Washington, Feb. I. During hia
nresent visit to the Isthmus President
elect Taft will note many evidences of
the wonderful progress toward the ulti-
tate completion of the canal, in tne
in montha that have paused since he
last called on the canal diggera they
have excavated 17.000,000 cublo yards
of material. Unless there is an unex
pected mishap In the present month it
will foot up the enormous total of i0.
000.000 cubic yards in the ten
montha The bigness of this excavation
does not appear until It is reduced to
everv, day terms. The average city
bouse la probably SI feet wide, 81 feet
high and 48 feet deep. The excavation
at Panama in ten montha would make
a hole in the earth big enough to bury
25,000 such housea.
To illustrate in another way the Im
mensity of the ten months' work: If
the excavation were uniform aoross the
Isthmus for the entire fifty miles from
deep water in the Atlantlo to deep
water in the Pacific the result would
be a ditch 18 feet deep and 174 feet wide
throughout the whole distance. If It
were possible to maintain this tremen
dous pace until the end it would be
only about 16 months from the first
of March until the last shovelful of
Irt was turned.
Great Task Under Difficulties. v
Of course no one expects that such
a remarkable pace can be kept up to
the end. It is the' wonder of the en
tire engineering world that they have
been able to maintain It up to the pres
ent time. No such sustained effort has
ever been put forth in the entire history
of the world. Yet it has been done un
der surroundings of unusual difficulty
during the ten months perhaps an
average of three feet of water has
fallen at every point on the Isthmus, at
times coming in downpours of half a
foot a day. Whatever else Mr. Taft
may see he will at least not ran to
see the biggest hole that was ever dug
in ten months. During the twelve
months of the calendar year Just passed
the excavations amounted to more than
116.000,000 cubic yards. If they can
keep the same pace through the pres
ent year there will be only 20.000,000
cubic yards of material left to be ex
cavated when New Year's Day, next,
rolls around.
Pumping Mud for Oatos Sam.
Mr. Taft will find the engineers on
the Isthmus turning their attention
largely to the Gatun dam. They con
sider they have the excavation prob
lem solved, and that the construction
of the locks and dams is the only
problem that demands serious consid
eration. As to the locks and dams at
the Pacific .side, they offer no serious
difficulties. Vast as are their propor
tions they look like child's nlav beside
the Oatun dam and locks. While there
is but little more than 60,000,000 cubic
yards of material yet to be taken out
of the canal, there are SS. 000,000 cuhlc
vards of dirt to be pumped up Into the
Gatun dam. Add to this the tremen
dous amount of water that must be
pumped up to hold this dirt in suspen
sion until it is deposited on the dam.
and then the immensity of the work of
building Gatun dam will appear. The
dam will contain some 21,000,000 cubic
yards of dirt.
A whole army of suction dredges will
be assigned to the work of Dumping up
the material. These will have SO inch
centrifugal pumps, and hour after hour,
dav after dar. and month after mn- i
wdrklng In day and night shifts, they
will press forward' the work of rearing
this Artificial mountain across a river
valley. Peruana 60 rer eent of tha ma
terial they - pump will be water. Of
the remaining 40 per- cent engineer
bavuie rigures mat only per cent
will remain on tha dam. On this baa is
nearly as much material will have to
pass through those pumps as has been
taken from the canal proper from tha
aay ins Tencn turnea tne nrat snovei
f ul of dirt down to the present time.
When Mr. Taft waa last on the isthmus
an the plana for Gatun dam were ten'
tative. The experiments have now
been made, and the work is ready to
proceea. - t
The amount of supojles that has been
used on the isthmus in the naat ten
months is beyond, the conception of
most men. Think of the damage a car
load oi aynamite rasa oiten wrougnt,
how it has sometimes almost annihi
lated small towns. Then fancy 200
carloads of it belnsr used iiv one brief
ten months' nerlod. That is the way
rthey-have been using it down on the
isthmus since Mr. Taft was last mere.
They have used a half million blasting
caps and everything else in proportion.
Health on the Isthmus.
When he last looked over the big
ditch Mr. Taft waa wonderfully im
pressed with the sanitary situation in
the canal zone. It was regarded as the
climax of all the arguments in favor of
tne merits or preventive meaicme. xne
record of each vear su masses the Dre
vious one. Last year the., death rate
nmnnsr tliA negroes in the canal 6m
nlnv wan nearly 48 out of every 1000
members of the force., This year it
was less than JO -out of every 1000.
Jamaica, from which island cornea a
large percentage of he negroea at wora
on the canal, is one of the most health
ful Islands within the tropics, yet the
death rate there is fully a third more
than the death rate among the negroes
on the Isthmus. The death rate among
In the canal employ is
about one half less than that among
those residing in the national capital
itself.
Juries in Spanish America.
The success that has attended the
working of the Jury system on the sone
since its estaoiisnmeni it mvuuw e
will deeply Interest the Judicial side
of Mr. Taft - It la the first time in the
history of the world that a Jury system
has been established on the continent
of South America, or In any Spanish
speaking country. Prior to its estab
lishment men were condemned to death
without benefit of Jury trial. This waa

