"and then write about it?" 'Yes," I replied on one occasion, "but isn't it possible to tell in a newspaper or what mav be seen of the canal in twelve So let it be understood that was at Panama only from 6 a. m. to 7 p. and that I am only attempting to give an idea of how the canal looks to a hurried traveler. No writer has ever made me see Panama with my mind's eye as I actually saw it with my two physical eyes.

Somehow I imagined that the Panama railroad ran through a great deal of tropical swamp. On the contrarv, it winds around through mountain vallevs, and a. railroad -ride across the isthmus would be worth while for the scenery, even if the trip did not afford a view of the great canal at two or three points. Here is another thing I did not understand; the railroad, completed in 1855, follows the route which was after- wards adopted for the canal, and it will be necessary to rebuild thirty-five miles of the forty-eight miles of railroad across the isthmus. This work is being carried forward, in connection with the canal work, and the new roadbed is being used at several points.

The Panama canal is the biggest undertaking in the history of man. Thir-tj'-nine thousand men are employed; if I understood Colonel Goethals correctly, thirty thousand of these are negroes, four thousand Spaniards, and five thousand- Americans. To properly feed and house this army of men is another great problem, and along the forty-eight miles of the canal may be seen many populous towns, mostly built by the Americans. Indeed, in making the railroad trip across the isthmus, you are almost never out of sight of towns or villages, most of the houses being of the modern tropical construction, with verandas all around them. And in and about these houses, which are mostly of two and three stories, you see swarms of women and children; families of the employes.

The route of the canal and railroad is not only different from what I expected (winding, as it does, through mountains), but the houses along the line are of better construction than I expected. When you see Panama, you will say as I did: "It is better in every way than I expected." The laborers are better dressed than I expected to see them; it is no hardship to work at Panama LE DITCH AT COLON Atchison Editor Inspects Government Canal Which Will Connect Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. WILL COMPLETE DITCH BY 1915. Colonel Goethals Tells Howe That Work May Be Finished Sooner, But Not Later Than 1915 Great Number of Laborers Employed. Tuesday, February 1.

It is pleasant for a traveler from a country town to receive a telegram on a railroad, train, from the. bands of the conductor; it is also pleasant to have one's name called out in the lobby of the Waldrdf hotel, in New York. But it is most pleasant of all to a traveler from a country town, to be sought out by a strange gentleman on the deck of a steamer in a foreign port. I had this agreeable "experience this at Colon, in the Panama republic Mateel and I were standing on the deck of the "Moltke," ready to go ashore to accompany the railroad excursion along the route of the Panama canel. Two strange appeared on deck, the ship having docked.

They met a steward, and inquired -for me. The steward pointed me out, and one of the strange gentlemen introduced himself as the representative of the Hamberg-American steamship line in Colon. He then introduced the other gentleman: J. Smith, superintendent of the Panama railroad. Mr.

Smith said his private car was attached to the rear of the excursion train, and would be at my disposal during the day. I stammered my thanks, and began collecting my party, Mr. Smith departing after saying he could not accompany us, but would send F. W. Fitch the trainmaster.

The train was run across the isthmus to Panama, stopping at several points along the canal, including the Gatun (pronounced the site of the big dam and locks, and at Culebra, the site of the big cut. At Gatun, Colonel Geo. V. Goethals, chairman of the canal commission, joined us. At Panama, after luncheon, we left on a regular train for Culebra, where we were taken through the bottom of the cut a distance of nine miles, on Colonel GoethaFs motor car.

Then we were brought back to Culebra station, where the excursion train stopped for us, at 4:40 in the afternoon. I think we were thus specially honored because we were accompanied by Miss Eleanor of Leavenworth, sister-in-law of Congressman Dan Anthony, a mem-bee -of the military committee of Congress. And the Panama canal is being built by army engineers. But however it happened, we saw all it was possible to see of the canal in 12 hours. Colonel Goethals has been prominent among army engineers for 30 years, and looks to be between 50 and GO' years old.

His hair is perfectly white, as is his mustache. He is the most perfectly tanned man I have ever seen, from exposure to the tropical sun, as he walks over the work a great deal, in addition to riding from place to place ort the Panama railroad in an open motor car. You probably know that Colonel Goethals tis czar of the isthmus he is not only at the head of the canal work, but president of the Panama Railroad and Steamship company, and it is said of him that he has more power in the republic of Panama than the president of the republic. Colonel Goethals impressed me not only as a very polite and intelligent man, but as a very tirea one. I remember his saying, as we sat in the observation end of Superintendent Smith's private car, that he had the most disagreeable job in the world.

I have always thought I had that job; probably you think you have it. But after looking over the Panama canal for 12 hours I waive my claims in honor of Colonel Goethals. I regret to say that Colonel Goethals does not seem to like newspapers. He says he never reads and intimated several times during the day that they are unfriendly and unfair to the canal enterprise. 1 "So you are to spend twelve hours here," he said to me several times, SPRING mo KNOX DERBY $5.00 "BEACON" SOFT AND STIFFHATS $3.00 SAM THE HOUSE El i fi CT EUOYET TO BE- DEPORTED WHEN RELEASED When Pierre Guoyet Leaves Federal Prison Saturday Will Be Taken to New York and Sent to France.

