OPENING OF
PANAMA CANAL
To COMMERCE
CANAL WILL OPEN UP SATUR-
DAY, WHEN PASSAGE OF SHIPS
OF ALL NATIONS WILL BEGIN.

Washington, Aug. 13.-More than
four months ahead of the date set
when the board of consulting engin-
GERS in 1906 estimated that it would
take until January 1915 to complete
the Panama canal along the lines
then under way, the United States
government finds itself ready to begin
business next Saturday in selling
tickets of passage to ships of all ma
tions through the new gateway.
1t is just ten years since the govern
ment advertised its purpose to con-
meet the oceans. 1t is nearly 400 years
since Spanish engineer first sug-
gested such a project.
For a time the epoch which this
triumph of engineering marks will
pass unnotiCed so far as celebrations
go, for it is not until next spring that
the great demonstration will be made
but from next Saturday on, the Pana-
ma canal will be an accomplished
fact, and the worlds commerce will
gradually accustom itself to this new
groove.
What it will mean to the world at
large, and to particular nations, and
especially to the United States is a
question around which a great deal of
controversy has waged, now to be an
swered by the canal itself
After the passage Of a government
steamer next Saturday, probably the
Cristobal, any ship up to 10000 tons
register, applying for admission to
the Pacific from the Atlantic, or vice
versa, will be conducted through the
so miles waterway upon the payment
of s1.25 for every ton (neD Of cargo.
Crew and passengers will not be
taxed.
At this nominal expense some two
months sailing time, on a 10000
miles voyage around the South Amer
lean continent can be saved, or the
expense of trans-shipment by railroad
done away with, if desired.
The canal has cost the United
States nearly $4OO,OOO,OOO. That is
approximately what de Lesseps, the
French engineer, figured it would
cost when he undertook the job in
1889. but he spent that and more, in
making only a slight impression, and
ended in utter failure and financial
disgrace.
A year from this time it is figured
that the government will have to
show receipts of some Sl5,O0O,OOO to
pay the operating cost Of the canal
which will be about $4,OOO,OOO yearly,
and the interest on its huge invest

so this year or for many years is a
moot question.

ried through the canal every year for
the first few years, and that later it
will be nearly doubled This, roughly
has been the experience of the Suez
canal. Last year nearly 5000 ships
passed through the Suez, with a net
tonnage Of over 20,0OO,OOO. The
growth in tonnage in 10 years had
been more than 70 per cent.

Wndng, Brookes, Mclaughlin and

greater Weaknesses, however, than
any of the others, as his ground
