PANAMA CANAL
GOES AHEAD
W. G. McPherson Finds Much
to Commend in the Work
on Isthmus.
. FINDS SANITATION GOOD
One of Greatest Difficulties Which
th Officials Have to Meet Is
the Laziness of the
Native Laborers.
Freejuent reports that little is being1 ac
complished by the Government In us cs
nil operat'o'j In Panama are altogether
discredited by V. G. McPherson, a Port
land business man, who recently visited
the scene of operations. Mr. McPherson,
at the time, was en route to New York
on business, and went by way of Panama
in order to get the benefits of the sea
voyage. Discussing the district visited
by htm and the work accomplished by
the United States Government, Mr. Mc
Pherson said:
"I shouldn't imagine the country is one
in which any one would care to live, but
conditions there, as I noted them, have
been highly colored. In March on my
way to New York, and again In April on
my return voyage I found the healthiest
conditions prevailing at Ancon Hill, in
the canal lone. It is a fact that I did
not see a single mosquito. This speaks
volumes for wnut the Government has
done in ridding the eona-ry of this germ
propagating pes-, wtveh used to abound
In dense, clouds. The Government should
be given credit for improving the sani
tary conditions to an enormous extent
and with establishing corps of "physi
cians and efficient hospital service. In
the town of Panama itself the dirt and
smells are fast disappnarins. There In
now no danger of contracting fevers in
crossing the Isthmus, nnd, by the way. It
takes only a couple of hours to cross it
by rail. Before I arrived I was warned
not to drink water nnd to take all sorts
of precautions, but these warnings were
altogether unnecessary.
Much Is Accomplished.
"For a man who Is not a civil engi
neer to criticize the work being done
there is foolhardy," continued Mr..
McPherson. "It appears to me that a
tremendous lot has been accomplished
in the comparatively short time oper
ations have been under way. Enormous
work has been done In clearing brush,
ridvilng the district of mosquitoes, es
tablishing quarters for employes and
perfecting sanitary and hospital ar
rangemcnts. I can hardly see how so
much has been done. .
"Mr. Shonts Is going about the task
Just the same as he would set about
building a trans-continental railroad.
He Is surrounding himself with the
best men available all of them ex
perts who have had to do with the
great railroads of the United States
and are experts in their lines. The en
tire personnel of the canal-diggers is
a railrqad proposition. Shonts has full
authority to pick his own men and
he Is picking the best he can get. On
' his staff is a former Portlander, E. S.
Benson, who Is auditor of the Canal
' Commission. Mr. Benson was formerly
auditor of the O. R. & N. Railroad
Company. I met Mr. Benson during my
visit and found that he was homesick
for Portland. About 'all he talked of
was Portland.
One Great Difficulty.
"One of the great difficulties to be
contended with in the active building
of a canal Is the securing of common
labor. The natives and Jamaican ne
groes, who are mostly depended on
for this work, are. the most shiftless
and laziest lot imaginable. One of
them when working with a pick will
raise it up slowly and let it drop. It
takes six of them to carry a railroad
tie as.manjr ns can possibly get hold
of It, and then they mope along so
slowly you can barely see them move.
Their tactics are enough to drive an
American foreman insane. And If you
curse or abuse one of them there is
trouble in store for you. A Colonel of
marines was recently thrown into Jail
by the native government for swear
ing at a lazy native.
"Opportunities for young men seem
very good that is so far as salaries are
concerned. The salaries are good, but
difficulty is experienced in keeping good
men. Enjoyment is limited and social
life isn't anything to be compared with
conditions in the United States.
"While the probabilities seem in favor
of a sea-level canal, there is a wide sen
timent among engineers that a lock canal
would be more practicable. It will take
15 or 20 years to complete a sea-level
canal, while the lock canal ought to be
put through In 10 or 12 years. The only
argument In favor of the sea-level canal
seems to be that it will take longer to
complete it and ttus subserve the Inter-
ests of a few."
Death of S. D. Brastow.
PORTLAND, Or., June 17. To the Edi
tor.) As Mr. S. D. Brastow, who died re
cently at Alameda, was well known and
had numerous friends both in Oregon and
"Washington, the following tribute will be
of interest:
In the death recently of Mr. S. D. Bras
tow at his temporary home in Alameda,
not only San Francisco and vicinity, but
the entire Northwest, loses a forceful,
highly respected and well-known figure
one of the class of sturdy pioneers who
are fast passing away.
