Mothers Friend,

the work hears completion the problem of getting the debris out of the way will grow more serious, the hauls be- coming longer as the days go by.
 But notwithstanding the increasing difficulties that are hesetting the ca nal builders, they are continually set ting new standard. At the r. M. c. A. and elsewhere on public occasions you hear the cry, or see projected upon a screen Four millions a month" A cheer greets it every time. And there in one sees the spirit of the. men who are digging the canal. There was re- joicing on the canal year ago last March when it was announced that more than a million cubic yards of dirt had been eXcavated. At home it was said that it was just a spurt at.mak- ing the dirt fly. On the zone however, they did not view it that way. Steam shovel men, dredge men. dirt train men-everybody began to set their pegs at the two million mark
 Through the difficulties of the rainy season they kept crowding the. notch closer. until in December of last year
 
 Christmas gift of a two million yard record. But even then they did not rest on the oars of achievement. Three million a month" became the rallying cry, and after two efforts, in both of which they made new advances toward their three million mark, in March of the present year they wrote down the highest eXcavatfng record ever made anywhere-nearly three and a half million cubic yards in, single month. In April they almost duplicat- ed the record. Then the dry season ended. and during the summer they will worry along with something over two million cubic yards a month. But everybody is squaring himself for a dash at that four million mark next December. Those who know the tenn per of the men believe they will touch it
 Culebra Cut has long been regarded as the great task of the undertaking It was here that the French made their first assaults on the great barrier be-. tween the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans It is the only place along the canal where work has never been sus- pended from the time the first French operations began. It was thought un- til recently that the length of time 1t would take to dig the Culebra Cut would be the length of time it would take to complete the canal.

The Panama Canal

CBy Frederic J. Haskin. )


 Culebra, Canal Zone, July 1.-(Spe- cal Correspondence of The Republican.) The construction of the Panama ca nal is the biggest enterprise ever un- dertaken by man, and the United States is rapidly bringing it to a successful consummation When it is done it will be the greatest material accomp- lishment of this greatest of natons. As an engineering feat it stands first. As to cost in money, no one yet knows how much it will take. but it will be between S350. .O0O.OO and $500. 900 ,OOO- much more than any other single work ever undertaken. It will be the most remarkable artificial change in geog- raphy ever accomplished. The Amer ican canal diggers of Panama, work ing at the rate they are going now. could dig the Suez canal in one year. The Panama canal will have a greater effect on world commerce and world politics than any other one work of man. And above and beyond all these things it will give and assure to the United States of America the first place among nations
 An army of 25.0O0 men is constantly at work constructing this giant water way that will lift the biggest battle ship over an eighty-five foot stairway and drop it again on the other side. Another army keeps the zone healthy. In one year alone they cleaned a mill lion linear feet of ditches in Panama, digging 13,O00 feet more, and fumigat- ing 6,000,000 cubic feet of house space as a precaution against disease. To care for the mighty army of workers Uncle Sam is spending s2,O00,000 a month for supplies.
 With -Four millions a month" for their slogan. the workers are making nearly that many cubic yards Of dirt fly. But the problem of digging the canal is not so much one of getting the dirt out, as it is of making away with the dirt after they have gotten it out. In the United States when a con- tractor encounters a piece of construc- tiOn work with haul of more than 800 yards. he figures it on the basis of that distance hauled free, and the remainder he charges for at whatever the cost is found to be On the canal the average haul of the eXcavated ma terial is more than ten miles And as

 There has also been a decrease in the number of idle box cars, flat cars. and other kinds of cars. The report states, however, that about 20 per cent Of the decrease in surplus available cars is accounted for by the increase in shop cars, that is. cars undergoing repairs in the shops of the various companies. The improvement in the car situation appears to be more or less uniform in the various portions Of the country except the Rocky Mountain and far western states. which show a larger number of idle cars for June 10 than for the end of April.
