Louisville, Ky. June 6.-The Ma,

The address says In part:

Losing Time on the istnmus.
The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce heard Chief
Engineer Stevens of the istAmian ca
nal commission regarding engineering
problems on the isthmus. He gave in
detail the reasons of his conversion
from sea level advocate to lock
canal enthusiast. He said the popu.
lar impression of sea level canal
was that when it was constructed a
person could stand at one end of it
and look along the surface of the ca.
nal from ocean to ocean.
AS a matter of fact, If sea level
type of canal should be built, he said,
it would be more in the nature of a
sewer" 1t would be.a narrow chan
mel, deep down in narrow canyons: il
would have a strong current and in
his opinion there would be no way to
divert the torrents of the Chagres
river, or at least this question was
the one engineering problem on the
isthmus which far overtopped all
others. This river, if turned into a
sea level canal, he believed, would
render it non-navigable If it did not
completely destroy it. He explained
in detail what is known as an S5-foot
level type of canal. This contem-
plates building a dam at Gatun on
the Atlantic side and at La Boca on
the Pacific side, backing up the wa.
tiers of the two water sheds and thus
avoiding digging or dredging for to,
tai of % miles of the distance. This
type of canal he said could be built
in eight years. Time is being lost
on the isthmus, he said, because the
type of the canal to be built has not
been decided upon