Of vigorous New England stock, he
came to the Coast in the early '50s and
entered the service of Wells, Fargo &
Co., the pioneer express company of the
Coast, as pony messenger, his route lying
between Jacksonville, Or., and Yreka,
Cal. As It took 36 hours to complete the
trip, and the country was but sparsely
settled, the position, as may be Imagined,
was attended with more or less hardship,
adventure and danger.
Mr. Brastow somewhat less than 40
years ago was appointed superintendent
of the Western division of Wells, Fargo
& Co., which position he held at the
time of bis death, he enjoying the dis
tinction of being the oldest express super
intendent In active service in the United
States.
His death was the result of heart fail-
ure. superinduced, there can be little
doubt, by the shock of the earthquake
and the hardship, strain and anxiety of
the days immediately following.
When, "on the second day of the con
flagration, ho saw that his house, too,
was destined to burn, he bartered with
an expressman as to the cost of remov
ing one load at least of his most valuable
. belongings. The price demanded was $100
cash down, and, as Mr. Brastow had but
little available money at the moment, he,
with of course hundreds of others, under
went the trying ordeal of seeing his cher
ished and valuable possession! the re
sult of the accumulation of a lifetime go
up in smoke.
Mr. Brastow was one of a small and
now rapidly diminishing coterie who were
especially prominent in the well-known
Bohemian Club of San Francisco, the
very name of which is the synonym for
conviviality, good fellowship and good
cheer. Prominent among those remain
ing are Mr. Raphart Weit, proprietor of
the White House, and ."Uncle" George
Bromley( as he is familiarly called), wit,
orator, author and "all-round good fel
low." Mr. Brastow was last in Portland
little more than a week ago. During his
stay he was confined closely to his room
at the Hotel Portland, suffering, as he
supposed, from an acute attack of
asthma. After three days, recovering his
strength somewhat, he started on his re
turn trip to Alameda, where, surrounded
by friends and attended by the loving
ministrations of a devoted wife and two
daughters, his sole surviving family, he
passed quietly away on the evening of
Tuesday, June 6. B.
DRUGSTORES' KNELL
Vision of Cures Christian Science
Hopes to Accomplish.
ASHLAND. Or. June 15. (To the Editor.)
Any, one who noticed the Illustration in
The Oregon ian of the Christian Science tem
ple and read the account of it dedication,
will have to admit ther la something more
than a passing fad back of Christian Science
claims. The most of us know of persons who
have - been brought hack to- health and
atrength who were given up by regular physi
cians to die. Jt is due to humanity to know
what this power is, and upon what philo-
sophlcal basis does It rest. It certainly . must
be plain, when ence fairly understood. Aside
from any prejudice, it Is our duty to our
selves and the generations who are to fol
low after us that we know all we can about It.
A short time ago I placed a stick of wood
in a stove and I touched a hot door with
one of my fingers. A sensation was sent to
my conscioueness the Instant I touched the
hot Iroa that injury was being done to that
part of my physical system. The sensation
kept reporting and the trouble was to get
It to quit reporting.
This reporting of Injury Is what we know
as pain, and It Is the means which the In
voluntary forces have of letting the Intel
lectual part of our being know that there
Is injury being done. The intellectual part
of my being can never patch up the damage
done to my burned finger. But as it is, I
expect the damage to be repaired with but
little inconvenience to me. The forces of my
being which have the work to do are still
sending In their complaint, seem to Indicate
that the Intellectual part was remiss In
duty, and they are trying to make me aware
that the Intellectual part should be more
careful and not allow extra. Jobs of this kind
to be thrown on them, as they have enough
to do to keep up the general repair.
Perfect health Is the result of the proper
relation being maintained between the spiritual
and the physical. The spiritual faculties are
the residents, while the physical la but the
house In which they reside. The spiritual
being Is divided into a number of different
faculties, and to one division U given the
work of looking after the physical. When that
division falls In its work death Is the re
sult. It may get greatly behind In keeping
up repairs, and sickness follows as a nat
ural consequence. That division in a great
many ways may be overtaxed, overloaded and
become discouraged as we do in our affairs.
One thing gets In the way of another so that
It seems Impossible to ever get matters
straightened out. Often a person is thrown
flat on his back and haa to lay and wait
for that part to get up with Its work.
