Ot tk$ iftter, some 26,000 are West lika, pblefly from Jamaica, and fe glance from qpaln, Italy and dWJffckfJns Central America. fbff task of getting labor for the CWMf fyorx provea one or gravo former Is mado up of tho officials, clorlcal forco, construction men and skilled artisans, and the "silver" constltuto the ordinary laborers. As Indicated by their title, ono class is paid In gold, or U. 8. currency, and tho other In Panamaisn silver. Pay Scale High. Since the Americans took hold at Panama In 1004 tho wago scalo has been extremely high, nrobablv mgncr man ever bcroro on any construction work. Wages aver ago from 35 to 100 per cent more than In the eastern United States. and In addition to this tho employ ees receive many perquisites, such as free quarters and cheap food, an interesting subject that will be touched upon in next week's article. The high pay scale was necessary In tho early days to get suitable labor to como to tho Isthmus, for when the health conditions were such that evory third man was al ways In the hospital and the death rate was appallng, It required big financial inducements to get and keep men. Now, howover, sanitary condi tions are almost model, and tho pay scale Is out of all proportion to the situation. The result Is that there Is more demand for positions than there are positions to be filled. From this spring on to tho completion time the enrollment will gradually bo diminished. It Is very probable that the force that will operate tho canal after com- tUKfiuiUeS at the outset.

Colonel Q. W. Goethals, the army engineer chairman for the Canal Commission, Is the dictator. What he saya "goes", and goes with a vengeance. If you don't like what tho Colonel docs to you, or doesn't do to you. you havo tho privilege of getting off tho Canal Zone. Tho Chairman Is sunromc. He knows everything that goes on In his llttlo empire, and ho not only bosses all tho big details of the actual construction work but ho watches over the domestic affairs of his variegated family of some 70,000 persons, of all conditions of raco, creed and color, not to men tion morality and Immorality. All or which means that the men on the Job have very llttlo to do but their work, and lack other responsl- uiimos. cor instanco, thoy have no franchise, for there Is nothing io voio ror, u tney hart ono. So tho tlmo which In tho United States might be devoted to larger mauers at ranama often goes to petty troubles, nnd gosHlp and fric tion, social and official. Is a big uem in tho routine llfo of the workers and their families. Sunday Kouilons Unique. One of tho really, unique foaturci of Colonol Goethal's regime Is his regular Sunday morning session at bis office at Culobra, when anyono who has a grievance or thinks he nas one, can como and explain bis troubles. "Tho Colonel" has an ear for everyone from tho poorest laborer to tho highest official. Of course some very funny matters aro brought out at those meetings. In deed, It is said that at ono tlmo or another all tho dirty- linen of the Zono Is washed 'by tho Chairman, who scorns willing to glvo his tlmo to intlmato consideration of his A CHOICE OP STYLES is always demanded by tho stylish drctfacr, and wo cater to this discrimination by kecplnjr all styles in stock for the Benson, Wo would liko to show you Bomo stunning creations from tho best hat factories, with wide and narrow brim, high nnd low crowns, in all sizes, and in all shades too.

Government Is Despotic. - Nowhero in tho world, at lonst'ln the English speaking portion of the world, Is there such a 'despotic add quarrels, with Just as much thousht nnd gravity as ho docs to the mil lion dollar matters of tho Canal work.
