The ParDma Canal R.:.rrd, Balboa Heights, Canal Zone.

Volume X. Balboa Heights, C. Z., August 23, 1916. No. I.

New Form for the Record.
With the beginning of Volume X, the form of The Canal Record
has been changed and the title made the PANAMA CANAL RECORD.
The new form, similar to that prevailing for pamphlets of other
departments of the Government, is believed to combine with various
economies some advantages in handling and filing.
The original form of The Canal Record, which has been adhered to
throughout nine years of Canal work, beginning with the publication
of No. 1 of Volume I on September 4, 1907, was derived in general
from the makeup of a bulletin published by the first French canal
company.
Loss to Canal by Change in Basis of Tolls Charges.
During the first months of Canal operation tolls were levied on the
basis of the net tonnage of ships as determined by specially formulated
rules for measurement for the Panama Canal, in which the net ton-
nage was the space available for carrying cargo, reckoned in tons of
100 cubic feet. Following an interpretation of the Panama Canal
Act by the Attorney General, the amount of tolls collectible has been
governed also by the net tonnage as determined by the rules for
registry in the United States, it having been decided that the tolls
should not exceed $1.25 per net ton on this basis.
One of the results of this system has been a loss in revenue to the
Canal. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, the tolls collected
amounted to $2,395,928.77. If the original Panama Canal rules had
been adhered to the collections would have amounted to $2,786,642.82.
The difference between these is $390,714.05. This is 14.05 per cent
of the hypothetical earnings under the original system, and 16.3 per
cent of the amount actually collected.
Sailings of the "Ancon" and "Cristobal."
The steamship Cristobal of the Panama Railroad Steamship Line will sail from
New York for Cristobal on Monday, August 28, instead of Thursday, August 24,
as previously scheduled.
The Ancon will sail from Cristobal for New York at 11 a. m., August 25.

CANAL WORK IN JULY.
The following is the report of the Acting Governor for the month

BALBOA HEIGHTS, C. Z., August 15, 1916.
The Honorable the Secretary of War,
Washington, D. C.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of operations on the Isthmus
for the month of July, 1916:

PANAMA CANAL RECORD

Collections from tolls amounted to S456.895.95, and deposits were made with the
assistant treasurers of the United States in the amount of S271,105.40 to be applied
on payment of tolls and other charges against vessels using the Canal. The total
net tonnage of vessels making the transit was 488,968.

ing those that made the transit of the Canal. Their nationality was as follows:
United States, 74; British, 82; Italian, 1; Nicaraguan, 1; Spanish, 1; Chilean, 5;
Danish, 3; Dutch. 2; Japanese, 11; Peruvian, 6; Panaman, 1; Swedish, 3; Mexi-
can. 1; Norwegian, 12; and French, 3. Cargo forwarded amounted to 57,930 tons;
received, 70.042 tons; rehandled, 35 000 tons; total, 162,972 tons; coal bunkered
in ships, 24,400 tons; fuel oil handled, 85,335.16 barrels, 63 per cent of which was for
private corporations.
Port of Balboa-At the port of Balboa 163 vessels entered and cleared, including
those that used the Canal. Their nationality was as follows: United States, 26;
British, 78; Danish, 4; Dutch, 2; Japanese, 14; Norwegian, 13; Chilean, 7; Peru-
vian, 9; Swedish, 3; French, 1; Mexican, 2; and Panaman, 4. Cargo forwarded

TERMINAL CONSTRUCTION.
Work was advanced on pier No. 7 at Cristobal, where the stage of completion
of various classes of work is as follows: Steel, 99 per cent; concrete form work, 75
per cent; concrete work, 50 per cent; roof tiling, 47 per cent; and brick paving, 25
per cent.
At Cristobal mole, drilling was continued, and 15S linear feet of trestle were driven
for the extension, making a total of 705 linear feet, or 90 per cent of the estimated
total.
On the approach fill to pier No. 6 and for the track yard of the terminals, 32,850
cubic yards of rock were dumped, making a total of 55,065 cubic yards, or 51 per
cent of the estimated amount required.
At the East Breakwater 2,786 concrete blocks, a total of 30,623.9 cubic yards, were
placed. Thirty-nine thousand and thirty-nine cubic yards of earth and rock dredged
at the coaling station were dumped upon the harbor slope of the breakwater. Trestle
salvaged during the month amounted to 11,126 linear feet.
At Cristobal coaling station tests were continued on the stocking and reclaiming
bridges, and certain modifications and adjustments were found necessary. All
structural parts of the tower and of the bunker conveyor were completed, the me-
chanical equipment of the bunker and the conveyor was 50 per cent completed, and
the electrical equipment was practically completed. The car conveying system was
subjected to practical tests in the distribution of coal mined by the unloaders from
the collier Achilles.
Pacific terminals-Finishing work was carried on at dry dock No. 1, the greater
part of it being in connection with the blocking system and the crane tracks. The
pumping plant was operated in connection with docking dredges for repairs.
Work was continued toward completion of the entrance piers, unloader wharf,
coal pocket, reloader wharf, quay walls, and bulkhead wall.
At Balboa coaling plant work was continued on the unloaders, and "shake-down"
tests were started on July 22. On the reloaders, mechanical installation consisted
chiefly of work on the tower traversing machinery. Electrical and concrete work
and painting were continued.
DREDGING.
Seven dredges at work in Gaillard Cut removed 39,645 cubic yards of earth and
1,034,030 cubic yards of rock from the slides at Culebra. Between Miraflores Locks
and the Pacific 221,332 cubic yards of earth and 1,200 cubic yards of rock were
removed from the Canal prism. Three dredges working in Balboa inner harbor exca-
vated 41,171 cubic yards of earth and 24,9S5 cubic yards of rock. In Miraflores
Lake a suction dredge removed 56,587 cubic yards of earth in original excavation
and 18,863 cubic yards in maintenance. The total dredging for the month was-

PANAMA CANAL RECORD 3

1,637,716 cubic yards. The estimated amount of dredging remaining in construc-
tion or original excavation is 5,616,774 cubic yards.
SHOPS AND FOUNDRY WORK.
The shops at Balboa, Paraiso, and Cristobal. the foundry at Balboa, the round-
house at Cristobal, and miscellaneous plants operated by the Mechanical Division
completed 758 shop orders. The foundry at Balboa turned out 184,700 pounds of
iron castings, 159,582 poundsof steel, and 25,930 pounds of brass. At Balboa shops and
dry dock maintenance work was performed on the dredges Corozal. Paraiso, and No.
86, the tug Galun, and various barges. At Cristobal shops the dredge C ileb a, steam-
ship Nicaragua, tugs Gorgona, Coccli, and Tavernilla, a clapet, and five barges were
dry docked for repairs.
USE OF DRY DOCK.
Inquiries have been received from ship owners who anticipate using the dry dock
at Balboa, and it is believed that a considerable business of this nature will develop
in the near future. Data from various ports in the Western Hemisphere are being
analyzed for use in fixing the rates and conditions for dry docking.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
Building construction was carried on at the new laundry at Ancon, the concrete
coal bunker at Balboa, the second group of wards and the laboratory at Ancon
Hospital, and the various quarters authorized for Canal and railroad employees.
Work was completed on the time ball on Scsa Hill, pattern storage building at Balboa
shops, 15 family quarters for employees, and the office building at Cristobal craling
plant. Work was begun at the school, the Faint storehouse, the restaurant, and the
700-foot steel lumber shed at BalLoa. Construction of various other buildings for
the Canal organization was continued.
Work had been begun on construction of buildings for the Coast Artillery and
mobile Army, but this was discontinued on July 25 upon receipt of a cable message
from the War Department stating that the work had been placed under direction
of the Quartermaster General 6f the Army.

good.
Respectfully,
CHESTER HARDING, Acting Governor.
British Royal rail to ECE rme New York Service.
The Colon agency of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company
states that it is the expectation of the company to resume its service

