( their arms and those of their subordinates

with bands stronger than those with

Gulliver's, and It waa only by presenting
the matter to President Roosevelt, who
had watched the vain and chaotic strug

the power which has enabled him to ac
complish the mighty work which every

More than this, Colonel Ooethala ha
used his authority so that his thousands
of employes are glad to obey. He has
brought harmony out of discord among
the American employe, and ha done ths
same with the thirty-odd thousand Cen

knows every bit of tne canal con-
t
ructl n hy close contact with the men
and the machinery. He goes over some
part of the work every day. He starts
out at 7 o'clock In the morning and walks
to these plsces where he Is most needed,
'.alking with the men and directing the
foremen. He knows each branch of the
engineering construction a well a the
division engineer In charge, and has. In
short, a complete grasp of this mighty
tub as a whole and in detail.
I might fill this letter with stories
about him which Illustrate his character
istics. I might tell you how he looks, a
gray-headed giant of fifty, with eyes aa
blue as the Panama aky and muscles as
strong as the steam shovel which are
lifting mountains In the cut far below
me. I might speak ot his nerve and
Ictermlnatlon to get things done, and of
his motto, which seems to be. "Reult
It all coats." and that everything and
iverybody muat be pushed to hurry the
Job. I might speak also of his use of
modern scientific management, of his
Igld economy and his watching the leaks
and of his appreciation that every one of
I mlt- gam's dollars contains Just K0
cents and that every cent spent must do
'its share of the work. I might do all
this and more, but this story Is not a
character sketch. It Is an Interview, or
rather a running chat, gotten especially
for you. about the greatest Job upon
earth, with the man who, more than any
other, is Its mainspring and dynamic
ruier.
V, A Sea-Level Caaal Impossible.
Our conversation covered a wide range.
Colonel Goethals knows the canal so
well that he could talk most Interest
ingly for an hour or more about any of
Its feature. I have room here for only
a part of our chat We had been dis
cussing the mighty locks at each end of
the waterway which will lift the ships
to the level of the great cut which lay
there below us, and I asked whether,
after all. It would not have been better
to have made the cut deeper and have
created a sea-level canal.
Colonel Goethals replied: "No. the
lock canal Is by far the better, and it
will prove to be the more permanent
and the more economical In its operation.
If the government had decided upon a
Ma-level canal that great gorge below
us would have had to be cut eighty
five feet deeper than It Is now. Be
sides. I do not believe that the people
of the Vnlted States would have stood
for the additional time and cost which
would have been necessary to make it.
end that I supposing It were at all pos
sible to have made It. When I came
tere I had a pretty well fixed Idea that
the sea-level canal might be the better,
but my experience ha changed that
opinion, for 1 do not believe that we
could have constructed It on account of
the Immensely greater slide which we
vou;d have had if we had deepened the
rut. As It is now we shall be able to
control the slides, and I do not appre
hend that they will cause any great
damage to the completed canal."
the Slides of the Pater.
"Teli me something about these slides,
colonel. What makes you think they

now because we have studied the
ecological structure ot this part at the
mountains. We have studied the pres

why the ground should not De firm for
all time to come. Uealdes slides of this
kind move very slowly and the proba
bility Is that any that may occur can
easily be handled by the dredges so a
to keep the canal clear. I would say alao
that we are strengthening the walls by
earth binders In the shape of various
(rax see and plants. They will soon be
covered with jungle and this will further
lessen the danger.
Mo Kear of Earth,aakee.
"But how about earthquakes?" I asked.
"We have also considered that possibil
ity," replied Colonel Ooethala "VY have
seismographs here by which we keep
recoids of the earth's tremors and we
also have reports of such machine the
world over. We have records of the
earthquake at Ban Francisco, and ot the
shakes which occurred then at St. Louis
and otherwhere. W find that w have
here about the same trembling ot the
earth a occur at such time In Wash
ington city, and I have decided that It
Is only when I hear that the national
capltol ha fallen that I shall need to
have any great alarm about the canal.
No, the earthquake are not frightening
me at all."
"But are you not In the earthquake
belt?"
"We have never had any great disturb
ances at Panama, although ths belt seems
very pronounced In Costa Rica Just north :
of here. As an evidence of the stability
of construction on the Isthmus you must
have seen the arch In the old church at
Panama. It la the widest, lowest and
nearest horliontaJ of any arch known to
architecture. It Is, perhspa forty feet
long, and consist of one span without
any support except at the ends. That
arch is HO year old and It la still firm
notwithstanding most of the church Is In
ruins. I would say, however that the
Panaman hav a tradition th.it that
arch fell twice during Its construction,
and that at last. In despair, the mon
who was the architect got down on hi -i
knees and prayed to the Lord to heir
hlm In his prayer he said that he would j

