canal, or round Cape Horn. AS a mat
ter of fact, the cheapest route is
round the Cape of Good Hope, via
Durham, and that is the one usually
taken. When the Panama canal is
opened there will be a fourth alterna-
tive; but until we know what the dues
will be we can not estimate how much
use will be made of the canal.
1T follows that this question of
dues will determine very largely what
effect the canal will have on the west
coast trade. If the dues are very hign
west coast traders will not make so
much use of the canal. Shipowners
will work out the cost of voyage to
nicely, and will work on the cheap
est plan. No one who was alive at
the opening of the Suez canal could
have formed the vaguest estimate of
the tonnage that would pass through
it annually In the same way, no one
can estimate what effect the Panama
canal will have on the Pacific ship.

The opening of the Panama canal
will be an event in the shipping world
unequalled in Importance since the
opening of the Suez canal Not only
will it provide a shorter route to
China and Australia and New Zea-
land, but it will make for the opening
up OF the western coasts of both North
and South America. The opening Of
the canal will, without doubt, bring
many shipping companies into the
west coast trade. One, the Holland

the railway, which is just over forty
miles in length, and no doubt we shall

west coast ports when the canal is
opened"
Shipowners are now awaiting with
