ADVANTAGES OF
PANAMA CANAL
Continued From Page One)

Fifteen million dollars i15,00O,-
OO0) year is estimated, will be nee
essary to maintain the canal and pay
three per cent. interest on the investment.
| Twenty-seven-hundred people will con-
stitute the force for the operating of the
canal. The President or his authorities,
will appoint the employees, and their sal
aries are to be twenty-five per cent. above
the standard in the United States in addition
to the free quarters, medical attendance,
| fuel, lights, hospital service, etc. The
head of the force on the Canal Zone will
| be known as the Governor of the Panama
Canal. He will be appointed for a four
year term with salary of $40, 600 year.
When the announcement was made to
the country that the work of the building
the canal was to be done by the Army, no
one knew who Major Goethals was. 1t
was then published that he was born in
1858, of Dutch parents, whose ancestors
had settled in New Amsterdam, the present
New York. Col. Goethals graduated from
West Point in 1885 and was entitled to en-
ter the Engineer Corps of the Regular
Army. In 1891 he was ranked as Captain
and in 1898 become Lieutenant Colonel
and Chief Engineer of the First Volunteer
Army Corps in Cuba. He was honorably
discharged that year and in 1900 became a
Major in the Engineer Corps of the Regu-
lar Army. When he took charge of the
work at Panama, he was promoted to Lieu
tenant Colonel. He has earned the title of
the "Great Digger" as well as the great
est engineer of the age. His motto was,
'sdig the most dirt with the least money,
and he lived up to it always.
We all feel proud of the United States,
what 1t has done, and what it stands for;
but we should all feel like giving three
cheers for those two names that go hand in
hand Goethals and the Panama
Canal

All right, Uncle John, we'll see what
can be done.
A lot of work for the repair department
was turned out by the painters last week.
3-horse and 4-horse bitches are being
packed now, and are keeping about half of
the packing force busy.
Shorty says he enjoys Turkish bath;
but this idea of taking plunge in tank
of turkey-red paint is not what the Usher
cracks it up to be.
Did you ever see Tom White, of bur-
Iesque fame? We have dead-ringer for
him in this shop, Happy Hooligan. Hap
py's art is unconscious, though.
Stub poles, for tongue-trucks, are now
coming down from the wood shop. Quite
bit of packing to be done on these poles,
and it is planned to shift some of them to
the crew in E shop.
Diana, of the green vat, our $40, 900
prize novelty, is now painting elevators.
At least. so he says. An untutored eye

not so.

Several of the Irvine factory officials
spent the holiday last week on business
trip to the Twin Cities.
Spring housekeeping: Leo T .extirpated
some of the superfluous accumulation
from our Office the other day.
Capt. Maish, foreman of the machine

recovered from slight indisposition.
1t is keeping the rope room on the jump
to supply the necessary tie bands; so far
Mr.. Henderson has been equal to the

two mills.
System Mol, producing manila 600 feet,
carried off the prize for March, system
Nos was close second with No.2 in
third place; consequently, No. finished
in its numeral order. Each of the systems,
however, deserve great amount of credit
for the showing they made; and the way
they have started off this month the win
ming is not going to be an easy job for any
one system.
Last holiday one of our acquaintences
suggested this advise: When migration is
extemporaneously proffered through the
magnanimity of the simultaneous conclu-
sion of the tribunal who exercises the
prerOgative of our incarceration; let us go
forth to propitiate for the righteousness
that has so effectually obliterated our
liberty; let us live an abstemious existence
and walk in the paths of rectitude that our
compeers may not harbor obfuscating or
adverse Authorizations of our laborious eff
forts, our unfeigned, unvarnished and in
artificial sincerity; let us eschew degrade
tionary environments. In other words, let us
live simple and honest life with simple
and honest people; speak plainly and
never use big words.

SHOP K (Old Prison)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Would it not be nice if we could all do

Shop K has been having an epidemic of

Uncle John is right in saying that news
is as scarce as hens teeth; cause, for
fact, there hasn't been birth, marriage or
divorce in this locality for a dogs age.
Some people will tell you to make your

to go back to let them know he got back

A short time ago there appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post an autobiography
(annonimous) by an ex- author, who claimed
that although he had had good many
short stories published, and as we'll, sew
eral books, he had been unable to accumu-
late any wealth. AT the time of his pres
ent writing he claimed to be practically
poor man. One could not doubt that he
had never made a success of writing, when
he used such words as lent for loaned, and
them for those, in his autobiography

FOUNDRY SPARKS

Nope, my pair of dove eggs, were white.

Several new crucibles for melting brass,
arrived one day last week.

soon, then, SO is our daily bath.

The entertainment on Good Friday was
good, especially the colored family from
Alabama.
Jobbing work with plenty of moulders
men coming this way looking for work,
see business agent.
The band did exceptionally we'll on
Easter morning-or maybe it was the white
linen coats they wore.
There is right and a wrong way to do
everything. You had an example of the
right way to tap a cupalo, one evening last
week, no sparks flying there, that is head
work.
This shop in 1890 was used by the
Minnesota Chief Thresher Co., in making
their castings. They built engine, seper-
ator and stacker at this prison then. At
that time, it was as now, both citizens and
convict moulders. The shop is somewhat
changed since then, that is the north
end of it. There were two cupalos, one on
each side of the main gang way. The one
that was in use at that time has been re-
moved. You can notice OH the wall where
it stood. Where the core room now is, was
the chipping room, the room was only
about twelve feet wide, with brick wall
on the south; between the cupalo and this
brick wall, was the RATHER room. The
core room was where the brass furnace
now stands. 1t was about the same dim
ension as chipping room, 12x30 feet Also
bricked off from cupalo, No. 2, or the
one now in use, The core room oven was
in south east corner of room. If you will
notice there is double door at the north
west corner of this shop, inside those doors
is, or rather, was another foundry, fully as
large as this one, but not in use in 1890.
A few men worked there in 1889. The cupalo
in that shop was far larger than the one in
use now. The brass foundry was parti-
toned off in the northwest corner of same
shop. In 1893 all moulding was done by
convicts with the exception of one citizen
moulder and the foreman. The officer in
charge of shop then was Bloom, father of
our general core room foreman.
