REMOTE STORAGE 



You Can Speak to a Million 
People Every Evening 

At the first glance this statement appears so startling that one 
might take it for a bit of exaggeration. But it is not; it is literally 
true. Here is the proof: The Chicago Daily News sold during the 
first eleven months of 1906 a daily average of 318,611 papers. Many 
newspapers estimate that an average of five people read each copy of 
a newspaper, but, to be conservative, let it be assumed that the number 
of people who daily read these 318,611 papers averages three and 
one-half. This would place the number of Daily "News readers at 
1,115,139 manifestly a fair figure.

There aie about 500 branch offices of The Daily News in Chicago 
and its surrounding suburbs for the convenience of "want" adver- 
tisers. But Daily News "want ads" are also used regularly or tran- 
siently by many people throughout the United States and in foreign 
countries. Ordinarily "want ads" from distant cities will receive 
good service if sent by mail, but for quick action in an emergency 
they should be sent by telegraph or cable If you do not wish to use 
your own name and address in your advertisement, you can have all 
replies sent to a box number (which the paper will supply) in care of 
The Daily News and, on your request, such replies will be forwarded 
to you promptly by mail or express. 

You will be surprised to learn how thoroughly these little ads 
are read by the million daily readers of The Daily News. And they 
don't cost much. 



[TWENTY-THIRD YEAR] 



THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS 




AND YEAR-BOOK 



FOR 



1907 



COMPILED BY JAMES LANGLAND. M. A. 



[Copyright, 1'JOG, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] 



PREFACE. 



Many things occurred in 1906 concerning which questions will 
be frequently asked in the future. Among the events of world-wide 
or national importance these may be mentioned: The failure of 
the first national assembly in Russia, the Morocco conference at 
Algeciras, the passage of a bill by the British house of commons 
changing the school system of the country, the temporary downfall 
of the Cuban republic, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the earth- 
quakes and fires in San Francisco, Cal., and Valparaiso, Chile; the 
passing of the railroad rate, meat inspection, pure food and other 
notable laws by the American congress, the admission into the 
union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state, the legal 
proceedings by the government against the beef, oil and other trusts, 
and the election of a new congress. It would be easy to extend the 
list, as a glance at the index to this volume will show, but nothing 
more is needed to prove that the history of the year was of excep- 
tional interest and that a book giving data relating to it should be 
of value to those who do not have the time or facilities to search 
through newspaper files, magazines and other periodicals for the 
information they desire. While much space has necessarily been 
devoted to historical matters the regular chronological, statistical, 
political and other features of The Daily News Almanac and Year- 
Book, whether relating to national, state or local affairs, have been 
given careful attention. With the end in view of making the 
facts and figures presented not only comprehensive but reliable and 
up to date, they have as usual been obtained as far as possible from 
official and original sources.

ECLIPSES OF THE MOON JAN. 29 AND JULY 24-25, 1907. 



See page 3 for list 

The central standard time of the visible 
phases of the eclipse of the moon Jan. 29 
and all of the phases of the eclipse' of the 
moon July 24-25, 1907, and a figure showing 
the course of the moon through the earth's 
shadow, are herewith given. 

Eclipse of Jan. 29: Moon enters penumbra 
at a at 4:4G a. m. ; moon enters umbra at b 



of eclipses in 1907. 

Eclipse of July 24-25: Moon enters penum- 
bra at a at 7:59 p. m., July 24; moon enters 
umbra at b at 9:04 p. m. ; middle of eclipse 
(c) 10:22 p. m. ; moon leaves umbra at d at 
11:41 p. m. ; moon leaves penumbra at e at 
0:46 a. m. July 25. 

This eclipse will be upon the northern 
limb of the moon, as shown in the figure, 




ZCLTPJE. OF 
JULY 3V- -25 



at 6:06 a. m. ; middle of eclipse (c), 7:38 a. 
m. The remainder of this eclipse takes 
place after the rising of the sun and the 
setting of the moon and will therefore be 
invisible. The size of the eclipse is 8.5 
digits, the moon's apparent diameter being 
taken as 12 digits. 



the moon passing through the southern por- 
tion of the earth's shadow, eclipsing 7.4 of 
her 12 digits of apparent diameter. The 
diminution of light while the moon is in the 
penumbra or light shadow will be slight, the 
real eclipse beginning as the moon enters 
the dark shadow. 



TRANSIT OF MERCURY. 



A transit of the planet Mercury over the 
sun's disk will occur Nov. 14. The sun will 
rise with Mercury well advanced on the 
Journey across his face. Look for a black 
spot well to the north of the sun's center. 



He will pass off at the eastern limb of the 
sun at 8 a. m. 

Caution Use smoked or colored glass in 
observing; otherwise serious damage to the 
eyes Is probable. 



UNITED STATES LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.

coasts of the great lakes, 16 on the Pacific 
coast and 1 on the Ohio river at Louisville. 
Ky. The crews numbered in all about 300 
men. Statistics of the service for the year 
ended June 30, 1905, and from Nov. 1, 1871.

STATE NICKNAMES AND STATE FLOWERS. 



MARS NEAREST TEE EARTH. 




The planet Mars will attract the attention 
of the world in 1907 because of the fact that 
he will approach nearer to us than he has 
been within the last' fifteen years or will be 
again in the following fifteen years. The 
reason for this will be understood by an in- 
spection of the annexed figure. When the 
points C (aphelion) in the earth's orbit and 
A (perihelion) in Mars' orbit come in line 
with the sun, then the earth and Mars will 
be the nearest possible. A moderately close 



approach to these conditions occurs every 
fifteen years. In 1907, on July 12, these plan- 
ets will occupy the positions in their re- 
spective orbits E and F. On July 5 the 
earth will be at C or farthest from the sun, 
and on Sept. 26 Mars will be at A, or near- 
est to the sun. It is apparent that there 
must be a point between A and C where 
these bodies are in line with the sun and 
where they will be nearest, and as has been 
said this occurs at E and F.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1907. 



