Cost Will Be m

The fertilization OF the canal will cost
about 100000 less than was originally
estimated. When the fertilization board
went over the grounds 1t decided to make
recommendations such as would give the
!sthnus Notifications of the highest type,
and provide for army posts which would
be the lost word in military architecture.
But the nearly $50, 900, 600 that this would
nave cost seemed too large an amount
TO President Taft, n he asked the board
10 scale thing down as sharply as safety
would allow. So they cut out a gun or
two at either end Of the canal, at a saw
ing of more than $1,000, 900. They saved
another sl.OG0.0N by emitting the reclama-
ton of land vt Naos, Perico and Flamen-
co Islands. the total saving on the entire
cost OF the Notifications proper mount
ing to a little over $500, 900. The bulk of
the remainder Of the s., O0O,O 600 reduction
came about largely through reduction in
post costs.
n work of constructing the fortifica-
lions will begin at once, and it probably
VIII be completed by the time the canal
Is ready for operation. In addition to the
defenses at the ends Of the canal there
will be a mobile artillery ready to move
upon an tnstant's notice to any threatened
point on the zone. There will be a high
way and a railroad across the isthmus
ready at all times to furnish the defend
ers with means Of rapid communication,
and q small body of men will be quartered
at all times at each Of the vital points
of the big waterway.

The Man in Charge

Culebra, Canal Zone-A little more than
four years & Col. George Washington
Cocktails, u. s.. A.. took charge of the con-
engineer and chairman of the Isthm.an
canal commission. In that four years he
has proved himself to be in every way
worthy of his assignment as the managing
director OF the most stupendous piece OF
work ever undertaken by a
Colonel Cocktails also has established a
claim to the title of the great digger. In
his -four years in command he has super
intended the excavation of a greater
amount of earth han any other man In
the history of engineering. Since he went
to the canal to make the dirt fly" the
excavation has amounted to more than
$50, 0O0,C COO cubic yards. II all this exca-
waited material were loaded on dirt trains.
with 20 yards or 40 tons to the car. 1t would
make 7.2o0. 600 carloads. and II made into
one train 1t would be long enough to girdle
the globe two and a half times.
Colonel Cocktails was born in Brooklyn
on June %, 1858. Inc is. therefore. now So
years old. He was graduated from the
United States Military academy at West
Pom. in 1850 and was at once appointed
second lieutenant of engineers. For sew
eral years he was an instructor in civil
and military engineering at West Point.
and during the Spanish-American war he
served as chief of engineers. He was ap-
pointed chief engineer of the Panama
canal on February 26. 1907, and actually
assumed charge m April of hat year.

thority. the only condition being that they

hin that all the problems we have to
face already have been settled" said
Colonel Cocktails in speaking of this
phase Of his work.. you ought to drop
around to my office on Sunday morning"
Someone suggested not long g that
when the canal is finished in 1916. it would
be a good thing to groom Colonel Goe-
thals. fresh from his achievements in
Panama. for the presidency. The colonel
has no such notion. mo politics for me,
now or hereafter" he said. "When I get
through with this Job, If 1t is my good
fortune to complete the work. 1 shall then
devote myself for a little while to writing
an official report covering the construc-
ton of the big waterway. Then / shall
take my grip-sack in hand and do a little
long-deferred travelling. after which l

country. Any man who suggests my name

a sea level canal would ave required
more patience than Is possessed by
the American people and that the
engineering difficulties involved would
have been vastly greater than those
encountered in the building of the lock
canal.
The reason for this unanimity OF
opinion lies in Culebra tut Any ono
who sees the vast slides that slip like
glaciers into the cut-one of them hav-
ing an area of more than AZ acres
and who observes the hills on either
side of the cut slowly sinking down
and forcing up the bed of the canal
exactly as water in a curved pipe
will find its level-can understand,
ever he be no engineer, that 1t would
be next to impossible to go IS feet
deeper than at present is planned. Two
good sized mountain peaks would have
to be removed, and nobody knows how
much more.
The engineers frankly admit that
Culebra cut has been full of surprises.
Slide after slide has come down into
the cut; some moving so slowing that
their progress is imperceptible, and
other so rapidly that their motion has
caught steam shovels n disarranGed
every track leading out Of the cut.
Nothing can be done to check them.
They are simply allowed to slide in
and are then taken out with steam
shovels and dirt trains.

