doors yesterday, Itwas stated that
it will pay off depositors in full
and that the stockholders will re-
alize dollar for dollar. 1t was cap
italized with $4,000 and had $500
surplus. The cause of the failure
was the inability to realize on its

still confident, however, that the
Straits of Panama will come. The
present phase of the locks is the first
step. There will be a time when the
canal is a perfectly level highway 800
feet wide at the bottom and so feet

larger all the time are ships being
built that the time will come, within
ten years, when the need will arise
