Colonel Goethars estimate of com.

The point which seems to offer the
greatest difficulty throughout the
whole canal is the cut in the Culebra
hills and this, not on account of en-
cheering problems, but because OF
the many slides occurring from the
loose earth. These slides confuse
estimates as to the number of cubic
yards to be ultimately excavated
The engineers, however, in charge Of
the work are confident that these
difficulties are by no means insuper
able and will, in no way, retard the
date set for opening the canal.
Even before disembarking the
stranger to the isthmus on arriving
at Colon. the Atlantic terminus OF
the canal, will be struck by the un
usual activity visible in every direc.
ton in the harbor. His attention will
first be directed to the long trestle
already stretching Stewards for over
one and a half miles in a northeast
direction from Toro Lighthouse Point
across the harbor. All along this
trestle rock and stones are being
dumped to form a breakWater whose
ultimate length from shore will be
about two miles. The estimated cost
of this breakwater is five and half
million dollars. 1t is being built to
reduce to minimum the silt that
may be washed into the channel Of
the canal, and also to protect the
inner basin of the harbor, which leads
to the entrance of the canal, from
the northerly gales which usually OBJ
tain here from October to January
and which not infrequently do much
damage to the shipping and coastline.
The eye following the coastline will
soon be attracted towards the massive
piers which, begun about three
months ago and to cost ultimately
several million dollars, already
stretch out for nearly half milo
into the harbor from Cristobal Point.
These piers will be roomy enough
to permit several large liners to
dock simultaneously. Powerful tugs,
each towing large barges laden with
sand and rock for the locks from
Porto Bello( some twenty miles from
Colon along the eastern coast and
now fairly large American settle.
ment), may possibly be in sight on
their way through the canal to Gatun,
seven miles distant from Colon. If
the above bespeaks activity around
Colon harbor. the activity will be seen
to be greater when Gatun is reached.
It is here the canal ceases to be
sea level and reaches the three giant
locks which will lift all ships IS feet
and enable them to pass into the
Gatun lake, artificially formed by .
monster dam which impounds the
waters of the River Chagres and its
tributaries

are several types and sizes, are eat

calculated to inspire admiration for

ing performed.
What applies to 'Gatun applies also
to the other various sections along
the canal, all tending to convince the
observer that the possibility Of open
ing the canal before the date Off
cially fixed is no empty boast.
What the sanitary department OF
the canal commission has accom-
plished in cleansing the canal zone
of yellow fever and other diseases is
we'll known. The progressive won
ders that have been attained in hous
ing, feeding and providing amuse
ment and instruction to the army OF
100000 workmen Is less we'll known
The pestiferous jungle and swamp
have been transformed into clean
smart looking, healthful towns and
villages to be- seen throughout the
canal zone, all full of hustling activ.
ity and today the pleasant rendezvous
of an ever increasing number of
American and other tourists. This
transformation has cost millions, but
they have been we'll spent and the
uninterrupted and successful digging
of the canal ever since has been rem
dered possible therby.
Throughout the Whoe length of the
canal clean comfortable houses have
been built for the married employees
and their families. Eighteen big no.
tells are also erected for the bach
elors, besides numerous barracks,
messes and kitchens for the laborers.
In these buildings there are under
the commissions care not fewer than
$4,000 people.
The white canal and railroad EN-.
ployes are furnished with free house,
electric light, coal and water, and ali
laborers and employees have commits
sary rights which enable them to
purchase in the government stores at
practically cost prices, clothes, food
and other necessaries which permits
them to live we'll and inexpensively
and save a considerable part of their
salaries.
The public schools of the zone are
very good. The teachers are Amer
lean and native. The gardens sstab-
lished in many of them have been
such a success that the Panama gov
eminent is adopting the same meth
cd in its provincial schools.
Under the management of the Y. M.
c. A. there are club houses in the
principal zone towns wherein EN-.
ployes, after a hard days toll. may
go in reading and billiard rooms,
tennis courts, bowling alleys or gym
nasiums.
The erection and maintenance of
these clubs have added much to the
welfare of the men, and in the long
run has been an excellent invest
ment.
This regard for the social welfare
