NOTES OF PROGRESS.
Work at the Spillway or Gatun Dam.
Following the completion and closing of the
upper guard gates in Gatun Locks. the duisce
gates in the ogee of Gacun Spillway dam were
closed on August 17. The upper lock gates;
are holding the water pumped out of the cul-
verts, up to the level of the emergency darn
sill plus 37.4, with very slight leakage. The
surface of the lake is rising about .5 foot per
day, and its rise and spread are plainly per-
ceptible. The old Panama railroad em-
bankment between Gatun and Lion Hill is
discernible only by a scant fringe of the tops
of weeds.
At the Spillway. concrete is being plai.ed
from the trestle built out to the ogee from the
east side of the Spillwa-, channel, across the
intake of the pe-nitocks for the hydroelectric
station. The work at present is on the abut-
ment at the east end of the ogee. It will be
built to 115 feet above sealevel, and will take
the place of a pier in the support of the regu-
lating gate at the east end of the ogee. Wood-
en forms are being erected for the building
of several of the piers which will be placed 45
feet apart along the top of the dam The
14 gates which will be raised and lowered be-
tween piers to regulate the surface of the lake,
when it is higher than 50 feet above sealevel,
have been assembled by the forces of the
McClinric-Marshall Company, in the aban-
doned borrow pit north of the division office
building. All of them have been erected to
full height, the work yet to be done on them
consisting of sheathing, riveting, and caulking.
Transfer of Air Compressor Equipment.
Construction work, in connection with the
new terminal at Balboa, requires additional
facilities for the supplying of compressed air,
and to this end, one air compressor and one
boiler will be transferred from Las Cascadas
and installed in the plant at Balboa, which,
with the two small compressors already there
will, in part, relieve the situation. It is prob-
able that by October I work in the Central
Division will have advanced sufficiently to
permit the transfer of one compressor and two

boilers remaining at La- Cascadas, to Balboa,
which w ill furnish an adequate supply ulf cm-
pressed air at a proper working pressure for
all purposes. For the present, however, the
additional equipment %will be u-ced in furnish-
Ing air mainly to the 20tripod drills now en-
gaged in the terminal work. while the well
drill. and small concrete mixers to be set up.
will have to be operated by steam The
transfer of the machinery, which is in charge
of the Mechanical Diaision, will necessitate
the construction of a spur track leading from
the nearest available track in the Easi Balboa
yard to the compressor plant

New Break In H%ei, Bank at Culebra.
Another break occurred in the west bank
of the Canal at Culebra, near where the ob-
servation platlurm formerly ,toud. about; mid-
night, Monday, August 26. The section of
the bank that gave way consisted of a pro-
jecting mas,, which s-ttledl, and. following the
usual course, heaved up in the bottom of the
Cut. The material overeitowed one of the con-
struction tracks, and partly buried steam-
shovel No. 219. but when the machine was
freed, it was found to be onl, slightly dam-
aged. The amount of material in'ulved in
this break, which in reality furms a part of the
main break on the west bank at Cultbra, is
estimated at about 900.00ill cubic yard.
The situation in the Cut. north of Empire,
,%here a briak o.curr-:d in thiL Obispo Di\er-
siun on August 20. is well under control, and
construction rrains began ',pr.iating out ut their
north end on Wedinesdad August 28. A
temporary dike has been built across the bijt-
tom of the Cut, and the trains will use it in
passing around the toe of the slide. The
dike serc-s the additional purpose of keeping
the water that e-c:apes from the diversion
channel, while it is beine relocated, from find-
in uis way through the Cut souuthward Une
pump, mounted un a flat car, operated b-.
steam supplied by locomotives, has been kept
in operation continuously since the da-, of the
slide, and has unwatered the greater part uo
the inundated section, emptying the water in-
to the drainage ditch on the north side ol the
dike. A steamrnhovel has been working day
and night excavating a new channel lor the
diversion. The slope of the hill back ul the
former channel is ve'ry abrupt, and in making
the new one, the e-sa(ation is wholly in the
side of this hill, the material removeLd being
dumped on the opposite side tu form a retain-
ing wall for the relocated diversion. A cruss-
section measurement of the break shows that
about 300,0OO cubic yardi of material will
have to be taken out at this point

Reconsrtuction of Culebra Clubhouse.
The continued breaking back of a slide on

appointed to investigate the collapse of a
section of the Panama railroad wharf at

lollo]ws:
"The committee concludes that there vas
a sudden sliding .,f 8.00Ucubic .ardr from the
killing, or mole, in the rear of the dock, which
tarried aaiay the pile- supporting the latter,
causing it to tollape. Further, that the shl
ding mass was projected against the ship's
side with a force that cau-ed it to list suffici-

ently for a large volume of water to enter
open ports and deck hatches, resulting in her
sinking within 10 minutes.
"The committee recommends that the in-
vestigation be continued, with a view of ob-
taining complete information regarding the
condition of the Newpopn, and ascertaining
the de-gree of list at the time of sinking; also,
tou enly the condition of the piling, and other
members of the dock structure."

Section II. That section five of the Act
to regulate commerce, approved February
fourth, eighteen hundred and eighty-seven,
as heretofore amended, is hereby amended by
adding thereto a new paragraph at the end
thereof, as follows:
"From and after the first day of July, nine-
teen hundred and fourteen, it shall be unlaw-
ful for any railroad company or other common
carrier subject to the Act to regulate com-
merce to own, lease, operate, control, or have
any interest whatsoever (by stock ownership
or otherwise, either directly, indirectly,
through any holding company, or by stock-
holders or directors in common, or in any
other manner) in any common carrier by
water operated through the Panama Canal
or elsewhere with which said railroad or other
carrier aforesaid does or may compete for
traffic, orany vessel carrying freight or passen-
gers upon said water route or elsewhere; and
in case of the violation of this provision each
day in which such violation continues shall be
deemed a separate offense."
Jurisdiction is hereby conferred on the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to determine
questions of fact as to the competition or pos-
sibility of competition, after full hearing, on
the application of any railroad company or
other carrier. Such application may be filed
for the purpose of determining whether any
existing service is in violation of this section
and pray for an order permitting the con-
tinuance of any vessel or vessels already in
operation, or for the purpose of asking an
order to install new service not in conflict
with the provisions of this paragraph. The
commission may on its own motion or the
application of any shipper institute proceed-
ings to inquire into the operation of any ves-
sel in use by any railroad or other carrier
which has not applied to the commission and
had the question of competition or the possi-
bility of competition determined as herein
provided. In all such cases the order of said
commission shall be final. If the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall be of the opinion
that any such existing specified service by
water other than through the Panama Canal
is being operated in the interest of the public
and is of advantage to the convenience and
commerce of the people and that such ex-
tension will neither exclude, prevent, nor re-

duce competition on the route by water under
consideration, the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission may. by order, extend the time during
which such service by water may continue to,
be operated beyond July first, nineteen hun-
dred and fourteen. In every case of suchex-
tension the rates, schedules, and practices uf
such water carrier shall be filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and shall be
subject to the Act to regulate commerce and
all amendments thereto in the same manner
and to the same extent as is the railroad or
other common carrier controlling sLiurh water
carrier or interested in any manner in itsopera-
tion- Provided, Any application for extension
under the terms of this provision filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission pri.,r
to July first, nineteen hundred and fourteen,
but for any reason not heard and disposed ol
before said date may be considered and grant-
ed thereafter.
No vessel permitted to engage in the coast-
wise or foreign trade of the United States shall
be permitted toenter or pass through said Ca-
nal if such ship is owned, chartered, operated,
or controlled by any person or company which
is doing business in violation of the provisions
of the Act of Congress approLed Jul% -seLund,
eighteen hundred and ninery, entitled "An
Act to protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraints and monopolies." or the
provisions ol sections sesenty-three to seven-
ty-seven. both inclusnie, of an Act approved
August twenty-seventh, eighteen hundred and]
ninct-flour, entitled "An Art to reduce taxa-
tion, to provide revenue for the Government,
and for other purposes." or the prou\ sions of
any other Act of Congress amending or
supplementing the said Act of July second.
eighteen hundred and ninety, commonly
known as the Sherman Antitrust Act. and
amendments thereto, or said sections of the
Act of August twenty-seventh, eighteen hun-
dred and ninery-four. The question ol fact
may be determined by the judgment of any
court of the United States of competent juris-
diction in any cause pending before it to n which
the owners or operators of such ship are par-
ties. Suit may be brought by any shipper
or by the Attorney General of the Lnited
States.
That section six of said Act to regulate
commerce, as heretofore amended, is here)
amended by adding a new paragraph at the
end thereof, as follows;
"\\hen property ma) be or is transported
from point to point in the United States by
sail and water through the Panama Canal
or otherwise, the transportation being by a
common carrier or carriers, and not entirely
within the limits of a single State, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission shall have juris-
diction of such transportation and of the car-
riers. both by rail and by nater, which may or
do engage in the same. in the following par-
ticulars, in addition to the jurisdiction given
by the Act to regulate commerce, as amended
June eighteenth, nineteen hundred and ten.
"(a) To establish physical connection be-
tween the lines of the rail carrier and the dock
of the water carrier by directing the rail car-
rier to make suitable connection between its
line and a track or tracks which have been
constructed from the dock to the limits of its
right of way, or by directing either or buth
the rail and uater carrier, individually or in
connection with one another, to construct and
connect with the lines of the rail carrier a spur
track or tracks to the dock. This provision
shall only apply where such connection is
reasonably practicable, can be made with safe-
ty to the public, and where the amount of bus-
iness to be handled is sufficient to justify the
outlay
"The commission shall hase full authority
to determine the terms and conditions upon
which these connecting tracks, when con-
structed, shall be operated, and it may, either
in the construction or the operation of such
tracks, determine what sum shall be paid to or

by either carrier. The provisions of this par-
agraph shall extend to cas-es here the dock
is owned by other parties than the carrier
in Iolved.

ma cathedral on Sunday morning, August 18.
The Rt. Rev. Gaspard Stork, the bishop of
Costa Rica. was the officiant, and the bishop-
elect was the Rev. Dr. William Rojas, priest
of the Order of St. Vincent. The ceremony
was carried out according to the ancient rites
of the Roman Catholic Churt h. but on ac-
count of local conditions, slight divergences
were permitted, chief among these bung the
attendance upon the consricrating bishop of
two priests in the place of two bishops, as
required by the canonical law. Besides the
six priests in attendance upon thi two bishops.,
there were present in the chancel twelve of
the local clergy, several brothers in orders, and
one layman, or server. Among the priests
were the superior of the Jesuits of the col-
lege of Panama, and a visitor of the Salaisan
Fathers of Costa Rica. At 9 o'clock, the pro-
cession of priests, acolytes, the bishop of
Costa Rica, and the bishop-elect crossed the
square from the palace to the cathedral, and
at 11 o'clock, when the ceremony was con-
cluded by the singing of the Te Deum and the
Credo, the procession reformed, headed by
the two bishops, preceded by their symbols of
office. The bishop of Costa Rica arrived in
Panama on Monday, August 12, and took
up his residence in the episcopal palace in
Cathedral Square. He was accompanied by
two priests and one layman from the cathe-
dral in San Jose. He left for Costa Rica on
the Turrialba, on Tuesday, August 20.

NOTES OF PROGRESS.

