THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, t TUESDAY - EVENING, i FEBRUARY. 2, 1909. Oil A Yellow Press of Panama Ee i; sponsible for Latest Scare ; Goethals7 Expert ana His WorK Engineers Say V dm jjiuxe xuau uuuu. v By Frederic j. haskin. (Copyright J909 by Frederic J. Haskin.) Washington,- Feb. l.The Qatun dam is a essential to the successful com pletion of the 'present oanal project at Panama as is human heart to the life of man. - Unless it serves the purpose for which it is planned twq thjrda of the length of the, oanal will be aa un available for ship navigation as though not a dollar1 had been,, spent ' Yet once again the stability and feasibility of the dam has been called Into question. Engineers have gone to the isthmus with President-elect Taft to go over the situation thoroughly, and it la expected their report will settle for all time this problem mac nas reiuBea to stay set' tied. - Nothing vindicates the loner sightedness of Colonel Qoetnais more man tne col lection of the vast array of intormation he will be able to lay before the engi neers when they go into an examination of the matter. Many important actions bad been based on the information at hand about the dam site when he ar rived on the Isthmus. The question of whether the canal should be built on the Nlcarauguan route or on the Panama route depended upon the question whether a lock canal could be built at Panama, and this problem again turned on whether a lock and dam could be built at Bohlo or Oatun. It was de cided that they could be. and Panama became the American canal route. Then the Question of Type. Then came the problem of determining whether the canal at Panama should be at sea level or of the lock and dam type. Mr.- Taft was inclined to Tavor a sea level canal, . but the evidence they were able to submit in favor of Oatun dam changed him into an advocate of the present project. President Roose velt was even more ' strongly an advo cate of the sea level type of canal, and acknowledged the fact in his message to congress. But the evidence made him such a strong supporter of Oatun dam that he was .willing to take the re sponsibility of making it a lock canal if congress failed to assume that re sponsibilitywhich it did not fall to do. While It is true-that a majority of the members of the board of consulting en gineers voted for a sea level canal, the record discloses that a number of these members expressly stated that the vote was not because of any lack of confi dence 'in the Oatun dam. Dam Expert Busy With. XrlU. - But evidence that was held strong enough to Justify the crossing of the Rubicon of the type of canal question was not strong enough to satisfy Colo nel Goethals. He wanted the millionth doubt removed. He wanted to know the foundations of that dam as a pianist knows his keyboard. 80 he secured the services of one of the moat famous and successful dam engineers in the coun try to study the whole question. This was Caleb M. Ballle. He has built ex perimental dams under the conditions that will obtain in the construction of the big dam Itself. He has dug innum erable bore holes " all over the site, Btudylng each one with exquisite, care and patience. He has used keystone and diamond drills to get material to reveal the different strata, in addition to this he has dug two test pits, going down 100 feet below sea level, and has brought the searchlights of geology and scientif to hydraulics to Illuminate the mysteries below 'the surface. ; L That he has a very superior lot of inrormauon to lay berore tne engineers who have accompanied Mr. Taft, that his Investigations have been of unprece dented thoroughness,', and that- this In formation but amplifies and vindicates that which was gathered before is the confident assertion of those In-a posi tion to know. They are congratulating themselves upon the wisdom of Colonel Ooethals in forefending himself from just such a contingency, and situation as has corns about, and feel that the work of Engineer Saville will finally et at rest , the questions at issue. . . That Bub id-mo Explained. . The Immediate cause of the. : reopen tnrr of the agitation -was the Sinking of some rock; in the up-stream toe of the dam., This toe is intended to serve as a sort of retaining wall for the earth of the dam p toper, and will ptretch completely .across, the Chagres valley, rising, to a height of 60 feet above the surface. ; This rock ' wall is expected to rest on a solid foundation, yet to excavate down to this foundation would cause much expense and delay. So they plied the rock directly.upon the surface, assured that it would sink to a solid foundation of its own accord, displacing the soft material upon which It was deposited. This is just what was expected to happen and what did hap pen: also exactly what the engineers wanted to happen. Yet It was the ba sis of all the disquieting attacks, that nave since been made on the canal. ".-Panama JTrws Sources. ' Without prejudicing1 ; the reopened question as to whether ths sHe of Oatun dam is stable or not. It is but fair to the reader that he should know some thing: of ths sources of news from the isimnus, as.ic tomes irom aay to nay. There are three- papers published there; One is a hoary-headed conservative. The Other two ere so yellow that they make the most lurid sheet In the United States seem a paragon of journallstlo propriety. -To read them from day to day one might imagine that every man on the isthmus was a grafter of the holdup variety, that the negroes in the oanal employ are a half starved lot, that the beef served to the laborers is dragged through the dirt and is fly blown, that every human being on the canal sons has a kick against the canal, and a thousand other evil things. The newspaper man who knows for mer Senator Blackburn of Kuntiu-Vv knows that when he orders a newspaper never to publish anything as coming from him. there la something mora than yellow about Its pages. Yet that is what he was forced to do with one of these journals. Colonel Gotethals bad to take tne same action, it was stated in the press dispatches from the Isthmus that the story of the cave . In and the un derground lake at Gatun had been taken iruiu ono vi uieso papers.. 1 ne same source was accredited with the report that the fatal explosion at Baa Obispo was due to a shortage of powder men and the lack of a competent foreman. The records show that there never were more powder men on the Job and that ths preparation of the blast was In charge of the most competent powder foreman in the canal service. With these facts in mind the average reader will hardly wish to prejudge the Oatun dam question before he hears from the engineers. That Underground X-ake. It Is interesting Ho note some of the investigations of Engineer Saville, and the conclusions he draws therefrom. To begin with he starts out with the view that - Inasmuch as the conditions below ground can be known only by deduc tion, it is highly important that one err, if at all, on the side of conserva tism. The opponents of the dam assert that there is a lake under tne dam site and that there Is a vast underground stream originating many miles further up and flowing to the sea. To the first objection tne studies 01 eaviue snow that when bore holes are sunk close together water will come up In the one and the other will remain dry. He says that it has always been admitted tnat there Is water in the site, but that it la simply artesian water, originating from neighboring hills, and passing through the seams of the rock under the site. He shows how tne now or tne water i immaritittAlv affected br a downpour of water in the vicinity of Oatun. while such a downpour at Homo ana uamooa has no effect on it. He further, points out that the assertion that there is an underground river originating1 from eight to fifteen miles up the Chagres valley Is untenable from the fact that there is nowhere, even as -far up as Gamboa, any elevation that would give water force enough to press its way through the alluvial region from those points to Oatun. with anything like the head- that it shows at the latter point. TTnrthormnrn water conditions are Drac- tically similar at Gamboa and Bohlo to those obtaining at Gatun. showing that BIG CLEARANCE SALE STARTS OFF WITH RUSH LARGE ASSORTMENT OF USED INSTRUMENTS OF MANY MAKES TO BE HAD DURING THIS SALE AT FRACTION OF REAL WORTH. MOST OF THEM CAME TO US AS PART PAY MENT FOR CHICKERING, KIMBALL AND FINE WEBER GRANDS AND PIANOLA PIANOS, AND WE ARE ANXIOUS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY. Magnificent Grands and Uprights Nearly as Good as New Included at Al most Your Own Price All Have Been Tested and Put in Excellent Con dition. Not Necessary to Pay All Cash, Even at These Reduced Prices A Little Down and the Balance at Convenient In tervals Will Secure Any One of Thera Now. Our annual clearance sale, which started yesterday morning, and which Is causing widespread interest, was in augurated for the express purpose of disposing of a large number of slightly used pianos and organs. These instruments have. In most cases, been taken in exchange as .part payment toward the more expensive in struments for which we are exclusive northwestern representatives. A few of them have been out on rent. These instruments have been care fully inspected and tuned and are prac tically as good as new. In order to close them out quickly, prices have been marked lower than ever seen in this or any other olty. But price means nothing unless ths instruments are seen and1 compared. - There are hundreds of families who really need a piano, but have felt here tofore that their means would not per mit the possession of a really good hew one.

