The estimated cost Of the searleyel

has planned It. ~ ss Is. q.

to science. He was one Of the con-

Of the Suez canal, and the Russian
government retained him in the work
Of charging the ,Volga and Dnieper

Mr.. Bates two plans for the Panama
canal are identical in their essential

that in one he provides for three in

An embarrassment OF riches, It
might be said, is condition which the
lsthmian canal commission faces in the
shape Of numerous plans for the build
Ing of tho Panama canal. At the pres
emit time there are SIX distinct plans
for the construction of the big water
way between the two oceans, and the
commission will certainly have q
wealth Of material from which to de-
termine the most feasible course. It
may come as something Of Q surprise
to the general public to be told that
the plan for digging the canal has still
to be- decided. upon, but such is the
case. The ten million dollars which
have been spent since congress as
sumed for this government the re-
sponsibility of completing the gigan-
tic project have been used in prelimi-
nary work--in ascertaining the most
feasible and quickest type, of canal to
build, In improving the sanitary con-
ditions along the, canal strip, etc.-so
that the actual work Of digging has
not yet begun. The commission is
confident, however, that the wisdom OF
thorough preliminary work of getting
good and ready for the herculean task
will be fully demonstrated as the
work proceeds. ~. = >,~-~s
The six plans before the commission
are as follows: The Comite Technique

ing the one adopted by the New Pa
mama company, which was organized
after the failure Of the De Lesseps con.
Germ. It is probable that this old plan
will serve only as q valuable reference
to the commission in considering the
other plans.
!. The s5-foots level plan was the one
favored by the canal commission in
1901, when the ssea-levels proposition
was rejected 1t was to have q system
Of five locks, with great dam at b.
hio, which is about IA miles from the
Atlantic side of thesisthmus. But when
borings were made in order to deter
mine the feasibility of the plan it was
found that no satisfactory foundations
could be obtained for the high mason
~ dam, and this Of course destroyed
the very root of the plan. The posi-
bility of earthquakes had to also be
taken into consideration, for any &C.
cident to the dam would precipitate
the waters of the lake over the lower
country in frightful volume, creating
havoc to life aud property far greater
than that caused by the memorable
JOhnst0Wn food. s. a. -, =
The 30-foot level plan, while it has
not yet been announced in detail, is
known to provide for two-lock canal
with probably dam and lock ON the
Atlantic side of Bohio, as well AZ q
lock near Pedro Miguel or Miradores,
close to the Pacific, and also dam pro-
visions similar to those Of the French
project.
The sea-level plan is the one over
which engineering experts have d6-
fered widely, and yet it is the plan
which is the most favored IL it can be
proven feasible. It is the plan which
was reported on favorably last year
by the engineering committee Of the
canal commission, and may be the one
which will be finally adopted, unless
one of the two plans proposed by En-
gineer Bates wins the approval Of the
commission. With the sea level canal
there would have to be tide lock at
Miraaores to regulate the rise and fall
of the Pacific tides. The channel of the
canal would be 80 feet deep, which
would not admit the largest ocean
going steamships, serious objection,
inasmuch as there is growing ten
dency to build larger boats. Through
the Culebra cut, for seven or eight
miles, where the greatest amount of
digging must be done, It is planned to
give the canal width Of $50 feet at
the bottom and 1874 feet atsthe surface.
The sea-level plan provides for q gi-
gantic dam at Gamhoa, creating !
huge lake. above the canal, with diver
sion tunnels to Gerry the impcunded
waters IL the upper Chagres river
through the broken volcanic forma-
tons which encircle its watershed and
down the valleys into the Pacific ocean
or the Caribbean sea. " Z.
So much for the four oldest plans.
The Bates plans are different In sew
oral essential points from the fore
going, inasmuch as, according to his
estimates, the time OF construction and
the cost will be: greatly reduced, while
at the same time q canal will be pro-
vided which will enable ships to make
the passage from one ocean to tho
other In from four to Ave hours less
time than il estimated will. DO neces-
sary with the other types os canals.

canal labor absolutely necessary IN
the sea-level project. From the view
point of sanitation, Mr.. Bates also
makes great claims for his plans, in
asmuch as the artificial lakes he pro-
prses to construct will submerge prac-
tically all of the disease-breeding
swamps of the isthmus. The River
Chagres for the greater part Of its
course from San Pablo to the Atlantic
flows through low, swampy land, and
the work done IN this part Of the
isthmus cost thousands of lives dur.
ing the years of work under de Les
seps' plan. With the submerEing OF
these fever infected, swamps, every
new station Or town win be situated
on an open hillside, sloping toward
the lake, instead of as is tina case
with many now, In fostering hat..
The first of the Bates plans provides
for two lakes, the smaller one being
At the Panama end of the cut and the
larger at the Atlantic coast end. II
the second plan shown in our second
illustration q second lake is formed
at the Atlantic coast end, it being

the dividing line being the narrow
strait at Bohio. This second lake
would reach back into the country %
far as San Pablo. These lakes would
give nearly 26 miles Of free open nAyi-
CATION, more than half Of the distances
across the isthmu3.s -.
Mr.. Bates claims that his plan win
give more direct route, eliminating
nearly Sc degrees Of the curvature ae
the Pacific end. At both ends he Gre
ates new towns by utilizing the mate

trance to the canal at the terminals
