WATERS OF THE GREATEST OCEANS CONNECTED In Seven Years The I'nitiHl States Has Acroniplislied Greatest Kngliieering Feat of The AgeMt PANAMA, Oct. 10. With the blowing up today at 2 o'clock of the liu.uuua uke in the Panama Canal, tho great ditch is technically com pleted. The telegraphic signal from President Wilson was received by Colonel Goethals promptly at 2 o' clock. Instantly the chief engineer gave the signal to fire the immense hlaut, and the deafening roar of the four hundred charges of dynamite planted In the dyke responded to the electric shock. The earth trembled as if shaken by an earthquake. Wait ing dredges immediately set to work clearing away the debris In prepara tion for the next explosion of four hundred charges of dynamite. In this manner twelve hundred end twenty seven charges were exploded the loosened enrth being cleared away by dredges and the dyke grad ually reduced until the water fr-m. atun lake flowed through freely. Engineers believe that small craft will be passing through tho canal within two weeks. History of (he Work. PANAMA CITY, Oct. 10. When . i. ' Svartevoeg Camping Five Hundred Miles from the Pole. Svartevoeg1 is a great cliff, the northernmost point of Hebierg Land, which leaps precipitously into the Polar sea. Its negroid face of black scarred rocks frowns like the carven stone countenance cf some hideously mutilated and enraged Titan savage. It expresses, more than a human face could, the unendurable sufferings of this region of frigid horrors. It is five hundred and twenty miles from the North Pole. Dr. Cook Writes: "As the great cliffs of Svartevoeg rose before us my heart leaped. I felt that the first rung in the ladder ocf success had been climbed, and as I stood under the black cliffs of the earth's northernmost land I felt that I ! looked through the eyes of long experience. Having reached the end of Nansen Sound, with Svartevoeg on my left, and the tall, scowling cliffs I of Lands-Lokk on my right, I viewed for the first time the rough and heavy ice of the untracked Polar sea, over which, knowing the conditions I of the sea ice, I anticipated the most difficult part of our journey lay. At 1 this point I was now to embark upon the Polar sea; the race for my life's ! ambition was to begin here; but first I had finally to resolve on the details of my campaign." the waters of the Atlantic and those of the Pacific were wedded today ! a..u the breaking in two of the back bone of two continents finally coni i pieted, the I'mud States had acliiev i cd what for -two centuries had been i ureanied of, attempted inu aban doned us too gigantic a feat for hu man effort. America's triumph in tho building of the Canal will he written down in history as one of the greatest achievements of man kind. It will stand up as a Sphinx and the Pyramids of tho modern era, and just as the ancient Egyptians overcame what would seem to have been well-nigh insurmountable ob stacle's in their task ,the United Stales has undertaken and accom plished in less than seven years what four other nations of tho world tried and despaired of from the early part of the Eixleenth century. Army of Men at Work. It ha3 thrown across the Isthmus an army of men, and these men have clawed the dreamed of passage way through mountains of rock. It has opened its purse and poured in'o the undertaking a flood of nearly $100,000,000. It Is hard for those -not hero on the scene to appreciate the vast ncas of this work, despite the vol- uiurs that have been written about !t, but the figures are staggering. Imagine a wall of earth ind tough rock, three feet high and threo f eet j y.-jb, wrapped fl times around! Ciu "a.i'i at the equator and you may get an Idea of what Is meant by! 232,353,000 cubic yards, of excava tion which the canal work has called for. Or reduce to tho picture of a solid block the 4.476,850 cubic yards of concrete that have gone Into the construction of tho Iccki ar.i the dams and the spillways. Imagine u river, varying in width from 300 to 1,000 feet and with a minimum depth of 11 feet, climbing In great; steps from sea-level to a height of So feet, passing through a nine mil? cut In a mountain, and descending by stairs again to sea-level, and you have a glimpse of the Panama Canal as It has been created by human hands. It will he possible to go through the canal, from ocean to ocean in eleven hours. It took the buttlcEhlp Oregon r!x weeks to pays around the Horn during the Spanish-American war. From deep water in Hie Carribbean Sen on tho east to deep wated In the Pacific ccean on the west, tho canal meas ures a length of 50 miles. Vessels will reach its summit elevation by a flight of three locks located at Gat un, on the Atlantic side, and by one lock at Pedro Miguel and a flight of two at Mirnfiores, on tho Pacific side. These steps in tho great water way vary in height from 4 7 to 82 fo'.M, and tnoso at G-itun, tho largest ever designed, can bo mounted by the greatest or vessels In less than half an hour each. Th locks at ev tv point Imve been built fn dupli cate the better to accommodate traf fic. The canal has been designed to lake care of 80,000,000 tons of traf. fio a ye:ir. vr fo.'.r times tho amount (Continued on page 3.) THE DOLL SHOP Local Talent Flay Draws Good J Audience.

The spot light operator was not given the proper signal on several occasions and somowhat lessened the effect of the scono. In one scene the effoct was entirely spoiled.
