The Lock.and-Lake Canal Approved.

Our prediction that The Commits
sion of Engineers which accom-
panied Mr.. Taft to the ls,hmus
would report favorabIy on the
present plan and construction of
the lock canal at Panama, will in
all probability be verified. With
out exception, the reports which
have been cabled from the 1sthmus
since the arrival OF the Commits
sion speak in the highest terms of
the present condition of the work,
und Indicate that the expert engi
neers, after carefully looking over
the ground and examining the re-
ports of sub surface investigation,
are agreed that the canal will be
finished by the date, January /,
1915, which has been set by Col.
Goethals and his assistants. AS a
matter of fact, if each Of these half
dozen highly paid experts had re
n,ained in his own Office in the
United States, and there received
the full plans of the work, the de-
tailed reports of the several divis
ion engineers; and the samples OF
the materials brought up by the
borings, they would probably have
made just as competent a report
and fully as favorable, as they will
now turn in after walking over
the ground in person.

few people have been disturbed by
