for the Canal at Culebra
ME SlJK, f r ! " rV l
IN' THE CULEBRA CUT, Isthmus of
Panama. March 2. Special Cbw
respondence ol the Sunday Orcgonian.)
I have come- to Panama to tell you
how Uncle, Sam is digging his his ditch
from ocean to ocean. I have traveled
over.the line of the canal from the AUan
tic to the Pacific, have talked with the
engineers of the varions sections, and, in
company kith Chief Engineer Wallace
and Governor Davis, have walked over
the greater part of the Culobra out.
I sit in the Culebra cut as I -write, with
thousands of men at work about me. with
steam drills boring holes Into the rocks
for blasting, and with the new steam
shovels puffing: away as they load the
cars, each doing the work of hundreds of
men.
I am In the midst of the mountains.
Bagged, rough and covered with a dense
growth of vegetation, they-rise high .above
the great rocky gorge in wnich the ex
cavation is now going on. Below me
the water lies in the bottom of the cut,
and looking up and down the .gorge I can
see the work of the French engineers.
They labored 30 years, and spent here
and" in Paris $280,000,000 in gold; but they
worked in the dark; and with boodllng
and bad. business, accomplished only one
tenth of this excavation. The French
were fine engineers on paper, but they
never ascertained the cost estimates of
mcnK machinery and materials which are
absolutely essential to any rational deduc
tion as'to the time it -will take to build
thet canal or the money needed for the
purposfe.
What is Being Done at Panama.
This it) what the Canal Commissioners
and the chief engineer are doing today.
They are making the teste which will
form the basis of all estimates and con
tracts for the work of the future. There
are now gangs of men all along the line
of the canal under the chargo of skilled
Tfals mp. made from one of the old French lithographic presses
at Panama, shows the excavation, or cut, that muat be made for
the canal from Colon to Panama. By the scale of miles. It will be

