satisfactory route could be obtained.
IL was while officials Of this country
were debating routes that France
stepped in, and for 2S years, or until
1904, succeeded in controlling opera
tions. The failure OF several French
companies is we'll known. Congress
on March 8, 1899, passed an act au-
thorizing the president to appoint
commission TO make complete in
yestigation with a view TO construct
ing a canal. This commission con-
sidered principally the Panama and
Nicaragua routes.
In 1901 it reported in favor of the
Nicaragua route, considering the de-
mands of the New Panama Canal
Company for its franchise and prop
erty more than balanced the other
advantages of the Panama route. In
1902 the commission made a supple
mental report in favor of the Pan
anna route, and recommended a lock
canal, Congress then passed the
"Spooner Act" authorizing the presi-
dent to proceed with the work on the
Panama canal route. II was not,
however, until the province Of Pana-
ma had seeded from Colombia and
established herself as an independent
state that a satisfactory treaty could
be made, involving the payments to
Panama under certain terms OF s10,-
100000 as lump sum and annual
payments OF s250,000 beginning nine
years after the signing of the treaty.
Under this treaty the United States
guaranteed the independence of Pan
anna and obtained absolute control
over the canal zone, strip ten miles
wide with the canal in the center run
ming forty-five miles from sea to sea,
with an area of 44S square miles.
The United States also has jurisdic-
tion over the adjacent water for three
miles off shore at either end of the
canal. The formal transfer OF the
property took place May 4, 1904, and
following preliminary organization
and other advance work, actual con-
struction was started January, 1907

speaking, the waters OF Gatun lake
will simply flow both ways.

the breaking in two of the backbone
OF two continents finally completed,

Americas triumph in the building of
