completion of the Denver auditorium.

been absent for month. He was very
much pleased with the progress made
during his absence and after going
over the auditorium from top to bot

In hand.
1T is very hard to estimate the ex-
act amount Of work done on such d
building when foundations and plans
are taken into consideration" he said,
"but should say that we have 80 per
cent. of the work done in value and
95 per cent. in time. The Democratic

the report of the state auditor, the bal

The receipts on the 4-mill levy from

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Statistics gath
cred by the Chicago Association Of
Commerce and made public Friday
tend to alleviate the pessimism felt
concerning the local industrial stu
alton. In response to letters sent out
by the association to GIG business
firms which year ago gave employ
ment to $1,000 persons it Is stated
that these firms are now employing
$500 persons, a decrease of less than
IL per cent II is further stated that
within so days these firms will have
added 1920 additional hands. David
r. Forgan, president of the assOcia-
ton, declares that the statistics were
gathered from every branch of indus
try and that by the beginning Of
March not more than Z per cent Of
the resident working population will
be without employment.
On the basis of 100000 employees at
gainful occupations in Chicago the
statistics presented by Mr.. Forgan
would show about $4,000 persons out
Of work. 1t is pointed out, however,
that a large percentage OF the idle
ness is due 10 the wintry season and
not to Industrial conditions. OF the

Be Required and Possibly This
Figure Will Be insufficient.

Washington, Jan. 11.--Because OIL
changed conditions from those exist
ing in 1905 when the minority of the
board Of consulting engineers of the
Panama canal submitted its report, 1t
10 now admitted in responsible quar-
tiers that the estimate made by that
report for building the canal was far
too low and that the cost may ap-
proximate $2OO.OOO,OO0. This includes
various incidental items such as ad-
ministration, sanitation and improve
ments aggregating several millions of
dollars In Panama and Colon, which,
however, will be refunded by the
Panama government, the expenses of
the zone government and various ex-
penses incidental to the relocation
and acquisition Of the Panama rail-
road. The estimate Of the board in
1905 was that the cost of the canal
would be $13S, 7s5,2OO, but this esti-
mate did not include expenses on
account OF interest during constfue-
ton, sanitation and zone government
Last spring the present commission
made some general estimates of the
probable cost of the work which re- |
suited In placing 1t anywhere between |
$210, 900 and s25O,OOO0OO, but the
more conservative members believed
the lower figures would prove ulti-
11ately correct Since that time some
Of the commissioners have found that
a considerable saving can be made
from the lower estimate which war
rants them In placing the estimated
cost at nearer S200,0OO,OO0 than
higher figure. Various reasons are !
assigned for the Increased cost, in
cluding wider and longer locks than
hose proposed by the board Of en-
ytneers, greater quantity of exca-
ration than that estimated by the
,oard, an increase in unit prices and
higher prices for labor than those
bought adequate by the board. That
'oard estimated the locks would cost
ess than $4O,O00,OOO, while the pres I
mt commission thinks 1t will be be-
ween $52, 5000 and 100000 with
still greater increase of 10 per cent
the locks are further widened as
roposed by the navy department.
