ways that they are open to con-
viction.
THE CANAL PROPER.
The canal consists of a sea levs3
entrance channel from the sea
through Limon bay to Gatuu
about seven miles long, 500 feet
bottom width and Al feet deep at
mean tide. At Gatun the 85-fOot
lake level is obtained by dam
across the valley. The lake is con-
fined on the Pacific side by dam
between the hills and Pedro
Miguel locks 80 miles away. The
lake thus formed has an area of
about 164 square miles and a
channel depth of not less than As
feet at normal stage.
AT Gatun ships pass from the
sea to the lake level and vice
versa, by three locxs in flight.
On the Pacific side there is one
lift of so feet at Pedro Miguel to
a small lake held at SIS feet about
sea level by the dams at Mira
flores, where two lifts overcome
the difference of level to the sea.
The channel between the locks on
the Pacific side is 500 feet wide
at the bottom and As feet deep at
mean tide. Through the lake the
bottom widths are not less than
1000 feet for about 16 miles, 500
feet for about four miles, 500 feet
for about three miles, and through
the continental divide or as 1t is
commonly called, the Culebra Cut,
from Bias Obispo to Pedro Miguel,
distance of nine miles, the bot
tom width is 800 feet. The to-
tai length of the canal from deep
water in the Caribbean to deep
water in the Pacific, is practically
so miles. Is miles of which are
ut sea level.
Provisions have been made to
amply protect the entrances of the
canal. During the winter months
occasional storms occur on the
Atlantic side of such violence that
vessels cannot lie with safety in
Colon harbor, and during the
progress of such storms entrance
and .egress from the canal would
be unsafe. To overcome this con-
dition a breakwater has been ex-
tended from Toro point in

Early in the progress of the
work the construction of sea
level canal was agitated; this is
undoubtedly the ideal canal. 1t
took such a hold on the public
mind that, in consideration of the
international Importance of the
work, the president convened
board of consulting engineers TO
consider and report upon the type
of canal which should be adopted.
The minority of the board, five in
number, reported in favor of the
lock type for the reasons that such
a canal would provide greater
safety for ships and less danger
of interruption of traffic by rea-
son of its wider, straighter and
deeper channels, as well as quick
err passage for large ships; the
other considerations were that
such a canal could be built in less
time for less money. On June 20,
1906, the congress authorized the
construction of the lock type of
canal in accordance with the gen.
eral plans of the minority of the
board and the work was carried
on along these lines.
Since then the wisdom of the
choice has been clearly shown
and there is no doubt as to the
ultimate success of the project.
Developments in the form of slides
have brought more prominently to
the front the excellence of the
judgment which accepted the mi
nority plan in lieu of the sea level
plan as advocated by the major
ity, and show how clearly the
greater difficulties that would
have been encountered in an at
tempt to construct a sea level
canal. An English scientist, who
at first was skeptical as to the
Gatun dam, after a visit, thought
that the expressed opinion of the
consulting engineers with refer
ence to the dam, namely, that no
such vast and doubtful expert
ment should be INDUCED in," was
now applicable to Culebra Cut.
There are probably some who still
believe wrong choice was made,
but visit to the Isthmus is a sure
cure for such cases, provided al

only protects the entarnce but
provides a safe harbor. Another
breakwater extended from the
east side of the entrance will give
some protection against sitting and
enable small boats to lay along
side shipping anchored in the out
er harbor during the more severe
trade winds. The Pacific en-.
trance requires no protection
from storms, but the set of the
silt bearing current from the east
is at right angles to the channel
and the sitting made dredging
necessary.

miles.
The lakes submerged the tracks
of the Panama railroad for the
greater part of it's length and as
this road was necessary for con-
struction purposes and for the
operation and maintenance of the
canal, 1t was reconstructed
throughout, with the exception of
few miles at either end. 1t was
originally intended to pass the
new railroad through Culebra Cut
on a ledge, 10 feet above the wa
ter surface, to be left for this
purpose during the excavation of
the channel through the cut, but
the slides and the absolute neces-
sity for keeping open railroad
communication between the two
ends of the line necessitated
change in the location and a new
line to the east of the cut was Sc
lected.

MUSICAL NOTES

One Of the request numbers to be
played Sunday afternoon by the Port
land Symphony Orchestra, at is con-
cert in Grand opera house, is Con
fluentia," by Edgar Stlllman Kelly,
rising young American composer.
Three years before its publication,
the first performance of the number
was given in Portland. AT that time
the Orchestral union was giving con-
certs under the leadership of Simon
Harris. Mr.. Kelly presented Harris
with the manuscript score and parts
of "Confluentia," and the unison pro-
duced it in concert given May
fourth, eighteen-eighty. Through the
courtesy of Mr. Harris, the orchestra
will present it next Sunday
There is an interesting little story
told in connection with the compost
tion Of the "Ruy Bias" overture which
will open the program of the concert
to be given tomorrow at the Grand
opera house by Portland Symphony
Orchestra.
The story was told by Mendels-
sohn in a letter written to his
mother in eighteen thirty-five. Asked
to write the overture and romance
music for the production which was
to be given for the Theatrical PEN
sion Fund, Mendelssohn wrote the
romance music, but because he dis
liked the Victor Hugo play confiding
to his mother that he considered it
"detestable and more utterly beneath
contempt than could be believed" He
did not write an overture.
The committee a few days before
the performance came to him and
thanked him politely for the romance
and said that it was such a pity that
he had not also written an overture,
but that they were perfectly aware
that time was indispensable for such
work" Adding that on the ensu-

les Of its size. A large attendance
at the concert by Salem people will
be fully justified by the splendid pro-
gram and the high skill Of the artists.
The popular airs are intertwined
with more classical, so that the mu-
sic will reach the hearts Of the
masses.
The finest encouragement Salem
can give the surrounding cities to
visit us and participate in our pleas
ures, will be to make the concert
success and insure a full series from
the orchestra next season.
Much has been said in daily papers
throughout the United States, COM
menting upon the generosity of the
Portland Symphony Orchestra in Civ
ing free concerts to school children
and shut-ins Of various state institu-
tions. All of this shows the splendid
spirit Of helpfulness in the West, and
particularly in the state Of Oregon.
Mr.. Carl Denton is a most efficient
conductor and Mr.. George r. Jeffery
an able concert master. Mr.. Charles
Duncan Raft will play the cello leads
and Miss Carmel Sullivan the harp.
Sometime during the concert, prob
ably as a curtain call, Dvorak's "Hu-
