spondent will be unable to tell all
the news this week, as yesterday
was Labor day, and we took a
prominent part.
The rock breaker Is now at work
on the Pacific entrance to our
canal, and all citizens of the zone
are taking just pride in its wonder
full work. Complete detailed rec
ords are being taken of the work
performed. They are highly inter

Regular excavations continue at
Miraflores locks. What would have
been gigantic landslide was
nipped in the bud here last week
by the construction of riprap and a
concrete toe wall. AS it was, there
was no landslide at ALL
Labor day was celebrated with
all the pomp and dignity befitting
the occasion. Everybody got a holi-
day, except those who worked. This
was due to the kindness of Colonel
Goethals, who issued a proclama-
ton in Culebra August 2S, in which
he ordered that work should be
entirely suspended as far as pos
