man and
an expert swimmer, and the girls
would rather trust themselves on
the water with him than with most
of the other young fellows. Yes'
there were the Smith, the Burgess

Many Thousands of UnskilIed
L-aborers Cause LaWleSS-

az AaeeerATEp rRess,

PANAMA, April 1S-A serious prob
lem confronts the auth critics of the
Canal zone and the republic OF Pan
anna because of the increasing num-
Der of unemployed men.
Within the last year many thous-
ands of unskilled canal workers have
been thrown upon their own re-
sources because there was no more
work for them. In almost every case
they have saved no money for rainy
day. The result has been an 1ncreas-
ing amount of lawlessness running
particularly into the line of petty
burglaries.
For unskiIled labor there is now
absolutely no demand either on the
isthmus, the outlying provinces Of the
republic or the neighboring republics
Of Central and South America. The
proposed government railway in the
province of enrique is expected to
afford some relief, but the hope Of its
early start is not at all bright here
There is little or no other constitute

tween DIR. w. B. Conway, Republic

In the case OF the Fifth ward, there

The vote on recount i nthe Fifth

for Brown. In the Second ward the
recounted vote stood 243 for Smith

OF the election The recounted vote
was also discovered to be three short
