Excerpt from A Trip to Panama: The Narrative of a Tour of Observation Through the Canal Zone, With Some Account of Visits to Saint Thomas, Porto Rico, Jamaica and Cuba, by the Commercial Clubs of Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, February 18th-March 14th, 1907 I recall that while at the meeting of the Commercial Club of Cincinnati last year, proposal was made that a steamer be chartered to visit Panama this winter, and I agreed to be one of the party, or at least to time my annual visit so that I should be on the Isthmus when you were. L\/iy impression is that it would be wiser to postpone your visit until about this time next year when I understand you have, perhaps, a twenty years' anniversary. I do this, because at that time there will be a hotel constructed at Ancon, on the Panama side, sufficiently large to take in all of the members of the Clubs likely to make a visit - a hotel fresh, and new, and clean, free from any contagion, where you can be comfortable and feel safe at the same time. Isincerely hope that the proposition to visit Panama will not be given up. Those who go will feel richly rewarded for the definite information that the eye will give them of the task which this government has undertaken, and which under the inspiration of energy breathed into the enterprise by the words and action of President Roosevelt, it will certainly perform. From the address of Honorable William H. Taft, Secretary of War, before the Commercial Club of Saint Louis, November 18th, 1905.
