then. tracing the course of the ship with
his finger. he continued:
Emerging from the locks at Gatun.
the course of the steamer will be prac-
tically due south for three and one-half
miles. 1t will pass through thousand
foot channel with the water extending
beyond it, and the tops of the trees and
islands will take away the idea of a
canal and make one think that he is pass
ing through a large and deep lake. A
little farther on his vessel will take a
sharp turn 10 the left and then go in a
straight course for four and half miles
to a point about one mile below where
Bohio now is. From that point on the
right the opening eXcayated by the
French for their locks may be seen, and
a little farther on the vessel will pass
over the sites OF Frijoles and other vii
lagos which have been submerged by the
waters of Gatun lake.
After a journey of fifteen miles the
thousand-foot channel begins to narrow.
1t is reduced to SOD feet. and the canal
has now the appearance of a wide river
with hills each side 1t is the valley
of the Chagres. Still farther on the
channel Is reduced to 500 feet and the
vessel passes on into the Culebra cut
and sails through 1t for a distance OF
nine miles to the locks of Pedro Miguel
This part of the journey will be especial
~ interesting. The canal channel will be
300 feet wide and the hills will rise high
above the steamer, reaching in the GEN.
ter maximum of over $50 feet. The
sides Will be planted with earth holding
grasses and bushes, and there will be
but little evidence of the mighty work
We have done in making the cut
Entering the locks at Pedro Miguel,
the steamer will drop thirty feet into
Mirafiores lake. a beautiful sheet OF
silvery water, and will travel there a mile
and half before it reaches the locks OF
the same name. whe-e il will make its
two great steps to the channel at the
level of the Pacific.
From the foot OF the locks the ride to
Balboa will be only three miles, and to
deep water in the ocean about five miles
farther. The land there is low, with hills
In the background covered with green
On the left going out will be the great
wharves and repair shops of Balboa, and
in the distance one may see the little
archipelago of Perico. Culebra and Fla
menco, on which the Notifications will be.
THE trip throughout will be wonder
fully beautiful and intensely interesting.
It will embrace views of mountain and
valley, of river and lake, OF tropical
plants and flowers, and OF mighty trees
laden with orchids. AS far as canal trips
are concerned. II will be more beautiful
than any other on earth"

not thought 1t advisable to encourage
that plan. The present opinion Is that
the population of the Canal Zone should
be reduced to the minimum and. as far
as we now see. we believe that there will
be ample room in Cristobal for all the
Americans at Panama Col. Goethals
does not believe that the zone should be
populated, for the reason that such a pop
ulation might complicate matters in case
the canal should need to be defended In
time Of war.
'As to cities at the termini," continued
Mr.. Rousseau, I'VE have ample room both
at Cristobal and at Balboa to build them II
it should be deemed advisable, but it
seems now as though Colon and Panama

become a rear admiral, and under Com
missioner Goethals as chief has some of
the most important branches of the canal
work under him.
It was in the administration building
here at Culebra that l looked over the
maps of the proposed terminals and talk
ed with Mr.. Rousseau about them. Said
he:
Tho arrangements for the terminals
OF the canal are by no means complete.
We have made our plans, but so 1ar
many Of them have not been passed upon
by Congress, and much Will depend upon
the policy of the government as to the
treatment of canal traffic. Other matters
have been definitely settled and We are
already working them out You have
seen the great breakwaters which we are
building at both ends of the canal. On
the Atlantic ships will pass in by Toro
point, where the lighthouse stands. From
that point we are putting in break
water 1900 feet long to shut out the
prevailing storms from the western side
of the harbor. That breakwater has
width of fifteen feet at the top, and it
will rise ten feet above the mean level of
the sea- 1t will contain altogether in the
neighborhood Of 100000 cubic yards of
rock some of which is coming from the
quarries Of Porto Bello.
Eat the Pacific end" continued Admiral
Rousseau, we are making al even
greater breakwater This is to Join the
port Of Balboa with Naos Island. a dis
lance Of more than three miles. It will
run nearly parallel with the axis of the
canal prism. and is to keep the current
which sweeps up that shore from affect
ing the canal. That breakwater will con-
tain about 1900, 900 cubic yards of earth
and rock, which Is equal to q block 800
feet wide, 300 feet high and more than a
mile in length. The most Of this is al
ready in place. and 1t consists Of the spoil
which has been brought down from the
Culebra cut. We began work upon 1t in
May 1908"
Tell me something more about your
plans for the Atlantic end Of the canal
According to those we have already
made" said Mr.. Rousseau. I'VE shall, II
Congress consents, build five great docks
at Cristobal, each of which will be 1000
feet long and $50 feet wide. There will
be 800 feet between each two OF the docks,
and at the head of each dock will be
ample landings for small boats. The ma
terial will be reinforced concrete. and the
docks will have railroad tracks, moving
cranes and all sorts of machinery for
handling freight Of every description.
They will accommodate any steamer now
afloat, and should be sufficient for the
traffic of the canal"
But has Congress yet made any ap-
preparation for the building Of these
docks?"

The work OF building UP the founda-
tons for the terminals of the future is
already under way, and docks and break
waters are rising on both sides of the
isthmus. So far there is much yet to be
decided, but the plans of the engineers
have been carefully made, and as soon
as Congress gives its orders this part of
the canal construction will rapidly move.