Erection of Emergency Dams
Arrival of recent shipments has placed on
the Isthmus all of the material for the emer-
gency dam for the cast chamber of Gatun
Locks. with the exception of the gates, which
are not essential to the progress of erection at
present; and most of that for the we t chamber
dam. Erection is confined at present, hov.evc-r,
to the east dam. All of the steel work on the
quadrant over which the short arm of the
bridge will travel is in place on its concrete
base. The large center casting on which the
bridge will pivot is in position; the center
track. 30 feet 4 inches in diameter, surround-
ing the casting, has undergone final adjust-
ment; and all of the heavy center girders,
which are to turn on discs about the center
casting, are erected in place. The force of
the American Bridge Company, in charge of
erection, was increased on August 9, by eight
bridgemen, and on September 3, by four
bridgemen. from the United States.

New Cement Bids.
Bids were opened at the office of the Gen-
eral Purchasing Officer in W'ashington on
September 3 for furnishing an additional mil-
lion barrels of Portland cement for use on the
Canal and auxiliary works, under Circular
721. The specifications provided that this
amount may be increased or decreased be-
tween 30 and 15 per cent at the option of the
Canal Commission. The rate of delivery
under the proposed new contract will proba-
bly vary from a minimum of 2,000 barrels to
a maximum of 5,000 barrels a day from the
date deliveries begin until July 1, 1913, and
from that date until the completion of the
contract, the deliveries will probably range
between 500 and 3,000 barrels a day. De-
liveries will be expected to be begun not
earlier than November 1. 1912. and not later
than January 1, 1913, and may extend over a
period of two years. In making a contract,
the Canal Commission will reserve the right
to select the bid, or combination of bids, that

will, in its judim-rent., be most adantageouts
to the United States.
The original contract for furnishing cement
for u-e on the Canal work was awarded to the
Atlas Portland Cement Company, in January,
1909. and called for the delivery ol 4,500.000
barrels at the minimum rate of delivers of
2.1100 barrels, and the maxirnum rate of 10,000
barrels a da,,, with the right to increase the-
order 15 per cent. Up to August I, over 4.000,-
000 barrels had been received on the Ithmus.
and there still remained tobe shipped approxi-
mately 500.000 barrel-. The price' under the
existing contract ucre $1.19 per L.arrel in
wood, and 92 cents [pr barrel in bag-. calcula-
ting bags to the barrel, this price being con-
tingent on the return to the mantilacturer Mrl

Improving the Sabhnas Road
The work of resurfacing that part of the
Sabanas road lvin- within the limits of the
Canal Zone has been completed fr.r a distance :
of about two miles, beginning at the Zone
line. just beyond the 'S.bana; police station.
Since the original work was authorized it
has been decided also to resurfa._e and other.
wise improve the Tumba Nluerit road, one
and one-half mile-s mneg, which branche- oil
and gives accessibility to a number ,f farm-
houses situated to the north of the Sabana-
highway.
The workiof impro. ement coJn.i-r. in cu t-r-
ing the road with a las ter of No. 2J rushed rock
to a depth of four in-his;. dre-sing ir ,ith a
coat ul screening-. and then rolling. Thi work
was begun at the eastern boundary of the
Zone, in order nor to subject the completed
section to the wearof the hea,\, wagons trans-
porting crushed rock and uther supplie'
When the rolling is finished, the road will be
treated with several kinds of r-ad oil to de-
termine the grade best adapted for use on the
roads ol the Canal Zone. One hundred and
twenty barrels of oil for thi, purpose were re-
ceived during the month of June, about 40
barrels each of Texac.o. Tarven. and the pro-
duct manufactured b, the West India Oil

Company It i; purposed to diride the road
into 'ec-iun-, each section to be treated with
a different kind of oil. In addition, a further
te-t will be madleof the crude oil manufactured
by the Union Oil Compan'. of California,
which was applied to -everal Canal Zone road.
during the past dr:, season The Sabanas
road is much uzed by automobiles, and on thi'
account, the macadam has been subjected to
greater wear. It i- believed that the use ol
oil will not only serve as a du-t preventive
but will effectively bind the macadam a-.
well.

THE CANAL RECORD

OBISPO DIVERSION.

Work Done Since Construction to Prevent I[n
Breaking Into the Canal.
The Obispo Diversion, which takes care of
the water from the drainage area on the east
bankoftheCanal, between Gold Hill and Gam-
boa, has given trouble at four different points
along its route of five or six miles during the
past year, and the work of relocating the
channel to remove it from the danger zone is
at present in progress at three of these places.
During the French canal times, and up to
1909, the Obispo River flossed into the Cut.
thence found its way to the Chagres River.
As the excavation in the Canal, through this
section, proceeded, it became evident that
this flow would have to be diverted, and on
June 1, 1909, an artificial channel was com-
pleted. It begins near the foot of Gold Hill,
and practically parallels the Canal to a point
opposite Haut Obispo, where the hills were
so close to the Cut that the diversion was
turned into ravine which ends in the Chagres
River about one-fourrh of a mile above Gam-
boa. The drainage area of the diversion is
about 10 square miles, the greatest flood re-
corded in the Obispo River during French
times being on June 23, 1881-6,014 cubic feet
per second. Thegaging was taken just below
the La Pita River, so that it included the flow
of the Camacho. which does not run into
the diversion at present. It has been esti-
mated that this discharge of 6,014 cubic feet per
second would be about 4,201 cubic feet under
present conditions. The diversion was con-
structed to carry 6,000cubic feet per second at
its outlet, with a depth of 13 feet, and a
velocity of over seven feet per second. Its
bed, for 14,500 feet, has a fall of 5.28 feet to
the mile, and for 9,000 feet, 13.2 feet to the
mile. The bottom width of the channel
averages about 50 feet. The original exca-
vation aggregated 1,108,662 cubic yards, but
additional excavation from time to time
since, on account of changing the channel.
has brought the total excavation to July 1,
1912, to 1,238,389 cubic yards. The fir-t
cost was about $1.000,000.
Although located well back from the east
bank of the Canal, as it existed in 1908 and
1909, the frequent slips and slides have
brought the diversion, in several places, in
close proximity to it, with the result that two
extensive breaks have occurred, and several
other points have been threatened. The di-
version was located and mostly excavated
between Gold Hill and La Pita before the
width of the Canal was changed from
200 feet at the bottom, to 300 feet. Local
conditions made it necessary for economy
at the time to widen out 75 feet on the east
side and 25 feet on the west. Had it not
been widened out 75 feet on the east side,
most of the slides would not have reached
to the original location.
The first break of importance took place
on May 7. 1910, at a point a short distance
north of Empire. known as La Pita, and
allowed the water from the diversion to in-
undate the Cut to a depth of 55 feet above
sealevel. The damage was temporarily re-
paired by the construction of a wooden flume,
which was substituted subsequently for one
of concrete.
In March of this year, a crack appeared on
- the west side of the diversion, south of the
Empire suspension bridge, near Station 1725,
which indicated a movement in the bankin-

evolving between 400,000 and 500.000 cubic
yards of material, and threatened th-e dlter-
sion back from the bank of the Canal for a
distance of about b00 feet. During the follow.
ing month, the diversion was relocated 5501
feet, at its most distant point, farther to the
east, by making a detour 1.970 feet long, which
caused the excavation of 26,128 cubic sarls;.
The Empire-Paraisu wagon road, and the
railroad, were shifted at the same time to
the west bank of the new channel.
A few months aeo, the slide between Sta.
tnon 1618 and Station 16.37 on the ,.ast lbnk of
the Canal, opposite \\Whiteluuse, threatened
to break back into the diversion, and it was
decided to relocate the latter abuut IUl iet
more to the east. This work. which as ..im-
pleted during the months of July and Au,uu-t
of this year, required theconstrjuction ol about
500 feet of trestle, and the excavation ol
13,000 cubic yards of material.
A steamshovel is now enga._ed in making a
detour in the diversion about one-fifth of
a mile in length, at a point crou.;.ed by the Las
Cascadas plantation road, just north of the-
Empire suspension bridge. The new channel
involves the changing of the wag,.in road.
which formerly was at right anghl-. ith the
bank of the Canal, and then ran parallel to
it to the bridge T he new route will be in a
direct line to the bridge Irom where th detour
work is in progress.
The break in the diversion, north of Em-
pire, on August 20, which flooded the Cut
and involved a slide of considerable propor-
tions, is being repaired as rapidly a.- possible,
and it is expected that the stream will be
flowing in it. new channel on Thursday,
September 5. The heavy showers over the
drainage area of the diter.ion last week car-
ried the water into the Cut. north of the
temporary dike at the li.ior ol the break.
faster than the pumps at Ganmb'a could lift
it into the Chagres, with the result that the
bottom of the Cianal wa- flooded to the
depth of two or three flet all the wa, from the
slide to the Gamboa dike. The tater was
again under control on Saturday, August
31.

Reorganlzaiion of Canal Zone Police.
Effective September I, the organization of
the Division of Police and Prisons has been
changed to conform with a relintricting. ol the
Canal Zone territory, made on account of the
depopulation of part of the Gatun Lake area
and the extension of Canal and fortiflication
operations at different points. The Gorgona
police district is abolished, the greater part of
its territory being merged into the Empire
district, while the Bohiosubdistrict isabsorbed
in the Gatun subdistrict, a part of Cristobal
district. The present diLtricts are those of
Ancon, Empire, and Cristobal.
The boundaries of the Anion district are
coincident with those of the present adminis-
trative district of Ancon. The subdistrict
of Miraflores is abolished, being consolidated
with that of Pedro Miguel. A new stubdis-
triLt is designated tol include Naiis. Flamenco,
Culebra, and Perico Islands, which hate been
policed for some time without distinct dis-
trict designation. Ancon di-trict is now
divided into the subdistricts of Naos Island,
Balboa, Las Sabanas, Corozal, and Pedro
Miguel.
The boundaries of the Empire police district
are coincident with the present boundaries of
the administrative districts of Empire and

Gorguna, the district court at Gorgona being
c-ntinued for the present. The subdi-itricts
of San Pablo and Tabcrnilla are abolished,
and their dep'pluhated territory is merged

CULEBRA CUT SLIDES.