feet high, but here about 150 feet have been cut out. Only tbe

engineers lootcing into every cost element
of the canal construction. Some parties
are at the headwaters of the Chagres.
and others at various places along its
course making boring for tunnels and
dams.. Others are preparing the way
for the harbor excavations at the Atlantic
and Pacific ends of the canal and others
are testing every foot of the dredging to
be made through the lowlands and on the
rises to the Culebra cut.
Here at Culebra there is a small army
at, work, a part of it using the old French
machinery and others working the great
steam shovels, testing the different sec
tions of the pass and ascertaining to a
cent and minute just what it will cost in
time and money to get each kind of rock
and earth -out. This work is experiment
al, but at the same time practical. Every
day takes out arid carries away a mass of
material -which "will not have to be han
dled again, and this while the work is be
ing organised and tested for the great un
dertaking of the future.
In addition to this the sanitation proj
ects are golngj-apldly on. The vegetation
has been cut away from the score and
more towns which lie on both onds of the
Panama railroad, and drains made off
into the bushes. The streets of Panama
City arc -dug up or the new sewers and
waterworks, and. a great reservoir for a
supply of fresh water has been made In
the mountains.
The architects and carpenters are ev
erywhere preparing quarters for the men.
Hundreds of the old French buildings are
being remodeled, and the sound of the
hammer and saw can be heard from one
nd of the isthmus to the other. The
old French materials have been chopped
out of the bushes, and machine shops
have been erected at Panama, Colon, Bas
Matachln, Empire and at other places
along the route. Indeed, tho whole canal
zone has begun to hum, and from now
on It will bu one of the industrial bee
hives of the world. The employes at
work, Americans and natives, already
number something like 5000. and this force
will be steadily Increased until It is three
or four times as great.
Uncle Sam's Big Ditch.
Indeed, the work planned here is so vast
that I can only describe it by simplifying
the figures by homely comparisons. In
the first place, let us take a blrd's-oye
view of the canal. It is to cross tbe
Isthmus, about the middle of the
Panama Republic, a country which Is as
long as from Washington City to Boston,
via New York, and which rangos in
width from 20 to 180 miles. The canal
is to go through one of its narrowest
parts, but it winds its way this way
and that, and the distance from ocean
to ocean will be about 45 miles, and with
the dredging necessary at the entrance in
the Atlantic and Pacific just about 0
miles. Looking at the map the job seems
a chore in comparison with the Suez Ca
nal, which Is 100 miles long; with Kiel,
.which is 70 miles, or with the Grand Ca
nal of China, "which runs north and south
for more than 1000 miles, crossing two
mighty rivers, through a territory popu
lated by millions.
This view of the canal changes when one
stands on the ground. The Job increases
in size, and a trip over the route shows
even the amateur that It Is the most stu
pendous engineering construction ever
undertaken by man. At the two ends
of the route the canal runs through river
valleys, the Chagres on tbe Atlantic, and
the Rio Grando on the Pacific. Here the
ground is low and swampy and the ex
cavation will not be more difficult than
that of Sues, X little farther inward
the land begins to rise, but there is plen
ty of room to pile the excavated materials
on the banks, and the "work can be handled
much like that of the Chicago drainage
canal. Farther still you come to the
mountains, and you arc in the Culobra
pass, where lies tho great problem of
the work, which forms the chief subject
of my letter today.
The Culebra pass Is. in fact, one of the
lowest passes of the Andes, those mighty
mountains which in South America Tise
more than four miles above the sea.. and
which drop down as they cross the Isth
mus on their way north to Join hands
with our Rockies. In this country there
mountains are on the average only about
one-third of a mile high, and here at
Culobra their highest peaks are just about
300 feet above the sea.
This height the French have cut down
150 feet, leaving us in round numbers 150
feet more to cut befpre we reach sea
level, and about 200 feet before we get
to the bottom of Uncle Sam's ditch, which
will have to be dug 40 feet below sea level
to accommodate the big ships of the day.
In this statement I assume that we will
have a sea-level canal. That is the gen
eral opinion here at Panama, although no
one is wiping to make that statement for
publication.
This cutting at Culebra will be on the
average eight or ten miles long for the
upper levels, but it lengthens as it goes
down, and It will be 25 miles long when
it approaches the level of the sea. ' It Is
composed of rock and Garth, which will
have to be gouged out -and carried away
to let the oceans flow through. In other
letters I shall describe the problems of
the Chagres, the construction of the har
bors and the other engineering works
now planned. They are all. however,
subordinate to the big part of the Job,
which is the digging out and carrying
away of this great mass In the center of
which I sit.
A Ditch Twice Around the World.
I wish I could make you see it as it
rises about me. the rock and earth ex
tending in strata of various kinds up the
sides of the mountains, with car tracks
running along the levels, and the ma
chinery and men working away. Here
the rock is hard, there it looks like coal,
and farther on it seems as soft as clay.
Some of the upper levels are clay, and
now and then a landslide occurs, covering
both men and machinery. An enormous
amount hae been done, and the chief en-
1ST
giheer tells me there are yet more than 1
100,000,000 cubic yards to be gotten out
before the canal prism can be made. This j
100,000,000 cubic yards is from the Culebra
cut alone.
One hundred million cubic yards!
The figures convey nothing to minds be
low those of the chief engineer or an Isaac
Newton,. and I doubt if even they could
tell you what they mean. Let us figure
the matter out for ourselves. A cubic yard
of earth, is a block of earth a yard wide.
a yard long and a yard thick. Take a
hundred million such blocks, and suppose
them to be the sections of a ditch a yard
wide, a yard deep and 100,000,000 yards
long, and you begin to see what the
Culebra cut means.
But stop. One hundred million yards is
300.000,000 feet. That is the length of onr
ditch. Now In round numbers 6000 feet
make a mile, and dividing the 300.000,(0)
feet by that we have 00,000 miles as the
length of our ditch. In other words, if
the earth were solid the Culebra cut ex
cavation which Uncle Sam has yet to
make would equal a ditch three feet wide
and three feet deep,; long enough to go
two times around this 25.000-mlle globe,
with 10.000 miles of ditch to spare. The
left-over would equal a tunnel three feet
square through the center of the earth and
one-fourth of the way back. A grizzly
bear or a 300-pound hog could crawl
through that tunnel.
Take another comparison. It is only
240,000 miles from the earth to the moon.
That ditch. If the space between were
solid ground, could be dug; one-fourth of
the way there -with the same labor; and,
as the moon is only 2100 miles around.
such a ditch could girdle that great body
25 times and leave plenty over for side
tracks.
What Handling the Dirt Means.
But there Is another big element in the
Culebra prpblem which makes it enor
mously greater than the construction of
a ditch of that kind. In our ditch the
rock and earth could be thrown on tho
banks. Here It must not only be dug and
blasted out. but it must be carried an
average distance of ten or 12 miles away.
A thousand olevators could not lift It
over the hills on each side of the cut. It
could not be stored on the slopes of the
mountains. All the valleys about here
could be filled up level with the dumping
of a hundred tn part of it. It must be
carried on cars far off to other valleys
or dumped into the Pacific Ocean, -which
is about 12 miles away. This means. an
enormous amount of hauling. Indeed, this
whole mass would have to be carried
about ten miles from where it now lies.
Let us take a homely glance at that
Item. A cubic yard is roughly estimated
to weigh a ton. I am something of a
farmer, and in the Virginia hills where
I live a ton is a good load for two horses.
Suppose this 100.000,000 cubic yards, each
yard a ton. loaded on two-horse wagons
and give each wagon and team a space
SB feet long on the roadway, making a
chain of 100.000.000 wagons carrying this
mass of earth. Let the chain start at
Panama and move onward. Where would
the first wagon be when the last wagon
Is loaded? It would be ten times as far
away as the length of our big ditch. Tho
train would have to be COO. 000 milea long
long enough to reach to the moon and
back again, with enough left over to go
almost five times around the world. Tho
whole line of wagons would reach exactly
24 times around the globe.
The Question of Time.
All this excavation work at Culebra has
to go on In the short space of eight miles.
This limits the number of men and ma
chines which can, be employed at one tirao
end it forms a big element in estimating
the length of the job. Figured out by the
former commission, it would require 20
years to complete It; but with tho best of
modern machinery and American business
methods two or -three shifts a day will bo
-3G
had and by means of electricity the work
will go on night and day all the year
through. At this early period the chief
engineer does not pretend to give an opin
ion as to the cost of the canal nor as to
the time it will take to finish it. He
does not say and has not said whether
he thought a lock canal would be pref
erable to a sea-level canal. He only says
that he is here as the servant of the
canal commission, of the President and
the American, people, ready to do to the
best of his ability what they shall decide
they want done. He is now gathering the
information by practical work, which will
enable him to figure out what each kind
of canal will cost and how long it will
take to build It.
To show you how such things are calcu
lated let me give you an estimate of the
handling of this 100,000,000 cubic yards at
Culebra. Tbe cars they are using here
will each carry just ten cubic yards, and
20 cars can be hauled In one train, mak
ing 200 cubic yards to a train. Therefore,
if this whole mass is loaded upon cars
it will take 500,000 trains to haul it away.
Now suppose you can load 200 trains In
a day. This, according to the ten-hour
I Ail of tho opinion that the expression
by which God is said to be "All in j
All" means that he ia "All" in each
Individual person. Now he will be "AH"
In each Individual person In this way:
When all rational understanding, cleansed
from the dregs of every sort of vice, and
with every cloud of wickedness swept
away, and when all that can. cither foci
or understand or think will bo wholly God,
and when It will no longer behold or re
tain anything else than God, but when
God will be the measure and standard
of all its movements. Thus God will be
"All," for there will no longer be any
distinction of good and evil, seeing 'evil
nowhere exists, for God. is all things,
and to him no -evil Is near, nor will there
bo any longer a desire to eat from the
tree of knowledge of good and evil on
the part of him who Is always in posses
sion of. good and to whom God is all.
The last enemy, moreover, who is called,
death, is said on this account to be de
stroyed, that there may not be anything
left of a mournful kind when death does
not exist, nor anything adverse, when
there Is no enemy, moreover, who is
called death.
The destruction of this last enemy, in
deed, is to be understood not as it Its
substance which was formed "by God is to
perish, but because Its mind and hostile
will, which comes not from God, but from
Itself, are to bS destroyed.

