Yeoman) I became interested in the construc tion of the Panama canal two or three years before the actual woik began. Having previously followed up con struction work on irrigation projects, 1 naturally wanted to see something on larger scale. 1 made application for position in January. 1907, and received an appointment, but when it came time to go my friends and relatives at borne persuaded me to change my mind, as the Isthmus of Panama at that time hsd the reputation of being the most unhealthy spot on the face of the earth and 1 had noticed through the news papers that Mr. Wallace, Mr. Shonts and Mr. Stevens had all passed it up. and a fat salary, too. I remember see ing cartoon in a Chicago paper saying they bad got cold feet in the tropics. Two months passed by and I was still thinking seriously of going to Panama, 'lhe latter part of March I packed my trunks and started for New York, tak ing passage on one of the United States steamers for Colon, Isthmus of Pana ma. It took seven days to make the trip. The captain said after anchoring in Colon that it was the roughest voy age he had made in 12 years, and 1 heartily agreed with him, for I had only eaten one meal on the way from New York. The fish got little to eat from me on that trip. You can imagine my feelings when I landed among a strange people, not a word of whose language 1 could understand, l nan only $1.50 in my pocket. My previous appointment, after the lapse of time was, of course, now no good. I had to look up a new job. But this was an easy mutter in those days; for jobs were plentiful, and men with nerve enough to stay were scarce. As there were no vacancies for an engineer or machinist because of lack of material and equipment, I took a job firing a steam shovel. In five weeks 1 was promoted to craneman. I spent six months at this work. becoming more dissatisfied all the time on'account of the danger which we continually en countered in those days. The tropical rains would wet us to the skin, and we had no place in which to dry our clothing. It did not take very much of this kind of exposure un til a man began to feel the effect of the dreaded fever. In those days we slept in the old buildings left by the French years before. They were not screened in and they were full of rats, bats, mos quitoes, centipedes, lizards and taran tulas. We were given a canvas cot to sleep on, and if we wanted a light we had.to buy candles from the Chinamen. We "got our water wherever we could find it, and 1 got my meals the first six months with a Spanish family. That's where I had to learn Spanish or go hungry, so I was not very long in learning the names of the things on the table. After six months on the steam shovel more machinery arrived, so I was noti fied that there was an engineer wanted. 1 got my locomotive and felt pretty well satisfied with my new position. I could at least be in the dry. liut the heat from the boiler on one side and the sun on the other was something to make a fellow think of the future. I continued as a locomotive engineer during the rest of my stay on the Isth mus, being stationed most of the time at Uutun in the construction of the locks and lHm, into which were put 25.UO0.UUU cubic feet of rock and earth, the largest piece of concrete work ever placed in the world. I was amused at an incident of the early days before we had much machin ery. A gang of Jamaica negroes had just arrived. Their foreman was as signed some light excavation work on which wheelbarrows were to be used. The negroes had come from a place where everything is carried on their heads. They had never seen a wheel barrow. After loading one of the one wheeled vehicles, two of the negroes picked it up and placed it on the head of a companion, who walked away with it. How that foreman did curse those "English objects," as he called them. You would have known he was no Sun day school teacher. The nergoes were used as waiters in the hotels. One day one of them brought a man some soup. The waiter's thumb was 'in the liquid. The man said, "Here, you black devil, get your thumb out of that soup." Mr. Nigger just grinned and said," t hat's all right, boss; the soup s not hot. The lastwo years of my stay on the Isthmus 1 was employed in the fortifi cation work on the Pacific side, hauling all of the big 14 and 10 inch guns and ; mortars and ammunition to the great- est fort in the world. I I came to Hood Kiver through the in ! fluence of dus Miller, whom I worked with in Montana on irrigation work. Mr. Miller was given an appointment to go to i'anama, too, hut he being a concrete and construction man of very tiroad experience, nis employers in Montana made it worth his while to remain there and take charge of their work in severs) points in Montana, as well as Wyoming. And Hood Kiver should feel proud of having a man in their beautiful valley who is capable of handling any kind of constitution work that may in the future need such a man to oversee it. 1 expect to make my home in Hood River if 1 can he fortunate enough to find some one 1 can induce to sell me a few acres. 1 saw by the Oregonian that Gen. Goethals was in Portland a lew days ago. There was some talk of getting him to run the city of Portland. After my eight years of service under him 1 CHn say that in my opinion there could never be found a better man for the job, or any other big job, where a rea man is needed. 1 have met a great many army and navy ollicers in all ranks in my experience in life, and have been personally acquainted with many, but the Colonel, as we all called him, has them all beaten. He always had a pleasant word and a smile for everybody, every time you met him. Whether he was showing the president of the United States around the work or alone, it was always the same. Every Sunday morning between 8 and 12 o'clock he held what we called his Sunday school class. If anybody, black or white, had any complaint to make regarding his work or general welfare, he was welcomed at the Colonel's Sun day school. He was given a private j hearing and personal interview, and the great secret of Col. Goethal's suc j cess was, that no one ever went away I from that meeting without feeling that he was getting a square deal. There were no pets. Privates, civilians, lieu ! tenants, majors and all took off their ' hats to Col. Goethals. That was the j understanding when T. K. sent him down. I The president had tried three civil I ians, and they all quit for various rea . sons. So the government sent a man who, they knew, would not quit. Hut it was understood that his word was to ho final, and so George Washington Goethals, the greatest of diplomat-engineers, and above all a real man among men, had the nerve to stay and finish the world's greatest engineering feat. , care Mrs. Hannes allowance at San widows pension, same, $25.00.