Excavation on this Account During the Past
Fiscal Year Larger Than Ever Before.
There was removed from slides and breaks
in the Culebra Cut section of the Central
Division during the twelve months ending
June 30, 1912. a total of 5,915,000 cubic yards
of material, which is the greatest amount
taken out on this account in any one year
since the beginning of operations. A state-
ment showing the total excavation, the
amount removed from slides and break., and
the percentage involved in the slide- and
breaks, is given below. There is also pre-
sented a graphical illustration showing the
total estimated excavation on account of
slides, as compared with the original total
of excavation in the Canal prism in the
Culebra Cut section; also, the estimate of
total excavation remaining on July I, 1912,
showing the amount of excavation remaining
on that date due to slides:

The first large slide to occur in the banks

of the Canal in the Culebra Cut section was
that at Cucaracha, known as the Cucaracha
slide, which developed in July, 1905. and from
which nearly 3,000,000 cubic yards o( ma-
terial have been excavated to date. During
the twelvemonth period ending June 30.
1912, only 170,000 cubic yards of material
were removed from this slide, which, at pres-
ent, gives no evidence of any future consider-
able movement. It covers an area of 47 1
acres.
The most extensive slide, or rather break.
is that on the west bank of the Canal at Cu-
lebra, which extends practically continuously
from Station 1726 to Station 1804, covers arn
area of 63 acres, and has now broken back to
a point where the site of the Culebra club-
house is involved. From this area, a total
of 6,765,500 cubic yards of material had
been removed up to June 30, 1912 and it is
estimated that 1,300,000 cubic ardt= re-
mained to be excavated on that date. A
total of 2,710,000 cubic yards was taken out
from the area involved in this slide during
the twelvemonth ending June 30, 1912 It
first developed in January, 1017.
The slide next largest in extent i- situated
on the east bank of Culebra Cut direc-tly op-
posite the one on the west bank, i. practically,
continuous from Station 1741 to Station
1796, and covers an area of 50 7 acres. A
total of 4.290,000 cubic sards of material had
been removed from this slide up to June 30,
1912, and approximate-ly 600.000 cubic yards
remained to be removed on that date It
first developed in January. 1907.
The three slides above described are the
only ones which hae so far developed in
which the total amount of material involved
exceeded 1.000.000 cubic yards. A statement
showing the slides in the Central Dioision,
which had developed up to June 30. 1912, all
of which are confined to the Culebra Cut sec-
tion, follows-

Since June 30, 1912, two or three other
slides have developed, the most important
being the break in the east bank of the (-tit
about one-half mile north of Empire, which
occurred on August 20, and allowed the uater
in the Obispo Diersion to flow into the Cut.
and another break in the west bankat Cule.
bra.
The work of decreasing the pressure where
breaks and slides might be expected. by exta-
vation with steamshovels, has continued un-
interruptedly since January. 1911. Three
shovels have been kept continuously at work
terracing the west bank at Culebra, and the
same number were occupied during the Fatter

part of 1911 on the opposite bank. The ex-
cavation has been made in each locality in a
-.eries of nine terraces I n addition, one shovel
has been engaged in similar Aork at the
Whitehouse yard. and another on the east
bank, a little south of the Empire 'uspension
bridge The maximum depth of material re-
m,-\ed at one sput in the s(tst bank at Cu-
lebra was 0l feet, measured verticall. and
on the east bank 70 feet in one plai.e.

appointed, composed of the president and the
two secretaries. Any woman wishirin t. be-
come a general member, who is cndnr:oeil by
clubwomen, should communicated aith the
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Thomas E.
Brown, Jr. of Cristobal." Thi-, clai-s of mem-
bers will act on committees, cpLc-ia1ll'. on
civic and local concerns, by which meranr
they will become members of the executive
board and have voice in all matter- v. hich
may come before that bod,. The pro-
vision for this general membership was con-
sidered advisable by the constant changes
in the personnel of the varic-. dlubs, and
also by the removal of man,, clubwomen
from the Isthmus, which, ir. sc .ral cases
caused the disbandment of urgani.atiins. .
In order that the federation uork be carried
out according to its original pl.,an, it was
necessary to maintain its membership, and
by this means the board hopLs it ma., be
done.
A circular has been issued among the or-
ganizations of women in the Canal Zine in
the interest of the $500,000 lunld l.:.r the
"Woman's Titanic Memorial" to be erected
in the city of Washington by the women of
America, in memory of the men "ho lustm
their lives, in the sinking of the Tta.iric, in
order that the women and children should ha' e

first place. The object of sending this com-
munication to the president, or secretary, ol
each organization was to bring the matter
before the women in the Canal Zone. It isnot
to be regurdeil as an appeal to any organiza-
tion,. but it was thiij.ht by the local commit-
tee that a larger number of Canal Zone women
might be reached by this means than if a
gcenr:r,il announcement was made. The plan
is that eich woman -ub-cribe one dollar to the
fund. A c.-.mmitte' has been formed, com-
p.,sed o1 women of St. Luke's Altar Guild, for
the purpu-e (of Lt ntralizing the local effort.

is, as follows. The staff ol clergy in the mis-
sion companies four white priests, including the
general missionary, and two West Indians,
one of these having been advanced to the
priesthood in Januar) at the time uol the an-
nual vi--itat.in of the bishop in charge. In
addition to these, thLre is a staff of nine cate-
chists for the \\est Indian mri sons at Gor-
gona, Ba- Obispo, Mount Hope, Las Casca-
das. Parai-o, Panama, and Darien. The value
of churLh property has been increased b-, the
transfer uf the stone Structure of Christ
Church, en Colon beach, from the Panama
Railroad Compan, to the mission, valued at
$`.3,000, and the construction of a mission
church at Pedro Miguel. The total valuation
of church properties is $69,10. The total

ed to $4,293.34. The number of commu-
nicants wa-- 1,343 There were 961 baptisms

nimed soc,,iet,, contributed $50 to, ard thie
building fund of St. Michael s mi-ilon at
Pc.lro NI yuel. as its Eatrer ofHering.
Owing ii the progress of the work on the
Canal it was found necessary to suspend the
work of the church fur Ameri.ans at Culebra:
tu abandon the missions at San Pablu and
Tabernilla. and to establish the mission before
referred it. at Pedro Miguel. The mission
authorities are looking toward the abandon-
ment of the missions at GLrgona, Empire.
Culebra. lha Olbi;po, and Las Cascadas by
1913, and the estabhlihing of a mission in
the thickly populated surburbs of Panama.
Recomncndations for a reorganization, at the
isitatin of the bishop in 1913, to meet the
demands ol the permanent Canal force are
al,.. comrained in the report.
At the melting of the Vuoman's Altar Guild
otl t. Luke's Hospital Chapel, held at the

will begin with the corporate communion of

the guild, in thechapel, the time of which serv-
ice will be announced later, and the annual

Canal Work in Auguat.
The grand total of Canal excavation to
September 1 was 178,344,405 cubic yards,
leaving tobeexcavated 33,882,595 cubic yards,
or a little over one-fifth of the entire amount
necessary for the completed Canal. The total
excavation for the month of August was
2,443,353 cubic yards, as compared with
2,706,223 cubic yards in August. 1911.
The dry excavation amounted to 1,356,625
cubic yards, and was principally by steam-
shovels. The dredges removed 955,617 cubic
yards from the Canal prism, and 131,111 cubic
yards from the site of the Balboa terminals,
inadditionto the amount pumped into Gatun
Dam by suction dredges. The progress on

the locks at Gatun. Pedro Milguel and lMira-
flores is referred to elsewhere in this i'sue.
In the Atlantic Division. the total excava-
tion was 515,947 cubic bards. Of ths total.
1,974 cubic yards, consisted of dry esxavatiron
near the Locks. and the remainder was wet
excavation-429,415 cubic yards from the
Atlantic entrance, and 84,558 cubic yards
between the Locks and the sea.
The total excavation in the Central Divi-
sion was 1,094.132 ,-ubic yard-, 1,067,300
cubic yards from the Culebra Cut section.
and 26,832 cubic yards from the Obispo
Diversion
In the Pacific Division. the total ex-avation
was 833,274 cubic yard-. 260,519 cubic yards
of which, consisted of drN excavation, 183,570
cubic yards Irom the Canal pri-.m, 64,903
cubic yards from the terminal -ite. and the
remainder near the locks. O1 the 572.755
cubic yards of wet excavation. 441,614 cubic
yards were from the channel, while the re-
mainderwas in connection with the terminal
work.

of the Catibali reservoir. If one of the cham-
bers in any of the Canal lock- was filled with
water to the depth of 50 feet, it 1 would contain
approximately 5,500,000 cubic feet, which is
about one-one hundred and fiftieth part of the
average daily increase in the amount of water
in Gatun Lake during the week ending Sep-
tember 9. When the surface of the lake is 50
feet above sealevel,the lake will contain 58 65
billion cubic feet of water; when the surface
isat elevation plus 87, the proposed maximum
level during the operation of the Canal, the
quantity of water in the lake will be about

Colon Breakwater.
On September 1, the trestle on the Colon
breakwater had been extended a distance of
11.267 feet from the mainland, leaving about
235 feet to complete its entire length. A
double track trestle extends from shore for a
distance of 10,895 feet, and from that point
there will be a single track trestle to the outer
end of the breakwater. At the end of
August, 819,930 cubic yards of rock. excavated
from the Toro Point quarry had been dumped
from the trestle; 1,200,000 cubic yards of
rock, excavated from the Canal prism by
dredges, had been dumped from scows on
and near the breakwater, and 83,143 cubic
yards of armor rock from the Porto Bello
quarry had been placed. The quarry at
Toro Point was shut down in June, and the
only material now placed in the breakwater,
with the exception of the armor rock from
Porto Bello, is that excavated from the Canal
prism at Mindi, and dumped on the site from
barges. The embankment is built up with
this material to within 15 feet of the water
surface, and the piles for the trestle are then
driven through this fill. The embankment
is then gradually built up to five feet above
sealevel hb dumping Porto Bello rock of less
than eight tons weight. This class of rock
is transported by barges to thedockatToro
Point. and there transferred to Lidgerwood
cars by locomotive crane. It is then carried
out on the breakwater and dumped. All
rock, in pieces ranging from eight to 20 tons
in weight, is brought directly to the break-
water and placed by derrick barge. The
latter is unable to handle the smaller sized
rock to ad antage. and the above method is,
therefore, employed.
The equipment at Porto Bello for excava-

ring and handling the armor rock has rcecntlh
been augmented, and it is expected that the
present shipment of two barge loads daily w ill
shortly be increased to three, and possibly to
four. Three Model 91 Marion teramshovels.
one 70-ton Bucyrus ;hovel. 32 Lidgernood
cars, six locomotives, and four locomotive
cranes are now engaged in this service. The
narrow-gage equipment. lormerlh in use at
Porto Bello in connection with the crushed
rock service, consisting of 70 cars and 10

locomotives, is being shipped to Mount Hope.
An air compressor, and other miscellaneous
equipment. has also been transferred. The
shipping bins for crushed rock have been
dismantled, with the exception of one end,
%shich supports the coal bin. and the space
has been utilized for a dock for big rock.
Lack of piling has retarded the extension
of the breakwater trestle for several months,
but it is probable that the outer end will
be reached before the first of the year.

CONCRETE WORK IN THE LOCKS.

Over 92 per cent of the concrete for the locks is in place, the amount at the close of work
on September 7 being 3,973,310 cubic yards, out of a total of approximately 4,302.563. A total
of 11.594 cubic yards of concrete was laid in the locks during the week ending September 7.
GATUN LOCKS.
About 95 percent of the concrete for the system of three twin locks at Gatun has been laid,
the amount in place at theclo-e of work on September 7 being 1.896,576cubic yards. out ofa
total of 2,000,000. A statement of the amount of concrete placed in the locks each working

bra district, which excavated 49,157 cubic
yards of rock.
The second best record for the month was
made by shovel No. 212, working 27 da)s in
the Culebra district, which excavated 44,713
cubic yards of rock.
The best record for a shovel of the 70-ton
class was made by shovel No. 109. \torkirg 27
days in the Culebra district, which excavated
41,793 cubic yards of earth.

THE CANAL RECORD

THREE YEARS OF LOCK WORK.

