laundry be maintained for the purpose of
meeting the demands OF shipping. It
would then be possible for a ship to put
out OF Liverpool, have its laundry ready
when it reached Colon. send it to the
laundry there, and have 1T finished and
sent to anama by rail in time to over
take the ship at the Pacific entrance. All
OF these things would make the Panama
route attractive and would prevent the
greed Of local enterprise from charging
extortionate prices and thus interfere with
the usefulness Of the canal.

Great Commercial Benefits.

The benefits Immediately accruing to the
people Of the United States will be as
great in q commercial way as they will
DO IN h matter of military advantage.
A. the capture Of C~onstantinople caused
the u~pbuildtng OF many notable regions
through the consequent Transformation OF
international trade routes. so will the
Mississippi valley, the worlds greatest
1ranary, begin to grow and develop oven
beyond the wonderful records Of the past.
lts grain n meat products. loading by
way OF gulf ports. can go to the ends Of
the earth with little outlay for expensive
rail transportation. It 10 even possible
that the great awakening incident to the
opening Of the may hasten the day
when the lak4s-to-the-gulf waterway will
b an accomplished fact, and when ships
may load ct Chicago. Detroit, and other
lake points and sail directly to all ports
OF the world. Then, too. upper Mississippi
river points. like st. Paul. may be brought
within water communication with the OUT
hide world. and the United States will be-
gin al era Of commercial development sur
passing even the wonderful growth of the
decade Just closed.
Pittsburg may then be able to send its
vast output Of manufactures by water;
Kansas City will feel the stimulus Of the
new waterway n the Pacific coast, long
cut off from the rest CT the country by
the high mountain barriers which have
been only partially overcome by the rail-
roads. will now ind it's resources within
marketable distance Of the eastern states
which have needed them, but have been
denied them by tho necessarily high rail
freight rates.
Canada. too. will feel the stimulus of
the canal. No longer. will her great crops
have to find their sole outlet over rail-
roads that must cross the backbone of a
continent: but. pursuing the avenues of
least resistance. they will be able to ship
to all parts Of the world by way of the
gulf ports.

No Shortage Of Water.

There seems to DO no need Of fearing
that when ships begin to 60 through there
Will be n shortage Of water. 1t IL esti-
mated that tho locks can pass q total Of
Is vessels through the canal zach day.
This will take care OF q possible S0.0O0.O 900
tons q year. II the canal starts out with
only one-e;ghth OF that amount the people
Will have reason to congratulate them
selves. sues now has Il, 100000 tons to
handle a ear and even the busy 500
canal has only 100000 a year. But
should the demands go beyond anything
anticipated, there is room for extra locks
and an extra water supply. Gatum lake
Is already beginning to I'LL up as the
dam rises and by the time the machinery
Is installed 1t will be FULL. A record Of the
flow Of the liver running into it, allow
ing for seepage during 1909 showed that
1t would have been filled In nine months
hat year.
With q view Of saving water and to
fastening the process Of lockage, each
lock chamber Is divided into two SUBJ
chambers, one $50 feet long and the other
$50 feet. As upwards Of 90 per cent of
the vessels on the high seas are shorter
than ESQ feet. there Is little possibility
that many Of the ships passing through
will need more than tho larger of the
two subchambers. 1t IL expected tina q
ship will be raised h Approximate 81
feet Of ZACH step in about IL minutes. The
fastest inflow of water that will be per-
mitted 10 three feet per minute. It will
require about 100000 cubic feet of water
to lift a single big vessel up or down.

Changes Commercial Map.

Culebra, Canal Zone-When the isthmian
barrier succumbs at last to the unrelent-
Ing attacks Of the American canal digger,
there will begin the most rapid change
In the commercial map that has been
wrought In centuries. Not since Column
bus. sailing across the Atlantic in
search OF a western passage to India. dis
covered q new world instead OF q new
waterway. q there been such q trans
forming event in the field OF commerce as
will be the opening OF the Panama
canal.
Cities that today are mere way stations
on the international routes of trade. will
grow into rich world centers where the
new roads Of the commercial map will
CROSS. On the other hand, cities which
today glory in q trade supremacy or in
ternational recognition will see themselves
displaced. their prestige lost, their hopes
OF the future dashed to earth. The read
justment will not be the matter of a day
or of a year: even q generation may pass
portions: but the ultimate changes
wrought viii certainly be greater and
more world-encompassing than anyone
can now predict.
The capture of Constantinople by the
Turks was directly responsible for the
discovery Of the new world. 1t cut off
the cities of the Mediterranean from COM
munication with India and sent Columbus
westward in quest OF another passage
which could not be INSTRUCTED by the Mos
lem tyrants Of the east. At least the
Panama cana is to afford that passage
and to bring the whole earth into q small
or compass.
OF course the United States will be first
20 realize the vast benefits Of the canal.
1t will double the efficiency OF the Ameri-
can navy and will d to our military
prestige throughout the world. It will
enable the national authorities to concen-
trate the naval strength Of the country
in q way that will make any nation think
more thar twice before r.sking a war
with America.

