Gentlemen In 1897 I had a disease of the stomach and bowels. spring of 1902 I bought a Kodol and the benefit I received all Frederick J. Haskln writes the fol lowing entertaining letter concerning the Panama canal for the Oregon Daily Journal. He has visited Pana ma and personally Inspected the ca nal and writes as follows: iThe Isthmian canal project natur ally divides Itself into two parts. At the two ends they are simply digging big ditches 45 feet deep and 500 feet wide, which will have the same sur face level as the ocean itself. On the Atlantic side this big ditch starts at deep water In Llmon bay and extends inland seven miles to Gatun. On the Pacific side it starts at deep water and extends to Mlra flores, a distance of five miles. From this it will be seen that ap proximately one-fourth of the whole canal will be a big sea level ditch. For the remaining 38 miles of the canal It Is necessary to have the sur face of the water 85 feet higher than that of fie sea level ends of the canal In oru. r tn get ships safely across the big continental divide nt Culebra To get this the engineers have plan ned a grr.it dam at Gatun, on the Atlantic side, and two relatively small er ones at the Pacific side, one at Pedro Miguel, called by the Ameri cans "Peter Mcum, and tne otner at Mirafiores. These dams will make a vast !:i!u shnped something like a gourd, v. th the little end at ' Perdo Miguel, the handle being the Cule bra cut. The topography of the isthmus lends itself admirably to the plans of the engineers. The Chagres river flows more than half way across the isthmus, along the general line of the canal, crossing the line of the big ditch 23 times on its way to the sea, without the canal ever going out ol its way to meet the river. All of these crossings will of course be elim inated when the dam is completed, and with all of its windings, the Chagres will not be able to wind out of the big Gatun lake. Site of tlie Dam. The Charges flows down through a valley which gradually widens as It nears the sea. At -Gatnu this valley is about a mile wide. It terminates entirely here, and the hills which form it lose themselves In a castal plain. It Is across the valley at this point that they are building the Gat nu dam and Its accompanying locks, This dam will be a veritable moun tain of mud more than a mile long In the ana a naif mile wide at the base.

I the passage of the grim old Chargers, taking from its murky waters such toll as Uncle Snm and the commerce of the world may exact. This toll will be big enough to fill the largest artificial ake in the world a lake whose water surface area will be about 16a square miles. After the .Chagres and its smaller, neighbors have filled the lake to the required height the dam will allow the rest of the water to pass through Its spillway and on to the sea, with out further interruption, the only de mand being that it shall not approach the line of the canal again. In other words, its vagrant waters will be sen tenced to the canal workhouse and when that Is filled to overflowing, they will be Invited to "leave town" at once by the spillway route.
