when will the water be let into

and we don't forget the premature and
ridiculous celebration by Ferdinand de
Lesseps many years ago. We will just
turn the water in-that's all. Then we
can complete the excavation there

the work cheaply and rapidly"

ing the central division OF the Panama
canal
Cucaracha in Spanish means a
eockroach. In the Canal Zone it
means the greatest of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
of the Culebra cut so different and so
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach l could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not SO large, and he moves
much more swiftly
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and it first gave the
Americans trouble in 1905, the second
year OF their work on the canal. Be-
tween then and July L, 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards of material was
removed from the canal because Of
1t. The slide had broken nearly 800
feet from the axis of the canal, and
covered an area Of AZ acres. Last fall
the engineers were congratulating
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but in January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom of the cut
What is going to be the cost Of
that slide to the United States?" |
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at
the edge of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds of men
were laboring to remove the vast
mass Of earth and ro1i,.
well" the chief engineer replied, our
estimate is that by the time it is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about $5,O00,000 more
than the cut would have cost if the
slide had not occurred. 1t is still NOV
ing, and has broken so far back that
