HEALTH IMPROVING Notwithstanding the Fiu-1 tImt Sever, ill I iiexpected Slides Occurred (loud Progress Was Made. Washington, November 20. -Sum. nmri/.ed In a phrase "satisfactory pro gress all along the Panama Canal Zone." is the gist of the annual report of the Isthmian Canal commission, made to Secretary of War Dickerson by Col. George \V. Goethals, chair man Of the commission, and chief en gineer in charge of the work on the canal and made public today by the former. With the work of excavation and of construction progressing favorably at all points along the lino, w ith health j conditions better than ever before, with a centralization and consequent economy in certain parts of the work and with a maximum of lahorers since Hie United States Penan to dig the canal. Col. Qoethnls's report was de cidedly pleasing to Secretary Dickin son. The chief engineer reports, however, that it was not all smooth sailing dur ing the past year, slides, breaks and floods hindering the work to a cer tain extent lie men irons tour slides, covering respectively 1.7. T.:t. 1.0 and 1.7 acres, ami requiring during the year the removal of more than a mil lion cubic yards of material, "it was expected," In- says, "that slides would occur, and in the estimates provision was made for them, hut it now appears from cracks that show in the upper' surface adjacent to tin* laces of the: <ut that sufficient allowance had not been made, and the estimates were corrected to meet the new conditions." Three had br? aks. he reports, eecur ed during the year, one at die town of Culobrn, covering an area of more than ten acres and requiring a re moval of more than a million and a half of cubic yards of dirt and stone. The second' largest break covered an area of more than eleven acres and required a removal of more than 300, 1100 euhic yards, while the third break aggregated about 10.000 cubic yards. Material Removed, More than 30,500,000 cubic yards of material were renio\ from all parts of the canal during the year, of which almost 15.000,000 were from the Cul ebra Cut and almost 10,000,000 from the Chagres section. Ahout nun.nun cubic yards remain to he moved from the Culebra Cut before this section of the canal is completed. Economy has been sought by the, commission in various directions "To reduce to a minimum delays on ac count of breakdown of machinery plant and equipment, which rolle I largely in the unit cost of work," say? Col. Goethals, "nnd to provldo proper facilities for overhauling plant and equipment, as well as manufacturing necessary repair parts, large shops have been provided at certain points on the Isthmus, In which an- employ ed a total of I.".'.?I men. "in general." he adds, "the repair shops and equipment on the Isthmus are adequate to meet tin- requirements during the construction period. Noth ing as yet has been done toward perm anent shop facilities which will be needed after completion of the canal. "During the year special attention wo > paid to redtu iu.u the cost ol main tenance and operation of equipment." N nin her of r.iupln* ees, There was a steady increase from the beginning of the past fiscal year In the number of employees on the Canal Zine?until Oil March 30 last they reached a maximum of 38.071?, the largest force on record. This Includes those employed on the Panama Kail road. The total forte at the end of the \ear was 30,678, as compared with 33,103 a yeai- earlier, Investigations carried on during the year Indicate, says Col. tloothnls, that during ordinary years there will be a considerable surplus of water from ClatUUl Lake, even in the dry seasons, and that the water supply of the worst known dry season for the last nine teen years, namely, that of 1008, would he Rllfftclenl to maintain through the canal an average daily number of passages Ihree or four limes as great as the average number now passing the Suez ?'an.ii. this after making rea sonable deductions for evaporation., leakage, power supply and lockages. Health ?ondltlons on the Isthmus are reported to be an Improvement ov er those of the preceding year; nnd' no eases of plague or yellow fever originated on the Isthmus during the year. The daily average of sick was 23 out of every thousand employed, as against 23.40 during tin- preceding year, and the total number ol deatli8 among employees was ."IS. equivalent to an average of 10.81 per thousand ?5? ?v'--,v; i >,Hp ????
