More than 95 per cent of the YES
sells navigating the high seas are less

been taken as the determining factor
for the location of intermediate gates,

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 control
ling their passage through the locks
by means of lines or cables attached
to what may be considered the four
corners of the ship.
Even with all these precautions
accidents may happen, and emer-
gency 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 acct
dent which. makes a connection be-
tween the top level and the level be-
low; wicket girders are let down from
these swing bridges, supported by a
sill at the bottom and the horizontal
truss work of the bridge at the top.
These wicket girders 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-
pIcate locks at Pedro Miguel, over
coming a 30-foot difference of level,
with the necessary dams; two locks

hills by one earth and one concrete

The relocated Panama Railroad
was pushed forward so as to keep
pace with canal construction work ,
Under the Spooner act the presi-
dent was authorized to construct
canal through commission consist
ing of seven members. In January, :
1905, the secretary of war, in letter
to the president, called attention to
this faulty organization. In 1907, the
president simplified matters by COM
bining the duties of chairman and
chief engineer in one person, and r
later the secretary of war vested the
powers of the governor of the Canal
Zone in the same party, thus elimi-
mating the friction that had previous,
" existed be- Teen these three func-
tionaries. All, lority was still further
concentrated by an executive order
in January, 1908, and out of which
the final organization 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 spiIlway. The second had charge
of the designs and construction of
drydocks and coaling stations, of all
questions that arose concerning
shops, buildings, municipal improve.
ments, estimates, allotment of funds,
rates of pay and cost keeping. The
third had charge of meteorology,
river hydraulics, general surveys not
pertaining to any of the construction
divisions, and special Investigations.
Reported directly to the chairman
were the heads of the departments.
of sanitation, civil administration,
law, examination of accounts, dis
bursements, the quartermaster's and
subsistence departments, and the.
purchasing department in the United
States.
