CIVIL ENGINEER
OF GREAT ABILITY
Will Guide Construction of
Panama Canal.
Mr.. JOHN FINDLEY WALLACE
His Wide Experience in Management of
Large Enterprises in Building and
Constructing Railroads.
Mr.. JOHN FINDLEY WALLACE

OF fine features. sturdily built, and
With an air Of quiet self-command This
Is the impression one first gets OF John
tlndley Wallace, chief engineer Of the
Panama Canal, the man who will actu-
ally construct the great isthmian water
way
Chief Engineer Wallace. whose recent
home was in Chicago. is now in WASH
ington holding daily consultations with
Admiral Walker. chairman OF the Canal
Commission, and Mr.. Mari and Mr.
Harrod, the other members who are
here, the purpose of these talks being
10 familiarize Mr.. Wallace with the
ideas of the commission and to ac-
quaint him with the designs for the
actual management of the canal work
which they have in mind.
Laying the Foundation.
1t viii he necessary for this prelimI-
nary Office work to continue for perhaps
two weeks at the conclusion OF which
time Mr. Wallace win go to the 18TH
mus for the first time in his life. there
to look over the field with a view %
getting his bearings and to study the
preliminary work already accomplished
by the working parties under civil
engineers.
A Traffic Manager.
Previous to his connection with
the lsthmian Canal Commission
Chief Engineer Wallace had a wide rep
utation in the railroad ana engineering
world as a construction engineer and
traffic manager. His most recent con-
nection was with the Illinois Central
Railway. of which he was general man
ager. His salary at that time was Sl0,-
600. He is now to receive $4,000 a year.
Mr.. WaIlace's rise has been remark
able, and is an uudeniable indication OF
his talents. The son Of a clergyman at
Fall River. Mass, he began his career
as a rodman, entering the service OF
the Carthage and Quincy Railroad in
1869. Perhaps his first accomplishment
to bring him into prominence was his
handling of the Worlds Fair transpor-
tation problem for the Illinois Central
Railway.
Improved the Road.
He also carried cut an immense num-
Der Of improvements for that road, and
as chairman of the advisory board OF
Joint track elevation in Chicago. he ac-
complisbed important work there.
In round figures the Panama Canal
will cost $4,000 600, and will require
ten years TO complete. Aside from the
engineers, raachinists, and otner skill
cd labor the constructive work will
give employment 10 5000 men. 1t is in
the management Of these great gangs OF
workmen and as a directing force that
the executive abilities and engineering
talents OF Mr. Wallace Will be taxed
to their utmost