TOO. In addition to the pianos offered above, we are including a number of grand pianos which, with a. few excep tions, have been taken in exchange as part payment towards our high-grade f rauds and the genuine Pianola Piano, or which we are exclusive northwest ern representatives. .The names of some of these grands have been familiar household words for years and should be a sufficient guar antee as to their entire reliability. In cluded are sucn well known makes aa Knabe, Geo. Stock, Jacob DolL Lester, Stelnway, Kranicb & Bach, etc These grands usually sell for from $800 to $1160, but are to go during this sale in some instances as low as $396.

After having demonstrated to his own satisfaction that the water In the dam site Is of purely local origin, Mr. 6a vllla, nroceeds to show that such con ditions are not at all unusual in the construction of earth dams.. He men tions many dams where such conditions have - prevailed and says that It ' in volves no new sr unusual construction principles to render local water harm less to a dam site. He says that' the driving of steel sheet piling down to Impervious material under the dam will effectively stop any dangerous seepage, and will make the. dam absolutely safe In this "particular. " Ha sroea Into detail ' as to the ability of the foundation to bear up the weight to be Imposed upon it. He has pre- fiared. maps showing the "strata unaer ylng the site all ths way down -to the argillaceous sandstone, upon - which the welsrht of the dam must rest. - He has prepared as elaborate a lot of tests to snow tne strengtn or this xounaauon as he did in determining the underground water conditions at the site. He makes no qualifications in saying that the ma terials will afford ample strength to support the dam. ? ' . As to the dam itself, he has already built two of them under working con ditions. The material is to be pumped in in suspension. The water , Will then be- allowed to drain off, leaving the earth pumped up a compact and homo geneous mass, which, to borrow the language Of -former Engineer Stevens, "will make It as stable as any mountain nf.aimilur material ever reared by the hand of the Almighty." The dam will- show a weight of 68 pounds for every pound of water pressure brought against it The material will be so impervious to water that it cannot get through three feet of It under a pressure- equiva lent to a head of 126 feet of water, yet at the base there will be a head of only 85 feet, in the deepest portion, while there will be nearly half a mile of the material for It to get through. At the top of the water the dam will be nearly 800 feet through, and the dam will be 60 feet higher than the water is ever Intended to go. - . ...... On the whole. It Is to be said that the doubt about the Oatun dam does not exist In the minds of those engineers who have followed the Saville Investigations.-, The. canal officials say it is perfectly safe, and that they have noth ing to fear from the engineers who have gone to the Isthmus.. They are confl ent that ths- only result will be a further vindication , of what has been done. COMMITTEE KEP0RTS AND SENATE ACTION ' (By Journal Lessed Salem Wire.) Balem. Feb. 2.

Mr. Drlscoll believes that a modern crematory can be built for each side of the river for 1260,000. "I am opposed to ex-Councilman Kellaher's scheme to build a garbage burner down the river and to carry the refuse to the plant on barges," said Mr. Drlscoll. "This plan Is too ex pensive and It might result in a serious nuisance should the transportation of the city's refuse be held up for any reason, for in that event the water front would be piled high with filth. "Without doubt a bond issue is the only way to get the crematories. The nri is too short to handle sucn a large undertaking.
