SLIDES BIGGEST on RECORD.
Ten Million Cubic Yards of Earth in
Motion.

Panama, Oct 10.-A careful sur
vey Of the slide area in the Gai!lard
Cut reveals that there probably are
100000 cubic yards of earth in
motion, which must be taken out by
dredging before a permanent channel
is possible. This is the conclusion
reached by the canal engineers, who
concede there now is little hope of
opening the waterway, even for the
temporary use of shipping, much be-
fore the first of the year.
The present rate of wet excava-
ton is million yards month and
at this rate it would require not less
than ten months to remove the mass
now sliding into the canal consider
ably faster than the dredges can take
it out
It is said that often the canal bot
tom bulges up to height of fifteen
feet above the surface Of the water
due to the tremendous weight OF the
hillsides.
The area of motion is roughly CAL
culated to be in the neighborhood OF
ITS acres, which constitute the
greatest slide area in the history of
the canal. 1t extends $500 feet
along both banks of the waterway,
with probably an average of 1,5OO
feet back of the centre line of canal

AS it is not likely that another
bonus offer will be made any time
soon, we suggest that this is a splen-
did opportunity for each contestant
to receive some extra votes in an
easy manner.
We appreciate the fact that in Of

flied.

votes.
Look for your name among the list
of contestants today. Let your friends
know that you want that beautiful
suite of bedroom furniture, or one
of the other prizes. They will help
you. They have helped a good many
of the contestants already. Every
mail brings US renewals now, and of
course they all want to vote for one
of the contestants, and as matter OF

contestants who is working. There
keep your vote up among the lead
ers. Don't lag behind, when only
little earnest solicitation among your
friends will keep you at the front.

sition. Take your stand at the top
and stay there. Tell your friends
you are in the contest, that you are
going to stay right there until the
wind-up, and to help you to win.
Prizes such as The Herald is CIV
ing away are not to be had for the

the contest to the end and collect as
much as five dollars-which of course
you will, if you work at all.
Let everybody get busy now. This
is good humored game, and there
is a lot of fun in it. The Herald
wants that thousand new subscrib-
ers, and we must have them. You
do the work; we pay for every bit
of work you do.

at least one. We expect every con-
testant to turn in at least one club.