repugnant to the responsible American
officials. A condemned man appealed to
Governor Blackburn for mercy, on the
ground that he had not been given that
great American right the right to be
tried by a Jury of his peers. The for
mer training of the governor could not
allow him to see a man put to death
without such a trial, yet the man had
been adjudged guilty by the trial conrts
and the verdiot had been upheld by all
the higher courts. Furthermore, an
examination : of the evidence led Gov
ernor Blackburn to conclude that no
error had been made, so he could not

ica, Bosh Work in Dry Season.
Mr. Taft, on reaching the sone, found
the Panama railroad force up to their
ears in the work of relocating the road.
The excavations for the canal can pro
ceed ' during the rainy season now as
well aa during the four dry months, so
thoroughly has the force been organ
ized. But on the other hand, little can
be done toward building embankments
when as much as six Inches of water
falls in a single day. It happens that
most of the relocation work Is on the
Atlantic side of the Isthmus, and there
more than 10 feet of rainwater falls
during a single wt season. They got
ready while It was raining, and are
now making the errort or their lives
to accomplish things during the four
months of dry weather. The creation of
the Gatun lake will .put the present
tracks of the railroad under 85 feet of
water, bo they are skirting the side of
the future lake with a high embankment
and making regular stairsteps of dump
ing tracks to facilitate the handling of
the dirt
Seven Stiles of Sea Xvel.
The present day visitor to the Isth
mus can sit on the veranda of the ad
ministration office at Gatun and look
down on the seven miles of the sea level
canal from there out to deep water in
the Atlantic He can behold a busy
line of human ants working from one
end to the other, and know from their
position the line on which ships will
sail in from the Atlantic. A half doxen
dredges of various types. Including the
big seagoing suction dredge Ancon, and
as many more steam shovels, are grad
ually eating their way down to the re
quired 41 feet below aea level. As the
canal la to be 500 feet wide in this sec
tion, every one foot section of the work
calls for the excavation of some 800
cubic yards of dirt
leaking the Dirt Fly.
On the whole, Mr. Taft has many sur
prises coming to him during his visit
to the isthmus. Men will differ as to
the circumstances attending the pur
chase of the canal rights and the Pan
amanian revolution, but If results are
to be the criterion by which the work
of the past year is to be measured, it
constitutes a most brilliant page in the
history of American achievement "Mak
ing dirt fly" for a whole year at a rate,
which. If maintained from start to fin
ish, would have dug the entire ditch in
48 months, is an achievement that was
undreamed of when the digging was
started, an achievement which not even
the most optimistic would have predicted
a year ago.
A former secretary of war. in urging
that the digging of the canal be en
trusted to the army engineers, said that
from the time he was at the head of
the war department he had studied these
men and their work, and that n,Vur In
the history of the service has the en
gineer corps Deen round wanting. He
predicted that if to them were aasigned
the task, the canal would be dug In the
minimum of time, at the minimum f
cost and with a maximum of satisfac
tion to tne American people. Now the
engineering profession of the entire
world stands with hats ofr before this
remarkable performance of American
army engineers. ,,

