ENGINEER IN THE CITY
Charles B. Crook Tells of Cule-

"Many of the Culebra cut slides
were anticipated by the engineers in
charge of the work." says Charles B.
Crook, now registered at the Ogle-

work at Panama, spending much time
there with the engineers, representing
a machinery manufacturing company,
and selling them equipment with
which to do their work.

same cost that would have been nee
essary from the beginning to prevent
these slides, as it is a matter of hand

bought and waiting there to remove

tainside. The public was not allowed
as few people were capable of com
pretending the great blessing it meant
to American commerce to have the ca

millions of dollars on the venture, they

level that it will stand alone.
americans like so well to be hum