. As I understand this Christian Science
healing, it is nothing more than the ability
of one person to send his Involuntary forces
to the assistance of the beleaguered forces of
another person by coming Into the proper
rapport. That department of the sick per
son's force might be like a person stuck
In the mud and so discouraged that he Is
no longer making any effort to get out. But
when it Is felt that assistance has In reality
come, then aa effort is made, and with the
strength of the combined forces working to
gether the sick one Is pulled out onto solid
ground again. The result is marvelous, and
a miracle hae been performed.
Paul says we have different gifts; and to
some is given the gift of healing; that is,
they are so constituted that they can put
themselves in rapport with that part or di
vision of the sick person's being. In a genu
ine sense they can give a lift to help along
in the work of repairing what damage or
derangement that may have occurred to the
sick person's physical being, and in a figur
ative sense give a feeling of encouragement
that causes those faculties to feel there is a
sympathetic fellowship. So they take heart
again and throw an energy Into the work
which they have to do that restores order
again In that department.
There is basis enough of fact in these as
sumptions to Justify the people in studying
them, and those who are gifted that way
should be able to give their strength to those
who are In need. There Is no patent on the
process, and It Is free, to all alike.
To set a broken bone the skillful hands of
a friend are required, and- a strictly material
adjustment is first necessary. Then that de
partment of our being take the matter In
hand and seems to know Just how to make all
good again. As there are many ways for
the physical to get out of adjustment, there
must necessarily " be many different means
applied to correct the great diversity of ail
ments. The first thing necessary is for the
physician to get the right understanding of
what the ailment la and detect where the
first failure of the involuntary forces to keep
up their work occurred. Then the remedy

can be understanding applied. If It is
medicine that m needed, give the medicine.
If it is physical adjustment, ouch as a bona
or muscle being out of place, make the ad
justment and place those part in proper shape
again. If It la the in trust ion of aome for
eign enemy, such ' as some contagious or epi
demic d 1 sease, treatment proper to the oc
casion must be applied. If it l something
where the involuntary forces have become
properly stalled, and' need a pull from an
outside helper. It is the great point to un
derstand how to give that pull. There is
where I feel , Christian Science hae got In
its work, while the remainder of ua have been
depending on the whips of medicine to lash
those forces Into exertion and haul us out
to health again. This one thing I feel is
sure no one system of treatment can proper
ly administer In all cases.
In my opinion there is a better day coming
for ailing humanity where "kind and sym
pathetic help from natural-born healers will
be looked) to for relief. The drugstore will
gradually recede Into a secondary position,
different to the one it occupies at the pres
ent time. THOMAS BUCKMAN.
SAVES HONOR OF 'PRINCE
Countess Kokowska Kills Herself,
Leaving Startling Confession.
VIENNA, June 17. The honor of the
princely house of Karnewlch has been
saved by the dying confession of Countess
Kokowska. The sensational episodes are
matters of last Winter, but the Princess'
confession has' been publicly spread on
VIEWS OF THE DISABLED JAKE I STANFORD AS SHE APPEARED IN ASTORIA HARBOR.
the papers, just filed, in connection with
the late Prince Karnewich's estates. All
the persons involved belong to Moscow.
The Prince had a large house party at his
castle near Moscow. Among them was
the beautiful Mademoiselle Czyka. Cap
tain Czinsky, of the Imperial Guards, re
nowned for his many amours, made pas
sionate love to her. He was, however, re
buffed and plotted revenge.
Discovering that she favored the Prince,
the captain managed to get the young
woman and the Prince on a toboggan
next day, with himself as steersman. Af
ter going half a mile down the mountain
chute and gaining terrific speed, the cap
tain deliberately steered the toboggan
toward a precipice and then slid it off into
the enow. The Prince was scarcely in
time to realize what had happened. He
seized his lady love by the waist and
threw her off, following himself Just as
the sledge fell over the side of the preci
pice. The Prince's arm was broken and
both he and the young woman were oth
erwise injured. The Prince challenged the
captain and a duel was arranged for the
next morning. But Moscow was horrified
to hear that only the captain was on the
field of honor.
The Prince was found dead In his bed
with his throat cut and a razor in his
hand. He- was dubbed a coward, who
beared the duel and had preferred suicide.