PANAMA CANAL RECORD

between Colon and New York within a relatively short time. This
service was discontinued after the sailing of the steamship Magda-
lena from Colon for New York on November 25, 1914. Ships sailed
every 14 days.
Harbor Charges.
Effective at once, a charge of 40 cents per bill of lading ton will be
made for right of basin both at Cristobal and Balboa, when cargo is
transferred from ship to ship anchored in the harbor.
(The foregoing has been published as circular No. t97-2, dated August 16, 1016.)
Grounding of the "Ilford."
The steamship Ilford, which grounded on the east side of the Canal
channel just north of Gamboa, shortly after leaving Gaillard Cut on
the way to the Atlantic on August 10, was floated on August 15,
and towed to Cristobal for examination and repairs. The grounding
was due to the steering gear having jammed, and the steering engine
and rudder were overhauled at the Cristobal dry dock shops before
the ship proceeded on her way, which she did on August 21.
The master reported that he had had trouble with the steering
gear after he left Cruz Grande, and that for the three days before
reaching Panama Bay he had used the hand gear. When the Canal
pilot went aboard to take the ship through the Canal he was informed
of this condition, and the steering gear was tested in the bay, working
satisfactorily. No trouble was experienced until the ship had passed
Gamboa, when the gear jammed with the helm in a position 7 to port.
The engines were reversed to full speed astern and an anchor dropped,
but the ship, which was making up to full speed and going between
eight and nine knots, could not be stopped in time to prevent ground-
ing. The forward end was lifted about five feet out of water.
Four tugs from the Dredging Division fleet went immediately to
the assistance of the Ilford and tried to pull her off the bank. This
being unsuccessful, on the next day three lighters were sent alongside
and a gang of 44 laborers engaged in taking off part of the cargo of
iron ore. At the same time a dredge was sent alongside to dig away the
earth beneath the ship, and the lake was allowed to rise nearly half
a foot. This work continued for four days, and on August 15 the
ship was pulled off the bank. At 9 p. m., the tug Mariner took
the ship in tow and proceeded with her to the anchorage at Gatun
Locks. An examination made by a diver showed that no dam-
age had been done to the ship's bottom, sternpost, or rudder by the
grounding.
The Board of Local Inspectors has reported that no fault attaches to
the pilot or the Canal, and that the master and owners of the vessel
are responsible for the grounding and any loss occasioned by it.
The Ilford was bound from Cruz Grande to Philadelphia with a
cargo of 6,570 tons of iron ore and sheep skins. She is a vessel of 2,713
net tons, Panama Canal measurement, and is 360 feet in length by 47
feet beam. At the time of leaving the Cut she was drawing 24 feet 5
inches forward and 25 feet 3 inches aft. After grounding the ship lay
in 19 feet 3 inches of water forward and 23 feet 9 inches aft.

Business at the New Dry Dock at Balboa.
The new 1,000-foot dry dock at Balboa has been placed in active
commercial service during the past week. The first use of the dock
was made on June 27, with the docking of the dredge Corozal, and
since that time other Canal vessels have been docked. The first pri-
vately owned vessel to make use of it was- the 81-ton auxiliary
-schooner Chiriqui, registered in Panama, which entered the dock
on Tuesday, August 22.
On August 25 the steamship Strathearn, bound from Pensacola for
Pisagua, went into the dock to have her bottom cleaned and painted,
the rudder unshipped and fitted with new pins and bushings, and
general repairs made. The Stralhearn is 370 feet in length by 52
feet beam, but as she was in ballast was drawing only 15 feet of water.
She came out on August 28.
The steamship Lautaro, which suffered damage to the hull by
; striking a rock in Cucaracha slide in Gaillard Cut, went into dock in
the afternoon of Tuesday, August 29, after most of her cargo had been
unloaded at Balboa. The Lautaro is 344 feet in length by 44 feet 6
inches beam; she drew 24 feet at the time of her accident and 18
feet when she entered the dry dock. One of the Dredging Division's
1,000-yard barges was docked with the Laularo.
The cruiser Charleston, which has been stationed at the Atlantic
entrance to the Canal, will be docked as soon as the work on the
Laularo has been finished.
The "Lautaro" Strikes Shoal in Passing Slides.
The steamship Lautaro, bound from Norfolk for Iquique with a
P cargo of 5,167 tons of coal, struck a shoal on the east side of the channel
Through the slides at Culebra and sprang a leak in the number one
bilge on the port side. The accident occurred in the afternoon of
SAugust 25. The master immediately took soundings in his bilges and
started his pumps. The vessel made Balboa without difficulty and
was placed in dry dock on August 29. Investigation of the accident
& and damage caused by it is being made by the Board of Local Inspectors
and the agent of the vessel.
Third Tug for Harbor,Towing at Cristobal.
On account of increasing traffic at the Atlantic terminus of the
Canal the tug Bohio has been transferred to the Marine Division from
the Dredging Division service. The Captain of the Port at Cristobal
has now three tugs available for harbor work, the Bohio, Engineer,
and Porto Bello, two of which are available for quick service at any
hour of the day or night.

Requests for Reduced Freight Rate and
Free Entry.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
BALBOA HEIGHTS, C. Z., August 18, If 16.
To all concerned-Considerable difficulty is being
experienced in deciphering signatures appearing on
requests for "reduced freight rate and free entry" sub-
mitted by persons entitled to this privilege.
Illegible signatures cause delay in the prompt de-
livery of shipments, are a source of annoyance and in-
accuracy in connection with the retained record. arnd
often result in the regular tariff rate instead of the re-
duced rate of transportation l.p-ir,_ applied.
Whenever possible, it is re.icti-ie.l th.,t names be
typewritten; if a pen must be used, the name should
be clearly and distinctly written.
It is also noted that numerous requests from the
military stationed on the Isthmus are made out in the
name of some particular unit of the organization I g..
"1st Company, Coast Artillery Corps"), instead of
being signed by the officer in charge of that particular
unit. As the retained copies of these requests are filed
alphabetically, the above-mentioned practice frequienlly
results in inability to locate copies when it lerhlrne
requests are received for information in connection
with the same.

To all concerned-Notations on papers any nearer

difficult to read after the papers have been b.utrnd in
the files. In many cases it is necessary to take the
files apart in order to read _them.
It is therefore requested that all notations on cor-
respondence be made at least an inch and a hall below

In thematter if the cdim of El/na r4 rltvlte, for prop-
erty called "'Masamba." decision of rh Iffpir. avard
No. 120, dockil No. 760, Julu 20. lul6-Wherever
reference is made in this deci-ion to "the treaty" it
is understood to mean the Canal Treaty between the
United States of America and the Republic of Panama,
ratified February 26. 1904.
On May 8, 1913, Elena Arguelles filed with the Joint
Commission a claim for cimpenrsaion in the tum of
19.997 United States curretrv. for the expropriation
by the United States of America of a parcel of land
containing 103 hertares four areas and three square
meters and for certain fruit trees and other cultiva-
Lions and a house of thatch and zinc. located thereon.
After hearing this claim in public te-sion the Joint
Commission disagreed on account of .ting equally
divided in conclusion and on July 10. 191b certified
the claim to the umpire in accordance with Article
XV of the treaty, on the question of liability and value.
With the record transmitted to the umr ire there were
briefs filed by counsel for the Unitej States and the
attorneys for the claimant.
Though this claim is not of great monetary import-
ance, the record of the case is a magnificent show of
keen competition between tie learr.ed lawyers in this
discussion of the rights of the claimant, which requires
the umpire to go into thematter at greater length before
announcing his decision.
According to the testimony on the part of the claim-
ant the Arguelles family occupied a portion of land
known as "Masamba." calling themselves the owner
thereof, from 1810 until 1912 when they were dispos-
sessed by the United States in the expropriation of
S all the lands in the Canal Zone, after 102 years of un-
interrupted possession. It is claimed that the lands
of "Masamba" passed by regular family succession
from grandfather to granddaughter mnow Elena Ar-
guelles44 years of age in 1915) but the claimant has
but scanty written proofs of ownership and no regular
documents of title duly registered in accordance with
the law, which appears to be rather a normal situation
in this country in connection with property outside
of the cities.
Elena Arguelles personally having lived on the land
in question but 17 years, whereas undisturbed possession
for 30 years is necessary for extraordinary prescription,
it is claimed that she is not entitled to the benefits of
prescription, but in her favor there is the fact that
possession does not necessarily mean actual residence on
the land, and this is especially true when lands are
handed down by family succes-ion, for if this were the
ease then the owner would himself be confined to Lis
property. The claimant suLmitted evidence to show
that the Arguelles family was in continuous, open, and
undisturbed possession of the lands known as "Ma-
mmba" from the year 1810.

