TALK ON big DITCH"

This Morning Was the Panama
Canal.

All the world is watching the pro
gress of the work on the big ditch"
in Panama, and this morning at the
high school Mason Spalding gave an
Grafton on The Panama Canal.
Beginning with a sort of a prediction
as to the result which the completion
OF this vast enterprise will have upon
the world, Mr.. Spalding, in a few
words. reviewed the history Of the
canal and the attempts of the French
to dig 1t. Various commissions OF
prominent engineers were repeatedly
sent to the .Isthmus to look over the
proposed site and report to the II. S.
government.
In 1905 actual work was begun by
civil engineers appointed by the presi-
dent, but later Maj. Geo. w. Goethals
of the engineers corp of the u. S. was
placed in full charge.
Mr.. Spalding then summed up the
progress of the construction of the last
five years, telling of the difficulties
arising in the isthmus and stating the
probable results of its completion to
the commercial world at large.
