THE ALAMO LUMBER COMPANY

The first ship will pass through the
Panama canal on the 18th Of September
1913. This will be the four hundrcdth
anniversary Of the discovery of the Paci-
fic Ocean by Balboa. Balboa first saw
the Pacific somewhere in the immediate
neighborhood of Panama. While many
other people may have seen il before
from both shores and from the islands in
the middle OF il, yet Sept. -. 1913 was the
first time Balboa saw it; and it never did
anyone, any white person. that is to say,
any good before Balboa got his eye on lit.
Hence the passing OF an American ship
through the canal on the anniversary of
his discovery will be beautifully appro-
pirate. We should all try to be there.