7,.

The evidence is that v hen the claimant. Elena Ar
guelles, was anproathed by an aeerit of the L united
States requesting that she sign an IstLmriin Canal
Cnmmis.ion lea-e coverlir tle property thr v as o-
cupyin at Masanmba. she refused. calling hcr-,elf tint
owner of the land and that lhile this refusal brought
forth a letter dated I.:nuarv 3, 1912. from Mr. A A
Agree man, at that time tie land asent of the Paniius
Railroad Companv and Iltlnian Canal Cimmisn.inn.
threatening Ier with a law suit. no such luit was evcr
instituted The letter abore referred to is a part of
the record in thih claim.
At the trial it was prr.vei that the claimant and
her ancestors had allowed oqilatters to occupy a part
of the lands of Ma-amba with very little prorle't, if
any; that these squatters or tenants accepted leases
from the Istl mian Canal C. nrrriiiun or the Panama
Railroad Company rfr the land occupied by them. and
that upon being disposisesCed by the United States
Government in the depoptulariun of the( Canal Zone
the latter Government compernatad them for their
inDrovenmerns.
Courtnel for the United States based on doru ments of
the Panama Railroad Comipanv now owned by the
Government of the I nied State-. denies the lain of
Elena Argiellea to the linds of Ma ianiha, and state
that she is entitled to compensat Ion rnily for any im-
provements she may have lad on the land.

son to the Panama Railroad C'm pari in ISiS, although
oly the deed of ISr6 to Nelson Aa_ rt.istered. The
land in question runs fri.m the Pedro liguel River to
Monte Lirio passing by aerial line over the ridge of
Culebra and Mitre .ountaini. where there is still much
virgin land which was occurred by the United States
under Articles II and MV of the treaty This large
portion of land roughly measured by the umpire on
the French map, No. 4%l. annexed to the record in this
case. has a plane area of about 4.500) hectares, some
kilometers, along the old railroad line and nearly the
same lerneh alone the new line.
Of the title papers presented by counsel for the United
States one only is registered, the public instrument of

"The aforesaid Mr. Zachrisson produced a memo-
randum which he said set forth the conditions of

because, due to the fact that at the time the fincas
mentioned in said memorandum were purchased
it was not necessary to determine the location, size,
and boundaries of the real estate in question with
the precision required by the law to-day, it results
that in the titles of said purchases the deals are
not all given as they should be; and further, that it
has also been impossible for him to secure all the
data necessary. by reason of being only tempor-
arily in this city at present."

necessarily should be done by a udge in any common

Is entitled to an award of S1.000 United States currency.
Commissioner Cornet acknowledges the full owner-
ship right of Elena Arguelles to both fincas which she
occupied but not to the rest of the land clairited, and
states that in his opinion she should receive an award
of $1,000 United Stateq currency.

to compensation in the sum of $5,490 United States

From the foregoine reference to the opinions of the
members of the Comminson it iq seen that three Com-
missioners-a majority of the Commission-in the exer-
ese of their faculties, recognize the ownership by Elena
Arguelles of the two portions of the land which she
actually occupied and according to Article XV of the
treaty that decision is final. It therefore appears that
the question of liability has been decided and that the
disagreement is only a' to the extent 'f that liability.
The umpire considers the question of liability in
the same ligbh as the ma;or;tv of the Commissicn
First, I recognize the ownership of Elena Arguelles
to the lands claimed: second, though the squatters
on the property of Masamba have not claimed the

'I i e tides are plaC.ed i, tte order ol occurrence, with
their times on the tirst line and heights on the second
line of each day: a comparison of consecutive heights
will indicate whether it is high or low water. The
heights in feet and tenths are reckoned from mean low
water springs, which is the datum of the soundings on
the Coast and Geodetic Survey charts for this region,
and which is 8.2 feet below mean sealevel. To find
the depth of water, add the tabular height to the sound-
ions given on the chart, unless a minus (-) sign is be-
fore the height, in which case subtract it.
The lime used is Cosmopolitan Standard, for the

consecutively from Oh midnight) to 23A (11.00 p. m.).
All hours greater than 12 are in the afternoon (p. m.)

LINES THROUGH THE CANAL.
Services In Fairly Regular Operation over the Great Trade Routes.
The lines which have established regular or approximately regular
services through the Canal since the resumption of traffic in April
include:
From the Atlantic terminus to South and Central A merica-The
Pacific Steam Navigation Company has services from Cristobal to
west coast ports as far south as Valparaiso and Coronel and as far
north as San Jose de Guatemala, calling at the principal way ports.
Sailings for the Central American ports to the north are monthly.
Sailings for Tumaco and Ecuadorian ports, as far as Guayaquil,
are every three weeks; and a service between Cristobal and Buena-
ventura and Tumaco has a sailing every three weeks.
The South American Steamship Company (Chilean Line) maintains
approximately a weekly service between Cristobal and ports as far
south as Valparaiso.
The Peru\ian Steamship and Dock Company of Callao (Peruvian
Line) maintains a service between Cristobal and Ecuadorian and
Peruvian ports, going as far south as Callao and making its principal
calls on the way at Guayaquil and Paita. The line has sailings each
way about once a week.
The Columbia Maritime Steamship Company, Limited, operates a
vessel in regular service between Cristobal and Buenaventura, making
about two round voyages a month.
From the Atlantic terminus to Central and North'America-The
Pacific Mail Steamship Company is operating a line between Cristobal
and San Francisco, with a sailing each way a;out every nine days.
Calls are made at ports of Central America and Mexico on the way.
From the Atlantic coast of the United States to the Pacific coast of
South A merica-This is the route of heaviest traffic. Many of the
-vessels plying over it are in the nitrate trade and used exclusively by
charterers; the following commercial lines maintain fairly regular
servicess :
The Merchants' Line, operated by W. R. Grace and Company, plies
between New York and ports of Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, with a
'sailing each way about every two weeks.
The United States Steel Products Company operates the New York
and South America Line between New York and the west coast, as far
-'.south as Valparaiso, with a sailing each way about every third week.
6 The West Coast Line (Wessels, Duval and Company), plies between
: New York and Chile and Peru, with a vessel going each way about every
third week.
SFrom Europe to the Pacific coast of South America-The East Asiatic
*Company has a line from Copenhagen, by way of Gothenburg and
'Christiania, to Valparaiso and intermediate ports, operating on a
fortnightly schedule.