Review of Concrete Construction at CGarun, Pedro
Miguel, and Mirallores.
Placement of concrete for the Gatun Locks
was begun on August 24, 1909, and on August
24, 1912. 91.95 per cent of the 2,055,000 cubic
yards required in their construction had been
laid. The amount in place at the close of that
day was 1,889,673 cubic yards, leaving to be
placed approximately 165,000 cubic yards.
An average of 1,075 cubic yards per work-
ing day was laid during the year ending
August 24, 1912. During the )ear ending
August 24, 1911, the daily average was 2,911
cubic yards. The decrease is due to the com-
pletion of the heavy masonry.
Concrete for the upper and intermediate
locks, exclusive of the south approach wall,
was practically completed by September 1,
1911, and about 38.62 per cent of the con-
crete for the lower level was in place at that
time. During the past year, the mass work for
the lower level, exclusive of the north ap-
proach walls, has been completed, leaving
about 153,000 cubic yards of concrete yet
to be placed. At the upper end of the Locks,
piers and arches for the wing walls were com-
pleted, and the cellular approach wall. for
which the first concrete was laid on Septem-
ber 30, 1911, is within three per cent of com-
pletion.
As the heavy masonry was brought to.
completion, mixer production was decreased.
Early in September. 1911, the construction
plant, with eight two-cubic yard mixers, began
to reduce production by using fewer of the
cubes continuously, though the number in use
on any day was affected by immediate con-
ditions. From August 24 to December 31,
1911, the average number of mixers used was
5.3: from January I to June 1, 1912, the aver-
age was 3.43. From May 9 to August 2. only
two mixers were in use. Since August 2, work
on the upper approach wall, which had been
suspended for three months to allow the
part of the wall already erected to settle,
has been hastened, and two and three mixers
have been in daily use. The average number
for the year, August 24, 1911 to August 24,
1912. was 4.05.
The auxiliary mixing plant, equipped with
two two-cubic yard mixers, used both of them
continuously until February 6, 1912, from
which date to the time the plant was closed
down, on March 11, 1912, it had a daily
average of 1.21 mixers, not counting five days
on which the plant was closed. Note of the
closing and removal of this plant, with a re-
sum- of its operations, was made in THE
CANAL RrcoRD of March 27, 1912.
The placement of concrete from month to
month, since the beginning of the work is
shown in the following table:

sand from Nombre de Dios was discontinued
on November 17, 1911. On December 29,
1911, shipments of Cham6 sand began from
the Pacific Division, and were continued dur-
ing January, February and March. a total of
20.315 cubic yards being received. Arrange-
ments were then made for securing sand from
one of the dredges filling into the Dam from
the old bed of the Chaeres River. north of the
north toe of the Dam, and since May 15, 1912,
40.025 cubic yards have been received from
this source, 1,265 yards in cars, and 38,760
yards in barges, which were unloaded by the
cableways.
The rock crushing plant at Porto Bello was
closed on April 30, 1912.
The steel back, side, and culvert forms were
sold through bids opened on May 8, 1912.
Two of the three duplex cableways, which
had been engaged in placing concrete in the
lower level, were devoted, early in 1912. to
the placing of backfill and of dry fill in the
center wall, and only one of the four sets is
now in use for placing concrete.

proper is nearly completed. In April. 1912.
dumping was begun toextend the east back-
fill of the upper lock to the nearby hill, to
form a dam with its tops at 92 feet above sea-
level. The east dam is within two per cent
of completion.
The principal concrete work yet to be done
for the Locks will be on the lower wing and
approach walls. No concrete has been placed
there, the sites being under water, while
dipper and pipe-line suction dredges are exca-
vating for rock foundation.

crete remaining to be placed is, as follows:

LOCK BUILDING AT PEDRO MIGUEL.
The third year of lock building at Pedro
Miguel ended on September 1, and the period
closed with concrete construction well ad-
vanced. On that date, out of the total amount
to be laid,901,718 cubic ..ards,there remained,
based upon the estimate of November 1, 1911,
a total of 35,335 cubic yards, 25,214 cubic
yards of which are plain concrete, and the re-
mainder, 10,121 cubic yards, reinforced con-
crete. The remaining work is confined to the
northeast and northwest wing walls, the north-
east core wall, the south center guide wall,
and some detail work in connection with the
finishing of the lock. The two features of
Pedro Miguel lock completed, so far as con-
crete placement is concerned, are the floors,
and the southwest wing wall. It is expected

that the greater part of the concrete remain-
ing will be in place by January 1, 1913.
The total concrete placed during the first
year of operations in this lock, namely,
from September I, 1909 to September 1,
1910, was 257,308 cubic yards, place measure-
ment, or an average of over 843 cubic yards
each working day; the amount placed during
the ensuing year was 446.101 cubic .ards,
place measurement, or an average of over
1,462 cubic yards each working day, and the
amount placed in the third year ending Sep-
tember 1, 1912. was 162.974 cubic yards,
place measurement, or over 532 cubic yards
for each working day. As will be noted, the
year of greatest work at this lock was that of
1910-1911. when the permanent handling plant
was in complete operation, and the concrete
placed was largely massive in character.
The amount of concrete laid up to Sep-
tember 1, 1912, and the amount remaining
to be laid as- of that date, divided into plain
and reinforced concrete, in the various parts of
the lock, based upon the estimate of Novem-

various features of lock construction, in the
following amounts: Floors, 415 cubic yards
of plain concrete; east wall. 573 cubic yards
of reinforced concrete: center wall, 20 cubic

MIRAFLORES LOCKS.
The concrete work at Miraflores Locks was
begun in February, 1910, but for the first
seven months the amount placed was small.
The output was from portable mixers, oper-
ated under difficulties, or by hand, and was
used principally in the construction of the
floors and floorculverts. Assoonas the berm
and chamber cranes at Pedro Miguel could
be spared, and upon their transfer to Mira-
flores, the work went forward more rapidly.
The installation of the Miraflores permanent
mixing and handling plant was completed
in October, 1911. but operations with a part
of the plant had been in progress for some
months previous. From the beginning of the
work in February, 1910. up to September 1
of that year. there had been laid in the locks
a total of 11,898 cubic yards, place measure-
ment. During the period, September 1, 1910
to September 1, 1911, there was a decided in-
crease in placement, the total aggregating
353,074 cubic yards, place measurement, or
an average of 1,157 cubic yards each working

crete in these lucks is now in place, and the
output from this time on will show a reduction.
The amount of concrete laid to September
1, 1912. and the amount remaining to be laid
as of that date, divided into plain and rein-
forced concrete, in the various parts of the
locks, ba-cd upon the estimate of November
1. 1911, is shown in the fullouing table:

best for the rapid excavation of such material.
Approuimatels, a million cubic yards have
been excavated at elevation plus 110 feet, and
about the same quantity is yet to be taken
from the 80-foot level. About 150,000 cubic
yards have been taken from the loaer level
to date. The four shovels in the 2-level west
borrow pit supply about 180,000 cubic yards
of fill each month, while the two shovels in
the red clay pit excavate about 90,000 cubic
yards in the same period. One month, a total
of 340,000 cubic yards was taken from both
places. The lesser average production is due
principally to delays in dumping, caused by
wet weather. Thirteen trains of 19-yard
dump cars are in the service. When spoil was
taken from the Central Division, about 220,-
000 cubic yards were received each month.
For this, a charge of ten cents per cubic yard
was made against the Atlantic Division, with
added charges for demurrage and repairs of
cars. Excavation and dumping from the
borrow pits costs from 45 to 49 cents per cubic
yard, including plant and all division
charges.

THE CANAL RECORD

COMMISSARY SALES.
Large I crease in Fiscal ear 1911-1912. Compared
With the Preceding TvelIe Months.
The business of the commissar,' d-part ment
of the Panama Railroad Comrpany during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, aggregated
$6,.702,355 68, an increase of S921,055.27, or
about 16 per cent, over the preceding year
The increase in -rock was mainly represented
by groceries, cold storage supplies, and foot-
wear. A classified statementt of importation',
the figures being lor cost, insurance, and
freight paid, delivered on the Isthmus, follows:

There were heavy increase' in theimporta-
tions of groceries, hardware, dr, goods, bouts
and shoes, cold storage provisions, and tobac-
co, the notable increases being in groceries.
dry goods, and boots and shoes. (In many
articlesof staple grocertie. prices ;sere reduced.
Boots and shoes, and dry goods generally
were sold at lower prices than similar goods
in the United, States. Owing to the large
volume of business, and to the institution of
various economies, it das possible to reduce
the surcharge on most of the standard lines
of shoes, and on a great many articles of wear-
ing apparel. During the latter part of the
fiscal year, there was a phenomenal advance
in the price of all meats, especially beef, the
latter reaching a point during the month of
June, 1912, never before equalled in the
United States. However, with but fes\ ex-
ceptions, the price of beef at thecommissaries
was kept down to the -same figure of the pre-
vious year.
On account of the abandonment uof the old
track of the Panama railroad, between Gatun
and Gorgona, and the completion of nork on
the relocation, the commissaries at Camp
Totten, Tabernilla, and San Pablo, were
closed during the year. while new ones aere
opened at Camp Bierd, Miraflores, and Naos
Island. Nineteen commissaries were in opera-
tion at the close of the fiscal %ear.
The following table gives the importations
of meat and dairy products, in comparison
with the figures for the fiscal year 1910-11.

MANLFACTL RING PLANTS.
Laundry-There was a large increase in the
business of this department during the year,
4.243,614 pieces havint- been handled, as com-
pared with 3,581,92 4 pieces the previous Near.
The revenue amounted to S108.096.83, as
compared with $98,303.29 the preceding year.
The average number of employes served
monthly, was about 7,500.
Bakery-During the ,ear. there were 20,233
barrels of flour used, in comparison with
16,638 the previous ,car. The product con-
sisted of 6,0)14.667 loaves of bread. 651,844
rolls, and 114,134 pounds of cake, as against
5.236.474 lc.a,.es of bread, 557,557 rolls, and
91,581 pounds of cake the previous year. The
value of the product was $260,865.35, an in-
crease for the 5ear of $39,513.?7.
Coffee roaisting plant-During the year,
341,780 pounds of green coffee were roasted,
producing 2S0.909 pounds of roasted coffee.
valued at $64,220.98, an increase over the
previous year of $3,677.12. The high price of
coffee continued during the year, but the
commissary selling price remained unchanged.
Ire plant-Ice to the amount of 37,248 tons
was produced during the year, an increase
of 3,981 tons over 1910-11. The value of the
product was $229.535.98, and the increase in
revenue for the Near, 823 347.18.
Ice cream plant-The business of this plant
increased to such an extent during the year
that it became necessary to replace thedirect-
geared circular motion freezer,, with the more
modern vertical brine freezers, capable of
producing 50 gallons of ice cream each hour.
The new freezers are more sanitary, the opera-
tors not touching the cream at any stage of
the manufacture. The output for 1911-12 was
138,551 gallons, an increase of 28,343 gallons
over the previous fiscal year. The value of
the product was $110,993 68, a gain for the
year of $31,674.88. The demand lot icecream
grows steadily, and to insure the quality,
fresh milk and cream are imported from the
United States, in refrigeration, for its manu-
facture.
Automatic weighing and packing depart-

menat-Goods, in the following amounts were
packed by this department during the year:

The increase in the amniunt of goods packed
over the preceding fiscal year was ;92,b08
pounds, and the cuot of packing was reduced
from $1 90 per ton to $1.10 per ton.
Beef corning-The experiment uf making
corned beef showed satisfactory results, and
the advantages obtained by buying beef in
the carcass, instead uof b the quarter, have
served largely, to keep the prices of fresh beef
down to the present low figures in the face of
a high market. Theoutput in this department
during the year was 263,573 pounds, manu-
factured from 259.724 pounds of fresh beef,
the difference in weight being represented by
the amount of moisture that the beef takes
up in the process of corning. There were also
produced 9,635 pounds of Hamburger steak.
The total value of the product in this plant
was $29,594.24.
Butter printngdepartmient-L)Durir-g the :ear,
333,658 pounds ol butter were printed, valued
at $122,660 26. The operations of the depart-
ment has resulted not only in a saying in the
price of butter, but has presented it for sale
in a much better condition than when
purchased in the United States already
printed.
Industrial laboratory--The activities of this
branch were largely extended during the year,
and included the addition of an industrial
laboratory to the experimental laboratory,
already established. The equipment required
for the new laboratory consisted of four team
kettles, one of 125-gallon, one of 75-gallon,
and two of 40 gallon capacity; one baking
oven, one sterilizer, one bottle washing ma-
chine, and two bottle corking machines. The
value of the product manufactured was $10,-
275.49, some of the principal items being, as
follows: Vanilla extract, $5,115.94; lemon
extract, $1.272 15; coffee extract, $1l3.U0;
denatured alcohol, 52,129; talcum powder,
$258.25: soap. $235 93. v itch hazel, $100 60;
hydrogen peroxide, $150 4; ba) rum, $171.
During the present year, it i. intended to
increase the scope of the laboratory by manu-
facturing tooth powder, toilet preparations of
various kinds, etc.
Electric light, poa.r, and refrigerating
plant-One A. C. D. C. \Vestinghouse motor
generator set was installed during the year,
operated from the power plant at Gatun, and
takes the place of two high speed direct cut-
rent generators, formerly in use. There was
also added one boiler feed water weigher for
weighing boiler feed water, in order to deler-
mine amount of evaporation, as a check
against fuel consumption.
Cold storage p'ant-A new ventilating
system for purify ing the air was installed dur-
ing the year. It is operated by a 24-inch
motor-driven fan, and is so arranged as to be
able to pull in fresh air from the outside, at the
same time pas-ing it over relngerated coils,
which are :prayed nith a calcium brine. The
air is both purified and dried by passing it
through this brine bath.

