illume the whole of Culebra cut might
be had thus making practical the
working of two or more shifts and
shortening the time of construction.
Mr.. Wallace stated that the excavation
of this cut was the feature of the con-
struction of the canal that took the
time. He said:
On the economical and efficient hand
ling of the material from the Culebra
cut depends the cost and the time it
will take to complete the canal. Every
other question and every other problem
connected with the entire work is sub
ordinate and inferior to the problem of
the excavation and disposal of the ma
terial from the Culebra cut; that is the
principal problem of this work. The
control of the Chagres, the construc-
ton of the various dams, the construc-
ton of harbor improvements and all
other works are relatively less impor-
tant

of the civil service ordeal as recently
applied to canal employees.
Mr.. Wallace said it was extremely
uncertain. if proper foundation for
the Bohio dam could be found, and add
ed that the Gamboa dam can be con-
structed cheaper than the Bohio dam,
on account Of the fact that the founda-
ton is much nearer the surface and
the dam site much nearer the Culebra

mission, is the possibility and practi-
cability of high dam or proper foun-
dalton for a high dam at Bohio, on
which depends the ACCESSIBILITY of con-
structing a high level canal, with the
surface of the water ninety feet above
sea level
The second plan under consideration
is a summit level of sixty feet above
sea level Constructing a canal on this
plan admits of two different methods of
treatment. First, the construction of a
dam sixty feet above sea level, at Bo-
hio, with two locks of thirty feet, there
being two locks on the western slope;
second the construction of a dam sixty
feet above sea level, at Gatun, eight
miles from Colon, VITA two thirty-foot
locks in the same neighborhood. The
adoption of a siXty-foot level also will
render it necessary to construct dam
at Gamboa in order to provide a reser-
voir to accumulate water enough in the
wet season to furnish water for the
summit level of the canal. The con-
struction of a dam at Gamboa, in cons
nection with this, would also control
the Chagres river, except that it would
be necessary to provide a safety spill
way by the construction of a tunnel
some eight miles in length through the
divide, discharging the surplus waters
of the Chagres into the headwaters Of
the Juan Dia2, or the alternative plan
of constructing a tunnel four miles long
through the divide separating the
Chagres basin from the headquarters
of the Gatuncillo, a stream which en-
ters into the Chagres valley at Batun.
Should this latter course be adopted it
would be necessary to construct an
auxiliary channel for the Chagres from
Gatun to the sea, in order to divert its

Propositions to Re Open Tuesday by
 Governor.
 Governor Jelks will next Tuesday open the bids on the sale of $S,403, 500 of the renewal of the State which ad- vertisement has been made over the signature of Acting Governor Cum ningham for several weeks.
 The bonds which are to be sold are intended to be substituted for bonds of the State which will mature during 1906.
 A good many bids have already reached the office of the Governor It Is understood that unusual interest has been manifested in the securities by bankers and brokers of Alabama. It would not be surprising if on next Tuesday, previous to the opening of the bids, several bankers appear with bids in person before the Governor.
 To interest the citizens of Alabama and place as many of the bonds with in the States borders as possible was part of the plan of the Acting Gov ernor in refunding this major part of the bonded indebtedness. A special appeal to Alabamians was made for this purpose. Holders of the thirty year bonds to be refunded are allowed under certain conditions to offer their securities in exchange for the renewal bonds.
 The bonds will be issued to bear either three or three and one-half per cent interest according to the wishes of the bidder. The bonds are in denom- nations of $1.000. $500 and $100.
