millions in order to insure its com
pletion.
Since work was begun in 1905, the
dirt has been flying ceaselessly. I'M
mense pile drivers have been sinking
foundations, huge dredges have been
sucking up sand from the bottom Of
the sea TO construct roadbed, and
an army OF between 5000 and 1000
men has been pushing its way
steadily southwark from Miami out
over the waves and tiny islands to-
ward Key West.
The difficulties were many and
the problems to be solved unusual. 1t
was necessary to assemble steam
boats, tugs, lighters, hundreds of
DargeS, launches, float ng derricks
pumps, pile drivers and repair shops
for, since this was to be a railroad
at sea, sea craft had to be utilized
Keys traversed by the line are
mostly uninhabited, though some Of
them are high and dry 1t all sea
sons of the year.
A wide swath had to be cut
through many OF the islands, while
others had to be laboriously built
up from below the sea level Much
OF the land consisted of almost i'm
penetrable swamp. Although a single
track road, the cost of construction
exceeded $3.50, 900 per mile, a world S
record.
One of the most interesting par s
OF the work is the precautions taken
to safeguard the exposed viadu s
against the sea. The yiadutS are
built OF reinforced concrete, resting,
some on deep piling and some on
solid rock. 1t was found after care
full survey that the maximum height
of waves throughout these waters is
20 feet. Accordingly the railroad is
throughout at level of more than 30
feet high above the water. The
highest waves known to this coast,
therefore. could not break over the
top Of the yiaduct.
The longest of the viaducts over
the open sea, that at Long Key, is
nearly seven miles from end to end
II has lS6 arches. Some idea of
the proportions of the undertaking
may be gained from the statement
that this one viaduct used up 1885,. +
600 barrels Of cement, 1T ,0OO cubic
yards Of crushed rock, l0S 900 cubic
yards of sand, 6l2 0l,O lineal feet OF
piling, 800 tons of re.nforci lg rods,
and 100000 fest of dressed lumber
for arch forms.
The longest stretch Of track on
any one of the keys is 16 miles For
long stretches the tracks are shad-
ed by waving forests Of cocoanut
palms, which, with the dazzling white
OF the coral, makes an enchanting
scene.
The new road will make Key
West for all practical purposes

CANAL TO Be OPEN INAYEAB
EARLIER DATE is OFFICIALLY
MADE KNOWN.
Atlantic Fleet VIII Be Assembled Al!
Colon Before Water 10
Turned In.

Washington, d. C.-The Panama
canal is to be opened to traffic in the
fall Of 1913.
This statement was made officially
at the navy department with an an.
nouncement that the Atlantic fleet
would be gathered at Colon this win.
ter before the water Is turned in.
The navy's estimate is based upon
the latest report from the army en-.
gineers.
Secretary Meyer. after consulting
with the isthmian canal commission,
discovered that construction work on
the canal had progressed SO far that
unless action was taken Immediately
there was a probability that the men
Of the fleet would have no opportunity
to examine the connecting link be-
tween the two oceans before 1t was in
operation. The visit of the fleet will
include railroad trips for the men
throughout the canal zone.
The date for the opening Of the
canal originally was set for Jan. 1,
1915, and engineers for some time
had doubted II the engineering difflJ
culties could be overcome to permit
completion OF the work by that date,
The remaining work is said to offer
few obstacles.

Amarillo, Texas, Sept. 1S.-John
Beal Sneed, who shot and killed Al
Boyce on the streets here Saturday
afternoon. broke his silence late Mon
day In the Potter county Jail. His
statement was made just as the fu-
neral of young Boyce was being held.

Boyce is held l am positive that the
story shall tell will win both the &C
Quittal of the jury and the public. It

A new development in the case was
brought out when Snead's attorneys
indicated that AL Boyce had been
writing Mrs. Lena Snead In an effort
to induce her to elope with him for
a second time and this time take
Snead's two children with him. The
prisoners lawyers declare that these
letters will be placed In evidence at
the trial.
Boyce came here from Canada. only
q week ago it is claimed, for the pur-
pose Of rejoining Mrs. Snead and that
the couple were planning to run away
together during the second trial Of
Snead In Fort Worth for the killing
Of Captain Boyce. The trial is sched-

ally means and calls for her husband
and son. Her three sons, Lynn. Hen
ry and VIII. as well as other relatives,
are careful to make no untoward
move, fearing that another eventual
ity will cause the woman's death.
Henry Boyce declared that Snead's
claim that Al was seeking Mrs. Snead
again was false.
"Al came back to Texas to transact
some cattle deals" he said, land was
selling a lot to Tom Snyder. Lena's
brother" A letter from Al to Sny-
der. 1t is declared. was found In the
formers pocket.
The grand jury proceeded more
slowly than expected. II is conduct
