WATERS OF OCEANS MEET
First Steps Are Taken Toward De.
struction Of Big Embankment
Which Holds Gatun Lake Out
Of Culebra Cut.

Colon, Panama, Oct 1.-The climax
OF nine years of untiring work on the
part OF the men who have been build
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters OF Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut This simple
operation marked the virtual comDle-
tion of the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
into the cut today through four o.
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 it and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force of the
waters from Gatun lake will carry II
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 a year distant. the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction of the Gamboa dixie as mark

and the great locks have been con-

be done is largely detail, and is but
child's play as compared with that
which has been done. More dirt is
20 be removed from the channel, but
this will be done with suction dredses
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 such as have been en-
countered in the past.
The fact that the canal stands prac-
tically complete more than a year be-
fore the time originally set as the
date for its completion is one of the
remarkable features of the work
When Count de Lesseps. the great
French engineer, abandoned his eff
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 latter's
work was of little value to the Ameri-
cans, have virtually completed the
undertaking. When the work was
started the world scoffed at the idea
that it could be completed within the
time limit set. but hats are now off
to the American army engineers who
have more than kept their word, de-

as may be allowed to pass through.
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
tiers OF Chagres river. Beneath the
waters of Gatun lake lies what a few
months ago was the valley of the
Chagres, dotted with native villages
and Plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake for a
distance of "a miles with a width vary
ing from 500 TO 1000 feet.
At the northern end OF the lake
is the Gatun dam, which Is in reality
an artificial ridge more than a mile
and a half long. Figures alone give
an adequate idea of the magnitude of
this dam. Nearly half a mile wide at
its base, about 400 feet wide at the

Washington.-The tariff revision
bill, Democratic measure on which the
congress has been at work, advanced
to its last congressional stage when
1t came back to the house from the
final conference committee with the
unanimous Endorsement of the Demo

form, reduction in the high cost of
living, campaign against the trusts, in

The measure, consequently, has
larger Importance than that of a mere

be widespread, both on business and
industry and also In connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-

benefited