Colon and Panama.

The canal probably will bring into be-
ing two important commercial cities at its
two endr. and although they will bear
the old names OF Colon and Panama, they
will be in fact new cities. The chief bust
ness Of these towns will be to cater to
the needs of the shipping that will seek
the passage OF the canal. and their
present cosmopolitan character will be
intensified.
Unfortunately. the immediate future of
these towns is gloomy. The immense
amount OF money expended here FOR con-
struction work has brought about boom
prices for everything. When the construc-
ton work Is finished and in the years be-
fore the business Of the canal has so ad-
justed itself to support other lines Of
trade. one wonders what he people of
Panama and Colon will do to stave off
bankruptcy. =
The chief interest in the canal to the
American citizen attaches to the fact that
1t will reduce the distance by water route
from Atlantic to Pacific ports by about
40 miles. A vessel OF the speed of tho
trip around Cape Horn h Panama anal
is a monument. can a the trip from
ocean to ocean in 10 days when the canal
Is open. whereas 1t now requires 6 days
for the journey around h Horn.

is the legend on the e~scutche0n OF the
canal diggers. In less than four years
from now the canal will be finished. the
world will be smaller. and. thee entire com.

ton Of the world in the parliament OF

ably to American prestige and American
usefulness.

Trip Takes IL Hours.

It will require about 10 or Il hours for
q ship to pass through the canal. Going
from the Atlantic 1t FIRST will pass the
breakwater 1T Toto Point. There It will.
cali 1t Colon. After that It will steam
up the 60o-foot wide sea level channel to
GAtun, where 1t will be 8 feet below the
lake above. Here 1t viii be lowed into the
nrst lock- and the gates closed behind It.
Then water will be allowed to now into
the lock from the lake above. through
the big 1S-feet culverts. until 1t has the
sa1ne level as that in tho lock above. Then
the gates to that lock are passed and
closed and the ship Is t0Wed into the next
one. Each time the same operation IL re-.
peated. until the ship finds itself In the
lake above. The 1t steams onward
through the lake and Culebra cut and
then asks the lock at Pedro Miguel to
drop it down approximately % feet. An
other mile at this level brings 1t to Mira
flores. where 1t gets two lifts down and
is back to sea level. and may go on its
way Uninterrupted or 1t may stop at Bal
boa, the Pacific end Of the canal.

Government Furnishes Supplies

It IS h hope OF the chief engineer that
tho United States will make early pro-
vision for the maintenance Of the canal.
He woul have matters 30 arranged that
the government could furnish everything
required by the traffic through the canal
on = commercial basis. For instance, he
would have coal furnished the passing
ships a. q part Of the business Of main
tanning the canal. A coaling station for
the navy will have to be maintained. and
his may az we'll be used to supply the
demands OF commercial shipping. Colonel
Cocktails would not deny to private en-
terprise the right to handle coal or any
other essentials to the conduct Of the
shipping business. He seeks only to have

Use for Big Waterway.

Ancon, Canal Zone.-The canal commits
sion is already looking forward to the
time when the canal is finished ships
are ready to go through. The practical
interest OF the shipping world 10 shown
by the fact that steamship lines are al
ready making inquiries as to what the
tolls are going to be. and for other infor-
nation which Will enable them to adjust
their affairs SO as to be ready to use the
big waterway at the earliest opportunity.
It is the desire OF President Taft to v
the tolls so fixed that it will be more
profitable for the ship owner to send his
vessel by way OF Panama than by Suex.
The net ton charge through suez is about
$3.50 per ton, and a vessel with 1000 tons
Of cargo would have to pay 5000 to pass
through Sue 1t Is proposed to hx the
toll on the Panam canal at 500 per ton.
On this basis q vessel with a 1900 ton
cargo would pay 1900 less to get through
Panama than 1t would have to a to 60
through Suex.
OF course there can be no way Of def
nitoly estimating the amount Of traffic
that will pass through the canal, but In
1900 a member OF the commission. who wa
well acquainted with the shipping BUSH
ness OF the world. estimated that $4,000
tons net register would pass through the
first yea the canal 10 open. n hat this
would increase Is per cent q year there

shipping to readjust itself to the new con-
ditions and that 1t was his opinion that to
make the tolls greater than Il . ton
would drive business away. Such cargoes
- lumber would be carried around Cape
Horn az at present. rather than pay ex-
cessive tolls.
The total cost of the Panama canal will
amount to &N5. 900. 900. and at 2 per cent
h rate ct which Uncle Sam can borrow
money-this will involve an interest
charge Of t7.500.000 q year. The cost of
maintenance n operation Is expected to
exceed $S.0o0.o0o a year, 80 that the total
expenses Of operation will amount ap-
proximately to $l1.Ooo.OD a year. It il
not intended to charge the American navy
anything for the privilege Of using the biz
waterway. At present it 10 the hope Of the
administration that congress will provi-
sionaly nx the toll at 81 per ton. leaving Il
optional with the president to change the
toll as commercial c~xigencies may seem to
demand.
