O R E IG N activities lu Panama
were watched, officially and
unofficially, by the Am ericans
with profound Interest ami
with the desire that the construction
o f a canal shoulu be the work o f the
United States. T b e thought o f com-
muuicutlou betweeu the oceans being
iu European bauds was distasteful to
our statesmen.
Iu 1852. when the Panama railroad
was being built, a captain o f a com
pany In the Fourth regiment o f ln-
fnntry. Ulysses S. Grant, crossed the
isthmus at Panama on his way to th i
new Callforuia post. A n epidemic of
choleru broke out. costing the lives of
eighty men. and the general hard
ships o f the transit deeply impressed
Captain Grant with the ueed o f a L»ct
ter passage.
Several Am erican exploring parties
had been on the Isthmus, and in 1854
Lieutenant Arthur Strain, with tw e n
ty-seven companions, attempted to
penetrate the Jungle. T h ey got lost,
itid after ninety days o f living death
f ain and tw o or three o f his men
ru b b ed Panama.
President Lincoln in 1803. when he
-as freeing the negro slaves, east his
eyes upon the ("hiriqni province o f P an
ama as a suitable place fur colonizing
the negroes o f the south a fte r tlie eivil
war. but his untim ely death prevented
die opportunity to work out the idea.
That Captain Grant who had cross
ed the isthmus iu 1852 became presi
dent iu 1 Still, and the very same year
he directed General Stephen A. Hurl
but to negotiate a treaty with C olom
bia fo r a Panama canal.
He knew
from experience how advantageous it
would be to his country.
Such a
treaty was signed at Bogota on .Ian
26. 1870. tiut the United States seuat«
did not ratify it. and the senate o f Co
lomhia mutilated it.
President Grant then sent Adm iral
Amnieu to Nicaragua to Investigate
that route, more in a pique at Colom
liia than from a belief in its avallabil
ity. Colombia returned the feelin g by
turning to the French and g ivin g a
concession. A t the instance o f I’ resi

These substitutes are hidden where you can’t see
them. You can’t detect the edulteration until you w ear
the shoes and find them unsatisfactory.
You may have an old pair of shoes with run-down
heels, counters broken down, or the outer sole ripped off.
Cut them up and you will probably find them “ adulter

The only reason why any manufacturer uses substi
tutes for leather is that they are cheaper than leather.
They mean larger profits for him because you pay leather
prices for the shoes.

Day by day as the battleship Oregon
steamed avonnd Cape Horn this lesson
was impressed upon the people.
A
10,000 m ile journey conid have been
saved by n Panama canal. T h e w ar
over and peace allow in g the country
and the governm ent to consider other
things. President M cK in ley reorgan
ized the Isthmian canal commission
which he had appointed In 1807 with
the follo w in g personnel:
Adm iral John G. W alker, chairman:
Samuel Pasco. G eorge S. Mortson,
Lieutenant Colonel Oswald H. Ernst.
U S. A.: Colonel 1’ . C Hains. U. S. A.:
L ew is M. Haupt. A lfred Noble. W il
liam H Burr aud Professor Em ory it.
Johnson.
This commission was appointed In
March. )800. with instructions to In
vestigate all Central Am erican routes.
Th e W alker commission unofficially
asked tile Fren-h company what Its
property might he bought for. and
when quoted a price o f $101.141.500
promptly de. ided that Nicaragua look
ed better. T h e report m ade on Nov.
Id. 1001, by flic commission frankly
stated that the Panama route was pref-
era Me. but tile pri e asked bv the
French company was prohibitive The
commission dropped the remark that
$40.000,000 was about what the French
holdings w ere worth to the United
States.