One bid wan received in answer to the
advertisement recently for the sale of the
Canal Commis.ion buildings at Nombre de
Dios, consisting of a T:pe-5 quarters, sick
camp, and eight smaller houses. The tender
was made by Robert Wilcox of Colon, who
offered $305 for the Ti pe-5 house, sick camp,
and six of the smaller buildings, but, in view
of ,he fact that the upset price had already
been fixed at $1,000 for the lot, his bid was re-
garded as unsatisfactory, and it was rejected

NOTES OF PROGRESS.

Damage In Culebra Cut from Heasy Rains.
High water, pouring from the steep water-
shed of the Comacho valley during a heavy
rain in the evening of September 21, broke
through a dike closing an old drain back of the
Lirio planing mill and flooded a portion of
Culebra Cut, south of Empire. All the tracks
on the bottom of the Cut were covered with
water and mud. The dike was quickly re-
placed by a small force of men, using sod and
clay with scrap iron lying near, and the Cut
was drained by the next evening. The old
drain was part of a diversion running north
from Culebra, which was interes.ected by the
breaking back of a slide during the past drn
season. A new channel :was cut farther e-at,.
subtending the section broken by the slide, and
dikes were built to close the old channel. These
had proved sufficient until the extraordinary
fall of September 21, when 4.2' inches fell
in three hours at Comacho reservoir.
On the east side of the Cut, the repairs to the
Obispo Diversion, at La Pita point, three miles
from the north end of the Cut, at which it was
broken by a slide on August 20, were sufficient
to keep the water from breaking through.
Had it done so, it is estimated that the heavy"
flow would have filled the Cut with thirty
feet of water No water has escaped into
the Cut at that point since September 8.
Affected by the same heavy rain, the slide
on the west bank at Culebra pushed out at
the toe, partly burying two steamshovelsat
its base and closing the pioneer cut for a
distance of 50 feet. The cut was reopened,
the shovels have been dug out, and the work
is progressing as rapidly as possible.
Farm for Disabled Laborers.
A committee, consisting of Maj. R. E.
Noble, chairman; Capt. R. E. Wood, and Mr.
C. A. Mcllvaine, has been appointed to select
a site in the Canal Zone for a farm on which
laborers who have become insane, chronically
ill, or crippled in the service of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, can be cared for and given

employment. The chronically ill and the in-
sane have been heretofore the unremunerative
wards of the Commission. while the crippled
have been engaged for such work as the5 are
able to do. The farm. affording healthful
employment. cill also be as nearly selfsup.
porting a. it is possible to make it.

New Trestle Across Culebra Cut.
Driving piles for the trestle to take the place
of the present bridge. No. 572, of the Panama
railroad, crossing Culebra Cut north of Pedro
Miguel station, was completed on September
21 Building the 700 feet of trestle occupied
19 days. About 1,300 feet of track have been
laid for the approaches to the tre-tle, and as
soon as the track ouer the trestle is laid, traffic
will be sent across it and the rem'rsal of the
present girder bridge \\ill begin, to allow the
completion of the Canal channel at its site.
In the construction of the trestle, provision
cas made, by the installation of several bents
which %%recking rranes can easily lift a-ide.
for allot ing the ladder dredge Cr',oral to pass
through into Culebra Cut, with the-:urface of
the water at approximately 65 feet above sea-
level. The molded breadth of the Corozal
is 45 feet, and its draft, when light, is 12 feet
forward, and 14 feet four inches aft

CYLINDRICAL VALVE SEALS.
Recent Modification of Those L sed on Canal Locks
Lessens Leakage.
A slight modification has recently been
made in the seals of the cylindrical valves in-
stalled in the locks, which has resulted in a
considerable reduction of the leakage found
in early tests of these valves.
The valve, which was described in THE
CANAL RECORD for November 15, 1911, is
shown in Sketch A. It consists essentially of
a hollow c lh under mounted on a vertical stem
and resting, when closed, on a conical seat.
When the valve is opened it rises into a con-
centric case direct tly above. The opening be-
tween the two rings is closed by a pair of
leather seals, shown in Sketch B as A and Al,
mounted, respectively, on the upper side of the
upperflangeC of the valve, and the lower side
of the lower flange D of the case, when the

size. HWhen a flexible seal is used, the gap will
will be closed, even though variations in the
level of the seal exist.
An investigation of the valve equipped in
this manner, however, discloses the fact that
although leather is classed as a flexible materi-
al it still possesses enough stiflne1s, to hold the
valve off its seat when sufficient difference in
the level of the flanges C arid D exist The
stiffness of the leather is apparent when at-
tempting to bend the material at short radius.
In one case the valve was suspended in thi.
manner by the leather seal ifrm IU to 15
thousandths of an inch above the seat and
not touching it at any puicit It is obvious
that the leakage through this opening under
60 feet head would be exces-ive.
In order that the leather seal should allow
the valve to take a proper seat under the con-
,diti.ns described it was proipo,_ed to bevel the

valve is down. The seal consists of a leather
washer made up in sections of leather one-
fourth inch thick and held down by segmen-
tal plates B and BI bolted to the flange.
The leather projects eleven thirty-seconds of
an inch beyond the flange. and. normally .one-
fourth inch of the leather makes contact
with the opposite flange. This distance may
vary by plus or minus three thirty-seconds of
an inch which is the radial clearance of the
valve and case.
.\ flexible seal i- ued at the top of thevalve,
because if a solid contact was used at both
top and bottom it would be practically im-
pos.4ibl- to have both tight at the same time
on account of mechanical irregularities, which
are liLk. to exist in machined parts of this

edge of the segmental plate nearest the free
end of the leather seal. thUa allowing the
leather to bend at an increased radius for a
given irregularity of the flanges This aas
accordingly done on the Sale previously
tested. The plates were remiv.td beveled
at E and El, and again put in place Leakage
tests, made after this modification %'as com-
pleted, showed a leakage under 60 feet head
of .014 cubic feet per second, which is a vast
improvement over the previous te.;t. which
showed leakage in excess of .5 cubic feet per
second. All valves of this type are according-
ly being modified in the manner described.
In order to soften the leather seals as much
as po-sible. the seals are being removed and
treated with a mixture of neatsfoot oil and

paraffine prepared, as follows: Two parts of
neatsfoot oil and one part paraffine are boiled
until the paraffine is absorbed by the oil.
This solution is then cooled and the leather

SPILLWAY CAISSON DAM.

Floating Calison for Spillwsys of Garmn and
M iraflores Lakes.
Enough of the material for the floating
caisson for Gatun Dam Spillway has arrived
on the Isthmus from the United States to
allow the contractors for its fabrication and
erection, the McClintic-NMarshall Construc-
tion Company, to begin the erection within a
short time. Inasmuch as the caisson uill not
be required until after the coming dry season,

The pressure of backwater having been re-
lieved, the caisson will-be pumped out and
floated away.
In outward appearance the caisson will be
a simple rectangular box. The framework,
consisting of vertical and horizontal girders,
supporting a system of intercostals to form
the skeleton, will be covered on both ,ides
with steel sheathing plate-, t.o a- to form a
watertight box into which will be put a suf-
ficient amount of concrete ballast to cau- e It

it will be erected at an elevation between 55
and 60 feet above sealevel,on the lake .ide of
the east wing of the Dam, there being ample
time to complete the caisson before the rise of
the lake surface above elevation plus 50 feet;
while shortly after the Spillway gates have
been closed, further to rai,.e the lake, the cais-
son can be floated off and held ready for serv-
ice.
The caisson is to be used as a temporary
dam for the passaces between piers of the
Spillway dam, when it is desired to repair the
Stoney, gatesby which the passages will ordi-
narily be controlled to regulate thesurface of
the lake. When a gate is tobe repaired, the
caisson will be t' wed from its moorings at the
side of the Spillwhvay, and swung into place
between the p;rrs supporting that gate.
Water will be let into the caisson through in-
takes below the ater line until it sinks into
position on top of the ogee and against the
vertical seats provided on either side. The
downstream side of the caisson will then be
six feet six and three-f urths inches from
the face of the gate. After the placing of
the caisson, the gate will be raised slightly
to unwater the space between it and the
caisson. This will cause a heavy pressure
from the lake on the caisson, forcing it more
tightly in place, and will afford room for work-
men to operate on the upstream side of the
gate.
When it is desired to remove the caisson the
gate will be lowered and the space between it
and the caisson will be filled with water, to the
level of the lake, through a pipe passing
* through the caisson and controlled by a valve.

NOTES OF PROGRESS.
Pipeline Along Naos Island Breakwater.
The outer end of Naos Island breakwater
is within 500 feet of the island, and the Divi-
sion of Fortifications has begun the laying of
a 4-inch pipeline to supply water for the
work of construction on the adjacent islands
of Perico and Flamenco. Clapets have been
used heretofore, hauling water from Balboa.
.The pipeline will connect with the Ancon-
Balboa main near the bridge across the estu-
ary between the East Balboa hotel and the
commissary, and will extend across com-
pleted dumps at Balboa and along the break-
water track. It will be 17.050 feet in length,
and will be capable of delivering at least
100,000 gallons of water per day at Naos
Island.

Protecting Culebra Cut from Flooding.
To protect Culebra Cut from inundation
by the Chagres River, in consequence of the
rise of Gatun Lake, the dike at Gamboa is
being raised and strengthened. Earth and
rock will also be dumped at a point about
a thousand feet south, where the Camacho
Diversion, passing under the Panama rail-
road, strikes at right angles a barrier sepa-
rating it from the Canal channel. Both dikes
will be carried to 78.2 feet above sealevel,
and the one across the Canal will be widened
approximately 40 feet. The tops of the dikes
before the beginning of these operations were
73 feet above sealevel.
------- --- _
Rebuilding of Dredge "No. 85."
The hull of pipeline suction dredge No. 85
was successfully launched from the shipways
at Balboa on Monday afternoon. September
30. This dredge, which was formerly en-
gaged in the hydraulic fill at Gatun Dam,
was dismantled about two months ago and
shipped to Balboa in sections The work of
putting the hull together has takers about
six weeks, and it is expected that within
another month, its upper works will have
- been replaced, when the dredge will again

be ready for service It will be put to %ork
excavating for the new inner harbor at Bal-
boa, the material from which will be used in
filling in the low area on the west side of the
Panama railroad, between Corozal hill, and
the Balboa wye.

