SURE THE PANAMA CANAL
WILL BE READY ON Time
Col. Goethals Thinks Ships Prob.
ably Will Use Ditch Before
Formal Opening.

Col. George W. Goethals, chief engineer
OF the Panama canal. is now in this city
for the purpose Of comforting with the
officials Of the War Department and
congressional committees in regard to
the affairs of the canal. especially the
question of canal tolls and government.
He has told the newspaper men that
no has little to add to what he had pre-
viously said about the progress Of the
work on the canal. 1t surely is going to
be opened ofiicially January /, 1915. he
said. After that there would have to be
q perpetual tinkering. and perhaps recon-
struction in certain parts of the work
that had been completed. He could only
generalize on the percentage OF the
work that had been completed. At Guile
bra the percentage was 10. and at the
Gatun section about 81. In the several
other parts Of the canal the percentage
was between 80 and 90 Perhaps the gen.
eral average might be put at more than
20.
The slides in the Gatun and Culebra
sections have been practically nullified
by reducing the pressure on the sides,
said Col. Cocktails. Everybody was
happy In the Canal Zone. he said, being
undisturbed by the higher cost OF liv-
Ing. which had not materially affected
Uncle Sans little colony.
The colonel said his views on the
fertilization OF the canal were well
known. and 1t was not necessary for
him to say more about the subject He
has advocated Notifications and the
operation Of the canal under trained
ofi1cers and employees. The actual work
will be completed. he said, before
January l. 1915. and 1t is likely the
ditch will be utilized for the passage
OF ships months before the formal
ceremony Of opening.
The colonel said he wanted to get
back on the job again as soon as pos
sible, but he did not know definitely
