|‘FATHER' OF PANAMA
CANAL.
Authorised Biography of General Goethals.
Washington, Oct. 11. Gen. George W. Goethals, great- est digger of the world's biggest ditch, is for the first time the sub- ject of a complete and authorised blography, published by Harper and Brothers, under title, "Goethals: Genius of the Panama Canal."
Mr. Joseph Bucklin Bishop, for merly secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commisslun, and his son Mr. Farnham Bishop, both of whom died prior to publication, are joint authors..
The elder Bishop was intimately associated with Gen. Goethals dur. ing his years at the zone, and he gives with graphic and fascinating detail Gen. Goethals' daily routine during-the--canal's--final-period-of.
construction.
One sees "the benevolent deapot," as Gen. Goethals was not inaccur ately termed, at his flat top desk at Culebra, spelling out justice to the primitive pick-and-ahovel man, or the high priced gold employee who | had had trouble with some one's wife or to a mechanic dissatisfied with his wage ticket.
Liked His Job. Gen. Goethals knew his job, liked his job, and lived on it with a terrific intensity, working even on Sundays at the administration build- ing, the book reveals. .The Panama chapters leave one breathless with Interest both in the man and in the engineering feat.
After the canal job Gen. Goethals difficult tasks accomplished many
for the government, various states and municipalities; but evidently his supreme authority at the Canal Zone made him restive of divided authority in subsequent assign- ments. This fact Involved him in controversies, as in the wooden ship which construction programme, shadowed some of his best efforts.
But it la Goethals, "Genius of the Canal," that the world will remem- ber, and the title is a felicitous one and the book's greatest value is its close-up narration of the Panama day's work and its touching re- miniscences of life in the zone, United Fresa.

Finlay McQueen, the "king" of St. Kilda, who is spending
aweek in Glasgow, on October 18 told a reporter of his anger at his separation from his people, und of his terror of the machines of the mainland.
Speaking in a voice which trem- bled with feeling he declared: "I wish to God that I had never left. I listened to their promises, and here I am."
He had, he said, been separated from his "subjects," and had been allocated house in the vicinity of Kyle of Lochalsh, over a hundred miles away from where his fellow- Islanders were settled. "A train rans within two yards of our naw
· house,” he said, "and I am terrified." McQueen travelled to Glasgow carying a note reading "Please see the bearer on the through train to Glasgow. He has no English."
"Tommy" Lipton. Speaking in rapid Gaelic of the fear inspired by the passing trains, McQueen said that for a fortnight he could not get a smoke because he dared not venture out to buy matches. In addition the house- hold were without milk for about three weeks, and for fuel they had to break up chairs and planks brought from St. Kilda.
"Only one gentleman-he was a gentleman-did anything for no- Lipton," continued Finlay reflectve- ly. "Many years ago there was starvation in our island. We sent buoys out our creel buoys—with messages inside saying that we were starving. It was Tommy Lipton who sent us provisions—meal, sugar, tea, flour, and a lot of things, and I want you to promise me that you will say to Lipton that Finlay sends his thanks."
At the week-end Finlay was to go back to the Kyle of Lochalsh, but not to stay. He intends to collect his effects and go elsewhere.