26 THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

The Johnson Line plies between Swedish and other Scandinavian
ports and the west coast, as far as Valparaiso, with a sailing each
way about every 60 days.
The Booth Line has a number of vessels in service between Great
Britain and the west coast of South America; sailings have not been
regular, and the ships are regular Brazil traders, tramping during the
war on account of interrupted trade in their usual area.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has a vessel frequently
direct from Great Britain to Peru and Chile; but the principal service
of this company is rendered through its lines from Cristobal to the
wemt coast, connecting at Cristobal with the lines of the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company and ot her Atlantic carriers. The same arrange-
ment governs homeward shipments from the west coast, the vessels
which go all the way to Great Britain being a minor part of the service.
The transfer service at the Atlantic terminus of the Canal, referred
to in the first section of this article, cares for the greater part of Euro-
pean shipments through the Canal to the west coast of South America.
From Europe to the west coast of North A merica-The East Asiatic
Company has a service between Scandinavian ports and San Francisco,
operating a vessel each way about every fourth week.
The Johnson Line has a service over this route, primarily between
Sweden and San Francisco, with a vessel each way about every 60 days.
The H-arrison-Direct Line has a service between Great Britain and
the west coast as far as Puget Sound, with a vessel each way approxi-
mately every sixth week.
The Malple Leaf Line plies from New York to Vancouver, to return
to Europe by way of California ports and Santa Rosalia. Ships of this
line are scheduled to sail every five weeks.
From lhe Atlauntic roasl of the United Slates to Japan, Siberia, China,
and the Philippine Islands-During the past few months the outward
movement over this route has exceeded in tonnage the traffic one way
on any other of the routes named with the exception of the shipments
from the west coast of South America to the United States. The move-
ments of vessels, however, have not been regular, as most of them
load and clear as cargo offers and do not attempt a fixed schedule. The
tendency to this- practice is fostered by the length of the voyage and a
general uncertainty as to the return voyage, with what cargo and by
what route.
The principal lines operating in this service are the American and.
Oriental Line, the Barber Line, Shewan Tomes and Company, and
Alfred Holt and Company, sending out vessel, among them, about
once every 10 days from New York; the American and Manchurian
Line (Ellerman and Bucknall), about once in three weeks; the Nippon
Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, approximately semimonthly in each di-
rection; and ships operated by Norton, Lilly and Company sail at
irregular intervals, approximately once a month.
The Luckenbach Line is operating in this area, sending a ship out
from New York about once in three weeks.
It may be noted here that the East Asiatic Company sends an oc-
casional vessel to the Far East direct through the Canal; and at
irregular times the vessels of the company return from the Far East
to Denmark through the Panama Canal.
The Atlantic-Gulf-Far East Line has sent a ship through the Canal,

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD 27

outward bound from the United States to Japan, and will continue the
service according to the availability of tonnage.
From the Atlantic coast of the United States to Australia and New
Zealand-The United States and Australia Line operates between
New York and the ports of New Zealand and Australia, with a vessel
out about every month.
The Ellerman Lines have a service from New York to Australia
and New Zealand, with irregular sailings.
The Luckenbach Line is operating a service to Australia and New
Zealand, with irregular sailings.
The Federal Steam Navigation Company, a New Zealand corpora-
tion, has established a line between New Zealand and New York, with
a ship each way approximately every six weeks.
The American-Australia Line operates between New York and
Australia, with a vessel each way about every 60 days.
The Commonwealth and Dominion Line serves these trade areas,
with a ship about every fourth week.
From Europe to Australia and New Zealand-The New Zealand Ship-
ping Company operates a line between New Zealand and Great Britain
with possible way calls at Norfolk and New York. Sailings each way
are every 28 days for mail boats, with intermediate sailings of cargo
ships.
The Federal Steam Navigation Company operates over the same
route, with a ship each way about once a month.
General-The vessels of the Nautilus Steam Shipping Company
(the old Gulf Line) sailing from Great Britain to the west coast of South
America via the Strait of \lagellan, and returning up the coast, make
the home voyage through the Canal.
At the present time there is no regular service in the United States
coastwise trade, between the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United
States. During the fiscal year 1915 this was the heaviest traffic
through the Canal, being nearly 40 per cent of the total. The inter-
ruption of traffic through the Canal by the slides for six months, be-
ginning in the middle of September, 1915, caused the diversion of most
of the vessels formerly in the coastwise trade to the foreign trade.
Since the reopening of the Canal the coastwise trade has been relatively
slight, and there is no line which at this time operates a service ap-
F preaching regularity. The Pacific Mail picks up at Cristobal a con-
siderable quantity of cargo for San Diego, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco.

Notice to Steamship Lines.-Supplying Bunker Coal.
1. Difficulties experienced in securing the delivery of sufficient coal
to supply ships using the Canal with all the bunker coal they desire
make it necessary to request the cooperation of steamship lines in
limiting the amount of coal required by their ships to a minimum.
2. For the present, it is requested that vessels be dispatched so that
those passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific will require only sufficient
Bunker coal to reach San Francisco, Honolulu, or Coronel. Those
vessels trading to South American ports north of Valparaiso will
Sbe supplied with sufficient coal for return voyage to the Canal. In
the case of vessels passing from the Pacific to the Atlantic and bound
for European ports, it will be impracticable at present to supply them

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

with sufficient bunker coal to make the voyage direct, but they will be
bunkered to reach Norfolk or Newport News, Virginia.
3. Those vessels using either terminal port as a terminus of their
established route should be dispatched so as to require only sufficient
coal to make the next port of call on their established route where a
commercial coaling station is available.
r 4. It is hoped that deliveries will in a short timenmake in unnecessary
to longer restrict the amount of bunker coal for vessels using the Canal.
Notice to Steamship Lines.-Wrecking Operations.
The Canal has in its organization all necessary wrecking equipment
and is prepared to undertake wrecking operations of any magnitude
within the waters of the Canal Zone. In case of grounding or casualty
necessitating wrecking operations within the Canal, all necessary
gear will be supplied and operations undertaken immediately for the
floating or removal of the vessel in distress. The charges for this will
be at the regular rate, actual cost plus 10 per cent.

Communication Officer.
By order of the Secretary of the Navy, the title of the Radio Officer,
Canal Zone, has been changed to "Communication Officer, Canal
Zone. "

Toyo Kisen Kaisha to Increase West Coast Service.
The Toyo Kisen Kaisha, which has been operating a line with
regular sailings every 60 days in each direction over an itinerary
including Valparaiso, Iquique, Callao, Balboa, Salina Cruz, San Fran-
cisco, Honolulu, Yokohama, Kobe, I\Ioji, and Hongkong, announces
its intention of increasing the service to one of approximately monthly
sailings by adding three ships to the line.

The "Siam" Causes Damage by Sheering in Cut.
While passing through the Cut southbound on August 28 the
motorship Siam of the East Asiatic Company sheeied to the star-
board and touched ground on the west bank of the Canal, outside the
buoyed channel at Cucaracha slide, bending the tips of three blades of
her starboard propeller. After passing the slide and when about
1,500 feet north of the mooring station at Paraiso the Siam became
unmanageable, sheering to the port side and then to starboard, and
finally striking the Pacific and the Tiberia which were moored on the
west bank, awaitingothe passage of the southbound ships. All three
vessels were damaged slightly. The Board of Local Inspectors has
found the master of the Siam responsible and the pilot culpable.

The following civil service examinations will be held on the dates indicated below.
Information concerning the same is posted at Canal clubhouses and post offices,

discharging the colliers, and the two of the four reloader towers which
have been taken over for operation are able to supply cbal to vessels
as rapidly as required. In fact, the reloaders in actual practice usually
supply the coal faster than required, for the work of trimming in
bunkers in most of the ships requires considerably more time than is
needed for the delivery of the coal to the hatches or on deck. One of
the Elders and Fyffes ships which has a large, open hatch amidships
over self-trimming bunkers received recently 1,250 tons in three
hours; but where time is lost in trimming the coal in bunkers a ship
may need eight hours to take her supply.
The reloaders were designed primarily for rapid delivery of coal to
barges and colliers with large and conveniently placed hatches. In
order to adapt them better to the delivery of coal to the run of merchant
ships, with all sorts of hatches and coaling ports, the construction of
portable pipe chutes will probably be authorized. These can be affixed
to the discharge chutes of the reloaders and swung around to various
positions to deliver the coal to ports inaccessible to the ordinary reloader
chutes. This will simplify both delivery and trimming in many cases.
The barges equipped with Demayo conveyors are still in use at the
Canal ports, and are in considerable demand for ships taking relatively
small quantities of coal while lying at dock for receiving or discharging
cargo. Locomotive cranes with grab buckets are also used, for delivery
from cars to ships in dock.
In the use of the new coaling plant there is no charge for delivery in
addition to the cost of the coal, which is now $6 per ton and will ad-
vance to $7.50 per ton on October 1. There is a charge of $2 per hour,
however, for the use of each mechanical hoist or crane engaged in coal-
ing ships elsewhere than at the coaling plant.
Traffic Suspended by Cucaracha Slide.
Traffic through the Canal was suspended from August 30 to Septem-
ber 7, inclusive, for ships drawing over 17 feet of water. On Sep-
tember 8 the movement of ships was resumed and on the 9th the last
of the waiting vessels was passed through the Cut.
The suspension was caused by a sudden forward movement of a
large rock in the base of Cucaracha slide. The bowlder was of hard,
compact rock and it was necessary to drill and blast it before the
dredges could handle it. With this rock removed the normal condi-
tions have been restored.
Radio Station on Navassa Island.
A radio station (call letters W\QN) has been established on Navassa
Island by the contractors, the Snare and Triest Company, who are

