been found necessary to increase the
proposed width from time to time as
one landslide followed another; and
while that increases the total amount
of the excavation it renders possible.
the placing Of tracks one above an
other to accommodate the dirt trains.
During the month of July, 1904,
1900 cubic yards of dirt were eXca-
waited at Culebra cut; one year later
the monthly excavation was upward
of 10000 cubic yards, and during the
month of July, 1906, $4,000 cubic
yards were removed from the nine
mile strips.
1t is worthy of notice that on March
IA, 1907, the daily excavation was
greater than the amount shoveled out
during the first month of July cited
The present monthly excavation
varies between six and eight hundred
thousand cubic yards, and with the
passing of the rainy season 1,000,00
cubic yards a month will be the as
sured excavation record.
But back of this record OF monthly
excavation and as a preliminary con-
dition essential TO the present eff
cheney of the Culebra army is the.
story Of the conquest of the IsthmiaR
jungle. The canal cut proper has been
a constant source of trouble to the
health division. In many instances
outlets for drainage are impracticable
and the water supply can only be
ditched in one pool. The progress of
each steam shovel leaves in it's train
new and varied drainage problems.
This has necessitated constructing
pools by filing in, deepening bitches,
confirming the water by rough stone
walls and ditching the large side pools,
thus turning all the water into the
main ditch, where it forms a swift
running stream unfavoTable to mos.
quito breeding. Drip barrels of OIL
| have been placed at points where the
! current slowed down, and this. com.
bined with the rapidity of the current,
has reduced mosquito breeding in the
| canal cut to a minimum.
The malarial reports of the district
| physicians being tabulated, the num-
Der of cases in the different camps is
compared with that Of the previous
! three weeks. If there is a decided
| increase of malaria at any camp the
inspector of that district is telephoned
to look for the point of infection.
The mosquito inspector takes the
! list and goes over the whole ground
in order Of greatest increase, locating
or confirming the point of infection.
and Nports upon the measures best
adapted for the removal of the same.
All She laborers of the district who
caA be spared from The daily routine
work are at once concentrated at that
point to make a swift and effective
end to the mosquito breeding places

OMAHA, oct. Il, 1915.
Very little Of the strength shown yester-
day was apparent today owing to the re
suits Of profit selling. Conditions through
out the wheat states remain very unsettled
and values are nervous on reports OF frost
in northern Argentina.
Wheat was a disappointment and l0st
the good gain made yesterday. Gables
were higher. but heavy profit taking sales
took all the firmness out Of the market and
prices dropped rapidly. December wheat
opened at Sac and closed at 8sc.
Corn opened steady. but was weakened
with wheat and reports Of favoraDle
weather throughout the corn belt. Cash
corn was steady to strong and helped hold
the options. December corn opened at 6Ssbc
and closed at SAC.
Primary wheat receipts were 1,32,OW bu.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE stock market
was oppressed by the revival OF uneasIness
In Europe over the difficulties arising in
the way Of a settlement OF the Balkan dit-
ficulty. Trading in the London market was
over for the uay before the New YORK
market opened, and the effect OF the for
eign depression therefore was largely SEN
timentat. A recurrence OF large liquidation

the plans OF the organized support of the
New York market. With the sunday in

place speculative commitments.
The continued Paris demand on London
for gold gave rise to discussion OF possible
measures of protection by the Bank Of
England. The figures Of our foreign trade
statement for September pointed TO the
anomaly Of the high foreign exchange rates
now prevailing. The HSs, S97,2 45 value OF
exports form a record for September and
the excess value Of exports for the month
or S4l 5S7 bring that item for the nine
months up to 432,s6s,5l This is the larg-
ever been accumulated for the nine months
period. Gold has been exported in excess
Of imports for the same time to the amount
or SO,5SO,564. The sustained demand for re-
mittances abroad under ti,ese clrcum-
stances arouses much interested conjecture
liquidation OF foreign holdings Of American
securities undoubtedly plays an important
part. Extra inducements offered by great
central banks abroad to attract gold are a
factor. The influence of our own redundant
banknote circulation in substituting sup
piles in the currency is not lost sight OF.
The September trade statement also records
a total Of imports valued at S95, 101. 7SS, the
largest since November of last year and
but $4,000 below September Of last year.
This showing is accepted as evidence %
the restoration to normal trade conditions
which Is going on in our foreign as well as
domestic commerce. The feature of the
bank statement was the evidence of con-
tinued loan expansion. somewhat eNagger-
