PANAMA CANAL
ALMOST READY

Waters of Gatun Lake VIII
Flow Into Culebra Cut To-

neer Gives Word.
LITTLE REMAINS TO
FINISH GREAT WORK

COLON, Panama, Oct. 4.-The Pana
ma canal is nearly completed. Tomor
row at q word from Colonel Goethals
the waters Of the Atlantic and Pacific
will be Joined except for the interven
ing locks. Through four twentysix
inch pipes inserted in the Gamboa dixie
. the waters of Gatun lake will flow into
the Culebra cut, the only portion of
the canal in which, at present, there
is no water.
On next Friday 1t is expected that
sufficient water will have filled the
nine-mi1e cut to act as q cushion whom
the Gamboa dixie Is blown up. Work
men are now drilling thirty-foot holes
in the dixie to take the charges of dy-
Mantle. But these charges will not
demohsh the dixie; they will merely
losen the material 30 that the water
will be able to trickle through and
cut its own channel. The steel dredges
will complete the work Of opening the
channel and once this is done clear
passage from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific will result.
Ready by December.
1t is expected that by December the
waters in Gatun lake will have risen
high enough TO bring the waters in the
entire canal up to the deep water level,
when the large ships can be sent
through.
Without the mighty Gatun lake, a
large artificial body of water made by
impounding the waters Of the Chagres
river in the valley, the entire canal
system would be a failure. Gatun lake
is the feeder for the canal At one
end is the Culebra cut leading down
through the Pedro Miguel locks into
the Miraflores lake, and from there
through the Miraflores locks into the
inlet from the Bay of Panama. At the
other end of Gatun lake the canal
leads through a series Of three pairs
of locks into the channel which has
been dug to Limon bay. The water
level In Gatun lake, when the full sup
ply is accumulated, will be eighty
seven feet above sea level
1t was Just month ago that the
last bit of rock was taken out of Guile
bra cut with the steam shovels. Since
that time the workmen have been re-
moving the shovels, railroad tracks

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

VIM. BUSH-One thing, if we ever
do get DR.. Friedmanns consumption
cure, we will have plenty of turtles
around here for making the serum.
Speaking of turtles reminds me that
they abound over at Kaneohe and Ia
ter on the sport of mounting the backs
the turtles over there and taking a
ride, ought to become a great tourist
pastime. Kaneohe turtles are very
tame, you know.
w. o. SMITH-Instead of shutting
down altogether on irrigation in GER
tain sections, / should think it would
have been wiser plan to have made
the restriction gradual. Thus prob
ably the total deprivation might have
been avoided. For instance, as scare
ity developed, the reduction could
have been made by cutting down the
time to one hour, morning and even
ing, each, and from that, if the neces-
sfty increased, to one hour day.
This plan can be followed in restor-
ing the ordinary privileges of irriga-
ton. AS the supply gradually in
creases, begin with one hour a day,
then allow two hours and finally the
full measure. 1t is a serious matter
to stop irrigation altogether, as has
been done in some parts of the city,
causing the loss of valuable trees and
plants, the spelling of plants and the
reduction of large areas to desert.

SHOW THE FACTS on SUGAR

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-The suggestion Of Represent
alive Irwin of Hilo that the sugar
planters submit to Congress state
ment showing the actual cost of pro-
ducing sugar on each plantation in
the islands is good one and should
be complied with, There is much talk
about the enormous profits on sugar
here, and it will have its effect when
tariff-cutting begins in Congress.

That jury is called not for an independent IN
rcstigdtion. but to ,roIk irith the commission.
The argument that their work would clash is
false and it is being used in desperate efforts to
block the investigation. The commission is nee
essary in order to 90 into the situation fully.
The jury can sit only in the fourth circuit. The
commission can sit anywhere at any time; it
can call witnesses before it or go after the wit
nesses; it can journey over the island of Hawaii
or over the territory if necessary.
Moreover, the grand jury has no facilities for
thorough auditing of Hawaii county accounts
since the beginning of county government, and
that kind of an audit is the only kind that will
tell all the facts about this illegal of the tax
payers money.
The commission will not use its powers I'M
fairly. That much ought to be recognized from
the start The commission does not start out
primarily to investigate alleged crime as Crane
jury does, but to investigate financial tange.
1t will have broad discretionary powers, but
will not abuse them. Any argument that the
commission will unduly interfere with the car
Pying on of business at HilO, for instance,
means nothing but another plan to block the in
yestigation.
The commission, as stated explicitly in Sen
ate Bill 7s, which provides for it, is to report
from time to time its findings. Where indict-
mcnts should follow, the reports will 60 to the
grand jury, and it is to have this grand jury
ready that the attorney general and Judge Par
sons have acted.
The bill should pass the House unamended.
Any serious amendment will emasculate it, will
shear the commission of important and neces-
sary powers Amendments will open the way for
the stirring up of discord between the senate and
the house.
The senate has passed the bill. Hawaii coun-
ty supervisors have volunteered to assume the
burden of expense The house must pass the bill
to keep its record clear and clean.
Gentlemen of the house you cannot afford to
be numbered among those who oppose this meas
ure!
You cannot afford to have your names among
those who are trying to block complete investi-
CATION of Hawaii county affairs.
A complete investigation means that Hawaii
county will benefit, that Honolulu county will
benefit, that Maui county will benefit, that Ka-
uai county will benefit. For we of this territory
will all reap the benefit of honest, impartial in
telligent, constructive criticism of the county
systems of government. We of this territory
have all to learn the lesson of efficiency. And
the Hawaii county investigation will lead direct
ly and inevitably to the teaching of this lesson
to all the territory.
The passage of this bill is not a move against
Hawaii county-it is move for all the terri
tory.
The bill is up for third reading in the House
Bill IS.
Pass it!
You of the House cannot afford to kill it.
The territory is watching you.
