hard, for enterprises are entirely un
known. He explained briefly the'
splendid government - which governs
the employes and tho natives of Pan
ama, - '
To his friends he has been gene.rous
in explaining innumerable questions
hurled at him. He illustrates the Cu
lebra cut with a local example, stat
ing that the gap at Oro Dell is. about
the height of. the famous cut, but the
walls are slightly too far apart to be
an exact duplicate of tho much writ
ten of cut for the canal. ,
Mr. Keys was an engineer on one of
tha trains that daily ply from the
"front" ot tho canal to the three
dumping grounds. Stventy-fivo steam
shovels load these trains at the rate of
500 trainloads daily. It would require
columns to retell his Interesting story
founded on three years' experience.
Smv Knglneer Cor.
While at the zone . Mr. Keys saw
Engineer Coopert who holds a similar
position there. Mr. Cooper is still in
the' employe of the government, and
is thoroughly satisfied. '.'
Drops Aeroplane Scheme. ,."
Fully satisfied with his career In in
venting flying machines, Mr. Keys will
refrain from further venture in that
line. The machine which he had an
chored tit Morgan Lake for some time,
but eventually was wrecked against a
tree, is similar in every respect to the
aeroplane noV used successfully by
the famous Wrights In, their flights.
Keys' invention was put into tangible
shape long' before the WrlghtB were
heard of. The only difference between
the Wright machine and the one in
vented by Ktys is that the local ma
chine had no engine attached, though
all plans for such equipment were
complete.
For an Interesting hnlf hour with
the ennal zone, its government, habits
of the natives, the details of how the
monumental task is being carried on.
Mr. Ke- holds the medal.
He left Psnnma In December, goinsr
to New York .and from there to La
Grande, arriving here today. He will
remain here with his family., unless he
decides to return to Panama.
