the plan lis similar to our Louis
iana lottery
The Oanal Zone is a strip of
land extending from the Atlan
tic ito the Pacific across- the dsllh
mus ten miles wide or five miles
each side of the center line of the
canal forty seven miles long and
embraces about 448 square mDles
The length of the canal from
deep water in the Atlantic to
deep water in the Pacific ib fifty
mjiles The working forces are
organized into three divisions
the Atlantic Central and Pacific
divisions
AVe left Panama Friday at S
a m on a special train of five
cairs to view the great Culebra
cut and locks at Pedro Miguel
and Aliralfores AVe were taken
through the center of the cut and
had a clear view of men and ma
chinery at work The plans of
the French company originally
provided for a sea level canal sev
enty ftwo -feet wide and 30 feet
of water in the cut Our plan
provides for a lock system 500
feet is the minimum width thru
the cut with 45 feet of waiter
Highest elevation on center line
through the cut is 312 feet aibove
sea level bottom -of cut when
completed to be forty feet above
sea level highest point of exeava
tion on the side of the highest
hpill is 540 feet above sea level
The bottom of cut has to be brok
en by blasting Drilling is done
by hundreds of machines similar
to ones -used in this country for
veil boring The holes are charg
ed wiifh explosives and fired by
clcetri v breaking the in
shape to be handled by the aieum
hovels and lead id on cars