WARDS OFF BLOW AT
OREGON BOX FACTORIES
Change hi the western freight classi
fication of great - importance to ship
pers in this territory have lust been
made by 1 the classification ' committee
which has been in session in Mobile,
Ala. Assistant General Freight Agent
w. u. stunner, or the o, K. I, rep
resented the Harriman Hues , in the
northwest at the meeting and with the
cooperation of other interested officials
managed to suppress an attempt to in
crease tne rates on box snooKs - over
ordinary lumber shipped from tha Pa
clfio coast Tha blow was aimed di
rectly at the box factories of the north
west and was intended to make it im
possible for them to compete with the
lactone or tne middle west and east
in the manufacture of boxes for east
ern trade.
A week was given by the committee
to the hearing of petitions for changes
in the existing rules of the western
classification. Almost tha whole of two
days was spent in consideration with
the larger box manufacturers and inter
ested shippers of the proposed change
in the requirements of. pulp, fiber and
double faced corrugated board pack
ages for the transportation of freight.
These packages because of the high
price of suitable wooden packages, have
come very largely into use by the
principal shippers of the east some con
cerns using millions of such packages
annually. -
Changes Are necessary.
It is recognized, however, by box
manufacturers and by shippers ' that
some changes In the present require-'
ments of the classification as to these
packages are necessary, particularly as
to the manner of sealing and as to the
strength of the packages with relation
to the weight of toe goods which they
are designed to carry. There was, how
ever, so touch diversity or opinion as
to Just what changes should be made
thai It waa decided to give the pres
ent requirements another six months'
trial with the understanding that defi
nite requirements will be adopted at the
g. to do nem at c

where tha declared value exceeds the
recognised value accorded by the rail
road, m' addition of 25 per cent will
be made to the rate per 100 pounds or
car for each 100 per cent increase in

to read to an increase of 10 per oent
for each 100 per cent Increase in value.
All arot Considered.
Only a limited number of the 500
items Intended for consideration -at the
meeting were voted on, the rule of the
committee being that the vote on the
rest of the petitions Is to be handed to
or mailed to the chairman, within 20
days after the close of the meeting and
the result of the vote to be announced
later by the chairman. Some of the

Commissioner of Corpora
tions Outlines Views for
Restricting Interests.
(Special DUpatcb to The Journal.)
Washington
n. h. C. Fab. 3. tommls
sioner of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith has submitted to the secretary
of commerce and labor his annual re
port. In his report Commissioner Smith
says:
When the great system of secret
and semi-secret railway discriminations
enjoyed by the Standard oil company
was made public by the bureau in 1906.
the railroads concerned therein at once
voluntarily canceled every rate thus
criticised as Illegal. Again and again
the mere exposure or improper Dusiness
methods has led to their abandonment
without any further action.
Bureau Restricted.
But now the work of the bureau of
corporations Is necessarily restricted
to a comparatively smati cuya. xae
control of the federal government
Mhmilri be broadened into a general con
structive system based on these tested
principles of supervision, publicity, and
r.nnnnrAtlnn.
The details of such a system can be
the subject of much difference of opin
ion, but its main features should be as
follows:
1. It should be operated by the fed
eral government The United States Is
the only nower com netent to carry out
auch a plan of regulation. Corporate!
business has become national; its regu
lation must also be national. No con
siderable number of states can agree
on any one system. No one state alone
can make its own system effective.
2. It should provide for a system of
regular reports from the large Inter
state corporations. These reports
should be made to an office of the gov
ernment. They should set forth the
financial condition, business organiza
tion, and corporate transactions of the
company.
8. Such government office should
have access at all reasonable times to
the records and accounts of such cor
porations.
4. That office should publish con
cisely the Important facts and tenden
cles thus disclosed, so far aa the same
are of public Interest It should safe
guard, at the same time, from publica
tion all proper business secrets.
' Should Hot Fear Publicity.
6. Corporations complying with
these requirements should be given the
advantage- of a definite federal regis
tration, thus reaping the benefit of a
public standing as concerns with open
accounting and not afraid of publicity.
6. The system should, if possible,
be voluntary. It should not be com
pulsory If a voluntary system can be
made effective. It should be of such
a character that large corporations
in general will prefer to enter Into It,
thus making the principle of cooperation
the primary one rather than one of
compulsion.
7. It should recognise the basic fact
above pointed out, that the government
cannot at the same time both prohibit
and regulate corporate combination:
that If It elects to regulate combina
tion, it must logically permit at least
a reasonable degree thereof to exist
and recognize in law what has already
become an accomplished business fact.
Finally, supervision must be admin
istrative. No other method has the
necessary flexibility. Business cannot
be regulated properly by the slow meth
ods of judcial procedure. The adminis
trative system places the whole great
subject In a branch by itself, to be
handled by a permanent office organ
ised and trained for that purpose. It
makes the control active, positive and
constructive, not leaving it to the bare
prohibition of crlmlral law.

