TEN FIREMEN HURT IN BLAZE
PIant-Damaee Estimated
About $4,000.

Milwaukee.-In fighting the fire
that swept over and resulted in more
than $4,000 damage to the dock and
coal sheds of the Gross Coal company
ten fremen were burned, three of
them seriously. Firemen taken to hos
pitfalls are:
John Donovan, Edward Beck, Mich
ael Sheehan, J. J. Guerin, all badly
burned about the face, hands and
arms.
The fire was discovered in the car
penters shed, just above the engine
room in the center of the coal yard,
when flames and a dense cloud of
smoke burst forth. George Bosch, SUI
perintendent, was directing the work
of a gang of men when he first saw
the flames and turned in the alarm.
Adam Gross, head of the concern,
refused to talk to reporters. He was
heard to say, however, that 100000
will cover the damage. The trestle
and sheds were nearly destroyed,
causing $4,000 damage. The machin-
cry was damaged to the extent of $780,
900. The building was an old one, it's
dimensions being 225x250 feet and

Immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut, is
the pivotal point about which the en-
tire canal system revolves, and the
creation Of this lake, together with the
construction of Gatun dam, consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
in the construction of the canal.
Gatun lake Is an artificial body of
water covering about 164 square miles
OF territory and was created by the
building of the immense Gatun dam
and the impounding of the wild wa
tiers Of Chagres river. Beneath the
waters Of Gatun lake lies what a few
months ago was the valley Of the
Chagres, dotted with native villages
and plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake for
distance of "a miles with a width vary

Removal of Garnboa Dixie Means
End of Work Is Near.
WATERS OF OCEANS MEET
First Steps Are Taken Toward De-
struction of Big Embankment
Which Holds Gatun Lake Out
of CuIebra Cut.

Colon, Panama, Oct. 1.-The climax
of nine years of untiring work on the
part of the men who have been build
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters of Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut. This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
ton OF the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
into the cut today through four &C.
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie, which has held the
waters of the lake back from the cut.
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie is
finally removed.
The final destruction of the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10, when
charges of dynamite placed in holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
ploded. The explosion of these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but will weaken it and loos-
en- the dirt SO that the force Of the
waters from Gatuan lake will carry ii
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants of the dixie, leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean,
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be off,
cially declared completed for some
time, and the formal opening Of the
waterway to the commerce Of the
world more than a year distant, the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction Of the Gamboa dixie as mark
ing the real completion Of the canal.
The big engineering feats have all
been accomplished, the excavation
work practically has been completed,

GoethaIs to Make Final Test.
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be a boat of the
Isthmian canal commission, Col.
George W. Goethals, chairman of the
commission and chief engineer of the
canal, and his principal assistants.
The final voyage through the canal is
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month it is
expected the waters in Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage of the largest ships.
1t is said that as long ago as the
early part of August, assurances were
given Washington officially that If the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleship fleet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within 80 days from that date. The
work has been hurried with that end
in view, it is said, as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance is an
indication of the belief of the engi-

Culebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation of the Culebra cut,
into which the water has just been
turned, has been one of the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
Of the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9TH
er portion of the big ditch To
Col. D. D. Gaillard, the engineer of
the cetnral division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion OF the
work through to a successful termina-
ton
The disastrous slices in the cut
were discouraging to the engineers,
multiplying in few hours the work OF
many weeks, but Colonel Gaillard and
his assistants have kept untiringly at
their work, and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks of the deep
cut. The engineers believe that the
danger of slides will be eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut.
A little more than month ago the
giant steam shovels finished their
work in the Culebra cut. Since that
time the workmen have been busy
removing the shovels, the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work. There is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction
