AM THE
C. B. Schleicher and Wife Pleased
With Their Trip In the Land
of Continued Summer.
TliK trip of (!. It. Schleicher and
wife to the Panama canal zone
was one that they will long re
member for tlit! wonderful things
they saw there and en route, and
he says no American citizen can
stand and gaze at the wonderful
work of American engineering,
the great canal locks, willjoul
feeling that they are worthy
monuments to the energy and un
tiring labor of the men who have
been there for several years pre
paring this great, waterway. Mr.
Schleicher describes his trip from
Key West to the. canal in the fol
lowing interesting letter:
It look four days to make the
1,080 miles from Key West to
(Jolon, and nothing was sighted
but some flying llsh, which are
from 6 to 12 inches long. On ar
rival of our steamer at Colon we
boarded a special train which the
government had provided for us
and at once proceeded lo the (Irst
three twin locks at (Salmi, seven
miles from the entrance of the
canal on the Atlantic side. Here
excitement, was intense among
our people, it was too much, too
great, a wonder to look at, and the
pride of being an American cil i.en
was visible in almost every face,
lo belong lo a nat ion of such great
achievement that others had un
dertaken and jfaib'd. , We spent
some lime here, i walked over

the lake, also the spillva. There
is where lliey lire nvv construct,

ease the locks refuse to work.
From here we went, lo Culchra
'".it, thirty miles beyond the first
locks, ami shows the greatest
fieee of engineering anil brain
work in Ibis line of excavating Ihe
world has ever seen. I was Ihe
only one that went clear to Ihe
bottom from our crowd and was
busy taking pictures when I found
the time had almost expired for
any train to leave. W hen 1 reach

hundred feel, I found that Ihe
I l ain with my wife had gone, lint,
the train crew sighted me and
came back. Here is the spot,
where the big landslide look place,
millions of yards of dirt moved
from the mountain side and many
steam shovels, steam drills and
thousands of men are working
here, with trainloads of dirt pull
ing out, it seems like a fairy tale
lo look at this cut.
We finally wound up at Panama
City and stayed there over night
and it was a day of our life here.
It is an old Spanish city of many
years, located on' the banks of the
Pacific, and built after old stylet
open day and night and the most
lively city I ever saw. The gov
ernment employs about iO.OOO
men on the canal and most all
come to Panama on Sunday, so
you see it is not a lonely place. It
takes some police to handle Ihe
people here, I here is about, Hfl per
cent negros and Indians who re
ceive 10 cents per hour and work
eight hours each day, and the
white men from (ill to 75 cents per
hour. 1 cannot .see how n man
can support a family on SO cents
per day. It looks like the differ
ence bid ween Hie prices paid is too
great. After setting the negros
free and making them cili.ens of
our country, he should stand a
half a chance on government work
to feed himself ami olfsprings.
These people live in houses creel
ed by the government and some
live in Ihe woods in straw thatched
huts and are apparently happy.
