force. The problem of sanitation for
those who remain to give force and ef-
feet to what American enterprise has
done on the isthmus. will be one Of
the greatest of the future. 1t will re-
qufre unrelenting vigilance to keep
the canal zone settlements which will
remain from relapsing into typical
tropical regions. Most OF the towns
will probably pass into the hands Of
natives or West Indian negroes.
An equipment of dredges and all
sorts Of repair machinery will be main
tanned throughout the years, since there
will always be large deposits Of silt
and sand brought down by the p
streams which flow into the canal
Provision will be made to prevent
the transcOntinental railroads from
gobbling for themselves the benefits of
the canal which ought, Of course. to
accrue to the whole people If they
were permitted to control the domes-
tic steamship lines which use the canal
they could easily make the rates so
high 1t would not materially interfere
with their present tranScontinental
rates. A law probably will be advo-
Gated which win prohibit any trans
continental railroad from being directly
or indirectly interested in any vessel
seeking passage through the canal 1t
is calculated by a wellknown shipper
that the cost Of transporting lumber
from the Pacific coast TO the Atlantic
can be reduced more than three
fourths once the canal is in operation
Last month Pacific Mail steamer
carried in its cargo some California
fruit for eastern markets. The success
of this experiment is being watched
with interest 1t Is probable that the
less perishable California fruits may
be brought around by Panama in large
quantities during the. coming year.

There seems to be no need Of fear
ing that when ships begin to- go
through there will be any shortage OF
water. 1t is estimated that the locks
can pass total of 4S vessels through
the canal each day. This will take
care of a possible 80, GOO. 900 tons a
year. If the canal starts out with only
one-eighth Of that amount the people
will have reason to congratulate them
selves. Snez now has 1900, 900 tons
to handle year and even the busy
500. canal has only 40. 900, 900 a year
But should the demands 90 beyond
anything anticipated. there is room for
extra locks and an extra water supply
Gatun lake is already beginning to
fill up as the dam rises and by the time
the machinery is Installed it will be
full. "A record of the flow of the riv-

THE SWORD OF TAMBoREL.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
read in your paper OF Thursday.
June l.. this paragraph: col. Hay TO
be given the sword of Col. Tamborel"
No, And a thousand times no. Mr..
Hay never can have the sword of Col.
Tamborel In the first place. Col. Tam
borel never surrendered to any war
officer in the fall OF Juarez. Never! He
died defending his country, loyal to
his government, as any American mill
tary officer and soldier has the duty
to do the same for his own govern
ment. Moreover Hay never was in the
battle Of Juarez where the valiant
soldier lost his precious life. If the
Madero government wishes to do this
marked injustice. certainly will mark
this fact s the worst Of Madero's
blunder. The precious sword OF Col.
Tamborel belongs to his relatives, not
to Madero. Orozco. Hay or anybody
else. This is plain justice.
My opinion land humble opinion 1t
Isl is that the late Col Tamborel de-
serves more respect. glory and admira-
ton than Navarro. I appeal to the
great American military authority.

It will require about 10 or Il hours
for ship to pass through the canal
Going from the Atlantic IT first will
pass the breakwater at Toto Point.
There IT will call at Colon After that
it will steam up the 500-foot wide sea
level channel to Gatun, where 1t will
be IS feet below the lake above. Here
It will be lowed into the first lock
and the gates closed behind it. Then
water will be allowed to flow into the
lock from the lake above, through the
big 1S-feet culverts. until it has the
same level as that in the lock above.
Then the gates to that lock are
passed and closed and the ships is
towed into the next one Each time
the same operation Is repeated. until
the ship finds itself in the lake above
Then It steams onward through the
lake and Cu1ebra cut and then asks
the lock at Pedro Miguel to drop i
down approximately 80 feet Another
mile at this level brings II to Mira
flores, where IT gets two lifts down and
is back at sea level, and may go on its
way uninterrupted, or 1t may stop at