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

erecting a lighthouse on the island for the United States Lighthouse
Service. It is expected that the lighthouse service will continue the
operation of the radio station after the light shall have been placed
in use.
Navassa lies off the coast of the peninsula forming the southwestern
extremity of Haiti, directly on the course of ships plying between the
Isthmus and north Atlantic ports by way of the Windward Passage
to the east of Cuba. It is usually the first land sighted by ships from
Colon making direct for the passage, but having an elevation of approxi-
mately 250 feet and being without distinctive features it is hardly
visible at a greater distance than 20 miles. Ships pass on either side of
it, though generally to the eastward, and with the increase in traffic
in the Caribbean the light will be a valuable aid. The latitude and
longitude of the station are 180 30' N. and 74 52' W.
The establishment of the light on Navassa marks the beginning of
execution of a policy on the part of the United States to erect suitable
aids where needed at points some distance from the Canal in order to
assist ships to and from the Canal.
Finding of Board of Local Inspectors in Shoaling of the "Lautaro."
The Board of Local Inspectors in its investigation of the striking of
a shoal at the base of Cucaracha slide on August 25 by the steam-
ship Laularo did not fix the responsibility on any individual. It ap-
peared that the buoy on the port side was displaced by the wave action
of the ship and that, had she been in the middle of the channel as
buoyed, she would not have struck. It is necessary to buoy the
channel from day to day and to drag it constantly between passages
of ships in order to keep tab on any underwater movements of the slide;
and surveys have shown that the rock on which the Laularo struck
had not moved, from uhich th2 inference is ihat the buoy moved.
Four ships navigated the channel safely on the day of this acci-
dent, one of which was larger in dimensions and of deeper draft
than the Lautaro. Since that date a number of ships larger and of
deeper draft have safely navigated by this point in a channel appreci-
ably more restricted than that which was available on the day of the
Lautaro'. passage.
The Laularo has been repaired in the dry dock at Balboa, and has
proceeded on her way to Iquique.

The "Cuzco" Tows a Hulk to San Francisco for Renovation.
The steamship Cuzco, which has been plying between Balboa and
west coast ports of South America, clearing from Balboa last on
July 12, sailed from Callao for San Francisco on August 15 towing a
hulk which was gutted by fire several years ago, and h is since been
lying at Antofagasta. The hulk has been bought by \V. R. Grace
and Company, who will overhaul it and fit it with Diesel engines. -

Weather Conditions in the Month of August.
The rainfall was generally above normal over the Pacific section,
while over the Central and Atlantic sections it was generally below
normal, the deficiency being approximately seven inches over the
Atlantic section. Totals ranged from 5.05 inches at Culebra to 16.56

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD 35

inches at the station on the Gatun River. The greatest amount of
precipitation recorded on any one day was 4.21 inches, at M\iraflores
on the 14th, which was the only daily rain in excess of four inches.
The estimated rainfall over the Gatun Lake watershed was 11.51
inches, or one per cent below the 6-year mean, while over the Chagres
River basin above Alhajuela it was 11.62 inches, or 19 per cent below
the 15-year mean.
The air temperature over the Pacific coast was two degrees below the
average, while over the Atlantic coast it was one degree above. The
atmospheric pressure and daytime cloudiness were above normal
on both coasts, while the relative humidity and wind movement were
above normal on the Pacific side, and below on the Atlantic. The
surface temperature of the sea was approximately one degree below the
average on the Pacific coast, and one degree above on the Atlantic
side. The evaporation was below normal on both coasts, and slightly
above normal over Gatun Lake.
No fogs were observed on either coast, but night and early morning
fogs were observed quite frequently over the interior. Of the fogs
observed, 32 per cent were dissipated by 6.30 a. m., 96 per cent by
7.30 a. m., and all observed lifted or were dissipated by 8 a. m.
Elevations of Gatun Lake in feet above mean sealevel were as fol-
lows: Maximum, on the 15th and 16th, 86.84; minimum, on the 20th,
.28th, and 29th, 86.25; mean for the month, 86.41; evaporation
-over the lake surface, 4.793 inches.

The "Izabal" Returns with Cargo.
H The steamship Izabal, which was formerly used by the Pacific
kMail to haul water from Taboga Island to ships calling at Balboa,
:prior to the piping of fresh water to the docks, and was sold to oper-
ators of a manganese mine in Costa Rica, who converted her into a
cargo carrier, returned to the Isthmus on September 6. She was in
-transit from Punta Arenas to Cristobal with a cargo of 200 tons of
manganese and lead, which is being discharged for transshipment to
tNew York. The Izabal is registered in Punta Arenas and is the first
Costa Rican ship to make the passage of the Canal.

P anama Railroad Ships to Sail from Cristobal on Wednesdays.
Beginning with the sailing of the steamship Advance on Septem-
ber 20, the ships of the Panama Railroad Line will sail from Cristobal
for New York cn Wednesday instead of Thursday. Arrival in New
York will be on Tuesday for the Panama, Allianca, and Colon, and

36 THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

on Wednesday for the Advance. Sailings from New York will continue
to be on Thursdays.
The Wednesday sailing from Cristobal has been adopted in con-
sequence of the ability to unload and reload the smaller ships at Cris-
tobal in five days. The earlier sailing will give additional time in
New York for minor repairs to the ships.
The Crislobal has been withdrawn from the regular schedule,
following the return of the Panama to service after being overhauled
in dry dock, but will be operated on her former "wild cat" schedule,
making one round voyage in approximately a month. The Ancon
will continue in operation under the same plan. Both the Ancon
and Cristobal will carry passengers both ways until further notice.
Pacific Mail Has Sailing for Guayaquil.
The steamship San Jose of the Pacific lMail Steamship Company
sailed from Balboa for Guayaquil via Buenaventura and Tumaco
on Tuesday, September 12.
This will be the first call of a Pacific MIail ship at Guayaquil or other
port south of Balboa in nearly 40 Nears. From Guayaquil the San
Jose will return to Balboa by way of intermediate ports, and \ ill pass
through the Canal to Cristobal. Whether the service to the south ports
will.continue will depend upon the cargo handled on this trip.
Pacific Mail Office Moved to Cristobal.
The principal office of the Pacific lMail Steamship Company on the
Isthmus has been moved from Balboa to Cristobal. in consequence of
making the Atlantic end of the Canal the terminus of the line. The
office is in the Masonic Temple.
Maiden Voyage of the "Standard Arrow."
The steamship Standard Arrow, an oil tanker recently completed
at Philadelphia, arrived at Cristobal on September 9 on her maiden
voyage. She is traveling in tlhallast to San Francisco, to enter into
the oil trade from that port. The Standard Arrow is a, handsome ship
of 6,763 net tons, Panama Canal nmeasurement. She is 467 feet 6
inches in length by 62 feet 7 inches beam, and was drawing 22 feet at
the time of passing through the Canal. She can carry 12,000 tons of
cargo and fuel sufficient for the voyage from San Francisco to the
Far East and return.
The Standard Arrow is operated by the Standard Transportation
Company of New York.
October Weather Probabilities.
During the month of Octoljer, 1916, the following weather con-
ditions may be expected at the Canal entrances. Predictions are
based on the records at Colon and Ancon for the past 9 and 10 years,
respectively:
SWinds-Light, variable winds will prevail over the Atlantic coast
with an average hourly velocity of about seven miles an hour. The
prevailing direction of the wind will ,e from the southeast, although
west and northwest winds may be expected during the middle of the
day. A maximum velocity of from 30 to 38 miles an hour may be
reasonably expected during the passage of local rain or thunder squalls.
Over the Pacific coast and the interior, light northwest winds will
prevail with an average.hourly velocity of about six miles an hour.

