There in't much traffic on the road, since tho villages it links have little eominereo or common interest, but Panama Is proud of it. Most of the national debt was" incurred in building It.

The city foresees tho dawn of a new prosperity in announcement that Ihe hut link of a through channel from Chicago to New Or leans will be completed by the summer of 1933. Officials of the Mississippi Val ley association predict that com pletion of this link will result in the movement of 200,000. 000 tons yearly of water-borno freight, and a lion's share of this commerce will probably originate in or he destined to this port.
