operation and by the first day

contract of eighteen miles OF

time the amount of finished
canal is estimated at six miles,
and as the force has been doub-
led in the last month, it will not
be more than three months un-
til completion. The problem
that has bothered the contrac-
tors most is that of securing
men. If a man stays a week on
the job he is considered an ''old
man on Il e force" and the San
Francisco employment Offices
are kept busy sending out men.

a quit-claim deed to the disputed

land severed by an imaginary
line through the center of Main
