FACTS ABOUT DITCH
DIGGING AT PANAMA
(New York Times.)

New York Times)
The minimum depth of the canal,
either in the lock or in the wide
lakes, will be forty-one feet.
During the past four years 1885,
$50 barrels of cement have been used
in the canal work
The increased speed to date reached
its climax during the month of
March, 1908, when the canal was adj
vanced to the extent of 3,487,287 Gu
bic yards.
The work of excavation is done
for the most part by 101 steam shov-
els. The shoyels have an average out
put of 991 cubic yards per day, or
25,768 cubic yards per month. The
shOYels have a working day of
eight hours.
The Isthmus though a comparative
ly orderly place, is orderly only with
the protection of an efficient police
The monthly list of arrests usually
gets up to 500, and the idea of dis
order is increased .by the fact that
from thirty to fifty of the prisoners
are women.
OF the 800 field employees on the
Isthmus only 205 are women The
Isthmian Canal Commission employees
1877 women and the Panama Rail-
road Is. The average salary paid to
the women employees is 1880. The
highest salary paid any woman on the
Isthmus is $175 month and the low
est S25 a month
There are approximately on the
Isthmus in the employ of the COM
J,o
$4,000 persons, of whom about 5000
are Americans. The normal working
force each day is shown from the
rolls of July /, when there were ac-
tually at work 30,541 employes-25,-
3S8 men for the commission and 5,153
for the railroad
The grand total of appropriations
voted by Congress for the purchase
and construction of the canal, from
the date of its purchase from the
French company on June 28 1902
down to May 27, 1908. when the ap-
preparations for the year 1909 were
made, amounts to 0,964, 1855. Of
this sum, S2e,177 600 was voted for
the coming year on estimates fur
nished by the commission.
When completed the canal will rep
resent a removal of approximately
223,548,000 cubic yards of earth and
wharfs. This mass is almost exact
ly two-thirds of the estimates orig
inally made for a canal excavated to
the level of the sea, as the task or
deepening the channel from the point
already agreed on to sea level would
mean the removal of an additional
106,891 ,621 cubic yards, according to
the estimates.
Surprising to American ears is the
casual announcement one hears in the
zone that a church has been Eau
thoriZed" by the commission But
it is fact that there are thirteen
Chaplains on the payroll of the COM
mission and that many church build
ings are constructed at the Govern
ment's expense There is an Episco-
pal Church, two Wesleyan ministers,
three Baptist ministers, a Hebrew
congregation, several Catholic insti-
buttons, and fourishing branch OIL
the Salvation Rrmy. The more mod
ern denominations are represented by
the Christian Scientists, who hold
services in the commission chapel eV-
cry Sunday, and the Seventh Day
Adventist, who meet on Saturday in
