passed through the canal BY then.
Formal Opening, Jan. !, 1915.
Though the formal opening of the
canal to the commerce Of the world
will not take place until Jan. I, 1915.
It Is expected that many vessels of
large draft will pass through 1t this
fall or Mt least before the end Of jan
uary. 1914.
Quite naturally the honor Of being
the first to navigate the great water

about ten and one-half hours. From

First Passage This Month.
The canal commissions boat is ex.
pected to make the initial passage
shortly after the middle Of this month.
The Fran will probably go through
some time between Oct. Is and 81 or
during the first week In November.
Theoretically at least, with the demo-
lition Of the Gamboa dixie, an all water
route Is established between New York