It is not easy epeedlly to bring into
the right way tho man who has a long
time previously been held fast by error.
It may, however, be effected, for, when a
man turns away ever so little from error,
the mention of the truth is acceptable to
him. For just when the cloud breaks ever
so little there comes fair weather; evea
so. when a man turns toward God, the
thick cloud of zrror which deprived him
of vision is quickly withdrawn from be
fore him.
For error, like disease and sleep. long
holds fast those who come under its in
fiuence. but truth uses the word as a

rate now prevailing, means the loading i
and carrying away of 20 trains every j
hour, or a train every three minutes all
the working day through. But there are
500,000 trains to be taken out, and, di
viding this by 200, the dally rate, we get
2500 days as the time required to haul
out this earth at three minutes to the
train. But 2500 days at 25 working days
to the month equals 100 months, which di
vided by 12 gives us S& years as tbe time
needed to haul out the material at that
rate of speed. But three minutes Is a
very short time to load a train. Tho time
must be doubled and quadrupled by ad
ditional tracks and sections of work, so
that 12 minutes, or 24 minutes, may be
allotted to each train.
This means a great railroad organi
zation. It means four systems of double
track railways, one on each side of the
center lino of the cut and one at each
end leading from the excavation to the
spoil banks. It means a vast number of
steam shovels, so worked by a continu
ous stream of cars that they will never
be Idle. It means. In short, the most

