An earth dam across the Chagres at
Gatun impOunds the water of the river
and creates the lake which constitutes
the highest level of the Panama canal.
The dam is 1900 feet long over all,

feet wide at the base, sos feet through
at the water surface. and 100 feet wide
at the top, which is 10 feet above sea

The dimensions of the dam have

capable of checking a ship of 10, 900
tons moving at the rate of five miles
an hour.
More than 90 per cent of the vessels
navigating the high seas are less than
600 feet in length, and this has been
taken as the determining factor for the
location of intermediate gates, which
are introduced in the design to save
both time and water. For the protec-
ton of the intermediate gates against
vessels using a smaller length of
chamber a chain barrier is TO be in
stalled.
Guide piers are provided both up
stream and down, TO which vessels
will, tie before entering the locks.
Electric towing machines will be
used for towing vessels into and con-
trolling their passage through the
locks by means of lines or cables at
tached TO what may be considered the
four corners of the ship.
Even with all these precautions &C
cidents may happen, and emergency
dams are provided at the head of each
flight of locks, consisting of swing
bridges, which can be thrown across
the locks in case of an accident which
makes a connection between the top
level and the level below; wicket
girders are let down from these swing
bridges, supported by a sill at the bot
tom and the horizontal truss work OF
the bridge at the top. These wicket
Orders act as runways for gates, which

are lowered and gradually stop the
flow.
In the Pacific division the work
consisted of the construction of du-
pncate locks at Pedro Miguel, over
coming a 30-foot difference of level
with the necessary dams; two locks in
flight, also in duplicate, at Mirafiores
connected with the adjacent hills by
one earth and one concrete dam; eX-
cavating the channels between the
locks to the required depths, and the
excavation of the channel to proper
width TO deep water in the Pacific.
The MiratioreS locks are two in
flight overcoming the difference in
level between the Mirahores lake and
the sea level section. The maximum
lift for these locks is about SIS feet.
The relocated Panama railroad was
pushed forward so as to keep pace
with canal construction work.
Under the SpOoner act the president
was authorized TO construct a canal
through a commission consisting of
seven members. In January 1905, the
secretary of war, in letter to the
president. called attention to this
faulty organization. In 1907 the pres
ident simplified matters by com b1ninS
the duties of chairman and chief en-
gineer in one person, and later the
secretary of war vested the powers of
the governor Of the Canal Zone in the
same person, thus eliminating the fric-
ton that had previously existed be-
tween these three functionaries. Au-
thOrity was still further concentrated
by an executive order in January,
1908, and out of which the final or
ganization resulted.
The chief engineers Office was di
vided into three divisions. The first
had charge of designs Of masonry and
lock structures, including valves, lock
gates and protective devices, operating
machinery, movable dams and spill
way. The second had charge of the
designs and construction of drydocks
and coaling stations, of all questions
that arose concerning shops buildings,
municipal improvements, estimates al
lotment OF funds, rates of pay and
cost keeping. The third had charge or
meteorology. river hydraulics general
surveys not pertaining 10 any OF the
construction divisions. and special In
vestigationS.
Reporting directly 10 the chairman
were the heads OF the departments or
sanitation. civil administration, law,
examination OF accounts, disburse-
ments. the quartermaster's and sub
sistence departments, and the pur-
chasing department in the United
States.
Generally speaking, employees were
selected on account OF their special
fitness for the work in hand and We're
then unhampered in their methods or
securing definite results. thus bringlng

fort and brain power. As a conse-

Much has been said and predicted
as to the commercial value of the
canal TO the United States, In this
connection it must be remem bered
country never required the canal. The
trip of the Oregon in 1898 settled the
question of the advisability of con-
structing an Isthmian canal, and had
the canal been built at that time.
thereby saving the trip around the
Horn, there is no question that 1T
would have been agreed generally that
the canal, even at an expenditure OF
1915, 900, 900, was worth while.
With properly regulated tolls, and
with facilities for fully equipping,
supplying and repairing ships, the
Panama route would offer many ad-
vantages and bring TO it sufficiently
remunerative return TO pay not only
for the operating expenses, but to
gradually absorb the debt which the
United States has incurred by its con-
struction.
1t has been asserted in many quar-
tiers that the locks might be destroyed
by one or two men placing dynamite
or other high explosives in them. In
order 10 accomplishe the destruction
of the locks it would be necessary to
place the charge very carefully in
them. To do that would take time,
and what would our men be doing in
the meantime? One man could not
carry a sufficient quantity TO destroy
the locks. You would have to locate
the charge behind a gate and in GER
tain place behind the gate in order to
disable the canal, and you must de-
stroy the canal l cannot imagine
what people operating the canal and
the men having charge of It's defense
would be doing in the meantime.
