me Panama canal is open.

The Panama canal is open.
Colonel GOethals, its chief engineer,
journeyed through it Saturday on the
steamship Ancon, and it was officially
declared open to the commerce of the
world. Colonel Goethals had as his
guests on board the vessel the digni-
taries of the Panama republic and
their ladies'. During the day he re.
ceived numerous messages of congrat.
ulation from the United States, the
most notable being that from Presi
den Wilson.
The opening of the canal Saturday
was followed Sunday by four mer
chant vessels entering the canal at
the same time, two of them making
the trip from the Atlantic and two
from the Pacific end.
The Ancon, 10000 tons register,
owned by the United States war de-
partment and leased to the Panama
railroad for the New York to Colon
trade, did not discharge her cargo as
II was planned to have her make the
voyage fully loaded.
Entering the Gatun locks at 8
o'clock the ninehour run brought
the Ancon to the end of the deep
water channel in the Pacific at s
o'clock IN the evening. The passage
of the Cucaracha slide in Culebra cut
was made shortly before noon. The
canal regulations provide speed limit
of fifteen knots in the wider and
deeper channels of Gatun lake, but in
the Culebra cut not more than six
knots an hour will be allowed. Every
move which ship makes will be re.
corded on plotting charts in the port
captains offices at either end of the
waterway. The ships location will be
reported at every turn by telegraph.
Those aboard included Governor
Goethals, the canal builder, and nu
merous other high officials and Presi

indicate that Russia has completed

Great Britain, France and Russia
have sent sharp communication to

Steelton over a somewhat larger part

make Sparrows Point n livelier spot.

came?' I fancy that Mr.. Donner cut
his first teeth on bit of steel and so
got his taste for it right in the be-
ginning.
when hardly more than a boy he
created the town of Monessen-the first

ana the town just naturally grew up on
THAT did so well-and they say Mr.
Donner never turns around for less
than 81, ,000-he planted another
mill at Donora and there sprang into
existence second town.
III. c. Frick says he is the best steel
man living, and H. c. ought to be a
nifty Judge on such matters. Anyhow,
they got MI Donner to take hold of the
huge Cambria Steel Company, and as
you Know, he has Just been selected to
manage the pennsylvania Steel Com
panE; which Is a sister concern.
THESE are the new COMPANIES which
A. j. Cassatt, at the suggestion of Eff
hngham r. Morris bought for the
Pennsylvania Railroad for a price which
looks small compared with their pres
ent value.

material now just in his hands,
