In my JuiIk ment the very able argument of tne ma jority of the ooard of consulting engineer vitiated by their failure to pay proper need to the lessons taught by the con struction and operation of the 800 canal, it must be borne In mind, as the commis sion points out, that there la no question or building What is picturesquely termed the btraus of Panama." thnt Is, a water way through which the largest vessels could go with safety at uninterrupted high speed. Botn the sea level canal and tne proposed lock canal would be too narrow una shallow to be called, with any truth fulness, a strait or to have any properties or a wide, deep water strip. Both of them would be canais, pure and simple. Cost aud Advantages. Each' type hits certain disadvantages and certa n advantages. But In my Judgment me disadvantages are fewer and the ad vantages very much greater In the case of a lock canal substantially as proposed in the papers forwarded herewith, and I call especial attention to the fact that the chief engineer, who will be mainly responsible for the SUCet'HS Of thlK mivhlv nvlnnrlm, feat, and therefore who has a peculiar per sonal Interest in Judging aright, Is em phatically and earnestly In favor of the lock canal project and against the sea level project. A careful study of the reports acrm to establish a strong probability that the fol lowing are the facts: The sea level canal would be slightly less exposed to dumage in the event of war; that the running ex penses, upsrt from the heavy cost of In terest on the amount, employed to be built would be less and for small shins the tlma of transit would probably be less. On th other hund the lock canal nt a level of eighty feet or therenlwuts, would not cost much more than half as much to build and could be built in about half tho time. wnne mere would he very much less risk connected with building It, and for larga ships the transit would be quicker, while, taking Iflto account the interest on the amount saved In building, l be actual cost of maintenance would be less. After being ui.ni. .1 vtuuiu itv easier 10 enlarge the lock canal than the sea level canal. More. over, what has been actually demonstrated in maaing ana operating tne great lock canal, the Soo, a more Important factor of truffle than the general aea level canal the Sue, goes to-aupport the opinion of the minority or ine board 01 consulting engi neer and the majority of the canal eom- mlrslon as to the superior safety, feasibility and desirability of building a lock canal at ranama. Pinna for Lock Caaal. Tha law on our statute books seem to contemplate a lock cunal. In my judgment a lock canal, as herein recommended, la advisable. If the congress directs that a sea level canal be constructed Its direction will, of course, he carried out. Otherwise the canal will be built on substantially the plan for a lock canal outlined In tha acttmpanying papers, such changea being msae as oeing necensary, including possi bly the change recommended by the secre tary of war as to the site of the dam on the Pacific side.

He was a willing wit ness and aald that while he waa purchas ing agent and traffic manager of the Re public Oil company be gained hi knowl edge of the method pursued by the Stand ard OH company.