Dock Changes at Balboa.
The remainder of the Panama railroad
lumber dock at Balboa, a part of which col-
lap.ed on August 17. is being removed. Ad-
ditional cracks developed at the north end
of the wharf early last month, making it
unsafe for further use, and the two cranes
stationed thereon were at once dismantled
and removed from the zone of danger Most
of the lumber in the old wharf is being utilized
in the con-truction of a shed over the cement
dock, which is now used regularly by Pacific
coast steamers, in taking on and discharging
cargo. The cement dock is 656 feet long, and
will be covered for practically its entire
length. The substructure of this dock re-
cently moved slightly channelward in one or
two places, due to the pressure against it of
the adjoining landfill. Further movement has
been stayed b\ installing anchor rods fastened
to the caissons by ateel clamps, the outer ends
being embedded in solid concrete bases.

Buildings Along Zone Boundary Road.
Affecting the erection of buildings along
the Panama side of the Ancon-Balboa road,
between its juncture with the Panama-Balboa
road, and the Ancon post-office, the municipal
council of Panama has ordained that such
buildings shall not extend beyond the align-
ment marked out by the buildings of the
National Institute. and the sidessalks shall
have the same width as thu-se of the National
Institute on that road. This provides that
the sidewalks shall be at least eight feet wide.

Transfer of Compressors to Balboa.
In the transfer of the two air compri. sors
in the plant at Las Cascadas. and the builers
from which they are -.,spplied with steam,
to the Balboa power plant, referred to in THE
CANAL RECOkD of August 2S, 1012. one com-
pressor and one boiler will be installed at thr
Balboa plant within a week, and the other
compressor, with tiwo more boilers. is to be
transferred b\ the first of January Each
compressor is capable of compressing 2.500
cubic feet a minute from atmosphere to a
pressure of 100 pounds to the sqoate inch.
and is driven by a double-cylinder simple
engine of 250-horsepower.
The plant can be spared from Las Cascadas
on account of the advance of excavation in
Culebra Cut. The air mains, which extend
the length of the Cut, will thenbe supplied by
the plants at Empire and Rio Grande. The
Balboa. pl4nt has been using two compressors
heretofore, supplying the Ancon quarry
through an 8-irlph rnqin, and the Balboa

shops through a 6 -inch main, crossing the *
saddle between S,.,-a Hich and Sosa Loa.
The new compressor %,ill be used principally
for drills in the excavation for the permanent
terminals, which will be -upplied through
6-inch mains, skirting both sides of the Sosa
hills. They will be installed in the present
boiler room of the Balboa plant, requiring
no extension of the building, except a small

Erection of Hydroelectric Plant at Gatun.
Operations have begun for the erection of
the permanent hydroelectric station at the
Spillway of Gatun Dam. Excavation for
the turbine pit-, close by the Spillway dis-
..harge channel, on the east side, has been
carried to 5.25 feet below sealevcl, over an
.irea of 100 by 30 feet. The sheer steel
penstocks are being a4;embled on the north
toe of Gatun Dam, near the Spillway The
penstocks, o1 -which here will be three. with
provi-iont for the installation of three more.
ih desired, will -a31h be 10 leet ix.\ inches in
diameter. ol I-inch steel. banded at interals of
eight feet nith 3-inch b% g-inch Z-bar'. all set
in concrete. The center of intakes will be at
elevation plus 68.25. and their dischai ce- into
the turbines at elevation plus 27. \\hi n Gatun
Lake is at its normal level of 85 lhit above
-ealevel the effective he.ad on tih.- turbines
will be 77 feet
Specification.. for 3505 iuns if structural
steel for the buildinois of the plait have been
sent to the General Purchasing Officer for
advertisement. The specifications provide
for the erection of the steel, either by the
contractor, or by the Isthmian Canal Com-
mission. It i expected that the laying of
concrete lfr the foundations of the building
and turbines will be begun abouz the middle of
II-h tober.

Progress in Erection of Lock Gates.
Following the completion of erection and
sheathing fir the gates in the upper level of
Gatun Locks, the erection bridge, which was
employed on that level, is being moved to the
middle level. No gate erection has been done
in the middle lock, the bridge which is being
moved to it having so far been used only for
the upper lock, and the second bridge, which
was set up across the lower lock in April, 1912,
has been used only on that le'el. The west
span of theupper level bridge has been moved,
and the east span is to follow during this week.
It hasbeen found anneces'ary todismantle the
bridge, the ends of the spans being set on
trucks and rolled down the inclines of the
walls.
The upper guard gates at Gatun Locks are
being equipped with footwalks and handrails
across the tops, and will shortly be ready for
these ol thepublic in crossing thechambers.
At NMraflores Locks. the skeletons of the
upper guard gates have been brought to full
height, with the exception of the top girders.

been taken out from slides, and abuut 45 per
cent of the excavation remaining to be done

to 41 or 42. It i, planned to have the dry
excavation finished by July 1, 1913. Shortly
after that. water will be let into the Cut
through the dike at Gamboa, and the ladder
dredge Cor,:isal is to be brought into the Cut
from the Pacific entrance, tu work at the
foot of any slides which continue to devel-
op, in addition to remioing the dike and
cleaning out about 150,000 cubic yards of
silting in the completed channel between
Gambua and Mlamei.
The slides call for no -ther treatment than
unremitting cx:cavation. The plan for ex-
cavatfng at the tip. huoever, has reduced
the -ize of the -Ides and restricted their
menace. Following heavy rainson September
21, 1912. the slides at Culebra, shown in

Gates to Full Height at Pedro Nliguel Lock
All of the gates at Pedro Miguel Lock have
been brought to their full height. andl the
sheathing is in place on all of them with
the exception of the lower guard gate- The
last of the two gate erection bridges ha; been
dismantled and transferred to Nliraflores.
The west flare and cut-off walls at the upper
end of the lock have been brought to a bei_.ht
of 40 feet. The east flare wall foundations
have been laid, and the site of the cut-off
wall is being excavated to rock at elevation
about plus 35 feet. The water from the
drainage channel in Culebra Cut passes
through the center wall culvert, and out
the south end. The heavy rain .4 Thursday.
September 26, raised the water in the drain.
age channel to such an extent that the lower
chambers of the lock became flooded. To
prevent a repetition of the occurrence a small
dike is being built on the west side of the
lower chamber.

THE CANAL RECORD

BALBOA SHOPS PLANT.

Preliminaries of Permanent Works at Pacific
Entrance Outlined.
The committee. consisting of Lieut.-Col.
T. C. Dickson, Capt. R. E. Wood, Lieut.
Frederick Mears, Mr. W. G. Comber, and
Mr. H. D. Hinman, appointed to prepare a
general scheme showing the relative order in
which work on shops, and other buildings;
drydock, wharves and piers of the permanent
facilities at Balboa, should be prosecuted, to
reduce to a minimum interference of this
work with the maintenance of the dredging
and towing fleets of the Pacific Division, and,
in addition, to make recommendations con-
cerning the track layout, and for the removal
of certain buildings from the terminal area,
has made its report, which has been ap-
proved by the Chairman and Chief Engineer.
The committee recommends;
1. That double tracks should be laid from
the southwest end of the new railroad yard
to the Panama railroad steel pier, and as
much of these two tracks as will enable them
to be completed by December 1, 1912, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, should be laid
on the permanent location. These tracks
should be well ballasted, as they will be used
lor passenger and labor trains, as well as lor
freight service. The Panama railroad should
abandon the use of the two old freight yards
as soon as these double tracks are completed.
2. That a temporary track should bc laid
to connect the double tracks with the present
coal pockets, which should be used as long as
possible. When necessary to abandon the
coal pockets, arrangements should be made,
either to use the coal and rock aprons of the
fortification work at Dike Siding, near Station
2145, or temporary pockets should be pro-
vided on the'old lumber dock.
3. That a single track should be laid from
the northeast end of the new lumber dock to
the new railroad yards. This track should
be laid north of the shop buildings and round-
house, so it will not interfere with the con-
struction of the new wharf and shop build-
ings. This track should be laid before Jan-
uary 1, 1913. If thesanddockistobeoperated
after this track is completed, the spur from
near the office of the resident engineer to the
new lumber dock should be connected to the
above track. This spur should be built, so as
not to interfere with the erection of the crane
runway extensions and shop buildings.
4. That all large spare parts for dredges,
etc., belonging to the Quartermaster's De-
partment should be moved to dump No. I
before January 1, 1913. The necessary tem-
porary tracks should be provided,so that these
parts can be reached with a locomotive crane.
5. That all unserviceable parts, and all
other equipment within the terminal area
should be moved at once.
6. That the post-office, Panama railroad
storehouse, sanitary inspector's office, police
station, Quartermaster Department's lumber
office, and all other buildings within the area
of the terminal facilities, except the office
of the resident engineer, the quartermaster's
storehouse, shipways, machine shop and
blacksmith shop, transformer house, and new
terminal office, and the temporary terminal
supply house, should be removed by No-
veimber 1, 1912.
7. All of the machine and erecting shops,
and the forge shop, cannot be erected until
the sand wharf is removed. The committee

recommends that as soon as the award for
structural steel is made, that definite plans
be prepared, including the establishment lt
one or more sand storage piles for the future
operation of the Balboa sand plant, in such
manner as will enable it to be abandoned
early enough to prevent delaying the con-
tractur in completing these buildings.
S. That the present repair wharf should
be left intact until sufficient space is avail-
able at 'he new lumber wharf, and the ex-
tension thereof to the nurthea.t for making
repairs to the floating equipment of the
Pacifi,- Divisonr
9 That it appears that the shipwas shops
nill not ha\e- to be abandoned before lJune,
or July. I1l 3, and that the extension ,f the
coffer dam ,ill not interfere with the use of
the shiptays before July, ur August. 1913.
since a considerable portion of the cxcea'ation
for the largedr)dock. can be completed before
the coffer dam aill be required. No means,
ior repairing, bottoms of the floating equip-
ment %ill exzit at the Pacific end, when the
grndiron and shipwa,. s arc abandoned, until
one of the dr',ducks shall have been c-nm-
pleted. During thi- interval, equipment re-
quiring repairs to bottom ulf same an be setnt
through the Canal to the drydock shop. at
Criast,.bal, if the Canal is available, or other
arrangements c-an be made.
10. That the permanent planing mrill build-
ing should be erected and c..-.mpletcd as onun asc
practicable, and there should be temp-..raril,,
installed in it the resident engineer's u r ,e.
the quartermaster's storehouse, and such
shop equipment as is ntcessarn for repairs
to the floating equipment of the Pacific
Division, until the permanent shops are
available for that purpose, After thi-. tran--
fer, the office ol the resident engineer, the
quartermaster's storehouse, and the machine
and blacksmith shops and the shipaays can
be demolished.
11. That the permanent shop buildings
be erected in the following order:
1. Planing mill.
2. Foundry, and pattern storage build-
ing.
3. Machine and erecting shop, forge
shop, boiler shop, gas house, storehouse,
and office.
4. Paint shop, and steel storage shed.
5. Boiler house, car repair shop, and
galvanizing plant.
6. Roundhouse, and lumber shed.
12. That the section of the repair wharf,
northeast of the new lumber dock, and the
commercial pier should be completed as
promptly as practicable to provide a repair
wharf for the floating equipment of the Pacific
Division, and increase the dockage facilities
for commercial vessels.
13. That, little, if any, work can be done
on the section of the repair wharf, -outhuest
of the new lumber dock, until the sand aharf
is abandoned.