STANDARD AND LOCAL MEAN TIME. 



In 1883 the United States and Canada 
agreed to adopt, chiefly for the convenience 
of the railroads, a standard of time. For 
this purpose the country was divided into 
four sections or zones, each fifteen degrees 
of longtitude in width, equivalent to one 
hour. These sections were designated as 
the eastern, central, mountain and Pacific. 
The eastern is based on the 75th, the cen- 
tral on the 90th, the mountain on the 105th 
and the Pacific on the 120th meridian. All 
places within seven and one-half degrees 
of longitude on each side of these meridians 
have the same standard time, but only 
those on the meridians themselves have the 
same standard and local mean or solar time. 
The local mean time of other places varies 
according to the distance east or west of 
the meridians. East it is later, west earlier. 
Chicago, for instance, is in west longtitude 
87 degrees 38 minutes, or 2 degrees and 22 
minutes east of the 90th meridian. Each 
degree of latitude being equal to 4 minutes 
of time, the city's local mean time is con- 
sequently about 9 minutes earlier than 
standard time. In other words, when it is 
12 o'clock noon in Chicago by standard time 
it is 11:51 a. m. by local mean or solar time. 
The difference between the standard and 
local time of the principal cities of the 
United States is shown in the following 
table:

DIFFERENCE IN TIME. 



By noting the variation in time between 
the cities representing the eastern, central, 
mountain and Pacific divisions in the United 
States and those in Alaska, Hawaii, Porto 
Rico and the Philippines and in foreign 
countries the variation in time between all 
the other cities in the United States and the 
iplaces named may be easily calculated. 
The time in all cases except where other- 
wise specified is local or actual time. 

When It Is 12 o'clocfe noon on Monday, 
eastern time, in New York, the correspond- 
ing time in the cities named below is: 

Chicago (central time).. 11:00 a. m., Monday

WEATHER FORECASTS AND SIGNALS. 



The weather bureau of the United States 
department of agriculture publishes dally 
more than 100,000 weather bulletins, not 
counting the forecasts In the newspapers. 
Most of these bulletins are In the form 
of postal cards printed by postmasters 
from telegraphic reports and sent by them 
to outlying towns for display at suitable 
points. There Is also an elaborate system of 



redistribution by means of telephones and 
railroads from established centers, so that 
there are comparatively few accessible 
places which do not now receive dally 
weather forecasts within a very short time 
after the observers have completed their 
work. The old system of conveying informa- 
tion about the weather by means of Hag 
displays Is also in general use.

lar flag. 



square in center. 






Clear or Kain or snow. Local rain or Temperature. Cold wave, 

fair weather. snow. 

When No. 4 is placed above No. 1, 2 or 3 it Indicates warmer; when below, colder; 
when not displayed, the temperature is expected to remain about stationary. During the late 
spring and early fall the cold-wave flag is also used to Indicate anticipated frosts. 

EXPLANATION OF STORM-WARNING FLAGS. 






Northwest winds. Southwest winds. Northeast winds. Southeast winds. "Hurricane 1 ' signal. 

A red flag with a black center indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The 
pennants displayed with the flags indicate the direction of the wind: Red, easterly (from 
northeast to south); white, westerly (from southwest to north). The pennant above the flag 
indicates that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from south- 
erly quadrants. 

By night a red light indicates easterly winds and a white light above a red light westerly 
winds. 

Two red flags, with black centers, displayed one above the other, indicate the expected 
approach of tropical hurricanes, and also ot those extremely severe antl dangerous storms 
which occasionally move across the lakes and northern Atlantic coast. Hurricane warnings 
are not displayed at night. 

THERMOMETERS COMPARED. 



There are three kinds of thermometers, 
with varying scales, in general use through- 
out the world the Fahrenheit, Reaumur and 
centigrade. The freezing and boiling points 
on their scales compare as follows: 

Therm/iinetcr Freezingpt. ]t<iilinti-r>t 

Fahrenheit 32 degrees 212 degrees 

Reaumur zero 80 degrees 

Centigrade zero 100 degrees 

The degrees on one scale are reduced to 
their equivalents on another by these formu- 
las: 



Fahrenheit to Reaumur Subtract 32, mul- 
tiply by four-ninths. . 

Fahrenheit to Centigrade Subtract 32, 
multiply by five-ninths. 

Reaumur to Fahrenheit Multiply by nine- 
fourths, add 32. 

Reaumur to Centigrade Multiply by five- 
fourths. 

Centigrade to Fahrenheit Multiply by 
nine-fifths, add 32. 

Centigrade to Reaumur Multiply by four- 
fifths.

tom and observance and not because of 
congressional legislation. Congress has 
passed no laws establishing holidays for the 
whole country. It has made Labor day a 
holiday in the District of Columbia, but 
the law is of no effect elsewhere.

Officers Three commissioners are appoint- 
ed by the president to assist him in classify- 
ing the government offices and positions, 
formulating rules and enforcing the law. 
Their office is in Washington, D. C. The 
chief examiner is appointed by the commis- 
sioners to secure accuracy, uniformity and 
justice in the proceedings of the examining 
boards. The secretary to the commission is 
appointed by the president. 