prayer is the cause of the stability of the

now erecting a church here on the sone
If that will make the earth more firm
and strengthen Culebra I should be glad i
to have them cover th. hill, of th. cut
with churches from one end to the other.
Seriously speaking, I do not think there
Is any danger from earthquakes."
The Great Dana aad Lake Calaa.
"But, colonel, are you sure ss to the
Gatun dam? Will It be strong enough to
hold back that 164 square miles of water
which will be stored up In the lake?"
"There la no doubt about the dam."
said Colonel Goethals. "It haa been made
according to the regulations which pro
vided that It should be a barrier which
would convince beyond doubt both legis
lator and laymen of Its stability. I be
lieve we could have made a dam of less
slxo for leas money which would have
satisfied the engineers, but the designers
considered this dam desirable and It has
been constructed. The factor of safety
In It la far beyond the absolute necessity.
There ha been a great Interest In tiie
dam and It ha been given more prom
mence among the engineering features
of the work than Is warranted by Its
construction. It I nothing but a h:ll
built across the valley with the spillway
In the middle. You understand how It Is
made. W have formed two great dumps
of the waste material, mostly th. rock
from Culebra, and the lock site and Minii
on the outer lines of the structure, and
have filled in the space between these
dump with th material from the hy
draulic dredges. The spillway is so ar
ranged that It controls the height of the
lake, and at the same time gives us elec
tric power sufficient for the machinery of
the canal. Including the locks. The locks
are among the most Interesting features."
' I- Thaa .-irs.OOO.ono.
"What will be the probable cost of the
canal when it Is completed?"
That will depend very much on the
accessories, such as dry owns, termi
nals, coaling station and upply houses
It will certainly be lee than 1375
At the present time we sre expecting
to save from 115.0DB.0M to fcw.tWO.OOu on
the estimated cost."

can fix ths cost per unit of cubic yard
of excavation or construction or pound
of steel work, and by the ordinary
courses of arithmetic find Just what It
should In the present case the unit
prices wsrs those adopted by the board
of contracting engineers for 1WS."
"Hav you kept within those prices?"
"Yes. we hav cut most ot them very
considerably. Take the unit price of
the concrete. The engineer put that
at 18 per cubic yard. We are making
the locks In the spillway at Oatun
for 7 a cubic yard and on the Pacific
division we have got the concrete work
"n to 15 a cublo yard. You may know
what that means when you remember
Inst we shall use over S.Oronnn cubic
yards at Oatun and over 2.s00,x on
the Pacific division. This mesne a sav
ing of at least K.OOO.wiO at Oatun and
of J7.SO0.OUO on the Pacific. Altogether
It la a saving of D.SOO.OOO. But that Is
a saving of hut one unit price. We
have done equally well In others.

"Miit how can you make such a re
duction?" "We do It by keeping cost sheets of
everything and hy watching the leaks

the engineer not only to design and con-

about thl work w that It had to ba
don well, and done quickly, and every
thing else had to be subordinate to that.
As it is now, there will probably be a
change In the wage scale, and this should
be arranged for by congress at the pres
ent session. If congress will act. we
shall be able to select the operating force
from our present employes, and this will
be a great saving as to time, money, and
In other respects. Congress should f,x a
wage scale for all the positions of the
permanent operating force, doing away
with the Inequalities which now exist.
As It is, some of our present wages have
been made In connection with organised
labor, and the unions have succeeded Ii
Increasing the wages of certain classes
far above what la paid to others of like
character. For Instance, some kinds of
lbor are receiving per cent mor than
similar labor In the United Elate, while
other classes of only 15 or 20 per cent
My Idea would be to make a fixed per
centage of increase, say 25 per cent over
the wage of similar labor In the eastern
part of the United Statea, where th labor
scale is the highest. Thl matter should
be fixed at once. In order that we may he

tion force. Good labor does not go beg
ging, and If not so held these men will

where." Son I.eMoai of th Caaal.
"Has th. world learned any new things
through the construction of this canal?"
"Yes. I think It haa." said Colonel Ooe
thala. "It has learned a great deal about
how to take care of one health la the
tropics, and In general sanitation. I do
not mean that the canal ba taught the
world anything a to malaria and yellow
fever, as far a th. mosquitoes are con
cerned, or of th method of destroying
those Insects. These discoveries were
made by others, and In other part of the
world. It was an English army surgeon
who brought to light the fact that the
malarial mosquito transmitted malaria.
He found it In India, and proved Its
agency some years before we began our
work here.
'The yellow fever mosquito was discov
ered by our own army doctor In Cuba,

and In means of suppressing both wer
developed at Havana. It waa here, how
ever, that the use ot these discoveries
was first employed on a large scale and
by that mean forced upon the attention
of th world. We have shown that by
proper attention to vegetation and drain
age, by the use of coal oil on stagnant
water and by having living quarter
properly screened almost any tropical
region can be made a workable quantity.
"And then we have to some extent
made Improvements In machinery for use
In great works like this. But In that re
spect w hav not don so much aa we
might hav done had the neoceasity for
quick work not been so great. A It I
we have had to fight for speedy results,
and for that reason could not experiment
with the many new Inventions offered
to us. Indeed, where we have tried such
inventions they hav delayed rather than
aided the work."
"Can you not tell me th time when
the canal will he surely opened for the
traffic of the world?"
I cannot give you the exact date when
the first ship will go through. The presl.
dent ha definitely fixed the formal
opening for January I. 1915, whin he has
Invltt-d the navies of tho world to meet

in one grand procession through the
canal. We must prepare for that t!m.
and I feel sure that we will then have
the canal In such shape that the mighty
Ileet can pas through without a hitch.
To do that we shall complete the canal
as soon as possible, and will send any
kind of shipping through It until th for
mal opening comes. In order that the
machinery and th operating fore may
be In perfect working order when th
great time comes."
With thia statement I close th first
half of my Interview with Colonel Ooe
thala. Our talk about th. canal lasted
for sever! hours, nd th remainder of
it Is even more Interesting than that I
have given. It relates to the fortifica
