Evidence taken during the day tend

reaching anything like an even esii-
mate is the charge of depreciation as
held by the city.s experts and by The
water company.
AS this is the first case under the
Iowa law permitting condemnation OF

city and the owners of the water works
have never been able to agree on a
price.

PANAMA CANAL ABOUT
THREf-FOURTHS DONE
Great Change Made in Seven
Years Work.

Uncle Sam" has taken stock of
what has been accomplished at Pan
anna after seven years of hard work.
May ended the seventh year of canal
construction by Americans.
Only one-fourth of the great task of
excavation remains to be done, for the
ground hogs" have removed 13S,000,-
600 cubic yards from the line of the
canal. That leaves only 44,OOO,OO0
yards to be cut away.
The placing of the concrete in the
locks is more than 50 per cent COM
pleted, the installing of the lock gates
has begun and 20 per cent of the
filling for the Gatum dam, which will
feed the canal with water, has been
done.
The lock gates are staggering in
their vast proportions compared with
the timber gates of the canals in this
country. Each leaf, of which there are
two in gate, is feet thick, 65 feet
long and from AZ to 50 feet in height,
there being no fewer than 92 of these
leaves. Special hoisting machinery has
been installed to place these masses
of steel.
One of the unexpected obstacles in
| the construction was the development
of twenty-five slides in the Culebra
cut within a distance of nine miles
but it is stated that these will not
delay the completion of the canal, as
the earth can easily be removed by
dredges after the water is turned on.