General Rules The fundamental rules 
governing appointments to government posi- 
tions are tound in the civil-service act it- 
self. Based upon these are many other reg- 
ulations formulated by the commission and 
promulgated by the president from time to 
time as new contingencies arise. The pres- 
ent rules were approved March 20, 1903, and 
went into effect April 15, 1903. In a gen- 
eral way they require that there must be 
free, open examinations of applicants for 
positions in the public service; that ap-

ments to the service in Washington shall be

tories according to population; that there

that reason obliged to contribute to any po- 
litical fund or is subject to dismissal for 
refusing to so contribute; that no person in 
the public service has any right to use his 



political action of any person. Applicants 
for positions shall not be questioned as to 
their political or religious beliefs and no 
discrimination shall be exercised against or 
in favor of any applicant or employe on ac- 
count of his religion or politics. The classi- 
fied civil service shall include all officers 
and employes in the executive civil service 
of the United States except laborers and 
persons whose appointments are subject to 



confirmation by the senate. 
Examinations These are 



conducted by 



boards of examiners chosen from among 
persons in government employ and are held 
twice a year in all the states and territories 
at convenient places. In Illinois, for ex- 
ample, they are usually held at Cairo, Chi- 
cago and Peoria. The dates are announced 
through the newspapers or by other means. 
They can always be learned by applying to 



flce or custom house. Those who desire to 
take examination are advised to write to 
the commission in Washington for the 
"Manual of Examinations," which is sent 
free to all applicants. It Is revised semi- 
annually to Jan. 1 and July 1. The January 
edition contains a schedule of the spring

test the relative capacity and fitness to 
discharge the duties to be performed. It is 
necessary to obtain an average percentage 
of 70 to be eligible for appointment, except 
that applicants entitled to preference be- 
cause of honorable discharge from the mili- 
tary or naval service for disability result- 
ing from wounds or sickness incurred in the

sion for a certification of names to fill the 
vacancy, specifying the kind of position va- 
cant, the sex desired and the salary. The 
commission thereupon takes from the proper

ficer, who is required to make the selection. 
He may choose any one of the three names,

pointee is continued on the roll ; -of the de- 
partment in which he serves the appoint- 
ment is considered absolute.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF KING ALFONSO. 



Immediately after the marriage of King 
Alfonso of Spain to Princess Ena of Batten- 
berg in Madrid, May 31, 1906, as the royal 
couple were driving back from the church to 
the palace, a bomb concealed in a bouquet 
was thrown from the third story of a house 
in the Calle Mayer. The missile was slight- 
ly deflected by an electric wire, but it fell 
near the carriage occupied by the king and 
queen and exploded, killing twenty-seven 
persons and wounding nearly 100 more. The 
royal pair escaped all injury, though their 
coach was damaged and the horses attached 
to it were killed. Among the persons slain 
were the marquise of Tolosa. her uaughtor, 



cousin and niece, four officers of the escort. 
the king's groom, several soldiers and a 
number of citizens. The wounded included 
the king's equerry (the duke of Satomayer) 
and Gen. Weyler. 

It was soon learned that the room from 
which the bomb was thrown had been rent- 
ed for the occasion by a man named Manuel 
Morales. Sunday evening. June 3. he was 
arrested in a suburb of Madrid as he was 
about to take a train for Barcelona, his 
home, but he shot and killed his captor and 
then committed suicide. Morales was an 
avowed anarchist.

In five states in 1892 the electoral vote was divided: California gave 8 electoral votes for 
Cleveland and 1 for Harrison and Ohio gave 1 for Cleveland and22-for Harrison: in Michigan, 
by act of the legislature, each congressional district voted separately for an elector: in Oregon 
1 of the 4 candidates for electors on the people's party ticket was also on the democratic ticket; 
in North Dakota 1 of the 2 people's party electors cast his vote for Cleveland, this causing the 
electoral vote of the state to be equally divided among Cleveland. Harrison and Weaver. 
In 1896 California gave 8 electoral votes to McKinley and 1 to Bryan; Kentucky gave 12 to 
McKinley and 1 to Bryan. In Maryland in 1904 seven of the presidential electors chosen were 
democrats and one republican.

NATIONAL PLATFORMS OF 1904. 



Following are summaries of the principal 
features of the national party platforms 
adopted in 1904. The full texts will be 
found in The Daily News Almanac and 
Year-Book for 1905, beginning on page 126. 

REPUBLICAN. The platform advocates the 
principle of protection and reciprocity, the 
maintenance of the gold standard, the en- 
couragement of the merchant marine, the 
upbuilding of the navy, the exclusion of 
Chinese labor, honest enforcement of the 
civil-service law, liberal administration of 
the pension laws, arbitration, the protection 
of American citizens abroad, the reduction 
of representation in congress and the elect- 
oral college of states in which the elective 
franchise is unconstitutionally limited, and 
the control of combinations of capital and 
labor. The declaration in regard to pro- 
tection Is: "We insist upon the mainte- 
nance of the principles of protection and 
therefore rates of duty should be readjusted 
only when conditions have so changed that 
the public interest demands their altera- 
tion. But this work cannot be safely com- 
mitted to any other hands than those of 
the republican party." 

DEMOCRATIC. The enactment of laws giv- 
ing labor and capital impartially their just 
rights, trial by jury for indirect contempt, 
liberal appropriations for the improvement 
of waterways, reductions in the expendi- 
tures of the government, honesty in the 
public service and the preservation of the 
"open door" for commerce in the orient are 
favored. The platform declares against im- 
perialism and the retention of the Philip- 
pines, denounces protection as a robbery of 
the many for the enrichment of the few, 
and favors the revision and general reduc- 
tion of the tariff by the friends of the 
masses and for the common weal and not 
by the friends of its abuses. Trusts and 
combinations are denounced as a menace to 
beneficial competition and rebates and dis- 
criminations by transportation companies 
are declared to be the most potent agency 
in promoting and strengthening unlawful 
conspiracies against trade. Demands of 
the platform include: Election of United 
States senators by a direct vote of the peo- 
ple; the admission to statehood of Okla- 
homa. Indian Territory, Arizona and New 
Mexico; the extermination of polygamy; the 
defeat of the ship-subsidy bill; the main- 
tenance of the Monroe doctrine; the reduc- 
tion of the army and army expenditures; 
the enforcement of the civil-service laws, 
and the defeat of the attempt to revive 
race prejudices. 



