The Troubles of the Pullman People,

Yesterday was the day appointed by United States Judge Grosscup of Chicago for hearing the application of the Pullman company for an in junction against the interstate com merce commission to restrain it from enforcing the order it made recently reducing Pullman rates between Chi cago and the Pacific coast country and interior points. Unless the in- junction is granted, the commission's order will go into effect the first of next month. The Pullman company pleads that it is not q common car rier, and therefore is not subject to the orders of the interstate com merce commission. There is some thing new in this plea. at any rate it is a variation from the familiar claim, hitherto made when Pullman affairs have been under public dis cussion, that the sleeping car com pany is sort of benevolent institu- tion which operates it's cars for the benefit of the country, and that it's enormous profits come from the op- eration of its shops. Of course, when the matter of shop profits was in controversy with the wOrkmen. it was alleged that the shops made no money. and that the profits came from the operation of the cars-but one claim or the other has been the familiar proposition when too much curiosity was evinced by the public as to how the great Pullman surplus was built up

THE CALL OF THE ROAD.

When in the twisted root and branch The sap begins to flow 4 restless impulse stirs the blood And sets the heart aglow. We long to shut the office desk And drop lfe's weary load. And join the throng of happy folk That gypsy on the road. The schOOlboy and the mOtorist, The tramp with ragged coat. The maid with gold upon her head And silver in her throat. In haste they leave the doors ajar. The fallow fields unsoWed. With hoops and wheels and eager fee To take the winding road. The senses swim in faint perfumes The balmy breezes bring; We drink the fragrance of the buds, The pale green wine of spring. Oh, who in walls of wood and stone Would find d dull abode When all the world is ont today With April on the road?

The Hotel Situation.

The work of clearing away some of the wreckage from the Adams hotel site in order to make the streets pas sable would be continued to the eX- tent of removing all the debris. in order to make way for the new con- struction-if it were an absolute cer- tainty that the project will be financed without difficulty The be- ginning of this preliminary work has misled many people into thinking that the project is an assured success. The facts are that it is not conceivable that the people of Phoenix will per init the enterprise to fail: but on the other hand a great deal of hard work Vet remains to be done in the way of securing subscriptions to the stock. Of the proposed sum of $250,000, but little more than S125,O0O has been promised. and this includes Mr. Adams tentative subscription of S75,- GO0. As has been frequently eX- plained heretofore. MT. Adams stands ready to take $75.OOO of the stock if the company desires it. But at least S50.0OO more should be subscribed in order to make the project a speedy success-,he remaining details Of financing the project would then be easy.

TIMES GO BY TURNS.

The Topped tree in time may grow again. Most naked plants renew both fruit and flower. The sorriest wight may find release of pain. The driest soil suck in some moist ening shower: Time goes by turns. and chances change by course From foul to fair. from better hap to worse. The sea of Fortune doth not eyer flow: She draws her favors to the lowest ebb: Her tides have equal times 10 come and go: Her loom doth weave the fine and cOarsest web: No joy so great but runneth to an end. No hap SD hard but may in time amend.

