aa Garden Like aa Hawaii, and by
Sam Methods.
WASHINGTON', June 30. After
a trial of eleven weeks the employ
ment of convicts and local prisoners

improvement of fertile valleyi of the
canal zone, and third reimbursing the

taining iti penal-system. This is aaid
to be the first systematic effort made
to develop the Isthmus of Panama by

WILL HAVE NEW SYSTEM
For Keeping Records Relating To
Public Lands,
WASHINGTON. June 30.-The
antiquated methods of keeping records
relating to public lands, many of
which have been in vogue since the
general land office' was first organized
nearly 100 years ago, are to be super

business system. When the changes
go into effect the district land office
and the general land office in Wash-

application or entry more readily than
under the old system. All persons

the land office will in the future be
given a receipt for such moneys.

nished with modem office supplies.