SOCIALIST. The platform pledges the par- 
ty to work and vote for shortened days of 
labor and increased wages; for the insur- 
ance of workers against sickness, accident 
and lack of employment; for pensions for 
aged and exhausted workers; for public 
ownership of the means of transportation, 
communication and exchange; for the grad- 
uated taxation of incomes, inheritances and 
of franchise and land values; for equal suf- 
frage of men and women; for the preven- 
tion of the use of military against labor 
In the settlement of strikes; for the free 
administration of justice; for the initiative, 
refeiendum and proportional representation, 
and for the recall of officers by their con- 
stituents. These things, it is declared, are 
but a preparation of the workers to seize 
the whole powers of government in order 
that they may thereby lay hold of the whole 
system of industry and thus coine into their 
rightful inheritance. 

PROHIBITIONIST. The platform pledges 
the party, whenever given the power by the 
suffrage of the people, to the enactment 
and enforcement of laws prohibiting and 
abolishing the manufacture, importation, 
transportation and sale of alcoholic bever- 
ages and favors a rigid application of the 
principles of justice to all combinations of 
capital and labor. International arbitration, 
reform of divorce laws, the final extirpa- 
tion of polygamy and the overthrow of 
the system of illegal sanction of the social 
evil. 

POPULIST. It Is demanded that all money 
shall be issued by the government in such 
quantities as shall maintain a stability in 
prices, every dollar to be a full legal ten- 
der; that postal banks be established; that 
the right of labor to organize shall not be 
Interfered with; that laws be passed to 
abolish child labor and suppress convict 
labor and sweatshops, and that the govern- 
ment shall own the railroads and telegraph 
and telephone systems. The eight-hour day 
is favored and legal provision under which 
the people may exercise the Initiative, ref- 
erendum and proportional representation 
and direct vote for all public officers with 
right to recall are urged. 

SOCIALIST-LABOR. The platform urges 
that a summary end be put to the existing 
class conflict by placing the land and all 
the means of production, transportation and 
distribution into the bands of the people 
as a collective body and substituting the co- 
operative commonwealth for the present 
planless production, industrial war and so- 
cial disorder. 



BATTLE WITH MOROS NEAR JOLO P. I. 



More than 800 hostile Moros were killed 
in a battle with United States troops March 
6, 7 and 8, 1906. on Mount Dajo, an extinct 
volcano, four miles south of Jolo. P. I. 
The American losses were eighteen men 
killed and fifty-sMx wounded. The attack- 
ing troops were commanded by Col. Joseph 
W. Duncan of the 6th infantry and the bat- 
tle was witnessed by Maj.-Gen. Leonard 
Wood and Brig.-Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. The 
fighting took place on a steep lava cone 
2.100 feet high, which had been strongly 
fortified by bands of unfriendly Moros who 



had been giving the military authorities 
much trouble. The natives fought with fa- 
natical bravery and exposed themselves to 
certain death in preference to being taken 
alive. They used rifles, spears, barongs and 
knives and hurled rocks and limbs of trees 
upon the soldiers who had to climb up the 
last few hundred feet by taking hold of 
vines and projections of rocks. The Amer- 
ican troops, which included a naval detach- 
ment, were credited with great gallantry 
and with many individual feats of daring.

Exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii. 

Area of Porto Rico is approximately 3,600 and of the Philippine islands 114,000 square miles 
(land and water. 832,968). 

NOTE The areas as given above were computed under the direction of Henry Gannett, 
geographer of the United States geological survey, for the census office. In some cases the 
figures vary from those given by the general land office, but they are believed to be as nearly 
correct as possible. In the case of states bordering on the great lakes the water surface of 
the latter has been included in the computation of areas by the land office and excluded by 
Mr. Gannett. This will account in large measure for the apparent discrepancies.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE. 



The famous "Monroe doctrine" was enun- 
ciated by President Monroe in his message 
to congress Dec. 2, 1823. Referring to steps 
taken to arrange the respective rights of 
Russia, Great Britain and- the United 
States on the northwest coast of this conti- 
nent, the president went on to say: 

"In the discussions to which this Interest 
has given rise, and In the arrangements by 
which they may terminate, the occasion has 
been deemed 'proper for asserting, as a 
principle in which the rights and Interests 
of the United States are Involved, that the 
American continents, by the free and in- 
dependent condition which they have as- 
sumed and maintain, are henceforth not to 
be considered as subjects for future colo- 
nization by any European power. * * * 
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the 



amicable relations existing between the 
United States and those powers to declare 
that we should consider any attempt on 
their part to extend their system to any 
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to 
our peace and safety. With the existing 
colonies or dependencies of any European 
power we have not interfered and shall not 
interfere. But with the governments who 
have declared their independence and main- 
tain it, and whose independence we have, 
on great consideration and on just princi- 
ples, acknowledged, we could not view any 
interposition for the purpose of oppressing 
them or controlling in any other manner 
their destiny by any European power in any 
other light than as the manifestation of ah 
unfriendly disposition toward the United 
States." 



THE DRAGO DOCTRINE. 



When in the winter of 1902-03 Germany. 
Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of 
Venezuela in attempt to make the latter 
country settle up its debts. Dr. L. F. Drngo. 
a noted jurist of Argentina, maintained that 
force cannot be used by one power to col- 
lect money owing to its citizens by another. 



power. Prominence was given to the con- 
tention by the fact tha-t it was officially up- 
held by Argentina and favored by other 
Smith American republics. The principle 
embodied has become generally known as the 
"Drago doctrine."