Colonel aoethals Modest Man

In view of the fact hat Colonel GOethals
Is building for himself a monument that
will preserve his name as one of the
greatest engineers the world has produced,
and although his wonderful ability has
been universally recognized, 1t is odd that
the people of his country know so little
of his personality. He is q modest man
and It may be said of him that he
breathes. moves and has his being In his
work. He Is the busiest man on the canal
zone. and one OF the busiest In the world,
but he has that rare faculty Of never be-
Ing hurried. The visitor to his office in
Culebra Is impressed by the absolute alb
sence Of confusion around that place OF
great tasks. Everything moves as stead
lily as a big clock. There are literally
thousands Of details to be looked after,
and yet things run so smoothly that one
does not ever hear the hum OF the ma
chinerX
There is no tedious waiting to see
the tall, white-haired, white-mustached.
bronzed-faced man who is the genius Of
the canal. Apparently he has more leis-
ure than any other man in the administra-
tion building, although as a matter of fact
every moment of his waking hours is oc-
cupied. He once said: II have little use
for the man who always seems to be so
tremendously busy that he must keep
everybody waiting. It does not take a
moment longer to zee q man at once than
1t does to see him later"
An army officer intensely loyal to his
military training, he is entirely free from
the fusstness Of the martinez. 1t is safe
that he has never worn a uniform since
he took charge Of the canal work. His
simplicity Is not affected, but is that SIM
plicity that marks a mind occupied with
bigger things than fr.lls of conduct. With
o private train always at his disposal and
with a motor car always ready for him, he
prefers travelling over the zone on the
regular train, sitting in an ordinary day
coach. contentedly putting a cigaret while
he observes every detail of the work over
which he has III chief control.

Rivers and Tides Bested-

In the light Of present day conditions
Inc discussions. with reference to the
Notifications Of the canal, 1t is anus
ing to note the arguments that were
made IN favor of a sea level canal, as
compared with one Of the lock type.
Now the fear is expressed that some
irresponsible nation might blow up the
locks. using an airship I'M high ex-
Dlostves to do 80. Yet the sea level
n was to have tidal locks at Sosa
Hill. where they would not only have
been exposed to he same danger, but
to the gun fire Of an enemy's fleet 40

an airship might be used to blow down.

the water and half a mile wide at the
base! But the sea level plan was to
have q masonry dam at Gamboa to
gulat the Chagres. that would have
been called upon to Withstand the pres
sure Of a head of water ITO feet high.
twice as high as that at Gatun.
Some OF the advocates Of q sea level
canal planned to build a lock canal at
first; and throughout the years Of the
future to continue the work until IL
was brought down to sea level and
course this idea was rejected as Inn
practicable. Locks are expensive THINGS
to build, and once built and WORKING
satisfactorily, the people would not
want to change. All men readily agree
that IL 1t were possible to build q sea
level canal 20 wide that 1t could be-
n~avigated readily, It would be the
ideal condition. But every engineer
who visits the Isthmus now admits
that 1t would have been too great n
task sven for the United States.
Some of the advocates Of q sea level
canal thought that It might DO built
wide enough that even the Chagres
river might not need to be reRulafed.
But where the Chagres strikes the line

