H'B'G MAN MAKES
GOOD AT PANAMA
Samuel G. Shearer Occupies
One of Most Responsible
Positions in Zone
SAMUEL G. SHEARER
There is a Harrisburg man who is
making good in a fine way in the gov
ernment service at Panama. Samuel
Q. Shearer, a son of J. L. Shearer, the
well-known Market street haberdasher
has been in the Canal Zone for several
years and now occupies' one of the
most responsible positions in the oper
ation of the big water way.
Before going to Panama Mr.
Shearer was a machinist in the Penn
sylvania Railroad shops in this city
and, was subsequently employed at
the Altoona shops and elsewhere. In
1908 be went to Panama, starting at
the bench. Later he was made an
assistant foreman at Empire. Tin
original large French shops were at
Gorgona where he was also an assist
ant foreman for some time.
Before the water was let into the
canal Mr. Shearer was instructed to
remove the machinery to Balboa, the
site of the present large shops at the
' Pacific terminal. The original shops
at Gorgona were on the line of the
canal and the site is now submerged
in the waterway.
When the question of appointing a
general foreman for the Balboa shops
was under consideration Colonel
Goethals said young Shearer had been
recommended by his official staff for
.efficiency and appointed him over a
number of older applicants. No one
who has not been on the job can
realize the magnitude of the work.
Uncle Sam gives his employes a house
in harmony with the positions they
occupy. Mr. Shearer lives at Balboa
a town built by the United States gov
ernment on modern lines distinguished
from the average Spanish-American
town.
General Foreman Shearer was born
in Harrisburg in 1871 and the etching
herewith is from a picture made as
he stoftd at the rail of one of the
steamers at Panama. The shops over
which he is head are very large and
occupy many acres of ground. He is
well-known in his home city and has
visited here a few times since taking
the position at Panama.