MOROCCO CONFEREE 

By an agreement reached Sept. 28, 1905, 
France and Germany arranged to submit to 
an international conference the matters in 
dispute between them with relation to Mo- 
rocco. France, in 1904, "signed a treaty with 
Great Britain by the terms of which the 
former was given a free hand in Morocco in 
return for concessions to the British in 
Egypt. Germany objected on the ground 
that her commercial interests were threat- 
ened and demanded certain reforms in the 
finances and policing of Morocco. France re- 
sented the interference and for a time war 
seemed imminent. 
Under the presidency of the duke of Almo- 
dovar the conference began its sessions at 
Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 16, 1906. All the 
great powers, including the United States, 
were represented, the American delegates 
being Henry White, ambassador to Italy, 
and S. R. Gummere, minister to Morocco. 
The other leading delegates were: France, 
M. Paul Revoll; Germany, Herr von Rado- 
witz; Great Britain, Sir Arthur Nicolson; 
Italy, Marquis Viscontt Venosta; Morocco, 
Mohammed el Torres; Austria, Herr Kaze- 
brodski. The subjects laid before them were 
these: The organization and control of the 
Moroccan police, the exclusion of contraband 
arms, the creation of a state bank to facili- 
tate financial reforms, the best means of 
collecting revenues, the creation of new 


FCE AT ALGECIRAS. 

sources of income and the safeguarding of 
the economic liberty of the country. 
From the start the delegates found the 
work of reconciling the conflicting views of 
France and Germany difficult and slow. On 
several occasions it appeared as though the 
conference would be fruitless, especially be- 
cause of the divergent views on the question 
of policing the ports of Morocco, but an 
agreement was finally reached and a con- 
vention signed April 7, on which date the 
meeting ended. The final article regarding 
the distribution of police at the ports was 
adopted from the Russian draft, though the 
Austrian and American delegates had con- 
siderable to do with making it acceptable. 
By it France was given the policing of 
the ports of Mogador. Safn, Mazagan and 
Rabat; Spain was asked to police Tetuan 
and Larache, and France and Spain were as- 
signed the task of jointly policing Tangier 
and Casablanca. The police -force was to 
consist of 2,500 natives with Caldsas as com- 
manders, French and Spanish as instructors 
and a Swiss as inspector-general. The dura- 
tion of the police agreement was fixed at 
three years. In the settlement of the bank 
question France was given three shares and 
other nations one each. It was arranged 
that four bank supervisors were to be ap- 
pointed by the Bank of England, the Bank 
of France, the Imperial Bank of Germany 
and the Bank of Spain.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW. 



Any person who Is the hea4 of a family, or 
who is 21 years old and is a citizen of the 
United States or has tiled his declaration of 
intention to become such, and who is not 
the proprietor of more than 160 acres of land 
in any state or territory, is entitled to en- 
ter one-quarter section (160 acres) or less 
quantity of unappropriated public land un- 
der the homestead laws. The applicant must 
make affidavit that he Is entitled to the 
privileges of the homestead act and that 
the entry is made for his exclusive use and 
for actual settlement and cultivation, and 
must pay the legal fee and that part of the 
commissions required, as follows: Fee for 
160 acres. $10; commission. $4 to $12. Fee for 
eighty acres, $5; commission, $2 to $6. 
Within six months from the date of en- 
try the settler must take up his residence 
upon the land and cultivate the same for 



five years continuously. At the expiration 
of this period, or within two years there- 
after, proof of residence and cultivation 
must be established by four witnesses. The 
proof of settlement, with the certincate of 
the register of the land office, is forwarded 
to the general land office at Washington, 
from which a patent is issued. Final proof 
cannot be made until the expiration of five 
years from date of entry, and must be made 
within seven years. The government recog- 
nizes no sale of a homestead claim. After 
the expiration of fourteen months from date 
of entry the law allows the homesteader to 
secure title to the tract, if so desired, by 
paying for it in cash and making proof of 
settlement, residence and cultivation for 
that period. 

The law allows only one homestead privi- 
lege to any one person.

Cp to Jan. 1, 1906, the school savings 
bank system was in operation in 1,023 
schools of 122 cities of twenty-five states of 
America. The total deposits in these banks 
since they were started amounted to $4,- 
864,575.98. of which $3,641.015.66 had been 
withdrawn, leaving a balance of $1,223,- 
560.32 due the little depositors. 

The school savings-bank system was in- 
troduced by J. H. Thiry in the schools of 
Long Island City (now part of New York), 
N. Y., March 16, 1885, and it is largely 
through his efforts that it has been adopted 



in so many places in the United States and 
Cauad*. The purpose of the system is, of 
course, to encourage thrift, prudence and 
business methods among children at an age 
when their life habits are in process of 
formation. It has been found to produce 
excellent results in this direction and in 
many instances parents have profited by 
the example yet by their children. The 
following figures are taken from a table of 
statistics furnished by Mr. Thiry. They 
include only places in which the number o'f 
depositors is 1,000 or more:

by its founder: 

"It is proposed to found itr the city of 
Washington an institution which, with the 
co-operation of institutions now or here- 
after established, there or elsewhere, shall 
in the broadest and most liberal manner 
encourage investigation, research and dis- 
covery show the application of knowledge 
to the improvement or mankind, provide 
such buildings, laboratories, books and ap- 
paratus as may be needed, and afford in- 
struction of an advanced character to stu- 
dents properly qualified to profit thereby." 

The following list shows the departments 
of investigations to which the larger grants 
have been assigned and the amounts of 
those grants in 1905:

WRECK OF THE STEAMSHIP VALENCIA. 



The steamship Valencia of the Pacific. 
Coast Steamship company's line ran ashore 
on the west coast of Vancouver island early 
on the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 23, 1906, 
and was pounded to pieces on the Point 
Klanaway rocks. Of the 154 passengers 
aboard only thirty-five succeeded in making 
their escape. Attempts at rescue were made, 
but stormy weather and heavy seas prevent- 



ed approach to the wreck and all who re- 
mained on the steamer died from exposure 
or were drowned by being swept overboard 
by the waves. The Valencia was bound 
from San Francisco for Puget sound points. 
Heavy fogs prevailed and the ship was 
steered by dead reckoning. She was far out 
of her course when she ran on the rocks.

GREAT MINE DISASTER IN FRANCE. 


