 In three years the canal will be opened to the public Colonel Goeth- als is not buying any new equip ment. but is making the old 20 just as far as he can.

The great organ. ization is slowly but surely break ing up. In another year there will be still fewer of the old tribe left 'i 'i' put lUtTt are men equally as capable in Alaska, and they need the work. The break. ing up of the happy family of con struction men on the Canal Zone would not prevent Alaskans from do- ing efficient work on their railroad if they were given chance. but the doubtful, even dangerous. quality of what would be left of the rolling stock and equipment of the Canal Commission certainly makes it seem wiser to start right by purchasing that which We know will be suitable. and not throw away what chance we might have of getting this great necessity by having the first few miles of construction cost so much, because of unsound or unsuited ma tcrial, that the government would decide it's cost would not permit Uncle Sam to guarantee the bonds of the proposed railroad.

the worlds history. For thirty-two years this man has given his time and thought to the one subject.
 Now let us consider for q minute what the equipment of the lsthmian canal Commission tor l. C. O and the Panama railroad consist of. Those of the commission are mostly powerful locomotives that have seen about five or six years of service over the worst kind of roadbeds. They have been nursed and doctored and pruned by the best group of machinists and engineers that money could obtain. They have hauled rock. sand and human freight over the 40 odd miles that separates the Atlantic from the Pacific many times. With the exception of those used exclu- sively by the Panama railroad for passenger traffic between Colon and Panama city they are all coal burn CTS. The rest of the rolling stock consists of dump cars. flat cars. and few box cars The discarded coaches of the Panama Railroad company would he valueless for to make a train equiped for tropical service comfortable for travel in this country would require almost as great an expenditure as would the construction of new coaches.
 The heavy traffic on the canal has made the laying of only the heaviest rails possible The average track running through the bottom of the cut is decidedly temporary one. Oftimes the big track layer will simply drop a mile or so in a place and pull it up again in less than week The poor roadbed the constant strain of the heavy loads, the everlasting handling of the rails must certainly affect them. IL seems then that the colonel is