now being seriously considered by mem-
oers ox ootn nouses or the legislature.
A bill - making provision for damages
for the death of a workman while em
ployed by a corporation or private con
tractor is Deing considered, ana tne re
resentatlves of corpn-atlons oppose a
law that does not exempt them from an
action by relatives living abroad. It is
urged that the law would mean untold
litigation and expense, and no one could
ever tell when relatives would appear
and bring an action.
The matter came up on the indorse
ment of a bill making a corporation
liable for killing a single man. At this
time there Is no provision for the rela
tives of a single man securing a single
cent damages on account of his death,
no matter who was negligent. This has
worked a' hardship on married men who
have been discharged on all hazardous
work and only single men employed.
The labor interests of the state have
undertaken to remedy the evil, and now
comes up the question of foreign-relatives.
Thousands of men at work In

Olympla, Wash., Feb. 3. Dr. 8. W.
McClure of Pendleton, head of the Uni
ted States animal industry department
for the northwest is in the city in an
effort to secure passage by the legisla
ture of a law requiring the dipping of
sheep for scab and providing regula
tions for the care of livestock. For a
number of years the federal government
has had this supervision of stock, with
out the eld of state law, and at times
the work has been seriously crippled on
that account. In Oregon hundreds of
thousands of sheep have been dipped and
the scab thus eradicated entirely. In
this state the trouble Is slight, but laws
are said to be needed to prevent the
spread of the- disease into the large
bands of sheep which are to be found In
sections of this state.
Dr. McClure will remain here for at
least a week. The bill Is now In the
hands of the committees on livestock.

This is just a short talk on Rheumatism, pointing out its causes
and some of the reasons why so many fail to find a cure for this
painful, and often far-reaching trouble.
No other disease , is more persistent and discouraging than Rheu

root, often grow aisneartenea, ana sometimes conclude there is no
permanent cure. Patiently they have blistered and rubbed their aching
joints and muscles with liniments, oils, etc., and faithfully taken pot

returns, and usually
with increased se
verity. Rheumatism is
due to an excess of
uric acid, an irritat

accumulation, which
gets into the circula

kidneys, constipa

and other physical
rregulanties which
are usually regarded
as of no importance.
Nothing applied ex
ternally can ever
reach this trouble,
while potash and
like mineral medi
cines really add to
the acidity of the
blood, and this vital

tinually grows more

Rheumatism
can never be cured

S. S. S. thoroughly
cleanses and reno
vates the circulation
by neutralizing the

the foreign matter from the system. It strengthens and invigorates tne
blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constsntly depositing acrid

nourished by rich, healthful blood, which completely and permanently
cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. contains no potash, alkali, or any other

condition, and in addition to othar Bodily augments I suffered
severely from Rheumatism, artat repeated failures to secure
telief from the ute of other remedies I begun 8. 8. 8. , and it
acted like a charm. The rheumatic pains left and my res

Mr. Ida M. Palmer, of tea Fultoa St., Brooklyn. If. T. ,
write a follow : ' I wish yon to know what great Benefit I
have received from the nse of 8. 8. 8 I have oeea afflicted .
with Rheumatism for twenty years, sometimes being entiiety
laid up by it and always lam in some part of my DOdy. It
grew worse until it was misery to attempt t walk at all; my
right knee was nearly twice its natural aiie and was draws up
considerably shorter than tha other at. A friend sdvised me to
take S S 8. which I commenced. I had tried so many thinga
that I must say that 1 had very little faith that it would do me
any good but I wa willing to try anything that promiaed
telief. Before I had been aaing it long I waa greatly relieved,
and continuing tha medicine I ooa found that I was entirely
cared. The lameness and soreness all left, I can straighten,
move or bend my leg a well as any on and I have never knows
what Rheumatism was since. I am 65 years old and IM.
deeply grateful to 8. B, 8,"