At 7 o'clock on the morning of Saturday, 
March 10, 1906, an explosion of gas occurred 
in a coal mine at Courriere, near Calais. 
France, just after 1,800 men had descended 
the shaft to go to work. Many of them 
were instantly killed and others die;i from 
wounds or were suffocated. Heroic efforts 
at rescue were made and a number of men 


lost their lives while attempting to brine; 
the few survivors to the surface. The total 
number of victims, according to the best in- 
formation obtainable, was 1.060. Hundreds 
of families were made destitute and there 
was great suffering, though the government 
voted $100,000 for relief and as much more 
was raised by popular subscription.

THE GAYNOR-GREENE CASE. 



John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene, 
contractors, were indicted Dec. 28, 1899, for 
conspiracy to defraud the United States out 
of $575,749 in connection with harbor work 
at Savannah, Ga. When indicted they were 
in New York and fought extradition to Geor- 
gia, bv-t in 1901 they were compelled to re- 
turn there. They were placed under bonds 
of $40,000, which they forfeited. Taking 



refuge in Canada, they resisted extradition 
by all legal means possible and it was not 
until the latter part of 1905 that they were 
brought back to Savannah. The trial began 
in January, 1906, acd resulted April 12 in a 
verdict of guilty. They were sentenced to 
pay a fine of $575,749 and to four years' im- 
prisonment.

RAILROAD-RATE LAW. 

The "railroad-rate law" amends the inter- 
state-commerce law of 1887 and enlarges 
the powers of the interstate-commerce com- 
mission. The act is made to apply to any 
corporation, person or persons engaged in 
the transportation of oil or other commod- 
ity, except water and gas, by pipe lines, 
railroads or ships, who shall be considered 
to be common carriers, and to any common 



carrier or carriers engaged in interstate 
commerce, whether transporting passengers 
or freight. The term "common carrier," as 
used in the act, includes express companies 
and sleeping-car companies. It is the duty 
of every carrier subject to the provisions 
of the act to furnish transportation upon 
reasonable request therefor, and to estab- 
lish through routes and just and reasonable 
rates applicable thereto. 

All charges made for any service rendered 
or to be rendered in the transportation of 
passengers or property, or in- connection 
therewith, shall be just and reasonable; 
and every unjust and unreasonable charge 
for any such service or any part thereof is 
prohibited and declared to be unlawful. 

RESTRICTION AS TO PASSES. 

No common carrier subject to the pro- 
visious of this act shall, after Jan. 1, 1907, 
directly or indirectly, issue or give any 
interstate free ticket, free pass, or free 
transportation for passengers, except to its 
employes and their families, its officers, 
agents, surgeons, physicians and attorneys; 
to ministers of religion, traveling secreta- 
ries of Young Men's Christian associations, 
and persons engaged exclusively in charita- 
ble and eleemosynary work; to indigent, 
destitute and homeless persons; to inmates 
of soldiers' and sailors' homes; to necessary 
caretakers of live stock, poultry and fruit; 
to employes on sleeping cars and express 
cars, and to linemen of telegraph and tele- 
phone companies; to newsboys on trains, 
baggage agents, railway mail service em- 
ployes, postoffice, customs and immigration 
inspectors; to witnesses in which the com- 
mon carrier Is interested, persons injured- in 
wrecks and physicians and nurses attending 
such persons. Passengers may be carried 
free with the object of providing relief In 
cases of general epidemic or other calami- 
tous visitation. Any common carrier who 
violates this provision, or any person ac- 
cepting a free pass, unless in the excepted 
classes, is liable to a fine of not less than 
$100 or more than $2,000. 

OTHER BUSINESS PROHIBITED. 

From and after May 1, 1908, it shall be 
unlawful for any railroad company to trans- 
port from one state to another any article 
or commodity, other than timber and the 
manufactured products thereof, manufac- 
tured, mined or produced by it. or under 
its authority, or which it may own in whole 
or In part, or in which it may have any 
interest, direct or indirect, except such ar- 
ticles or commodities as may be necessary 
and intended for its use in the conduct of 
Its business as a common carrier. 

Any common carrier upon the application 
of any lateral, branch line of railroad, or 
of any shipper tendering interstate traf- 
fic for transportation, shall construct and 
operate upon reasonable terms a switch 
connection with such lateral, branch line 
of railroad, where such connection is rea- 
sonably practicable and can be put in with 
safety and will furnish sufficient business 
to justify it: and shall furnish cars for the 
movement of such traffic to the best of its 
ability without discrimination in favor of 
or against such shipper. 

MT'ST FIST RATE SCHEDULES. 

Every common carrier shall file with the 
commission and print and keep open to pub- 



168 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1907. 



lie Inspection schedules showing all the 
rates, fares and charges for transportation 
between points on its own route and points 
on the route of any other railroad when 
through and joint rates have been estab- 
lished. If no joint rates have been estab- 
lished the several carriers in such through 
route shall furuish schedules of the sep- 
arately established rates. The schedules 
shall plainly state the places between 
which passengers and property will be car- 
ried, and shall contain the classification of 
freight in force, and shall also state sep- 
arately all terminal, storage and icing 
charges and all other charges which the 
commission may require. No changes in 
the published rates shall be made except 
after thirty days' notice to the commission. 
Every common carrier shall also file with 
the commission copies of all contracts, 
agreements or arrangements with other 
<-ommon carriers in relation to any traffic 
affeeted by the provisions of this act to 
which it may be a party. 

No common carrier shall charge or collect 
a greater or less or different compensation 
than that specified in the tariff filed; nor 
shall any carrier refund or remit in any 
manner or by any device any portion of the 
rates, fares and charges so specified, nor 
extend to any shipper or person any privi- 
leges or facilities except such as are speci- 
fied in such tariffs 

The willful failure upon the part of any 
carrier to file and publish the tariffs or to 
strictly observe such tariffs until changed 
according to law shall be a misdemeanor 
punishable by a fine of not less than $1,000 
or more than $20.000; and it shall be unlaw- 
ful for any person, persons or corporation 
to offer, grant or give, or to solicit, accept 
or receive any rebate, concession or dis- 
crimination in respect to the transportation 
of any property in interstate or foreign 
commerce by any common carrier whereby 
such property shall by any device whatever 
be transported at a less rate than that 
named in the tariffs published and filed by 
such carrier. Every carrier or shipper vio- 
lating this provision is liable to a fine of 
from $1.000 to $20,000. Any officer or 
agent of any corporation who shall be con- 
victed of violating this provision of the law 
is liable to imprisonment in the peniten- 
tiary for a term not exceeding two years, 
or both such fine and imprisonment, in the 
discretion of the court. 

