Panama.-The Panama canal will be
completed December l, 1913. within
the $375,000,000 already authorized.
This information was given to Presi.
dent Taft while inspecting the famous
Gatun dam. The official date of the
opening remains January /, 1915, Lieu
tenant Colonel Goethals desiring one
year in which to get the machinery
working smoothly.
Ships meantime will be granted
the privilege of the canal but at their
own risk of delay.
In addition it was announced by the
colonel that the report that President
Taft's visit was the forerunner of re-
quest for another s1oO,OOO,OOO from
Congress was unfounded.
The canal will be completed in 1913,
he said. within the $375,0OO, 900 al
ready authorized.
The President was pleased at the
outlook for the early completion and
congratulated Colonel Goethals. He
expressed amazement at the work ac-
complished since his visit in February,
1909 He displayed a knowledge of
the technical details that surprised the
officials, his familiarity dating back to
the time he was Secretary of War.

against a sea level system. He was
greatly surprised at the immensity of
the dam. some idea of which can be
gained from the fact that the train
was under way nearly three hours on
the spur-tracks overlooking the great
fill.
The visit of President Taft has ut
terly dispelled any fears gained from
sensationalists respecting the stability
Of the dam base, which is half a mile
wide and SO gradually sloped that it
could never be recognized as dam.
Colonel Goethals explained that in
formal opening of the canal in 1913
necessitated immediate action on the
part of Congress relative to toll rates.
because eighteen months would be re-
Quired by shipping interests to adjust
their rates to the new routing.
The President expressed himself as
delighted to find the efficiency of the
workers increasing daily. The canal
is beginning to take the form of a wa
terway, and this accelerates the inter
est of the employees, thus Fastening
completion.

The election of Republican legisla-
ture for Wyoming is assured. Also the

Congressman Frank W. Mondell. Ex-
Senator Joseph M. Carey, insurgent

governor, is elected by about 5000 ma
jority.
Elections throughout the country
resulted in political convulsion of
far-reaching extent, similar at many
points to the famous tidal wave" of
'92, and apparently more widespread
in it's effect. The National House of
Representatives has been carried by
the Democrats, reversing the present
Republican majority of forty-three to
about forty Democratic majority. The
United States Senate will probably
have reduced Republican majority as
a result of legislative elections in many
states.
