beset them at every hand. ~
Goethais to Make Final Test
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be a boat of the
lsthmian canal commission. Col.
George w. Goethals. chairman of the
commission and chief engineer OF the
canal, and his principal assistants.
The final voyage through the canal 10
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month II Is
expected the waters In Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage of the largest ships.
1t Is said that as long ago as the
early part of August. assurances were
given Washington officially that IL the
emergency should arise. the entire
Atlantic battleship feet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within 60 days from that date. The
work has been hurried with that end
in view, II is said. as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance Is an
indication of the belief Of the engi-
neers that their work is now practical

CuIebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation of the Culebra cut.
into which tho water has just been
turned, has been one Of the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
of the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9TH

the central division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion OF the
work through 10 a successful termina-

were discouraging to the engineers.
nullifying in few hours the work OF
many weeks. but Colonel Gaillard and
his assistants have kept untiringly at
their work. and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks of the deep
cut. The engineers believe that the
danger Of slides will be eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut.
A little more than month ago the
giant steam shovels finished their
work In the Culebra cut. Since that
time the workmen have been busy
removing the shovels, the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work. There Is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction

part of the men who have been build.
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters of Gatun lake wero
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
tion OF the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
into the cut today through four 26-
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie. which has held the
waters OF the lake back from the cut
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie Is
finally removed.
The final destruction of the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10. when
charges of dynamite placed in holes
already drilled In the dixie will be ex-
ploded. The explosion OF these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but will weaken 1t and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force OF the
waters from Gatun lake will carry It
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants OF the dixie. leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be Off
cially declared completed for some
time. and the formal opening OF the
waterway to the commerce of the
world more than year distant. the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction OF the Gamboa dixie as mark.
Ing the real completion OF the canal
The big engineering feats have all
been accomplished. the excavation
work practically has been completed.

immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut. is
the pivotal point about which the en-
tire canal system revolves. and the
creation of this lake, together with the
construction Of Gatun dam, consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
In the construction of the canal
Gatun lake Is an artificial body Of
water covering about 164 square miles
of territory and was created by the
building Of the immense Gatun dam
and the impounding of the wild wa
ters OF Chagres river. Beneath the
waters of Gatun lake lies what few
months ago was the valley OF the
CEagres. dotted with native villages
and plantations. The channel OF the
canal passes through this lake for a
distance Of "a miles with width vary
ing from 500 to 1000 feet.
Al the northern end of the lake
is the Gatun dam. which is in reality
an artificial ridge more than D mile
and half long. Figures alone give
an adequate idea OF the magnitude of
this dam. Nearly half mile wide ut

this will be done with suction dreoges
floating upon the waters OF the canal.
There still remain some finishing
touches to be placed upon the locks
but this work will take comparatively
little time and presents no engineer
ing difficulties sucA rs have been en-
countered in the past
The fact that the canal stands prac-
tically complete more than year be-
fore the time originally set as the
date for It's completion is one OF the
remarkable features OF the WORK
When Count de Lesseps. the great
French engineer. abandoned his ef'
forts to build the Panama canal after
eight years of labor, he had scarcely
made a beginning upon the gigantic
task. In nine years. the American
engineers, starting almost at the same
point as de Lesseps, for the latters
work was Of little value to the Amer-
cans. have virtually completed the
undertaking. When the work was
started the world scoffed at the Idea
that Il could be completed within the
time limit set, but hats are now on
to the American army engineers who
have more than kept their word. de-
