AUOUBTA, Oa., March I. "Wo are down
and out," said J. B. McDonald, president
of the Panama Construction company In
dlseusglng the rejection of the bid of W.
J. Oliver for the construction Of tho Pan
ama canal. "They have taken tho matter
out of our hands and It now rests with
tho president. Tho responsibility should
be placed where it belongs.
"I cannot see why our bid should nave
been rejected except that It Is due to the
far reaching machinations of combinations
of influences that have worked against all
bids, that threaten actual construction of
tho big canal. It Is hardly necessary to
say that these Interests are those of the
transcontinental railways.
"It Is generally recognised that this
agency waa working to defeat the project
long before It ever took tangible shape.
Tou will notice that one by one the prac
tical men who have been Identified with
the canal have been . picked off bj . big
financial Interests. It 1 not 'difficult to
trace the relation. This is very poor
business, however, for v the canal is bound
to oome; If not during this administration,
then . during another. It la Inevitable.
"I cannot see where tho president, and
his associate are right and do not see how
they will be able to build the canal."
"Sooner or later the ditch will have to
bo dug under the businesslike manage
ment of a contractor who ha figured the
cost down to a minimum. Our company
was willing to perform every Item of the
agreement required by the government. It
was our understanding that when the condi
tions Imposed by the government were met
the contract went to our company. We had
made every preparation, at conslderabl
expense, and were prepared to begin
shoveling dirt on or before the time limit
of sixty days." -
Mr. McDonald doe not believe thnt ther
is anything In the report that W. J. Olivet
will enter suit against the government fot
the preliminary expense of $10,000 Incurred
In making the bid.
"I am certainly not going to Washington
to confer with him further In the matter.
He said our company will be dissolved as
rapidly aa possible, and that will end the
matter. I have not henrd a word frwi
Mr. Oliver since-the rejection of the bids."

over the matter I have come emphatically
to the conclusion that a lock canal Is not
only the best, but the only ono possible.