Road Improvements.
It has bix'n decid&, to u;c the sample, ol-
road oil, pureha-i-d for trial on the Sabanas
road, ,on the Z',.ne b.:iundary road, beginning
at A\iicon post-o:fic.,. and running to Balboa,
cijntiFjintn unril the -uppl:, i. exhausted.
The -um I $1.51J0 lla- s-t aside for the road
oil experiment, andl abuut half of the amount
wa. cxpiended in the purcha-e of 12U barrels
of uil repre-etnting three different makes.
Before th. oil is applied, however, the bound-
ar'. ri.aid ill be resurlai.ed and rolled, and
this v.ork will probably be done earls in the
dr) sea-on. The municipal engineering force
of the Pa itfic DiisLoJn is now at work im-
provirig the Tumba Mliurta road, which
branches urT from the Sabanas highway, and
it is expected that work on both of these roads

will be completed about January 1. A sec-
tion of the Balboa road, from a point west
of the commissary to the bridge over the
tidal inlet, has recently been resurfaced and
rolled

Boser Under Arrest.
I. A cablegram received on Monday, Oc-
tober ;, advises that Charles W. Boxer, who
is wanted here for the embezzlement of the
funds of a secret society, entrusted in his
keeping, has been arrested at San Francisco,
and will be returned to the Canal Zone for
trial.
Missionary Convention.
The preparations for the missionary con-
vention to be held at Empire on Friday,
October 25, areabout completed. The Ladies'
Aid Society of the Empire Christian League
has arranged an interesting program and
several speakers have promised their serv-
ites. Invitations have been issued to all
the organizations of women engaged in
Christian work, and transportation has been
granted to a limited number of members of
each society. The program will include out-
lines of missionary work of the different
churches and denominations: their methods,
systems, and results. The convention is in
entire a,:cord with the world movement to-
ward Christianity and church unity, and it is
expected that this, the first religious con-
vention of women to be held in the Canal
Zone, will be met with the hearty response
and cooperation of all members of such so-
cieties.

CRISTOBAL DOCKS.
Construction of Sheds and Method of IHandling
Cargo.
Plans for the superstructures for the Atlan-
tic terminal docks at Cristobal are being
prepared, and a general idea of their construc-
tion, as el I as the layout of the docks, is
shown in the sketches accompaninl, this
article. In considering the equipment for the
new docks, the committee in charge, in its
report of April 11, 1912, recommended, that

single pieces, too heavy to be handled by
ships' booms, namely 10 tons, or over. could
be taken tare of by crane boats. I
The design and construction of the docks
have been carried on under the superviionof
Lieur. Frederick Meais, Chief Engineer, Pa-
nama Railruad Companyr, and the preliminary
investigations and dock construction has been
in charge of Mr. Gco. H. Ruggks, dock
engineer.

work on October I nas about, as follows:
Dock No. 16-All the caissons, and a
greater part of the floor beams in place.
Pier No. 17-Most of the cylinders in place,
but no work accomplished on the floor sup-
ports.
Dock No. 15-No work accomplished on
this dock to date.
Dock No. 16 will have a face line 1,073
feet long. The shed to be erected on it,

in view of the uncertainty existing as to the
amount of freight to be handled at the At-
lantic terminal after the completion of the
Canal work, no cargo handling cranes, or
special unloading appliances be installed, with
the exception of unloading masts, designed for

plans for which have been completed, will
be 918 feet long, and will have a width
of80 feet, including the space occupied by
two depressed tracks on the inshore side.
The width of the warehouse proper is 53y feet,

been reserved for an apron track, which will
be used in unloading machinery,. and other
heavy material from ships into cars. The
minimum clearance of the interior of the
shed from the floor to the lower chord of
the transverse truss will be 25 feet. The
front wall will be of reinforced concrete five
inches thick and 30 feet high, with a low
parapet extending throughout its lcn.th.
The rear wall will be 34 feet in height, and,
with the exception of the part that opens on
the loading tracks, will be of similar con-

ported by four piles, and the face line columns
will rest on the intersection of the -steel I-
beams directly over the 4-foot caissons. which.
sunk to bed rock and filled with solid con-
crete, reinforced with steel rail-, four lengths
to each caisson, form the dock foundations.
At the intersection of the caissons with the
floor beams, haunche- are provided, four to
each cai-'un, which are designed to take the
horizontal thrust ofl uhatcver shock or jar
may be caused by a ship striking the dock
with force.

The doors to the building are to be of the
steel Kinnear toiler type. 18 feet high and
20 feet wide, and %sill be placed 34 feet apart

will be ere.:ted to a height of 65 feet above

In all, 1,51il,156 pounds of structural steel
wall be used in the dock superstructure,'which,

struction, although %windows ma) be pro-
vided at regular intervals for better venti-
lation. The end wall, will also be of con-
crete, and openings will be left for cars, teams
and pedestrians. The structure will be en-
tirely fireproof.
The roof is to be constructed of concrete
slabs, two and one-half inches thick, rein-
forced with expanded metal. The slope will
be one in five, and the middle 20 feet will
be occupied by a monitor, or ventilator, pro-
vided with a skylight at the top, and louvres
on the ,ides. Rainwater will be carried off
from the face line side of the dock structure
by means of 5-inch downspouts placed 34
feet apart inside of the building. On the
rear side, the water will be allowed to pass
directly off the roof.
Steel columns will support the main trans-
verse trusses as well as the longitudinal s;de
trusses, which extend the entire length ol the
building. Midway between the main trans-
verse trusses will be similar intermediate
trusses, supported at the ends by the longi-
tudinal side trusses. Two rows of light bra-
cing trusses, situated beneath the two sides
of the monitor, will also extend the entire
length of the shed. Diagonal tie rods will
be used in the plane of the lower chords of the
transverse trusses in every bay. The inshore
columns will rest on a concrete footing, sup-

NOTES OF PROGRESS.
Chairman's Report.
The report of the Chairman of the Isthmian
Canal Commission for the month of Septembter
is published in full in this issue of THE CANAL
RECORD. It gives a detailed account of the
progress of the Canal work in all depart-
ments and divisions.

Hospital Farm for the Disabled and Insane.
The Chairman has approved the report
of the committee, consisting of Maj. R. E.
Noble. Capt. R. E. Wood. and Mr. C. A.
Mcllvaine, appointed to investiRate the mat-
ter of establishing a hospital farm for the
care of permanently disabled employes and of
the insane. The Canal Commission and the Pa-
nama Railroad Company, are now giving em-
ployment to 24 disabled persons on the gold
roll, and 212 on the silver roll. The fol
lowing statements shows the number married
and single, and the classes of work at which
they are employed:

The number of insane at Ancon asylum on
October 22 was 306.
The committee, in its report, favored, as
the best plan of caring for the chronically
ill and crippled employes, and the insane.
the establishment of a larm. where the cul-
tivation of bananas, plantains. yams, and
other native vegetables can be carried on
It is also believed that it would be a good plan

tu combine with this farm, the dairy, poultry,
farm. and pige;ir, nuvr ni.iintained by, Ancon
Hospital. The-e acii'.iie-s would afford va-
ried employment to the prospective inmate-.
ranging from ,ordiriar., I bor for the ph s-icall'.
fitted am.,ng the insane, to light tasks for
the crippled. The committee Lavors Corozal
as the best site for such a farm There are
several hundred acre- of comparatively c-pen
land at that point, and the surve,-' prepared
by the expert from the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. shows that the -oil
in that locality is tood. The present Canal
Commission buildings at Cirozal are ample
tohouse all the disabled and in-ane: moreover,
the town has good railroad service, and, in
addition, there is a v.aon ruad to Panama.
Furthermore, it is probable that a wagon
road will he built %irlhin the ne't % ear, or
two, to Ancon and Balboa.
The committee wlas of the opinion that
the insane a-ylum, now at Ancon, should be
transferred to the netw site, a:- soon a- Canal
construction has advanced to the point then
the employes' qua-.'rrs can be vacated, and
those of the crippled employes who de-ire
it can be transferred at the same time In
case a reduction of force makes it nece-.ary
to care for .-ume of the disalilrd before the
houses at Corozal will be a.valab!e. the com-
mittee suggested that two or three labor
camps be moved to the rire of the farm
ior temporary quarters, and in this way, the
services of the men can be utilized in the pre-
liminary ,ork at the farm.
Admitting that it was difficult at this time
to give more than a bare outline of the schenme
of administration at the proposed faim. the
committee believed. however, there should
be a doctor in charge of the insane, as at
present, he to determine those of the patients
capable of performing labor. It was further
agreed that the superintendent of the farm
should be one with a knowledge of tropical
agriculture, and that he should be employed
from the out-et, in order to plan matter-
properly. The committee favored the fur-
nishing of quarters to the disabled. including
a limited number of married quarters to those
having families, and that the\ should be paid
a wage scale of five. seven, and 10 tents an
hour, dependent on the tasks they are called
upon to perform It was believed, al' o, that
it would be more advantageous to have
Ancon cemetery moied to a site adjoining
the farm.
The Chairman. in approving the report
of the committee, requests the Chief San-
itary Officer to give the matter of mo% ing the
cemetery to the site recommended by the-
committee, together with other details, his
prompt consideration, in order that the
planting of fruit trees may be taken in hand
as soon as possible, and stated that a- -oon
as a competent superintendent is procured
and the farm is planned in a general way. a
considerable number of employee who are

crippled, but uli. are still capable uf per-
Ifrminh_ a *'-rrain amount of labor. -an be
detailed to -tart ithe work
Changes in Fire and Police Departments.
Owing to a curtailment in the allotment of
funds to the Division of Fire Prutection fur
the fiscal ,ear 1912-13. due toa smaller Con-
gres-ional appropriation. a reduction in forte
of seven paid members has been nccessarN.
Undcr the new arrangement, which is non'
in effect, the status of the personnel at the
different stations will be, as follow.
Ancon-Tivoli station-One a-iitant fire
chief, une captain, one lieutenant, and -ix
firemen. increase of rhree firemen.
Ancon-Ho-pital ?tation-Clos(d and posi-
tson_ ol captain and Intuterant ab3hlih-led.

La- Ca-cadia,.-Jne- fireman. No reduction.
Gorgona-One captain, one lieutenant. and
two firemen. Force reduced by one fireman.
Gatun--One captain, one lieutenant, and
three firemen. Force reduced by one fireman.
Cri-tajbal-Office force. rine chief, one clerk,
one lineman, and one messenee-r: Mtation
force, one captain, one lieutenant. one fire
engineer, one motor engineer. one elLctri,.ian,
and II firemen. Force reduced by one fire-
man.
Toro Point-The one paid fireman, former-
ly at this point, has been removed.
Porto Bellor-Theone paid fireman, former-
ly at this point, has been removed.
The total re-lAution in the fire department
personnel is seen, consisting of one captain,
and i.\ firemen. The changes were effected
b., the transfer of men from one station to
another, and the reductions have been ac-
(ompli-hed through the voluntary re-igna-
tions of firemen having enough accumulated
leave, and by transfers to other departments
Reductions have been made at points where
conditions would best permit. Thus, the re-
duction in the force at Culebra was made,
because of the removal of buiildings there
during the past year or two on account of
the slides; and the reduction at Catun was
made. because of the approaching completion
of the %ork west ,.f rhe locks.