For those men who call iniquity right

He. I say. does really exist, and by his
power does everything subsist. This Be

come into being; but he has existed from
all eternity, and will exist for ever and

He changeth not. while everything else

thou wilt properly consider these matters.

they should clothe thee, in the garb of a

made and why it passes away, and why
tbe body exists, and why it fails to decay,
and why it continues, thou canst not
know until thou hast raised thy head from
this sleep In which thou hast sunk, and
hast opened thy eyes and seen that God

Indeed, the chief engineer will soon
know Just what he can do with each
kind of labor and every kind of machin
ery. He is testing the isthmian labor to
see how much a man la worth per hour
and whether he can be depended upon.
So far he finds that one-third of the na
tive labor lays off all the time, and he
has to have 100 men employed to be sure
of 70 turning up. He is testing the old
French machinery to see whether it will
pay to use It, and also the new machinery,
getting every element of cost in a cubic
yard, of excavation. He now knows to a
cent, every day, just what each cubic
yard, which is taken out costs In fuel, la
bor, transportation to dumps, in mining
and blasting. In maintenance of tracks
and in general expense, so that he . can
see at a glance which items are high
and how they can be cut down. This Is
being dono with several thousand men
at work actually excavating enormous
amounts of material. The product, how
ever, is nothing in comparison with, the
value of the knowledge gained for esti
mating tha work of the future. Nothing

saved in a mutilated form:
There certainly was not a time when
God was not the Father, neither, as
though he had not brought forth these
things did God afterwards beget tho Son,
but because the Son has existence not
from himself, but from the Father being
tho brightness from the eternal light, ho
himself is absolutely eternal, for slnco
light Is always in existence, it Is manifest
that the brightness also exists, because
light is perceived to exist from the fact
that It shines.
But this word "I am" expresses the
eternal substance. If he is this reflection
of the eternal light, he must also be eter
nal himself.
For If the light subsists forever, it is
evident that the reflection subsists for
ever; and that this light subsists is known
only by its shining, neither can there be
light that does not give light. We come
back, therefore, to our Illustration. If
there is day there 13 light, and if there
is no such thing, 'the sun certainly cannot
be present. If, therefore, the sun had
been eternal, there should also have been
endless day. Now, however, as it is not
so, the day begins when the sun rises and
ends when the sun sets. But God is eter
nal light, having neither beginning nor
end.
And along with him there Is no reflec
tion, also without beginning and ever
lasting. The Father, then, being eternal,
tbe Son also is eternal, being light of
light; and If God is tbe light. Christ is
the reflection.
From Gregory Thaumaturgus.
(250 A. D.)
Therefore, he says, "Be of good cheer,
4T have overcome the world"; and this he
said not as holding before us any contest!
proper only to God, but as showing our
own Cesh its capacity to overcome sufr
fering and death, and corruption. In order
that, as sin entered into the world by
flesh, and death camo to reign by sin
over men, the sin in the flesh might also
be condemned, through the self-same flesh
in tbe likeness thereof; and that the
overseer of sin, the tempter, might be
overcome, and death be cast down from
its sovereignty and the corruption in the
burying of the body done away.
And the fruits of the resurrection be
shown and the principle of righteousness
begin the courso in the world through
faith and the kingdom of heaven preached
to men, and fellowship be- established be
tween God and men.

Just now the advance guard of the
great army of American machinery is at
work in the cut. I wish I could show
you these big steam shovels which are
working away under my eye. The word
shovel gives no idea of them. Each is a
gigantic machine worked by a steam ten-'
gine, with a steel dipper as big around
as a hogshead .and great steel teeth at
its end half as long as your arm. This
dipper is raised and lowered by the touch
of a button. It grinds Its way Into the
rock and gouges out five two-horse wagon
loads of stuff at a bite, and lifts it up
and drops it down on the car. Two bites
are a load for a car, and. Indeed, some
times one bite means almost that much.
I saw one shovel pick up a rock weigh
ing ten tons and lift it to the car trucks
as though it were feathers.
Each of these shovels working steadily
at ten hours a day, can handle 25.000
cubic yards in a month, which, taking
our ditch Illustration, means an excava
tion three feet wide, three feet deep and
15 mlle3 long. If it works day and night
it can gouge out a ditch 30 mile3 long in
one month. This means that one shovel

how the text has been altered since then:

