TIKI, CANAL SHOWING GATUN LAKE. COLON
AND L1r1oN BAY. SHIPS INTER LIMON BAY

New York to Washington The dam aion
contains more than 2l,oOOWO cubic yards
of material, and enough earth has been
put there to build a roadway a foot thick
and nine feet wide if earth and rock
could be laid on the water from Shanghai
in China across the Pacific ocean TO the
United States, and across the United
States and the Atlantic to Europe, and
thousand miles farther on into the heart
of that continent.
Looking at the dam and the locks from
here. you get faint conception of their
immensely and cost. This impression will
be even less when the water is turned in.
Then everything will be hidden, and it
will be hard to realize that forty or fifty
million dollars have been spent in max
ing the construction now lying below us.
The two million cubic yards of concrete
alone, so Col. Sibert tells me, cost some
thing like 81 per yard. or $14,0O0O0o.
while the excavation cost upward of ST.
100000 more. The gates to all the locks
of the canal are TO cost over $5,U0OOo-
This is a pretty penny, and it is only
when you see the mighty doors, as tall
as an eight-stOry house, made in hum
dreds of thousands of pieces, fitted to-
gether like a watch, that you realize
where that money has gone.
But let me give you q look at the dam.
1t is more like the side hills OF a great
field plowed by the gods than like any
kind of masonry construction. 1t is. in
fact, mountain of earth and rock which
the slaves of Uncle Sans Aladdin lamp
have lifted up bodily and dropped down
between two other little mountains shut
ting IN the valley of the Chagres and
making a lake which will be 1874 square
miles in extent. 1t Is a dam Of earth and
rock. a. mighty mound of excavated ma
teral mile and half long and a half
mile wide at the base. 1t viii be less
than leo feet high. The ground slopes up
gradually from the lake and slopes grad
ually down on the other side 1t is more
like a hill than anything else. like a bar
rier created by nature rather than man.
At the top it will be only 100 feet WIDE
and the water will come within perhaps
thirty feet CT il. At the back, or facing
the Atlantic. it will probably be smoothed
off and sodded; and as Col. Sibert face

But bad the year 1910 was it was

the other material made up of the silt
from the Chagres.
This dam material has, as [ have said
been tested, and there is no doubt but
that it will hold the water. although a
great construction could not be erected
upon it, 1t is only owing to the rocky
hill in the center of the dam that the
spillway could be created. The concrete
of the spillway is founded on rock, and il
looks as though the Lord. when He
created this part OF the earth, dropped
that rocky hill here in order that man
might be able to create water hlgh-
way from ocean to ocean.
AS we went over this vast work. Sqnint-
ing our eyes to keep out the flying sano
from the myriads of spoil trains when
flew by us, j asked Col Sibert If the Dam
was not the most wonderful ever created
He replied that il was the largest dam
ever planned, but that the problem or
making it was one of construction rather
than of engineering. 1t was question
of accomplishing a vast amount or WORK
within a short time rather than one OF
difficult engineering. The principal prob
lem dealt with the handling Of the ma
terial but in other ways the construction
was no more difficult than that OF any
complicated piece of big engineering, ana
not as difficult as some.

would be finished, and as to just when
the canal would be really opened lie re-
piled:

the people that 1t will be opened on July
II. 1913 That may be SO. | certainly
know that it viii be so as to this part OF
the work locks, dam and all.
and lust here 1 want 10 say word
about Col Sibert He is one of the best
equipped civil and mechanical engineers
of i&s time and he has made reputa-
ton as an hydraulic engineer for his
work here at Gatun- He has had charge
of what is known the Atlantic divi-
sion including the impounding of the
waters Of the Chagres and the construc-
ton of the canal from here TO the sea.
Col. Sibert is a graduate of West Point.
and he began his engineering career at
the time he left the academy He made
some reputation in connection with the
great locks at the 500, which he aided in
building, and also in the rebuilding of the
railroad in central LuZon at the close of
our war with the Spanards. After that
he had charge of the construction of the
dam on the Ohio at Pittsburgh, and of
the other river improvements there. 1t
is now over five years since he came to