Any person, corporation or company who 
ehall knowingly by any means or device 
whatsoever receive from a common carrier 
any sum of moqey or any other valuable 
consideration as a rebate or offset against 
the regular charge for transportation of 
property as fixed by the schedule of rates, 
shall in addition to any penalty provided 
by the act forfeit to the United States a 
sum of money three times the value of the 
money or other consideration so received; 
and the attorney-general of the United 
States is authorized to institute a civil ac- 
tion to collect the sums so forfeited, and in 
the trial of such action all such rebates or 
other consideration so forfeited for a period 
of six years prior to the commencement of 
the action may be included therein.

Section 15 of the act of 1887 is amended so 
as to read: 

"That the commission is authorized and em- 
powered, and it shall be its duty, whenever, 
after full heaving upon a complaint made 



as provided in section 13 of this act, or 
upon complaint of any common carrier, it 
shall be of the opinion that any of the rates 
or charges whatsoever, demanded, charged 
or collected by any common carrier or car- 
riers, subject to the provisions of this act, 
for the transportation of persons or prop- 
erty as defined in the first section of- this 
act, or that any regulations or practices 
whatsoever of such carrier or carriers af- 
fecting such rates, are unjust and unreason- 
able, or unjustly discriminatory, or unduly 
preferential or prejudicial, or otherwise in 
violation of any of the provisions of this act, 
to determine and prescribe what will be the 
just and reasonable rate or rates, charge or 
charges, to be thertafter observed in such 
case as the maximum to be charged; and 
what regulation or practice in respect to 
such transportation is just, fair and rea- 
sonable to De thereafter followed; and to 
make an order that the carrier shall cease 
and desist from, such violation, to the extent 
to which the commission finds the same to 
exist, and shall cot thereafter publish, de- 
mand or collect any rate or charge for such 
transportation in excess of the maximum 
rate or charge so prescribed, and shall con- 
form to the regulation or practice so pre- 
scribed. All orders of the commission ex- 
cept orders for the payment of money shall 
take effect \yithin such reasonable time, not 
less than thirty days, and shall continue in 
force for such period of time, not exceeding 
two years, as shall be prescribed in the or- 
der of the oonr-nission, unless the same 
shall be suspended or modified or set aside 
by a court of competent jurisdiction. When- 
ever the carriar cr carriers, in obedience to 
such order of the commission or otherwise, 
in respect to joint rates, fares or charges, 
shall fail to a^ree among themselves upon 
the apportionment or division thereof, the 
commission may, after hearing, make a sup- 
plemental order prescribing the just and 
reasonable proportion of such joint rate to 
be received oy rach carrier party thereto, 
which order shall take effect as a part of 
the original order. 

"The commission may also, after hear- 
ing on a complaint, establish through routes 
and joint rates as the maximum to be 
charged and prescribe the divisions of such 
rates as hereinbefore provided, and the 
terms and conditions under which such 
through routes shall be operated, when that 
may be necessary to give effect to any pro- 
vision of this act, and the carriers com- 
plained of have refused or neglected to 
voluntarily establish such through routes 
and joint rates, provided no reasonable or 
satisfactory through route exists, and this 
provision shall apply when one of the con- 
necting carriers is a water line. 

"If the owner of property transported un- 
der this act directly or indirectly renders 
any service connected, with such transporta- 
tion, or furnishes any instrumentality used 
therein, the charge and allowance made 
therefor shall be no more than is just and 
reasonable, and the commission may. after 
hearing on a complaint, determine what is 
a reasonable charge as the maximum to be 
paid by the carrier or carriers for the serv- 
ice so rendered or for the use of the in- 
strumentality to furnished, and fix the same, 
by appropriate c.ider. which order shall have 
the same force &nd effect and be enforced in 
like manner ns ;he orders above provided 
for in this section. 

"The foregoing enumeration of powers 



WOKK OF THE 59TH CONGRESS.

shall not exclude any power which the com- 
mission would otherwise have in the making 
of an order under the provisions of this 
act." 

PROCEEDINGS IN COUHT. 

If the commission shall determine that 
any party complainant is entitled to an 
award of damages for any violation of tho 
provisions of the act the commission shall 
make an order directing the carrier to pay 
the complainant the sum to which he is en- 
titled on or before a day named. If a car- 
rier does not comply with such an order 
the complainant may file in the Circuit 
court of the United States for the district 
in which he resides or in which is located 
the principal operating office of the carrier, 
or through which the road of the carrier 
runs, a petition setting forth briefly the 
causes for which he claims damages and 
the order of the commission in the premises. 
Such suit shall proceed in all respects like 
other civil suits for damages, except that 
the findings and order of the commission 
shall be prima facie evidence of the facts 
stated therein and that the petitioner shall 
not be liable for costs. If the petitioner 
shall finally prevail he shall be allowed a 
reasonable attorney's fee. 

Any carrier or representative of a carrier 
who knowingly neglects to obey any order 
under section 15 of the act shall forfeit to 
the United States the sum of $5,000 for each 
offense and it shall be the duty of the vari- 
ous district attorneys to prosecute for the 
recovery of forfeitures. If any carrier fails 
or neglects to obey any order of the com- 
mission, other than for the payment of mon- 
ey, while the same is in effect, any party 
injured thereby, or the commission In its 
own name, may apply to the Circuit court 
for an enforcement of such order. Such 
application shall be by petition. If upon 
such hearing as the court may deem neces- 
sary it appears that the order was regularly 
made and duly served the court shall en- 
force obedience by writ of injunction or 
other proper process. From any action upon 
such petition an appeal shall lie by either 
party to the Supreme court of the United 
States, and in such court the case shall 
have priority of hearing and determination 
over all other causes except criminal causes, 
but the appeal shall not vacate the order 
appealed from. 