In order to facilitate the work in the forebay
district, the dikes for preventing high river
water from entering the locks were removed.
A trestle is being driven for the construction
of a new dike, which will permit excavation
of the Canal by dredges to extend about 3,000
feet further north than the dike which at
present separates the wet and dry excavation
south of Miraflores. The intervening area i~
being drilled and shot to grade in the dry.
The amount of iron placed in the masonry
amounted to 1,436,729 pounds.
Concrete work-The total amount of con-
crete and large stone laid at Miraflores was
46,122 cubic yards, as compared with 75,38ii

NOTES OF PROGRESS.

New Bridge at Monte Lirio In IUse.
The new railroad bridge across the Gatun
River at Monte Lirio was placed in regular
service on October 26. The permanent
bridge is of three spans, using some of the
103-foot girders from the demolished Bar-
bacoas bridge of the old main line, across
the Chagres River near San Pablo, and is
supported on concrete buttresses and piers.
Its center span is to be a bascule. Delivery
of the lifting mechanism has been greatly
delayed by the contractor, but when it
arrives. its installation may be effected nith-
out interference to traffic.

Additional Bachelor Accommodarionsar Carun.
Owing to the increase in the number of
Americans employed by the gate and emer-
gency dam contractors at Gatun, the ac-
commodations for bachelor employes have
been entirely exhausted, and it has been
necessary as a temporary expedient, to
assign four men to a room in several of the
Type-5 houses. This situation will be re-
lieved by theconversion of some labor camps
into bachelor quarters, and by moving fami-
lies occupying nonhousekeeping quarters into
housekeeping quarters. The numberof bach-
elor employes quartered at Gatunon Satur-
day, October 26, was 715, of which 482 were
Canal Commission employes, and 233. men
employed by the contractors.

Public Telegraph Office in Colon Station.
The public telegraph office for Colon and
Cristobal has been moved from the general
office building of the Panama Railroad Com-
pany to the Colon passenger station, in
which it is conveniently located in the first-
class waiting room, next to the entrance
gates. The office was opened on October 22.
and is operated in connection with a bureau
of general information concerning Cristobal
and Colon, the railway and steamship sched-
ules, and accommodations on the Isthmus

for the traveler. The rate for telegraph
messages between any points on the Panama
railroad is tent. -five cent- for 10 words, or
less, and two cents lor each word above 10.
for unrepeated messages; the address and
signature are counted as part r.f the body
of the message. The hours at which the office
is open on week da:,, are from S to
11.25 a. m., and from 1.30 to 6 p. m.: and
on Sunday and holidays, from 9 to 11 a. m..
and from 2 to 4 p m.

Small Slide on Gold Hill.
The recent heavy rains have started a small
slide of material from the south sh,.ulder of
Gold Hill. The mud flowed dowr, into the
Cut and covered some of the con-truction
tracks. The quantit. of material involved
is small, amounting to about 5,000 cubic
yards.

Award on Structural Steel for Permanent Shops.
Award has been made to the United Stat,
Steel Products Company for furnishing and
erecting in place structural steelwork, amount-
ing to approximately 7.000,000 pounds, re-
quired in the construction of the following

of the structural istelwork in place, but,
in the case of the machine, erecting. and tool
shops,. forge shop, steel storage shed. boiler
and ship fitters' shop galvanizing building
and foundry, included erection of the crane
rails. Two separate proposals were called
for. as follows
Bid A-Price for furnishing and erecting
all of the structural steel work in place. in
cluding erection of the crane rails.
Bid B-Price for furnishing a portion of
the structural steelnork, delivered, unloaded
and stored at the building aite by the con
tractor, but erected and field painted b\
the Canal Commission.
The purpose of the two bids was. that
while all of the above work would be awarded
to one contractor, theae.ard to be based upon
the price per pound in Bid A, conditions
might prevent the completion of the foun
nations for the two bass and the crane run
way extension in the machine, erecting, and
tool shops, in time for the contractor to com-

plete the erection of the steelwork for those
sections of the structures, including crane
rails, in which event, the erection would be
performed by the Canal Commirsion, and
payment on material not erected by the con-
tractor, ba'.d on Bid B.
The United States Steel Products Com-
pany was the lowest re-ponsible bidder in
both instances, and its offer was more favor-
able as to time of completion. It, price per
pound for the structural steel under Bid A,
was three and six-tenthls cents, and under
Bid B, two and three-fourths cent-, the total
contract representing a value of about $410,-
000. The company propo-es to begin erection
on May 1. 1913, and to complete the work
on October I of the -ame %ear.
All the material for the buildings mentioned
above is to be furnished and erec:t(d com-
plete by the contractor. with the exception
of metal icre-ns. rotifing an, siding. ma.onry
plates, anchor bolts, antd anchor angles,. which
will be supplied and s.t up b, the Canal Com-
mnii_. .s All r(,f the foundation- \ill be- built

scription ol the permanent lacili: ts at the
Atlantic and Pacific enrranci to the Canal
will be f.-und on another pa.te of thi., issue

The reduction in the number of free patients
has been due to a decrease of cases requiring
recuperation at a sanitarium, in conjunction
with greater strictness on the part of hospital
physicians in interpreting requirements, in
the interest of economy.
A spray pump has been furnished the
sanitarium for treating with larvacide several
spots at which water seeps from the hills
above, and it is hoped practically to eliminate
mosquitoes from the grounds of the in-
stitution. The drainage was effective for the
topography, but breeding has been discovered
in several puddles of adventitious origin.
Among the species of mosquito which the
sanitary inspectors have found at Taboga,
there has never been an anopheles, of
which, several subspecies are the second-
ary hosts in the transmission of malaria.
The stegomyza, or yellow fever mosquito, is
frequent, but there is no record of yellow
fever on the island during the American oc-
cupation. By far the most usual mosquito
at Taboga is the harmless black culex, which
is found along all seacoasts of tropical and
tt mperat. countries.
Copper guards have been placed on the
pillars supporting the sanitarium storehouse
to prevent the passage of insects and rats.
On top of each concrete base, not less
than two feet above ground, was placed a
pan, made of a rectangular sheet of copper,
bent slightly downward in all directions and
turned upat the edges, with the joints sold-
ered. The wooden pillars rest on this. The
pan extending about a foot on all sides forms
a projection over which rats cannot climb,
while crude oil around the edges, prevents
the passage cf insect-. The steps of the
storehouse were set on a separate base, with
a space of several inches between them
and the building. Since the adoption of
these protective devices no rats or crawling
insects have been seen in the storehouse.

PERMANENT PROJECTS.
Description of Future Facilities at Atlantic and
Pacific Enrrances.
The permanent facilities at the Atlantic
and Pacific entrances to the Canal uill include
the following projects-
PIERS.
The piers for commercial use at Balboa will
be built at right angle, to the asi oul the Canal,
with their ends abut 2.650 feet from the cen-
ter line of the Canal thanncl. The- will be
about 1.000 feet long. and 200 feet wide. %ith
300-foot slips between and \uth landings for
ama!l boatsat the head of each slip for the full
width between piers. The construction of one
pier only sill he undertaken at fir.t. The old
French steel whar., about 1 000 feet Inne will
be retained for some time in Ihe future, for
commercial purposes
Two wharves and one pier are thunder con-
struction at Cristobal. behind a mole and
breakwater, built out from shore toward the
Canal channel, and parallclird the boundary
line between Canal Zone and Panamanian
waters. An article on these docks, including
their superstructure- and cargo-handling ap-
pliances, was published in THE CANAL
RECORDof Octnber 16. 1912. Primarily, these
docksare to meet the commercial requirements
of the Panama railroad, but should there be
enough traffic after the Canal is completed to
justify it, four othcr pier,. each about 1.000
feet long. and 209 feet wide. with 300-foot
slips between, will be constructed.
DR \DOC KS.
The main drydock uill be situated at Bal-
boa. and will be capable of accommodating
any vessel that can pass through the Canal
locks. It sill have a usable length of 1.000
feet, a depth over the keel blocks of 35 feet at
mean sealevel, and an entrance width of 110
feet. The entrance will be closed by miter
gates, similar to tho'e used in the locks. The
drydock will have a rock foundation, and its
sides will be lined with concrete. Its equip-
ment will include a 40-ton locomotive crane,
with a travel on both sides.
For vessels of smaller type. an auxiliary
drydock will be built at Balboa. in lieu of the
marine railways originally contemplated. It
will have a usable length of 350 feet, a width
at entrance of 71 feet, and a depth over the
keel blocks of 131 feet at mean sealevel It
will be provided with a floating cai-,on. The
40-ton locomotive crane on the main drydock
will be utilized for this dock also. The work
of providing space for these drydocks, as well
as for the new shops, is now under way. and
requires the excavation of about 300,000cubic
yards of material from the northwest face of
Sosa Hill. The excavated material is used in
filling the site for the shops and terminal yard.
On the Atlantic ,ide, it is proposed to retain
the old French drydock at Mount Hope.
which has a usable length of 300 feet. a width
at entrance of 50 feet, and a depth over tht -ill
of 13 leet at mea., sealevel. It was the opin-
ion of the board in charge of the dock proj-
ects, that the commercial requirements in
sight would not warrant the construction of a
drydock at Cristobal capable of accommoda-
ting large vessels, in view of the building of a
drydock at Balboa. to which any large vessel
on the Atlantic side could be taken and re-
turned, in case it was found necessary to dock
it for repairs.
COALING PLANTS.
The plans contemplate furnishing vessels

with fuel. fre-h water. and supplies ofal! kinds.
The main coaling plant Aill be -itliated on the
north end of the island, oppo-ite dock No. II,
Criatobal. It will be capable of handling and
storing 200.000 tons of coal with a po-.ible
increase of 50 per cent One hundred thou-
.,and tons of the total normal storage is
subaqueous. Tl-e plant will have railroad
conncn;un with the mainland ,-ver a bridge
ol the ba-cule t pe. which uill cro-.s the
French canal at a point about half a mile
southof the Mount Hopedrydock The pre-
liminary work on this plant has been begun
by the Panama railroad.
A -ubidiary coaling plant will be situated
at Balboa at the outer end of the 'outhca-.t
approach nail of the dr dock. having a front-
age of 500 feet thereon adapted for discharg-
ing ve-sels. This plant sill be capable of
handling and storing 100,000 tons of coal,
with a possible increase of 50 per cent. Filty
thousand tons of the total normal storage is
subaqueous.
FUEL OIL SUPPLY.
In addition to coal facilities will be pruvi-.
ded at Cri-.tobaland Balboa for uppl ing ship-
ping. and the Canal works. with fuel oil. In
line with this plan four steel tanks of 40.000i
barrels capacity each, have been contracted
for recently in the United States. A briel
description of these tanks was published in
THE CANAL RCORPD ol October 9 1912
SHOPS.
The main repair shops will be built at Bal-
boa, and are de.-igned to maintain the follow-
ing equipment:
1. Lock. spillway, and poacr plant ma-
chinery. 2. after r and land equipment re-
tained for the maintenance of the Canal.
3 Rolling stock and equipment of the Panama
railroad. 4. Mechanical apparatus connected
%ith the coaling plants. fortifications, cold
storage plant, wviielcss stations, etc. 5. The
making of repairs, etc., required by commer-
cial vessels, and by private individuals
and corporations. b. The making of such
repairs as may be required by %cssels of the
United States Navy.
The approximate floor area of the principal
shop buildings will be, as follows:
