Editor News:?I thought a have b letter from this section of the i ing pa country might be of interest to steame your readers as they have been New Y hearing of the Panama canal so with much. It is certainly a wonder coffee to see and I can't imagine such South an undertaking; in fact it is be- cargo, yond describing. It is about nanas, 42 miles long. They are now five or working forty thousand men merun; and about three hundred dirt ent kii trains of 25 cars each. One big three ; job is to get some place to put as fine the dirt and rock that they take where out. They haul most of it 20 at Pa miles and make regular moun- graded tains of it. They get a train of miles ? dirt out every three minutes, tropica The big steam shovels fill a car of it g at three dips. I went on a put on sight-seeing train. This train orange: runs every day and . carries tives a from two to three hundred visi- dians c tors to see the wonder works, groes. Nearly all the visitors are folks; Americans. This train carries men ar you down in the canal for near- have ly ten miles, where they have overall: cut it through Culebra moun- wear a tain. At one point it is 530 those i feet deep and a half mile wide years c at the top and is nearly all very s rock. The canal is three to five looking hundred feet wide at the bottom more b and the water must be not less long, than 41 feet deep at any place people, in the canal. The French government worked on this canal for a num- ** , her of years and it was about to break the government so i h they gave it up. Then a private ' y^u company undertook it and spent cf.lf: forty or fifty million dollars and ' they fell down and gave it up. Was! Then the work stopped for secreta about twenty years when the Daniels United States bought it and are ajj th? hard at work at it. Some of the f, ~ natives here say that it will . never be finished. The engi- ..p \ neers say they expect to turn water in it next September at J 'Vr the Atlantic end for six or t , u, seven miles and at the Pacific ? P. end a mile or so. Through the cPn 1 swampy parts they dig it with P l>P;sr suction dredges and force the \ mud out through 20-inch pipes c ;inc' into hollows or low places. exP?ct> Some places they run it out a (lunn^ mile or more. The unfinished The H parts have eight or ten rail- . road tracks and as they get the dirt out they shift the tracks gein'i/ back and forth. ponds When the French abandoned tvveen i the job they left most of their face> a machinery, steam plows, loco- their r motives, cars, and thousands of boy's v things standing right where a very they stopped work and today blemisl you can see miles of old cars, beauty, engines, etc., rusted to pieces, destine the tracks rotten and trees and boy's b bushes growing among them. mav tr At one place they turned the 0th'er ( course of a river. The river is wbom nearly as large as the Catawba idze, sc at home. They built a dam one sjnce p mile and a quarter long and a ac.quisi half mile thick at the bottom. anat0m this turned the course of the jpv ^an river and made a lake which (MM.
