But first let ma satisfy you aa to the

wais nan estimated ua eost of the
canal at vm,M,A. In ona war they are
ngnt, out thera ara othat Items which
will amount to at least ts.000,00. These
ara tha extra charges entailed by the
annual sum ws pay Panama, and the
truncations. The first estimate of the
cost oi the latter was lU.AW.OM and con.
areas has aow cut It down to 111.000.. 000.
ws have already spent mare than S3. Odd
and wa will run up to S,0M.Ma before

agreed to pay Panama S2M,M a year,

Bam furnishes free fuel to his msa and

Mllllaaa saved tram Old Material.
Indeed tt Is wonderful how much Uncle
Sam saves by ue sals of old machinery
various kinds of waste material.
Tha moment he gets throush with a
machine he disposes of It, and at the
close of the work thera will be soms
mighty sales of this kind. So tar more
5,000,000 baa been turned Into
tha treasury from the aale-aO government
property own- here, and aa additional
K 000. 000 baa been received for ssrvloes

Watahlaa; the Labs.
I hare already written something about
tha labor of tha canal. Uncle Sam pays
bigger wages 'and gues bigger vacations
than any tothtr employer on aafth. Tha
here get from S to M per cent more
in .ue. states, tree jneaicaj .attena.
a nee and free fuel. They can buy eatables
at a shade above east and each at them
baa sis weeks' vacation, with bis high
rats at pay during tbs year.
la return for this Undo 8am sees that
they do their work. There la mighty little
loafing aa the island, and during work-
Ing hours every muscle la put to Us high
est efficiency. Thera ara detectives waa
go about to aaa if there la any scam ping
tha Job or padding the pay- rolls, and
tba poor workman is pretty aura to Be
dropped, '
This hi especially so of the msa hand
ling tha shachlaery A careful record Is
kept of - the' amount at labor that- aaeh
machine perTorma, -and from weak to
week thaanaiaasra know Just what every
steam shovel and every dredge ta dptngr
Tnsra is a great oompstltioB aa to which
maohmea and which gangs do .tbs moat;
and aa a result wa have bad soms 'sur
prising work. Tba output ot tha steam
shovels have been doubled, and a single
hovel baa execrated abou4JM eubtc

record of bavins; loaded mora than H.0W

Now when a Is remembered that wa have

I wish I could show you the books that
the government Is keeping dowa here at
Panama. They have 4 rystsm of accounts
which shows Just wbat svsrything costs
down to ths lifting of svsry pound of

am looking at tha records at laat year.
During the months of July, August and
September the average cost, per cubic

August almost to and la July only a

Thle was made up of Items like ths fol

that I have eaty quoted the round asav

Uncle " Sam . baa : his purchases wall
watched, and there Is an arms at dstee
ttvsei always oa tba outlook for fxauda
One gnat protection Is the method by
which jiim liseia ere. .made. Ible pre
vises that every contract- for work er material-
to- the amount ot ttOW or ever
eaa- be- swarded-- enfy steer bids-for ths
same have been edvertised 'for and than
only to the lowest bidder. The kids- are
made upon plans and specifications and
upon accurate descriptions as to ths ma.
ehlnsry aad material of which tba goods
are composed. Bvery bidder baa. to send
In a bond 'With his . bid or a certified
check of not lees thaa It per -cent of Its
amount tor hla faithful carrying -out of
the same it It should be accepted, sal It
he starts and falls to complete the work
he Is liable for damages.
' Bidding ot this kind Is dons as to small
contracts as well aa to large ones. I
have before me the circular which gives
ths proposals tor the great lock gates,'
which, It - will be remembered, were
awarded to Pittsburgh parties at a -coat
of over trs000,00a. - It fills many ; pages
and It Is seeompanied by designs which
show Just what the locks must be. The
provisions state bow. the stesl must be
made, bow tasted, what the constituent
elements ot eaoh part must be and. also
iTrach an. Infinite -teumber .of details and
provisions that a .full page of this Mwa-
pepee wouia not contain mem an. t .
After 'such contracts are mads ths gov
ernment ssatls Its scientists and engineers
to the various shops to watch ths con
struction slid to sew, that all tha details
ot the contract are carried out' These
men make-chemical and other teato'from
time - to time, They assay tha metals
which go Into ths vartour. parts and meas
ure to ths thouarninib of an Inch every
piece of the machinery. The least varla
tkm may destroy fa contract and tha re
sult is that Uncle? Sam usually geta what
he orders, although the contractor may
go bankrupt la tarnishing the same. '

panels are used.- These are more lasting than
wood, lighter than steel. They will not warp nor

Coupe is both as strong andeas light as it is pos
sible to build it Will retain its handsome appear
