COST OF PANAMA CANAL.
To Complete 1t VIII Take Nearly
T7co Hundred Million Dollars.

1t estimated that it will the United States
$751;, 1855 to acquire and complete the Panama
Canal. besides the amount to be paid to the gov
eminent in control of the isthmus for the conces-
sion.
Already there has been immense amount Of
money and energy expended the canal. il IS safe
to say that a than sufficient to dig
waterway from ocean TO at sea level has
been collected from investors at different times in
it's history.
When De Lesseps organized the first company in
1880 for the construction of the canal it started
work with paid up capital Of SEQ 100000. For
eight years the company toiled employing at times
many fifteen thousand men. Then came a
necessity for changing the plans and the company
failed, after having collected in round figures from
the sale of stock and bonds $3.50 00o,ooo OF this
il shown that the expenditures actually made
the isthmus amounted to S15s. 100000. and that
the cost of excavation and smbankment proper
was SSs.6G0 0l0. The ultimate cost was then esti-
mated as S174.g4o0o. For several years effort
made to capitalize company to COM
plete the work. and at last. in 1924. the present
Panama Canal Company organized with paid
up capital Of S13.oOooN. Since that time work has
advanced at the rate Of about 100000 cubic yards
of excavation each year.
The total amount of excavation UP to the present
time has been about 81 10000 cubic yards I'm
fortunately only about 100000 cubic yards OF
this is available for the waterway proposed in
1S29-1990 by the Canal Commission. of which Rear
Admiral Walker was president. The Walker Com
missions recommendations included this available
excavation in the s4o,0O000O to be paid the canal
company for its work, records. drawings
and the property OF the Panama Railroad Com
pany. The commission estimated that the total
amount of excavation which would be required for
the canal 10 be built from it's plans. exclusive of
that for the Bohio dam and the Giganti spway,
would be 1853, 7O3 cubic yards. The work remain
ing to be done therefore. represents the difference
between the amount of available excavation which
it will acquire by purchase from the Panama Canal
Company, nearly three-1fthS, of the entire work

the canal while nearly 1912 coo will have actually
been spent in connection with its construction and
administration.
It the intention of the Panama Canal Com
pany to make the canal 29.5 feet deep. The in
creased dimensions of steamers now being built
has made IL necessary to plan for much deeper
canal and the Walker Commissions plans for
a waterway 80 feet deep.

THE LEBAUDY AIRSHIP.
Means by Which 1t Made Record
for Speed and Distance.

The airshin Of the Lebaudy brothers. which has
just made new records, both for speed and length
of fight, has been before the public about year
Public exhibitions were given in November of last
year and again in May. 1903 This craft resembles
I'm general design those of Severe, Santos DumonI
De Bradsky Spencer Barton, Won Zeppelin
Stevens and Gerth. One feature which diferenu-
ates the new airship from the others is the shape
of the gas bag Most Of the aeronauts here named
make both ends of their balloons alike, and have
these either bluntIv conical or egg shaped The
Lebaudys make their PROV sharper and more STEM
der than the stern. While their rivals give to the
gas bag round bottom. the Moisson experimenters
hatten it the under side
One thing which helped to achieve the success
which the Lebaudys scored last week. THURSDAY
was tho fact that their craft sailed in direction
only-from Moisson to the French capital-and
with the wind Dispatches from Paris say that
"a moderate breeze" was blowing toward their
destination. This might have had velocity OF
six or eight miles an hour possibly more. In esti-
mating the qualities of the airship itself some dis
count should therefore be made from the aver
age speed ri twenty nine miles hour. which is
reported. Still this would probably not cut the
record down to twenty miles. The closest approach
to this hitherto made by the English aeronaut
Spencer who, on September 10, 1902, secured a
mean speed of eighteen miles. very nearly that
while describing grea- circles in the air
BY an odd coincidence Spencer was up in the
air one hour and forty minutes. and the airshp of
the Lebaudys one hour and forty-one minutes. Inc
latter was able TO traverse forty-siX miles during
that time. while Spencer claims nearly thirty
Besides having the advantage of sailing all the
time with the wind, and perhaps percepuble supe-
riorty of model in cleaying the air the Lebaudys
doubtless derived some benefit from the efficiency
of their gasoene engine. This is rated at forty
Ave horsepower while Spencer had only thirty
horsepower at his disposal No arship OF that type
which has yet made a record for distance and
speed had such powerful motor as that employed
last week in France In the latest Santos-Dumont
airshp, No TO- the engines rated at sixty horse
power. Some day this craft may make a new
record but thus far it has limited itself to short
flights, the first public trial having occurred on
October Il, 1903. only month
A unique feature of the Lebaudys' procedure is
that they employ machnists to- operate their air
ships and themselves remain on terra TRINA Thus
they escape accidents like those which resulted In
the death of Severe and De Bradsky, and which
have twice impeTilled the life of Santos-Dumont.

institution starts on its financial
career under the most promis-

it's business yesterday is excep-
tionally hattering to the institu-

which its patrons have in the
management.

on the first days business was
81, 1892. rs. OF this amount $40.
632.75 is subject to check and
500 deposited in the savings de-
partment. The amount of the
saving deposit is exceedingly
gratifying considering the fact
that this feature of banking is
new in this city and plainly
shows that the savings bank will
be a permanent and profitable
feature to both it's promoters
and depositors.
