move more than this per cent Of what the
shovel men could excavate and load.
Undoubtedly the werk Of organization
effected by Engineer Stevens is now as
nearly perfect as 1t could be considering
the time he has had the task in hand.
doubt not if he had continued his con-
nection with the project, that ultimately
the maximum of excavating by .he
shovel operators could be promptly
handled. His resignation is regarded by
all who are engag ged in the work in the
Zone are very unfortunate and greatly to
be deplored. His successor, Col Goethals,
an army engineer Of high professional in
telligence, undoubtedly will take up the
task and discharge every duty imposed
on him in connection with The cOnstrue-
ton work honestly and efficiently. It
may be that the canal will be constructed
with fewer charges of graft and c0rrup-
tion under the new system. but I be-
lieve all will admit that no matter how
careful the army engineers may be OF the
government finances, il will cost more to
build the waterway than under private
contract. As have stated. at the END Of
the next fiscal year there viii remain to
be appropriated Of the original estimates
of the cost Of the canal, only S65,000,ooo
and the project viii be fully Ss or 80 per
cent Incomplete.
Costs $40 Per Cubic Yard.
..on the day of cur arrival. said Mr.,
Burleson, in reply 10 a question as to
the cost per unit of the work now being
done, there were engaged on the canal
in the service Of the government 36.O00
employees. AS near as could be ascer-
tanned these employees are receiving an
average Of 81 per day each, so that the
government is paying out about $I2,0
for each days work. On this same day
notice was posted saying that 5000
cubic yards of material had been exca-
waited that day BY a simple mathemati-
cal process one may ascertain approxI-
mately what it cost on that day to exca-
vate and move each cubic yard Of dirt or
rock taken out of the canal bed
There remain 30 be excavated about
100. 10000 cubic yards Out of the Cuiebra
cut alone must be taken GOO cubic
yards. Considering this. one can begin to
form an IDEA of the great burden our
government has taken upon its shoulders.
In addition 70 excavation work" Mr..
Burleson continued, there remain to be
moved millions of cubic yards by dredg-

tanning nearly as much material as is
to be taken from the great Culebra cut
itself. one can begin to form an idea of
the task involved.
mo one VIII deny--in fact every one
with any knowledge of the subject will

that the present pl1ns for the canal, pro-

for the canals construction. there was
another change. and no contract at ali
will be entered into, but the work will be

ton Of army engineers.
Contract system Quicker.
This may be all right. but the average
Iayman is inclined to believe that the
canal could have been completed within a
shorter time if it had been continued
under the direction of the engineers taken
from civil life and the contract system
adopted
During the session Of Congress just ad-
journed. an appropriation use round

AFTER being diligently prosecuted for
many years, during which time more than
a quarter of "a billion dollars was ex-
pended said Mr.. Burleson, the great
canal project as the French had planned
it. was practically abandoned when il
was less than two-fifths completed. For
"a decade preceding the passage OF the
Spooner act, In 1852 little or no effort
had been made by the French company
toward the completion of the canal.
When the Congress of the United States
finally acted, after a half century Of agi-
tation. the disheartened French were
quick to see their chance. and they
promptly -unloaded this greatest public

how can one keep down the fear that its

About three years after the Spooner

canal construction appareatly took fright
and determined TO appease this fmpatience
by making the dirt ny" After looking
