Isthmian nature is getting the bulge
on the Panama cai.ai. Purists in
speech will please obsorvo that tho ex
pression is not slang. It is a literal
description of the disasters in tho
Gailla-d formerly Culebra cut.
Men speak of slides, and elides there
have bscn and are, and perhaps will
be. But these are not the most seri
ous of the troubles. It is not that earth
nnd rocks from the sides of the cutting
slip down into the bed of the canal
but that the bed of tho canal itself
literally bulges up like a volcanic is
land up from the floor of the sea.
This extraordinary phenomenon is
made possible by the peculiar geolog
ical structure of the isthmus. Thcro is
a fairly stiff and stable crust. But be
neath it is a stratum of unstable ma
terial almost in a state of flux. The
great cutting of the canal at Culebra
severed the surface crust and left the
under stratum free to ooze up under
the pressure of the neighboring hills.
Consequently the floor of the canal
bulges up and the sides bulge in, and
the course through tho channel is
blocked now perhaps for some months
A homely illustration may be made
with a pie. with an upper crust near
the side of tho cutting. The ininca will
instantly bulge or flow forward and
fill up the little trench. This, on a gi
ant scalo is what is happening at Cu
lebra. In a measure, this was unexpected.
When our engineers first took hold of
the canal, eleven years ago, thsy
were troubled with some actual slides;
masses of earth and rock from high
up on the banks became detacl'ed and
slipping down into the cut. Tliat was
because the French had made the sides
of the cut too steep, and thus would
give the soil coherence and strength
in tho rock and aoil formation. The
cure fur it, aa was confidently expect
od was partly in making much flutter
slopes and partly in covering the sides
with vegetation, the denso root masses
of which would form a strong sod and
thus would give the soil coherence
This theory was correct as far as it
went. Mere sloughing off of eafth
and rocks from tho upper parts of the
banks would never have been formid
able, and could have been overcome in
the way suggested.
An entiroly different problem was
recognized,, however, when the bulg-
ing processes began In tho very hot
torn of the cut and at tho base instead
of the rest of tho side. Then it was
fondly imagined hat this was' made
possible by the fact that tho cutting
was empty and hero was nothing but
atmospheric pressure to hold the soil
in place. When wntcr was let in its
weight would bo almost as great,
depth for depth, as the earth which
had been removed, and its pressure
would, it was hoped, assure stability
to the floor and sides. But this Impe
lias not been fulfilled. The .bulging
continues in spite of tho water. In
deed, it is believed that the budging
is worse with tho canal filled than it
would be if tljo'cut were empty and
dry. And the bulging becomes more
and more extensive. Months' ago
there were blockades which could be
dredged away in a few days. Now
there is talk of weeks and of months
of complete suspension of traffic,
with Jiot the slightest assurance that
within 21 hours after the reopening
uf the canal another and still worse
''slide" will not occur.
The problem in really one of tho
most Piiihrassing that the engineers
ii:ive had to doal with in the wlml
course it the ei terpritie It is Ihe
only on' in whic'i they h"ve been con
fronted with an .ntirely u-ikown and
prait'cally unknowable factor. For

to recall the old "Battle of the Levels"
and to dbcern -in themargument3 in-
favor of both sides. Tho advocates
of the present .high level and lock
Byslem may point out that had "the
cut been earned .down a hundred feet
deeper, the bulging process would
have been far more extensive and
troublesome; which is probably true.
On the other hand, advocates of sea-
level may ask what assurance there is
of the permanent stability of he great
dams and locks, if the deep subsoil is
of so unstable a character, in which
question there is a suggestion more
ominous than agreeable. However, it
is cheerful to reflect that the exca
vations which were made for the
foundations of those structures have
been filled not with unstable water
but with solid masonry, far more
stable and even more heavy than the
soil which was removed, and that its
pressure upon the .substrata is there
fore likely to prevent any disturbanc-
es..
What is certain is that the problem
must in some way be solved. After
having constructed tho canal, and
having opened it to pommprpo, we can
not permit even ntituro itself in its
most prcverse and unfriendly mood,
to close it again. General Goethals
has already done a work there whicj
entitles him to worldwide recognition,
which he has received, and to lasting
fame, of which he is assured. It may
be, however, tliat his most arduous
labor is yet to be performed.
In And Out of Coos Co.
C. I. Starr who roturncd from his
Portland trip a tdiort time ago says
that the getting m or out by the ov'-
erlan route ut this t'meof ho year is
quite an adventure. He went out over
the Ho3cburg route leaving Myrtle
Point at nine in tho forenoon and ar
riving at Roseburg at mid night. The
beginning and end of this jour"cy are
t-.ot bad, being made by tuito but the
central part of tho journey ever the
mountains is a ride to be remembered.
Traveling through tho mountains
is by wagon -and is n constant jolt like
riding over, a succesion. of stones and
bouldci-s. A lady who was accompanied
by a dog and a cat and who was up
all of tho previous night nursing the
cat and an elderly male grouch sup
plied the henvy part of the entertain
ment onroute, while a couple of drum
mers supplied the comedy.
Coming back on"the limited train
to Mapleton with stops at every cross
roads gives ono a. chanco to see all
the scenery. Tho remainder of the trip
includes it river journoy by boat a
stay over night in a hotel, tho cros
sing of two rivors, tho Siuslaw and the
Umpqua, three crooks, Ton Milo, Two
Mile and Two Milo,, and a beach jour
ney, tho terrors or pleasures of which
depend upon the weather prevalont at
the time. Tho Umpquais crossed by
;i boat which on the further side is
(iblc to get close to the bank and load
passengers by means of a gang plunk.
On the south side the water is too
fihallow to permit the boat to ap
proach the shore. So the passengers
arc unloaded into a skiff n:'.d thus
transferred to the shore.
A part of tho distance the trip is
made by auto over a road where the
wheels run 'on paralel planks, ne
row of planks on each side. On wet
places boards aro scattered underneath
and the planks uailed to them.
Crossing the creeko the front of the
auto is run onto the back end of a
wagon and chained tight to keep the
machinery from 'getting wet. The trip
over tin creeks is niado witli the front
wheels of the auto on tho wagon and
tho rear .wheels on tho ground. Cros
sing tho crocks it is dangerous to
Ktop. Quo. auto lost .its power in the
crossing of Ten Milo creek. As soon
as it stopped the machine began to
sink nnd before they could make ar
rangements to rescue the car only the
smallest lip of it wrts above water.
Some change has been made recent
ly in the Abstract Companies at Co
quille. J. A. Barton is now associat
ed with A. S. Hammond in the Title &
Trust Co. and is reported to have- pur
chased an interest therein. M. O.
Hawkins of Coquilo hlis taken a posi
tion with tho Title Guarantee nnd
Trust Co. taking the position made va
cant by Mr. Barton. Mr. Hawkins
says that the abstract business gene
rally corresponds with and is regulat
ed by the real estate business has been
light for some time, that in the last
'J or li weeks here-is very noticable in
crease in business, principally along
the lipc of timber lands.
