Summary of Events in
the Construction of
the Panama Canal
One of the i;reatest eiiKineei mik

more important eents in connection
with the canal ina lie ol mteicst
The work was staned in 1KS1 h a
French nimpanj which slant I altei
ward went bankrupt, and sold then
holdliiKH to the New Panama Canal
coinpan The were not iihk h moie
snccoHHfnl than their pi edecessoi s.
and in l!t0.'5 the United States pin
chased their rights and piopeit toi
$40,000,000 and the canal one Horn

At first the eimineei in chaine w,is-
a man taken from cnil lite, but this
did "not prove FiiccfMnliil mid aimv wi.

ol the (anal one Suite Kebmaij,
l!iu7. Colonel (Joethals has lx en Inef
engineer and has proved to be a ie
markably eflicient men
It was decided at the outset to pio
ceed with construction ol all ol the
impoitant points at one tune so that
they might be completed togethci 01
as nearl so as possible It was e
pected that Culebra Cut and the Catun
Dam would prove the most important
factois in the canal construction and
the most impioed methods weie
adopted lor this woik The ecaa
Hon Iuih been can ted on b the hug
est steam shovels that have evei been
built and the material is earned awav
bv the alwavs waiting tiains of dnt
c.us The slides in Culebra Cut have
caused moie or less dillicult.v m that
thev necessitated the excavation of
about 23 per cent moie of material
than had been originally calculated
It is hoped that the lormal opening
ol the canal will take place .Ianuar
1, 1II14, and all ot the important works
are now either completed or far
enough advanced that onlj some nn
expected catastrophy will prevent it
There will still be a small amount of
material to be taken out after the wa
ter is turned into the canal but this
will be removed by dredges that will
be in continuous operation for at least
seveial yeais to take care of any ma
terial washed into the channel from
the banks The operation of the
canal and the canal .one will be under
the dnection of Colonel (Joethals ac
cording to the piesent dec lsion of Con
gress
The cost of the canal const I net ion
has been greater than was originally
estimated but a great many changeB
have also been made The total cost,
based on piesent expenditures, is
:C7r, 000,0(10 A svstem of tolls has
been devised that will ultimatelv re
turn Ibis amount to the United States
The annual cos! ol maintainence and
opeiation will be about $4,000.1100 and
this is also coveied by the levenue
horn the canal tiallic Thus the ad
vantages ol a dnect water w.i.v be
tween the east and west may be made
accessible at no gieat expense to the
United States, and the ompletion ot
the Panama canal sees the lullillment
ot the hopes ol an isthmian canal