His name was taken off the rolls of the
family, off the regiments and clubs and
societies to which he belonged, and even
the peasants of his own estate cursed his
name. Some time afterward Countess
Kokowska was found dead in her boudoir
in Moscow. She had killed herself with
morphine. It now transpires that the
Countess left a letter of confession. It
appears that she was madly in love with,
the Prince, and, being a memebr of the
house party,' had seen his tender solici
tude of Mademoiselle Czyka, and on the
day of Captain Czinsky's treachery
learned that they loved each other. At
dead of night she made her way to the
Prince's room and murdered him by cut
ting his throat. She then placed the razor
in his hand to ward off suspicion.
Remorse at the dishonor she had
brought on the man she loved caused her
to take her own life.

BEAUTIFY THE HOME
J. B. Marvin Gives Practical
Suggestions.
BUILDING OF RESIDENCE
Design Should Conform to Site and
Be In Harmony With Surround
ings, and Should Always
Be in Good Taste.'
Joseph B. Marvin, of Portland, has
contributed to The Oregonlan an ar
ticle in which he gives some practical
suggestions for beautifying- homes. The
article follows: V
The Oregonlan has been so liberal In af
fording the use of Its valuable columns for
suggestions as to the beautifying of Port
land, that I venture to solicit space for
some volunteer suggestions as to the treat
ment of vacant lots in the residence portion
of the city; as to the building of new homes,
and as to the improvement of homes already
built.
The unkempt appearance of most of the
vacant lots In Portland is, undoubtedly, the
greatest - derogation to the beauty of the
city. If owners of lots would grade, and
sod. and Improve their lots with ornamental
trees and shrubbery, they would not only
beautify the city, but they would enhance
the value of their . property, and. If they
Intend to build on their lots, they would
save time by ornamenting their grounds In
advance of the building of their houses.
Adaptability to Surrounduigs.
The owner of a lot. when ready to build
a house thereon, should not insist upon hav
ing the architect plan his house according
to some preconceived, inartistic Idea. A
lawyer or a merchant, with his mind filled
w-tth his own special work. Bhould consult
his architect as he would his physician,
only reserving the privilege of selecting from
plans submitted, without assuming to direct
what the plans shall be. Above all, do not
build a house which Is a box. Every houss
should have bay windows or -wings, or both,
so that the occupants may enjoy the sur
roundings from the windows. If the house
Is located on a hillside. It should be Gothic
in style, with turrets or spires. In harmony
with the fir trees and hilltops in Its rear.
A square, flat-roofed house, on a hillside,
is not in keeping with its environment, and
Is in bad taste.
x In arranging for the ornamentation of
grounds do not instruct a nurseryman to
plant such trees and shrubbery and flower
ing plants as he may choose. Employ a
landscape gardener, and direct h,im to select
the most beautiful trees and shrubs and
flowers that can be obtained, ea the differ
ence In the cost of the poorest and the best
is but slight. A stiff cedar or an arbor
vltae is not as beautiful as an American
hemlock, or a eedrus deodars, which, with
Its graceful, feathery branches. Is a joy
forever. Be sure that you get the best.
Tou cannot make a mistake if you plant the
English hawthorne, the Japanese maple, the
cedrus deodara, the cut-leaved weeping
birch, the purple-leaved beech, the holly,
Chinese honeysuckle, the pirus-japonlca. or
the forsythla all of which flourish In this
climate; and you cannot have too many
roses, but they should be properly located.
Car of a Iawo.
Above all, provide for a grass plot or
lawn. Nothing is more attractive than a
well-kept lawn, and there may be a grass
plot even In the smallest grounds. 8kill
and care are necessary In making a lawn,
large or small. . The English have a saying
that It takes a hundred years to make a
gentleman, and two hundred years to make
a lawn. The principal things In making a
lawn are to see to it that you have good
soil, and good seed, and then. Instead of
relying upon a sprinkler In seasons of
drought, scatter fine, fertile earth over your
lawn from time to time until the roots of
the grass or clover are deep in the ground,
then the sun cannot reach and bum the
roots. If you use a sprinkler on your lawn
the crab-grass Is sure to appear, and this
will ruin It.
As to homes already built and ground al
ready ornamented. It is to be said that many
houses would be much" more beautiful If
painted an artistic color, and that- many
grounds, laid out years ago, may now be
vastly Improved by cutting out some of the
trees and shrubs.