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

Here, too, during occasional rain or thunder slualls, the maximuin
velocity of the wind may exceed 30 miles an hour, but these storm; are
invariably of short duration.
:Rain-The average October rainfall at the Atlantic entrance of the
'Canal is 14.72 inches, and on the Pacific side, 10.53 inches, these
1-averages being for periods of 46 and 19 years, respectively. Twenty-
.five days with rain may be expected on the Atlantic coast, and about
S20 on the Pacific coast, while the average number of days with heavy
F'rain (1.00 inch or more) is seven at the Atlantic entrance and three
Iat the Pacific. Throughout the length of the Canll, the greater part
.'of the rainfall occurs during the daytime, the heaviest rainfall generally
K"occurring between the hours of 1 p. m. and 6 p. m. However, at
This season of the year, the percentage of daytime rainfall is higher
-.over the interior and Pa.cific coast than over the Atlantic coa.-;., and
,:heavy rainfall may be expected there during the early m )rnin.j hours.
iOver both co.asts the time of least rainfall i from 8 to 9 a. m.
SFogs-No Iogs are likely to occur at either Canal entrance, bu.t night
and early morning log, wiill be nurmenrous over the interior. U.-er the
:i.Gaillard Cut section of the Canal, 25 nights with fog miy be expected,
,but as all fogs lift or become dissipated before 8.30 a. m., they should
'.not prove a hindrance to navigation.
STemperature-The average shade air temperature will be about 79
'degrees Fahrenheit over both coasts. On the Atlantic coast the
.temperature is not likely to rise above 90" F., or f[.l1 lower than
.700 F., \while on the Pacific side the maximum temperature may be as
$high as 950 F. and the minimum as low as 680 F. The mean daily
.range in temperature \\ ill be about 100 F. on the Atlantic coast and 140
l:F. on the Pacific coast.
Barometric pressure-The average sealevel atmospheric pressure will
lbe approximately 29.85 inches over both coasts. The maximum read-
ding for the month is not likely to exceed 29.95 inches, or the minimum
vto be lower than 29.70 inches.
j. Relative humidily-The humidity of the atmosphere should average
about 87 per cent over both coasts. The range is greater on the Pacific
coast than on the Atlantic, the average nighttime humidity being 96
per cent and 92 per cent, respectively, while the average minimum
recorded during the day is 75 per cent and 78 per cent.
SStorms-The Isthmus is seldom visited by violent or widespread
'atmospheric disturbances, although rain, wind, or thunder storms of
more or less limited extent are of common occurrence, and may be
:expected quite frequently during the month. Rough weather may be
experienced occasionally to the northward of the Atlantic entrance,
;as this is the season of the West Indian hurricanes. The path of these
.:storms lies well to the northward of the Isthmus during the month of
.October, but a rough see accompanied by brisk winds may be expected
outside the breakwaters, following the passage of one of these storms.
Smooth seas are usually experienced at the Pacific entrance during
-the month of October. Generally cloudy weather will continue over
:.both coasts.
Tides-The extreme tidal range at Colon is less than two feet, and
tidal fluctuations at the Atlantic entrance need not be considered.
Panama (Balboa) tide predictions for the remainder of September
and for October are presented on the following page:

The tides are placed in the order of occurrence, with
their times on the first line and heights on the second
line of each day; a comparison of consecutive heights
will indicate whether it is high or low water. The
heights in feet and .tenths are reckoned from mean low
water springs, which is the datum of the soundings on
the Coast and Geodetic Survey charts for this region
and which is 8.2 feet below mean sealevel. To find
the depth of water, add the tabular height to the sound-
ings given on the chart, unless a minus (-) sign is be-
fore the height, in which case subtract it.

Mr. Charles Mel\lle Brown ii I t'e n-sm-. .,f Mr.
Henar R. Brown and Mr. J-arnci N. Molrev of Ternes-
see. and with full powers to art for them. purcha-ed
from the owners of tile so-called "Alha propprty" a
parcel of land ol 250 hectares, afterward- known a' the
Venado p:lantation." Title to the property and its
area, and in inventory of the improvements thoreon
was agreed to between Mr. P.rouri anr.d couti-l fir the
United States. and (conurrecJ in bty the ('Crmmin -ion,
and in consequence of that unanrmou' asrreement. when
Mr. Brown was dispos~.e-'ed by the linited StIMtes the
claim rested only upon the value of the land, improve-
ments, and the damages sustained.
In the year Iq09. when Americans were encouraged
to establish agricultural industries in the Canal Zone
by an Act of Congre-s providing for tie leasing for peri-
ods of 25 years of public lands in the Zone for that
purpose, Mr. Brown commenced to clear the land and
to plant along scientific lines, as Commissioner Bouve
states in his opinion, stumping 225 acres at consider-
able expense.
This plantation is situated along the sea shore on
the Pacific side about nine miles from Balboa and 12
miles from Panama-on account of having to co around
the breakwater constructed by the United States
since the purchase of the land by the claimants.
Though the order expropriating all private prop-
erties in the Canal Zone is dated December 5, 1912,
the Venado plantation was not actually occupied by
the Government of the United Slates until the year
1915. and in the meantime Mr. Brown, in order to main-
tain the plantation in the same state of cultivation as
It had in December. 1912. continued his work there
without interrption until the time of the trial of the
claim in the early part of the year 1915.
) In view of the Executive Order of the President of
the United States of December 5. 1912. the claim-
ants on April 21, 1913, filed with the Joint Commis-
,ion, duly established under the treaty, a claim for
damages in 'the sum of $213,033 United States cur-
rency, increased in 1915 to 8218.070, and in the present
year to 5268.143.55 United States currency. After a
ull hearing by the Commission. the record of which
may be considered a masterpiece on the cultivation of
coconuts and of the coconut trade, the Commieion
agreed in the ownership of the land involved and as to
the inventory of the improvements on the property,

for preprrty disigruld no f'alle Bruja. decision of the
umpire. rulr .o dii.sasam.l ,'.-. '97, doket No. 852, Au-
gust 2,1016O-Wherever reference is made in this decision
to "the treat" it i- under-.tood to mean the Canal
Treat' between the rmnied States of America and the
Repubtli of Panama. ratified February 26, 1904.
(in May 9, 1'13l. Maniela (George de lelesias filed
with the Joirnt Commi-tiin a claim for $6.000 IUnited
States curren:cy for the expropriation of two hundred
and forly-eight '(241,i heptare. of land called "Calle
Bruja". situated near the hamlet of Lion Hill.
The Joint Conmmiion after having accorded this
claim public hearing was unable to arrive at a decision
relative thereto on aiourint of the- Commission being
equally divided iln rnn li- inn on the quer.uon of li-
ability, and. theref'..re certified this claim tothe um-
pire for decision, in accordance with Article XV of the
treaty.
The 'pinion of the rommis winners are: Two mem-
berC hqld that their is nn liability on the part of the
United Statel anl that the l aiir of Manuela George
de I.le.ia,< should Ibe dj-mitpe.1. and the other two
m.-mberb hold that there i. lial.ility and that the claim.
ant is entitled to an aw.ar. ir. the sum of 1$.968 United
States rurrent-\ for two hundred and forty-eight (248)
hectares at 510 per h-cta.re.
The claimarit 'aicrtS that she was the owner of a
tract of land called "Calle Bruja" containing two hun-
dred and fortv-ei-,ht i he.-tares which formerly
wa- the property of her father from whom 0he inherited
it aq his sMile heir. She a!ppt-.red bel.re the Commission
with in pruif to e'taihlih title ti the land excepting
that si-me .if the witrneses it-itified that the claimant
h.ad collected rerti trom rolr-on, who occupied parts of
it, but the time such tolleI.lions were made is rather
indefinite. She never lived ion the lands and only claims
to have visited th-em oc-a-ionallv.
In the year IS5i' the Federal State of Panama on
behalf of the Panama Railroad Company sought to
ascertain the privately onred lands in the vicinity
of the "Calle Bruja" trart. and gave notice to all claim-
ants to make known ihe-ir titles to ownership. Neither
the claimant, Manuela Gporee de gllesias, nor her
father presented any claim according to the map made
at that time and the report of the Secretary of State
of Panama.
It aiupears further than in 1909 a Joint Commission
of the two G;irernments convened to assess damages
to lands tat:en ftr r-anal purpowcs. among them being
a part of the "Calle Bruji" tract. No one appeared
at that tim-. before the C'ommi-sion aw the owner of the
"Calle Bruja" tract and an award was therefore made
for 62.4-S to "unknown owners" to be paid into the
courts of the Canal Zone.
It further appears that on the 26th day of August,
190'.. the Circuit Court of Cristobal heard and decided
the cLAim uof various persons who claimed the award
above referred to in the sunm of t2.4S0. Manuela
George de Igle:iasa was not one of those who appeared.
She neither appeared before the Joint Commission
of 1908 (though public notice was given to all eon-
cernedi to as.ert her claim to the land nor did she ap-
pear in the Circuit Court to controvert the claims of
those who demanded the money previously awarded.
Consequently, if she or her father ever had any rights
to the lands claimed they have carelessly allowed
others to supersede them, having neglected to properly
protect their property before the Government of the
Federal State of Panama. before the Joint Commis-
sion, and before the Circuit Court of Cristobal. Canal
Zone. when the lands of "Calle Bruja" were paid for
by the Llnited States.
In conclusion and in accordance with the opinion
of Commiasioners Bouve and Cornet, the opinion of
the latter having been largely followed in the prepar-
ation of this decision, my decision as the umpire duly
appointed under the treaty is that the claim of Manuela
George de Iglesias, docket No. 852. for the lands of "Calle
Bruja" should be, and the same is hereby, dismissed.