feet. the depth will he A feet at mean tide.
 | Except for the matter of providing the physical force to dig and remove the material the three great engi- neering problems are the locks. the Gatun dam and the Cuiebra cut over these problems there will doubtless be controversy until, in the end, with the ! work completed. the government en- gineers can triumphantly point to the proved soundness of their theories The locks. of course. are easy to con- struct: the objection urged against them is that they can be easily de- strOyed by enemies. who would thus put the canal out of commission.
 The Gatun dam is designed to con- trol the waters of the Chagres river. which in flood is one of the most violent streams of the world The pamphlet to which we have referred does not. of course. discuss any of the disputed questions relative to the dam and the Culebra cut. The ob- jection urged against the dam has been that it could not be built strong enough to stand. as the material for the foundation is inferior. The struc- ture is to be nearly IF miles long. oh, about 400 feet wide at the water surface. and about 100 feet wide at the top. The height of the dam from mean sea level will be 1l5 feet. The interior of the dam will be formed of q natural mixture of sand and clay, dredged by hydraulic process from pits above and below the dam. and placed between two large masses of rock and miscellaneous material. ob- tained by steam shOvels from points along the canal The spillway. 1.2OO feet long and 300 feet wide. and near ly 100 feet deep. and lined with con- crete. is to be cut through a hill of rock nearly in the center of the dam The lake thus formed will cover an area of 164 square miles It will have a depth varying from S5 to 45 feet. A channel will connect the lake with the Culebra cut.
 The Cuebra cut. nine miles in length, having an average depth of more than 300 feet. and a width on the bottom of 300 feet. is the greatest job of excavation the world has ever seen. A total of forty-five and one half million cubic yards has been ex- cavated from the cut, and tfiirty-two and one-half million cubic yards re- main to be taken out. The engineers who have insisted that the Culebra cut, as designed. is on too small scale, have prophesied that the sides are too steep and that slides will oc- cur from time to time. and that the bottom of the cut will buckle" As to the latter prediction. fragmentary
 
 last two or three weeks purport to verify it; it is alleged that the ground has squeezed" at the sides and caused the bottom to buckle to such an extent that the ground has risen in some places as much as eight or ten feet.
 The pamphlet to which We have referred is purely statistical. and of course does not refer to engineering or other controversies. From the fig ures presented it appears that spen- did progress has been made. and there seems no reason to doubt that the canal will be completed by the time now. fixed-January l. 1915. The total cost of the work is estimated at 375 millions of dollars.

The Panama Canal.

On the far away Isthmus of Pana- ma, almost under the equator, a group of sturdy American army officers, American engineers and American citizens are carrying forward the greatest work ever undertaken by man-the Panama canal. Cable tolls on news from that distant place are high, and little do the people of the United States hear of the progress of the stupendous undertaking. Exceed ingly interesting. therefore, is a pam phlet just issued by the Isthmian ca nal commission, which is a cOmpen- dium of information on every detail Of the enterprise.
 An army of 3s.732 workers on the canal and the canal railroad was on the payroll on the 23d of last March. This army is divided into two forces: the gold" force, and the silver force The force paid in gold num- bered 5.429, and the force paid in sil- yer was 33,303 The gold force is made up of the officials, clerical force, construction men, and skilled artisans, practically all of whom are Ameri- cans The silver force represents the unskilled laborers. Of these. about 5000 are Europeans, mainly Span iards. The remainder, about 2S,000, ha lar 1rt nf the Spaniards are paid 20 cents an hour and the rest 16 cents an hour.
 The canal is considerably more than half completed. That is of the total estimated excavation necessary, 103,- GOO, ,O00 cubic yards have been taken out, and 71,O00,00O cubic yards remain to be excavated. Of the time esti- mated for the work, but little more than half has been consumed. Con- struction began just six years ago tMay 1. l9OD, and the date fixed for completion is January l, 1915.
 The entire length of the canal from deep water in the Atlantic to deep water in the Pacific is about 5O1s miles Its length on land is about 4O1s miles.
 In passing through it from the At lantic to the Pacific. a vessel will en- ter a channel with a bottom width of 500 feet in Limon bay. follow this for about seven miles to Gatun, where it will enter a series of three locks in flights and be lifted S5 feet to the level of Gatun lake It will sail at full ocean speed through this lake, in a channel varying from 1000 to 500 feet in width, for a distance of about 24 miles, to Bas Obispo, where it will enter the much discussed Culebra cut. It will sail through the cut, a channel with a bottom width of 300 feet, to Pedro Miguel There it will enter a lock and be lowered 301R feet to a small lake, at an elevation of 54a4 feet above the sea level, and will sail through this for about 1la miles to Miraflores. There it will enter two locks in series and be low cred to sea level, passing out into the Pacific through a channel about S12 miles in length, with a bottom width of 800 feet The depth of the ap- proach channel on the Atlantic side, Uhere the tidal oscillation doeS mt exceed 115 feet, will be 41 feet at mean tide, and on the Pacific side. where the maximum oscillation is 23