oppression of every contract (which have
no power); .let the troubled go in peace,
and break every unjust engagement,"
Cyprian on Jealousy and Envy.
(Written About 250 A. D.)
To be jealous of what you see to be
good, and to be envious of those that are
better than yourself, beloved brethren,
seems in the eyes of some people to be
a slight and petty wrong, and being
thought trifling and of small account, it
is not feared. Not being feared it Is
not contemned (neglected) being con
temned, it is not easily shunned, and it
thus becomes a dark hidden mischief,
which, as it is not perceived, so as to
he guarded against by the prudent, secret
ly distresses incautious minds. But, more
over, the Lord bade us be prudent, and
charged ns to watch with careful solici
tude lest the adversary, who is always
on the watch, and always lying in wait,
should creep stealthily into our breasts,
and blow up a flams from the sparks,
magnifying small things into the great
est, and so while soothing the unguarded,
and careless with a milder air and softer
breeze, should stir up storms and whirl
winds, and bring about tbe destruction
of faith, the shipwreck of salvation, and
of life.
He goeth about every ono of us; and
even as an enemy besieging those that
aro shut up In a city, he examines the
walls and. tries whether there is any part
of the walls less firm and less trustworthy
by entrance through which he may pen
etrate to tho inside.
He presents to the eye seductive forms
and easy pleasures, that he may destroy
chastity by the sight. He provokes the
tongue by reproaches, be Instigates the
hand by exasperating wrongs, to the reck
lessness of murder; to make the cheat, he
presents dishonest gains to take captive
tho soul by money; he heaps together mis
chiefs unheard; he promises earthly honors
that ho may deprice of heavenly ones; he
makes a show of false things that he may
steal away the true. Therefore beloved
brethren, against all the devil's deceiving
snares, or open threatenlngs. tho mind
ought to stand arrayed and armed ever
as ready to repel, as the foe Is ever
ready to attack, and hence those darts of
his which creep upon ns in concealment
are more frequent and h)s more- hidden
and secret hurling of them is tho more
severely and frequently effectual fa our
wounding In proportion as it is less per
ceived. Let us also be watchful to understand
working night and day will dig more than
a mile of ditch in that time , In a year
it would make a ditch from Washington:
City to Albany.
Something less than a score of these
machines have been ordered, and four; are
already at work. It is the intention of
the chief engineer, when the excavation
Is in full blast, to have 100 such shovels
plugging away , and thousands of cars
keeplngfthem busy day In and night out.
As to the question of labor, the French
at one time had several thousand men
at work, but they never had a force equal
to these machines. Each shovel can do
the work of 500 men, and when we have
100 of them stationed here we shall have
60,000 men bottled up in steel men who
will not get yellow fever, and who will not
lay oft for malaria, who will never
grow tired and never strike. We may
have trouble with the 10,000 or 15,000 hu
man beings who will be hewers of wood
and drawers of water, but this great ma
chine force of 50,000 men Is what under
good business direction wiljt give Uncle
Sam his canal at a lower cost and in a
shorter time than the ordinary mind can
conceive. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
and repeal these, among which is the evil
of envy and jealousy; And if any one
closely look Into this, ne will find that
nothing should be more carefully guarded
against by the Christian, nothing more
carefully watched than being taken cap
tive by envy and malice.
But through envy of the devil, death
entered Into the world; therefore, they
who are on his side Imitate, him. Hence
in fine began the primal hatred. The un
righteous Cain Is jealous of the righteous
Abel, In that the wicked persecutes the
good -with envy and Jealousy. He was un
righteously stricken who had been the
flr3t to show righteousness.
He endured hatred, who had not known
how to hate. Did not the Jews perish for
kthis reason that they choose rather to
envy Christ than to believe him? Dis
paraging those great works which He
did, they were defeelved by blinding jeal
ousy, and could not open the eyes of their
( hearts to the knowledge of divine things.
Considering these things, beloved breth
ren, let us with vigilance and courage
fortify our hearts dedicated to God
against such a destructivenes3 of evil.
Moreover, there is no ground for any one
to suppose" that evil of that kind is con

The mischief of jealousy, manifold and
fruitful, extends widely. It is the root of
all evils, the fountain of disasters, the
nursery of crime; the material of trans
gressions; thence arise hatreds, thence
proceed animosities. The mischief is
much more trifling, the danger less, the
cure easy,, when the wound is manifest

you may be. your adversary 13 with you.
your enemy Is always within your "own
breast: your misphief is shut up within
you. Tou are captive under the tyranny
of jealousy.
