Present indications are that actual
work on an isthmian canal will be begun
within the coming year, and that the
canal will be built at the Nicaragua
route. The latter portion of the state
ment is not certain. The proprietors of
the Panama ditch, where large amount
of money has been expended and several
times as much wasted and stolen, may
be willing to part with it for what it is
worth, and the Panama route, like all
others, has some advantages. An anony-
nous writer in late magazine con-
fidently asserts that the canal will be
built at the Darien route. There a tide
level canal could be built, but it would
involve digging tunnel, deep enough
and high enough for the largest ship
afioat, three miles through mountain
range-a task which dwarfs any previous
tunnel digging ever undertaken.