As to colors for houses, I venture to say
that the strong neutral tints are by far
the best. A weak drab Is not good, neither
Is a white or a yellow or a bright red; but
an olive especially the light olives and a
cream color and the maroon, are good, be
cause they are cheerful and solid, and not
weak or glaring. The Dutch have a proverb
that "paint costs nothing," and It la un-
doubtedly a fact that paint not only greatly
Improves the appearn6e of a house, if it Is
of & good color, but It enhances Its value -preserving
It from decay, and making it
more attractive to purchasers.
Discriminating Use of Ax.
There are many beautiful places In Port
land, laid out years ago, which could now
be very greatly improved by discriminating
use of the ax. Where two trees are growing
so near together that neither one can de
velop symmetrically because of the proxim
ity of the other, one of them should be re
moved. Besides this. In old places, trees
and shrubs should be cut out to afford
vistas, so' that the house may be seen from
the street at several points, trees and plants
being left only between alternate, radiating
lines.
There are many fine hedges in Portland,
but there Is little variety. Most of them
are of the Japan privet, which is easily
grown and easily trimmed. The Introduc
tion, here-and there, of a hedge of the Pirus'
Japonica. or Japan quince, would afford a
pleasant variety, and greatly Improve the
appearance of the streets. This shrub re
quires more pains la trimming, but during
the period of Its bloom it Is very brlVllant
and striking in appearance, supplying a
dash of color In the midst of the universal
green.
Many valuable suggestions as to the
beautifying of the city have recently been
made In the columns of The Oregonlan. but
they have related mainly to duties devolv
ing upon the city government, such as the
preservation of cleanliness in the streets.
In the few hints I have ventured to offer
here. I have had In view more particularly
the opportunities for beautifying the city
whlch pertain to householders, who are. In
fact, the ones upon whom the fame of the
city for beauty must depend.
One very great detraction to the beauty
of Portland, as well as to the comfort and
safety of Its people, is in the condition of
the sidewalks in front of vacant lots. Many
of these are full of holes, and are dangerous,
and yet the city government so the honor
able Mayor Informs me has no authority to
repair these walks, charging the cost to the
owners of the lots, the question as to its
authority to do this being pending before
the Supreme Court of the state. ' I appeal
to the owners of vacant lots to Improve
their lots and to keep the sidewalks about
them In good condition.
JOSEPH B. MARVIN.
The Ancient Problem.
New York Evening Post.
Inevitably, many preachers Sunday1
"drew lessons" from the San Francisco
earthquake. Some of them were at pains
to "Justify the ways . of God to man."
After the catastrophe at Lisbon., . certain
18th-century philosophers and divines did
a great djsl of such moralizing. Kant,
while discussing the scientific aspects of
the disaster, thought that it was intended
to show man "that this battlefield of his
passions was not the goal of his pur
poses." Voltaire in his "Poeme sur le
Desastre de Lisbonne," attacked the op
timism of Leibnitz and of Pope. This
provoked from Rousseau, that strange re
Joinder in which he condemned Voltaire's
pessimism, and defended his own familiar
thesis, that ail is perfect as it comes from
the hand of the Creator, but is corrupted
and spoiled by man. Nature, he said, had
not crowded together at Lisbon 20,000
tall houses to fall and crush their tenants.
If the population had been content to live
in " a natural state, and had been suffi
ciently scattered, the loss of life would
have Ijeen Inconsiderable. Nor was the
sudden death of so many a great evil.
Their sufferings were less than If they
had lived to be vexed on their deathbeds
by lawyers, physicians and priests. Those
who attempt a satisfactory explanation
of the evil in the world are, indeed, like
ly to find themselves shoulder to shoulder
with that eccentric minority which has

succeeded in squaring the circle, or dis
covered the secret of perpetual motion. In
any event, the optimism which professes
to find uplift In such catastrophe Is, as
Schopenhauer said, "a bitter mockery of
the woes of mankind." After all, an
earthquake with its sudden destruction
of life and property presents no more dif
ficult a moral and religious problem than
the poverty, distress and death which are
with us every day.
Robin's Nest Caboose Fashion.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
That robins sometimes depart from
the old custom of building nests In trees
and bushes is shown in the selection of
one bird family, which has built a nest
in the drawbar of a caboose in the Big
Four railway yards at Bellefontalne, O,
The caboose is an extra one and hasn't
been in use for a number of days, and
the trainmen are hoping that it will not
be needed, for three pretty blue eggs in
the nest are claiming the undivided at
tention of the mother robin. The coupling
of the caboose would mean destruction
to the robin home. 1 "