Extremely Cautious

One OF the most characteristic traits
of the chief engineer is his extreme eau
ton. If everything does not work
smoothly when the canal Is completed 1t
will be despite every possible %precaution
that human foresight could devise. He
never accepts a theory until he has ex-
hausted every possible plan of proving 1t
In practice. The ,Gatun dam controversy
affords an interesting Illustration of his
determination to &C to the very bottom of
things n to make everything as GER
tain as 1t Is humanity possible to make 1t.
WhcA President Roosevelt sent q commits
sion OF n best engineers in America to
the canal zone to settle that controversy.
one of them, after going over the details
OF the work for days. declared that he
had never seen such thorough investiga-
lions, and that the whole commission
might sit as the feet of this man and
learn how to make things certain.
Colonel Cocktails has one ambition.
After the canal has been completed he
wants to see its operation 80 provided for
and worked out that through all the years
to come it will prove as great a blessing
to America as its most sanguine friend
in the ANAL decision in favor Of q lock
canal he feels the tremendous RESPONSE
bility that rests upon mis- shoulders; knows
that II It Is a success he will leave a
name to posterity: that If 1t is a failure
his life work IL in vain. and under these
conditions the world may be assured that
no doubtful ~expedients will be resorted to
In perfecting the waterway that prob
ably will live through all time as the
greatest engineering task to which man
ever addressed himself.

Peculiar Rock Formations

The rock formation in the Culebra
hills is peculiar. The underlying STRAIT
UNI is of a sandstone which disinte-
CRATES as soon as it is exposed to the
air. and is so soft and weak that 1t
Is not able to support a heavy load.
Above this is a kind of volcanic rock
which was deposited cold and never
united with the sedimentary rock. The
result Is that there Is nothing in the
geological formation of the hills to
hold stable the weight above when
The pressure becomes unqualified, and
the lower level of the cut. 1t Is UGH
a convincing sight that every original
sea level advocate who looks into the
cut goes away thanking his stars that
congress decided against his conten-
ton and for the lock canal.
No one thinks the sea level canal
would have presented any engineering
In time. but the amount Of material
which would have to be moved is so
great that the canal never could have
been finished by the same generation
that began It. The amount Of money
1t would have required-the engineers
all admit today-would have been past
estimation. and the length of time be-
yond prediction.
What would have been the result If
such a canal could have been built
within the limits Of American patience
and Uncle Sans pocket book? For the
greater part of the distance the width
Of h canal would have been 200 feet
or less, n any ship that had chosen
to do so could nave scuttled herself
In the big ditch, as effectually blocking
traffic for the time being as If Culebra
mountain had reared its head again.
Experienced seamen ~ that in such
q narrow misunderstanding around like
q mountain road-it would have been
extremely difficult by day and almost
impossible by night to navigate. One
ocean captain declares that he has al
ways found that when q ship begins
to go hunting" 1t invariably makes
for h nearest bank, and that with
out the possibility Of making enough
speed to hold her true to her course,
1t would have been most difficult to
tak the curves involved. He says
further that he doubts If two 6O-foot
vessels could pass in the 150-foot chan
mel That was proposed for a part Of
the distance.

Naval Base on Atlantic

1t Is the belief on the isthmus that the
United States naval base in southern wa
ters ough by all means be located at the
Atlantic end of the Panama canal. In
point OF cost of construction, as we'll as
cost OF maintenance. everybody admits
mat such a base at Colon would have
immeasurabie advantages over Guantana-
mo, or any other place in h tropical
seas. In the first place there must be a
commercial dry dock built and operated
anyway. and the demands of shipping as
TO the size of this dock are such that as
larse q one will be required as ever will
De needed by the navy. SO tha this ex-
pense will be cut out. In the second place.
a coaling station for commercial purposes
must be maintained, and this can be used
without additional expense by the navy
another important item. Large machine
shops will be required for the purposes
OF maintaining the canal and for the re-
pair OF commercial vessels, that may be
used with practically no additional cost
for construction or operation by the navy
In short a naval base of any given size
might be built at Panama for n very
small fraction Of the cost of building one
at Guantanamo; while the reduction in
cost OF maintenance would be in as great
proportion.
h strategic advantage Of having the
southern naval base ut Panama rather
than on the southern coast of cuba is
very decided. according to the ~strategists
who favor h Panama site. 1t places the
fleet two days closer to any Pacific coast
point. and this distance might decided a
big naval engagement. Although 1t brings
the feet two days closer to the Pacific
coast it does not remove 1t far enough
away from any Atlantic coast point ma
terially to interfere with conditions there.
1t still. leaves the fleet closer to any At
lantic coast point in the United States
than the feet of any other country.
