A WORD FROM THE EDITOR.

The News-Times presents today TO
its readers the first part OF THE Story
of the Panama CanaI'' written by Col.
George W. GOethals, the man who
built the canal-that most stupendouS
piece OF human handiwork in the
worlds history. This is the first ar
tiC1e Col. GoethaIs has written since
he took charge i'm Panama a half
dozen years ago. Although often inn
portuned by magazines and news
papers, Ire would not put his pen TO
paper until his job was practically
completed. The News-TimeS has Sc
cured exclusive rights of publication
of this important article i'm this city.
In Part T., which we print today,
Col. GOethals gives an outline of the
kind of canal proposed to be built
and some idea of the objections TO ii
that were first raised, as well as the
enormous difficulties that had to be
met and overcome in the building. He
starts his story from the enactment of
the first Panama legislation by the
United States congress. In very brief
form he tells of the discussion of the
sea level and lock types which ragged
throughout the country. Col. GoethalS'
story Is a plain, simple tale of a won
derful achievement. The language is
direct as are his methods. 1t can be
understood as well by the school child
as by the teacher who reads it TO him.

METHOD|STSPLA
To RAISE $4,000
ON THANKSGIVING
First Church People Hope to
Clear Off All Indebtedness in
Single Day-Many Pledges
Already Made.

A gigantic plan to make a Thanks
giving offering of $4,000 will be
launched Thursday by the official
board of the First NJ. =. church for
the purpose of raising a fund to wipe
away the estimated deficit for the con-
structiOn of the new church on n.
Main st.
Already several large donations
have been promised, some ranging as
high as $1,000 by individuals. The
estimated cost Of the magnificent ed
ifice grounds and equipment is ap-
proximately $125,0OO. Practically
$4,000 is in hand, leaving $5O,O00 to
be raised.
A canvass Of the members of the
church will be made Thursday in au-
tomobiles by a special committee and
it is hoped by shutdown that the en-
tire amount will be furnished.
A few years ago the members
pIedged a large amount which 1t was
planned to be used to repair the old
building. Before the work started on
the old structure it was decided to
build the new church and these
pledges will not be considered in rails
ing the money Thursday as they have
been dropped entirely.
The outside of the new church is
practically complete and work on the
interior has begun. 1t will be one Of
the most beautiful structures in the
state.
Letters were sent out to all the
members of the church containing
statements OF the cost of equipping
and constructing the building. The
grounds were purchased for S25,750.
The interior decorations will cost over
$4,000. The art glass windows will
cost over $4,000 and the carpets will
cost another $4,000.
other estimates for the costs Of in
terror fixtures are chairs $1,000; light
ing and fixtures. $500; vacuum
cleaner, $500 paving and walks, $500;
hardware, $1,000; kitchen furnishings,
5000; gas CRATE. S35; and architects
fees estimated at S3,240.25. The total
estimate Of cost is S121,43O. To this
sum must be added plans for remodel
ing the old church, attorney fees,
street improvements for the old build
ing and other expenses making a total
in all OF S124.095.

Articles ON Panama Canal

the lock type of canal, in accordance
with the general plans of the minority
of the board, and the work was car
ried on along these lines.
Since then the wisdom Of the choice
has been clearly shown, and there is
no doubt 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
minority plan in lieu of the sea level
plan as advocated by the majority.
and show how clearly the greater diff
culties that would have been encount-
cred in an attempt 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 or the consulting
engineers with reference to the dam,
namely, that no such vast and doubt
full experiment should be indulged
in, was now applicable TO the Culebra
Cut There are probably some who
still believe a wrong choice was made,
but a visit to the IsthmuS is a sure
cure for such cases, provided always
that they are open to conviction.
The canal consists of a sea level en-
trance channel from the sea through
Limon bay to Gatun, about seven miles
long, 500 feet bottom width and Al
feet deep at mean tide. At Gatun the
S5-foot lake level is obtained by dam
across the valley. The lake is confined
on the Pacific side by dam between
the hills and Pedro Miguel locks 50
miles away. The lake thus formed
has an area of about 164 square miles
and a channel depth of not less than
40 feet at normal stage.
At Gatun ships pass from the sea to
the lake level and vice versa, by three

1t is not possible in the time at my
disposal to enter upon a description of
the explorations and Investigations
which were made Of the various routes
proposed for a canal joining the two
oceans, nor can any account be taken
of the consideration which resulted in
the United States finally adopting the
Panama route. Suffice il TO say that
under the Spooner act, approved June
2S, 1902, the president of the United
States secured the necessary cOnces-
sion from the republic of Panama,
purchased the rights and property of
the French New Panama Canal Co.
and undertook the construction of the
canal May 4, 1904.
The Isthmus of Panama runs near
" east and west, and the canal trav-
erses 1t from Colon on the north 10
Panama on the south, in a general
direction from northwest 10 southeast.
the Pacific terminal being - miles
east Of the Atlantic entrance.
The greatest difficulty OF the Pana-
ma route was the control or disposi-
tion of the Chagres river and its tribu-
taries. The canal which the president
was authorized to construct by the
provisions Of the SpoOner act was the
lock type recommended by the first
isthmian canal commission in its re-
port submitted Nov. 16, 1901. This
plan provided a lake for controlling
the Chagres. following along the plans
OF the New Panama Canal Co. there
by utilizing 70 the fullest extent the
work already accomplished.
Early in the progress OF the work
the construction Of a sea level canal
was agitated: this is undoubtedly the
ideal canal Ii took such hold on
the public mind that, in consideration
of the international Importance OF the
work. the president convened a board
OF consulting engineers 10 consider
the report upon the type of canal
which should be adopted. The minor
ity OF the board. five in number, re-
ported 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 reason of its wider straighter and
deeper channels. as well as quicker
passage for large ships: the other con-
slderations were that such a canal
could be built in less time for less
money. on June %, 1906, the con-
gress authorized the construction OF