from San Diego to Norfolk; the transport Buford from Manila to
Newport News; the submarines C-I, C-2, and C-3, with their tender,
the cruiser Charleston, from Cristobal to Balboa.
The tolls earned in August amounted to $417,080. Of this amount
$255,925.30 was from ships passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and $191,154.70 from ships passing from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
The tolls on ships moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the
United States coastwise trade amounted to $7,706.25; two ships in
addition to those from which this sum was collected were sent through
without charge, in carrying coal from Norfolk to California ports,
because they were in the service of the United States Government.
These ships had an aggregate net Canal tonnage of 7,685 tons. No
tolls were collected from ships moving from the Pacific to the Atlantic
in the coastwise trade; one Government vessel went through on this
routing.
An analysis of the cargo carried through the Canal during the
month, based on the itemized declarations submitted by the masters
of vessels, is published on the following pages:

Notice to Shipping.-Small Arms Target Range Off Pacific Entrance.
The Captain of the Port of Balboa has issued the following notice,
under date of September 18, 1916:
Temporary small arms target range has been established at Fort Grant, making it
necessary to restrict the use of the following described harbor space:
This space is bounded on the north by the international boundary line from
Punta Nala to Tres Hermanas Islands and on the east by a line from Tres
Hermanas Islands to the north end of Naos Island and embraces the space to the
northward and westward of these lines to the shore line enclosed therein.
While firing is going on, a red flag will be hoisted near the eastern extremity of the
dump upon which Fort Grant is situated. This range will be in use until November
15.
All boats are warned to keep clear of this area.
Stamp Tax on Steamship Tickets Removed.
An Act of Congress to increase the revenue, and for other purposes,
approved September 8, 1916, repealed the provision in the act of Oc-
tober 22, 1914, which provided for the assessment of stamp taxes on
steamship passenger tickets sold for passage from the United States.
Comparison of Tonnage through the Canal with that Clearing from United
States Ports.
The aggregate net tonnage of the ships clearing from ports of the
United States during the fiscal ear ending June 30, 1916, has been
reported as 24,475,103. During that period the net tonnage of the
ships making the transit of the Canal was 2,479,761, which is ap-
proximately one-tenth of the clearances from United States ports.
Reduction in License Fees for Motor Vehicles.
The Executive Order published in this issue makes important
changes in the law relating to motor vehicles and the yearly license fees
are reduced, as follows: For pleasure automobiles from $25 to 85;
for motor vehicles used for carrying passengers for hire, from S50
to $30 or $20, according to power; for trucks, from $90 to $40, $30,
or $20, according to capacity; for motorcycles, from S10 to S2. No
charge will be made for original license tags. A charge of one dollar will
be made for replacing lost tags.
Remittances for motor vehicle licenses should cover only the unex-
pired portion of the present calendar year at one-quarter of the annual
rate. Money orders or checks in payment for these licenses should be
drawn in favor of the Collector, Panama Canal, and forwarded to the
Division of Civil Affairs.

Inspection of Household Goods and Goods of American Manufacture Re-
turned to the United States.
The Chief of the Division of Civil Affairs has issued the following
memorandum concerning the inspection of household goods and goods
of American manufacture returned to the United States:
Under the agreement with the United States Treasury Department for the in-
spection, sealing, and certification of household goods and goods of American manu-
facture being returned to the United States by employees of The Panama Canal, the
Panama Railroad Company, and members of the military organizations on the Isth-
mus, compliance with certain regulations is required.
Only household effects which have been owned and actually used abroad as such
by the shipper or his family for not less than one year previous to the date of cer-
tificate, and articles of American manufacture which have not been advanced in
value or improved in condition by any process of manufacture or other means, may
be sealed by Canal Zone customs inspectors.
This privilege is limited to shipments returned when sent otherwise than as baggage,
and neither personal effects nor household goods being returned to the United States
as personal or excess baggage can be sealed and inspected under this agreement.
It sometimes happens that after packages have been sealed and certificated by
customs inspectors they are then forwarded by employees as personal or excess
baggage, which constitutes a violation of the agreement with the Treasury De-
partment. Unless this practice is discontinued, customs inspectors will be forced
to remove the seals and destroy the certificates on all such shipments being for-
warded to the United States as baggage, which will make it necessary for such
shipments to be inspected at the port of entry in the United States.
Arrangements for the inspection of household goods and goods of American manu-
facture under the foregoing agreement should be made with the Chief Customs In-
spector at Cristobal (telephone 172, Cristobal) by people residing at Gatun and Cris-
tobal, and all others should make arrangements with the Chief Customs Inspector at
Balboa (Telephone No. 35, Pacific Terminals, Balboa). These arrangements should

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD 65

be made several days prior to the time of inspection, and no goods should be packed
before the arrival of the customs inspector. It should be remembered that customs
inspectors are acting as inspectors only, not as packers, and that they work the same
hours as other employees, therefore, requests for inspections during the noon rest
period and after five o'clock can not be granted.
Handbook for High School Teachers and Pupils.
The Division of Schools has issued a booklet, "Course of Study, Canal Zone High
SSchools", which is to serve as a manual of information for teachers an'l pupils, and
will assist the latter in the selection of their courses. It is similar in the general
Nature of its contents to the previously issued booklet, "Course of Study, Elementary
Schools of the Canal Zone."
Civil Service Examinations.
The following civil service examinations will be held on the dates indicated. In-
:formation concerning the same has been posted at Canal clubhouses and post offices,
as per the numbers of announcements indicated:

