PROGRESS OF THE PANAMA,

CANAL.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1918.

The purchase of two large dippor dredg- ers by the Isthmian Canal Commission is a tacit admission that the Panama Canal will not be finished by January 1; 1914, as has all along been predicted. It may be open to commerce at that time, but the dredging work, will continue for at least a year more through the con- tinental divide.

Colonel Goethals, upon his return from the United States, found that the slides in Culebra Cut not only had not grown tess as the dry season advanced, but had actually increased. This fact resulted in the ordering of two 15, cubic yard drodgers at a cost of £100,000, although up to that time it had been believed that all the dredging necessary on account of the slides coal hasily be accomplished by the large elevator dredger purchased in England a year ago. The now dredg er, which will not be ready until the beginning of January next, will be devoted for a year at least to digging out the sliding banks of the canal through the continental divide in the Culebra Cut. Already the amount of material

excavated from these slides amounts to 20,000,000 cubic yards, about one-tenth of the total excavation of the canal, and before the moving hillsides rench their slope of repuse it is probable that half as much again will be added to the total excavation due to this cause.

Yet the plans for opening the canal in the autumn of this year have not been abandoned. On the contrary, all the Jeck building is being hurried on to that end. It is probable that the last of the lock work will be completed by October, 1, when the lower gates at Miraflores will be ready for use. Meanwhile the water! in Gatin Lake, already at 50ft. above sea level, will be raised gradually to 65ft. from the beginning of the rainy season in May. Then the great dyke that separates the lake from Culchra Cut, where steam shovels are now at work, will be dug out and the water will be allowed to flood this last section of the canal The lake surface can then he raised rapidly to its normal level of 85ft. phove mean tide, and ships may pass through. With only Oaft. of water in the lake, the least depth of water in the canal will be git., and the largest vessels now in the Panama trade could pass through at this depth.

ONE-HOUR LUNCHEONS.

At first London hotel managers stood aghast at the idea of supplying London business men with luncheon in half an hour, the time allotted for the meal, but the Royal Colonial Institute has proved that it can be done, and the following was the menu at the last huncheon:-

At no time has it been-thought that the construction of terminal quays and piers and of the fortifications would be finished by January 1, 1914, the prediction with regard to the use of the canal at that time referring only to the possibility of pass ing commercial vessels through from ocean to ocean, should it be decided to open the waterway to commerce before all the work is completed.

FATE OF A SINGER AND. Its

ONLY FRIEND.

The idea comes from Canada, where Fone-hour luncheons are very popular. Every town in the Dominion, and almost every village has its branch of the Canadan Club, whose object is to foster patriotism and incidentally to entertain at luncheon every person of note who happens to be passing through." No caterer is employed, but a room is en- gaged and all the other arrangements are left the ladies of the town, banded bugetier as Daughters of Empire."