ENGAGED IN WHITE SLAVE TRADE. Pierre and His Brother, Adelp Brought i Women to Montana from France for Immoral Purpose Jack Glynn to Take Him to New York. It is reported that when Pierre Guoyet, a white slaver in the Federal Penitentiary, completes his time Saturday he will be arrested by an official of the United States Bureau of Immigra-tion, who, in company with John T. Glynn, will take him to New York City, whence he will be deported to France. Pierre Guoyet, who was sentenced to prison for two years for importing a woman from France for immoral purposes, came to the United States many years ago with his brother and settled in Montana.

Prior to this offense for which they were imprisoned the two brothers bore good reputations. They fell in with a gang of outlaws and sharpers in Helena and finally drifted into the white slave trade. Both Pierre and Adolph Guoyet werft apprehended by the government immigration inspectors and tried. It was shown by the government that loth of them were implicated in the importation of the women. Pierre was sentenced to two years and his brother to one year and six montihs.

Adolph Guoyet finished his term two months ago and was deported to his native land as Pierre will be when his time here is ended. The federal statutes on the subject of the deportation of criminals relates to those aliens who have committed specified crimes. Persons who have taken out naturalization papers cannot be deported from this country as they are then citizens. MTOWN HUNT TO INSTRUCT HIS CORPS OF DEPUTIES.

These meetings will be held in the assessor's office or in the county commissioners' roof. Hunt's purpose in calling the meetings is to instruct his deputies in assessing property. OLD FRENCH CiTY TO ENTERTAIN' SHRINERS New Orleans Will Be Given Over to Carnival of Mirth in April To Have Mask Day.

New Orleans, Feb. 22, 1910. New Orleans will have a second carnival in April. This will be for the entertainment of the members of the Mystic Shrine who attend the thirty-sixth session of the Imperial Council April 10-15. Mayor Martin Behrman will shortly issue a proclamation granting the privilege of what is known as promiscuous masking; in other words, giving the people of New Orleans, and every one of the visitors, the right to go about the streets of the city in costumes and masks that might best strike their fancy.

Another particularly bright feature in connection with the entertainment plans of Perusalem Temple's executive committee, is the arrangement for the reproduction of one of the most magnificent street pageants ever witnessed in this or any other city in the United States. This will be in line with the rich carnival parades given by Rex, king of the carnival, and the 'different exclusive clubs here every year. There will be no less than twenty-three floats in the parade and each will represent a subject that will be interesting, entertaining and fascinating in every respect. "Shriners' Day" will be April 14th. It is on that day that promiscuous masking will be allowed.

The street pageant will be given on to the evening of the same day. The annual Shriners' ball will be given on the night of April 14. This will take place in the historic Fren-'h opera house at Toulouse and Bourbon streets, in the heart of the Latin quarter, where a number of the celebrated Fivnch and Italian singers have made their debut. It is also the same playhouse in which all the fashionable carnival balls are given each year. WeakLunqs Ask tottr doctor to nante the heat -family medicine for coughs, colds, bronchms, wal lungs.

22. "A kiss for a convert!" will be the next woman suffrage slogan if Mrs. Alma Webster Powell has her wav. With arguments and logic and even sticks and stones, she says, women are unabie to break down the doors of the capitol, whereas the gentle suasion of a few tender caresses would cause those doors to open. Oscillatory operations would far surpass militant methods in the war of the women, she maintains.

"There isn't a man in America whose vote cannot be bought for a kiss she cried at a Brooklyn club meeting, the other day. Last night at the suffrage ball. she went further. "If the suffrage party would only delegate some pretty girl to attempt the personal conversion of each Senator and Assemblyman at Albany she said, "the women of New York would get the ballot without another effort. "I don't mean anything awful," she continued "at the worst, merely a slight sacrifice of personal dignity.

A kiss isn't a crime merely a blunder now and then. If there were girls in the suffrage party brave enough to do it they could twist those old legislators round their little fingers. I tell you, there isn't one in the bunch that wouldn't vote for votes for women if a pretty little snffragist put up her lips and said "When the question came to the people the same scheme could be tried. The most attractive members of the suffrage party could be stationed at the various polling booths and er influence the doubtful voters. It wouldn't be illegal.

Kisses aren't cash, and neither giver nor receiver could be brought into court on the charge of bribery. It would just come under the head of campaign arguments the sort that men would best understand, for men are a great deal more emotional than women. "Even if the suffragists didn't feel like starting a general campaign of kissing; if every wife and sweetheart in the movement would say to her particular man, 'I won't kiss you till you get me the vote, and then I will kiss you very she'd receive it before she could turn around.

Students and members of the faculty of the University of Chicago are congratulating Arthur New-comb, assistant superintendent of buildings, who has accomplished the task of being graduated in the divinity school after eighteen years of hard struggle.

Newcomb appeared at the university in 1892 with an ambition to be a preacher. He was then twenty years of age. His early education had been neglected. A boy in the sixth grade in grammer school was his intellectual superior. He could not pass the examinations, but determined to "stick around," as he put it.

He be. gan as a man of all work. He carried coal and "toted" books, tables and baggage about the campus. Big-hearted students took him in hand. They gave him books, taught" him, and, after many years, he passed the examinations.

Then came a ten years' struggle in the divinity school. During these years he worked and slaved about the campus. Finally came success and a degree. "I have kept up with religious teachings of the university," he said, "and my sentiments coincide with those of our divinity department." Prof. Foster always appealed to me.

It is a relief to have reached my goal, and I do not regret the struggle I have had in getting there." Mr. Newcomb's case is the only known parallel to that pf Abraham Bowers, his classmate, who took the bachelor of philosophy degree three years ago, after fourteen of interrupted, effort.