Panama Railroad Ships to Sail at 11 a. m.
Beginning with the sailing of the Colon on Wednesday, October 11,
the ships of the Panama Railroad Steamship Line will cle-r from
Cristobal for New York at 11 a. m., instead of 3 p. m. The earlier
sailing has been adopted to make the ships arrive at New York at a
more convenient hour.
Sailings from New York will continue to be at 3 p. m., Thursdays.
Passengers from the Argentine.
Increasing numbers of persons bound from Argentina, notably
Buenos Aires, for the United States are making the voyage by way of
Sthe Canal. They go to Valparaiso by way of the Tra.nsandean Rail-
way and embark there for the Canal Zone on one of the two lines
plying between Chile and the Atlantic terminus of the Canal. The
voyage to Balboa takes about 15 days and close connections are usually
made on the Isthmus with ships for the United States, which are at
sea from five to eight days.
Two of the steamship lines which are interested in this traffic have
:. agencies in Argentina. The distance from Valparaiso to New York,
sailing direct to and from the Canal, is 4,633 nautical miles, of which
1,970 miles .-re on the Atlantic. From Buenos Aires to New York
direct is ,871 miles; via Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and
Pernambuco the distance is 6,004 miles. The railway journey from
Buenos Aires to Valparaiso requires about a day and a half; in the
winter the trains are frequently delayed by snows.
Service between New York and West Coast Ports of Central America.
The New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company (Ward Line)
has issued announcements of the proposed inauguration of a passenger
and freight service between New York, the Canal Zone, and Pacific
ports of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala, and
Mexico via the Panama Canal direct.
The service is to be begun by the steamship Jalisco, leaving New
York on Saturday, September 30, and alternating with the Mexico II
every 21 days thereafter from New York. The ports of call will be
Cristobal and Balboa, Canal Zone; Puntarenas, Costa Rica; San Juan
del Sur, Corinto, and Amapala, Nicaragua; La Union, La Libertad,
and Acajutla, Salvador; San Jose, Champerico, and Ocos, Guatemala;
Sand Salina Cruz, Mexico.
SRules for Docking Vessels in Dry Docks Belonging to the Panama Canal.
Following the placing of the new dry dock, No. 1, in service at Bal-
boa, the following information and ruks have been issued:
1. The dock at Balboa is 1,000 feet long, 110 feet wide, with a depth of 35 feet over
the blocks at mean tide. High tides vary from four to ten feet above mean tide.
The dock at Cristobal is 300 feet long, and 48 feet wide, with a draft at mean high
water of 13 feet 6 inches over the blocks. Occasionally the depth of water reaches
14 feet 6 inches but not more than 13 feet 6 inches can be counted upon.

74 THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

2. The Balboa shops are fitted to perform any work required of a first-class ship-
yard, including heavy forgings, steel, iron, and brass castings, and large size boring and
turning, and work of any character will be performed on request and charged at
actual cost plus 10 per cent.
3. At Cristobal facilities for ordinary repairs are available. Facilities for the
heaviest work are lacking, but the facilities at Balboa are available, subject to delay
necessary for shipping heavy parts back and forth over the railroad and to the ad-
ditional expense of freight. In urgent cases arrangements may be made for trans-
portation by special train at increased cost.
4. The Panama Canal will accept no responsibility, under any conditions, for
demurrage or for damage to ships or their equipment when being docked or undocked
or while in dock or waiting to dock. Damage to docks and their fittings, to other
Panama Canal property or other vessels or property caused by any vessel while
docking or undocking or while in dock must be assumed by the vessel, regardless of
the conditions under which it may occur. Every reasonable effort will be made when
undocking a vessel to lay her alongside the wharf in the entrance slip or to point her
fair to be taken in tow or to proceed under her own steam without damage, but failure
to do so will involve no claim against The Panama Canal.
5. Applications for docking will be filed with the Captain of the Port, as far in
advance of the arrival of the vessel as possible, and as soon as the exact time for dock-
ing can be fixed the master of the vessel will be informed thereof.
6. In making inquiry about docking, the draft of the vessel and her condition as to
loading should invariably be given, together with desired date of docking and infor-
mation as to any peculiarities of the vessel which might affect docking.
7. In general, preference for docking will be given in the following order. In each
class preference will be given in accordance with the date of application, provided
the vessel offers herself for docking at the time applied for:
(a) Vessels in distress requiring to be docked.
(f) Passenger or mail ships on a regular schedule or on a special schedule pri-
marily for transportation of passengers or mail, and ships with perishable cargo.
(c Vessels transiting the Canal.
(d) All other vessels.
8. In special cases which justify such action, the Governor will at his discretion
grant special preference to any vessel making application for docking.
9. The Panama Canal reserves the right to refuse to dock any vessel or to refuse to.
dock her except during daylight hours, and also to require a vessel to enter the dock
after dark if it should be deemed desirable, but in the latter event the extra cost will
be remitted unless the vessel is benefited. The right is also reserved to require over-
time work on any vessel in dock, but in that case the extra cost will be remitted if the
vessel receives no benefit. If, in order that a vessel may be docked at some particular
time, it is necessary to dock or undock another vessel after daylight hours, or to per--
form any work upon her at extra cost the additional cost will be charged to the vessel
benefited. The policy will be not to perform overtime work unless requested by the
vessel or unless clearly necessary for the safety of property or the satisfactory opera-
tion of the Panama Canal.
10. Should the owners of two vessels or their authorized representatives desire to
exchange dates of docking, the same will be permitted provided the rights of other
parties are not thereby invaded and any extra cost due to such exchange will be charged
to the \v-s-els interested.
II. T e Panama Canal reserves the right to dock vessels stern first, to dock more"
than one vessel in dock, and to flood the dock at any time when it may seem necessary
or desirable to do so, but time during which the dockis flooded will not be charged for-
unless work not dependent upon the dock being dry is under way and unless the final
completion is not delayed by flooding. Vessels for whose benefit the dock is flooded
will be charged extra, at regular rates, for the work of flooding and pumping.
12. If, when nore than one vessel is in dock, the undocking of any vessel is delayed,
no charge \will Lie made for the time during which undocking is delayed.
13. Pa nments for docking will be made in accordance with the general rules for
paying for work performed by Panama Canal shops. No'work on ships in dock will
be permitted by forces other than those of The Panama Canal, except that by special
arrangement the bottom of the vessel may be cleaned and painted by the ship's crew.
14. Before entering the dock the captain or other authorized representative of the
owners shall sign an application on form provided and all persons connected with the'
ship shall strictly comply with the terms thereof.
15. vesselss wishing to enter dock will be required to furnish a docking plan;

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

:otherwise the expense of sending down a diver to examine the bottom, if considered
necessary, will be charged in addition to docking rates. Any damage to dock or ship
or to the equipment or fittings of either caused by inaccurate or incorrect docking
plans or information from the ship or from divers will be charged against the ship.
S16. The Panama Canal reserves the right to undock any vessel at any time for
Reasons considered by the dock authorities to justify it, and to redock the vessel when
.:the dock is again available. When this procedure is adopted, the cost of undocking
P: and redocking will not be charged against the vessel unless the work is for her benefit
Sand no allowance will be made for delays or losses to the vessel resulting from such
Action. Wherever the term "dock authorities" is used it will be understood to mean
the Superintndent of the Mechanical Division or his authorized representative directly
,in charge of the dock shops or the dock.
17.' If a vessel for which the time of docking has been set fails to be ready for dock-
ing at that hour, she shall lose her turn unless she can be docked when she is ready
-without prejudice to the claims of an)' other vessel. If she loses her turn, a new appli-
'cation must be filed.
S18. Before entering dock, vessels operating on oil fuel shall take such precautions
tias may be necessary to reduce to a minimum the danger of fire or of explosion of
Gases from the oil and shall carry out any instructions in this connection which may
;,be received from the dock authorities. No explosives of any kind will be permitted
":on a vessel in dock without specific approval of the Governor of The Panama Canal.
19. Vessels offering themselves for docking must be cleared of all water not abso-
rlutely necessary for maintaining stability and the amount on board for this purpose
hall be reduced as much as practicable without undue trouble and expense. Such
changes in distribution of water, fuel, or cargo as may be necessary to insure satis-
.factory docking conditions shall be made promptly by the ship's force when requested
the dock authorities. If it is necessary to place weights on board for the purpose
removing a list, The Panama Canal reserves the right to charge extra for placing
them.
S20. When practicable, the vessel to be docked will be berthed at the wharf within
the dock slip under the general regulations governing berthing of vessels. From this
berth she will be handled entirely by the dock authorities, and, unless special ar-
rangements to the contrary are made, with lines supplied by the dry dock, and will