The provisions of the act to expedite the 
hearing and determination of suits in equi- 
ty, approved Feb. 11, 1903, are made ap- 
plicable to suits brought against the com- 
mission to enjoin, suspend or set aside any 
of its orders or requirements. No injunction, 
interlocutory order or decree suspending or 
restraining the enforcement of an order of 
the commission shall be granted except on 
hearing after not less than five days' notice 
to the commission. An appeal may be taken 
from any interlocutory decree or order 
granting or continuing injunction in any 
suit, but shall lie only to the Supreme 
court of the United States. The appeal 
must be taken within thirty days from the 
entry of such order or decree and it shall 
take precedence in the appellate court over 
all other causes, except causes of like char- 
acter and criminal causes. 

After a decision, order or requirement has 
been made by the commission in any pro- 
ceeding any party thereto may at any time 
make application for a rehearing of tho 
same and it shall be lawful for the commis- 



sion to grant such a rehearing if sufficient 
reason therefor shall be made to appear. 

UNIFORM ACCOUNTS REQUIRED. 

For the purpose of enabling it the better 
to carry out the provisions of the law the 
commission may prescribe a period of time 
within which all common carriers shall 
have, as near as may be, a uniform system 
of accounts and the manner in which such 
accounts shall be kept. The commission 
shall at all times have access to the ac- 
counts. If carriers refuse to keep such ac- 
counts or to submit them to inspection they 
shall forfeit to the United States the sum 
of $500 for each offense. Falsification of 
accounts or the keeping of accounts not 
authorized by the commission is subject to 
a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than 
$5.000, or to imprisonment of from one to 
three years, or to both fine and imprison- 
ment. 

COMMISSION IS ENLARGED. 

The Interstate-commerce commission Is en- 
larged so as to consist of seven members 
with terms of seven years and each is to 
receive $10,000 compensation annually.

WEIGHTS OF DIAMONDS AND FINENESS OF GOLD. 



The weight of diamonds and other precious 
stones is expressed in carats, grains and 
quarter-grains. The grains are pearl grains, 
one of which is equal to four-fifths of a troy 
grain. Four quarter-grains make one grain 
and four grains make one carat. A carat is 
therefore equal to four-fifths of four troy 
grains, or 3.2. 



The- fineness of gold is also expressed in 
carats. Pure gold is said to be twenty-four 
carats fine. If it contains eight parts of a 
baser metal or alloy it is only sixteen carats 
fir.e. The carats therefore indicate the pro- 
portion of pure gold to alloy. Most of the 
gold used by Jewelers is about fourteen car- 
ats fine, having ten parts of alloy.

the isthmus. 

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS. 
By order of the president three executive 
departments were created headed by Theo- 
dore P. Shonts, Charles E. Magoon and John 
F. Wallace. The head of the first depart- 
ment is chairman of the commission and has 
direct and immediate charge of: 

1. The fiscal affairs of the commission. 

2. The purchase and delivery of all ma- 
terial and supplies. 

3. The accounts, bookkeeping and audits. 

4. The commercial operations in the Unit- 
ed States of the Panama railroad and 
steamship lines. 

5. He has charge of the general concerns 
of the commission subject to the supervision 
and direction of the secretary of war and 
performs such other duties as are placed 
upon him from time to time by the secre- 
tary of war. 

The head of the second department Is the 
governor of the zone, with the duties and 
powers indicated in the executive order of 
May 9, 1904, which includes in general: 

1. The administration and enforcement of 
law in the zone. 

2. All matters of sanitation within the 
canal zone, and also in the cities of Pan- 
ama and Colon and the harbors, etc., so far 
as authorized by the treaty, the executive 
orders and decrees of Dec. 3. 1904, between 
the United States and the republic of Pan- 
ama relating thereto. 

3. The custody of all supplies needed for 
sanitary purposes and such construction nec- 
essary for sanitary purposes as may be as- 
signed to this department by the commission. 

4. Such other duties ns he may be charged 
with from time to time by the secretary of 
war. 

5. He shall reside on the isthmus and de- 
vote his entire time to the service, except 
when granted leave of absence by the sec- 
retary of war. 

' The head of the third department is the 
chief engineer. He has full charge on the 
isthmus: 

1. Of all the actual work of construction 
carried on by the commission on the isth- 
mus. 

2. The custody of all the supplies and plant 
of the commission upon the isthmus. 

3. The practical operation of the railroad 



178 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1907. 



on the isthmus, with the special view to 
its utilization in canal construction work. 

4. He shall reside on the isthmus and de- 
vote his entire time to the service except 
when granted leave of absence by the sec- 
retary of war. 

While Stevens was appointed chief engi- 
neer, he was not made a member of the 
commission, and the responsibility which 
had been divided between Wallace and 
Shouts was all placed upon the latter. The 
engineering work is under the immediate 
supervision of Mr. Stevens, but under the 
general direction of Chairman Shonts. 

In September, 1905, a number of eminent 
engineers of America and Europe met in 
Washington, D. C., to make investigations 
and recommendations as to the type of ca- 
nal to be built, as it had not been decided 
whether it should be a sea-level or a lock 
canal. They visited the isthmus and on re- 
turning to Washington formulated majority 
and minority reports, the foreign engineers 
favoring a sea-level and -a majority of the 
American engineers a lock canal. 

In a message to congress Feb. 19, 1906, 
President Roosevelt transmitted the reports 
of the board of consulting engineers and the 
isthmian canal commission and announced 
that unless otherwise directed by congress 
he would order the canal commission to 
proceed with the construction of the lock 
type of canal. The majority of the board of 
consulting engineers, eight in number, in- 
cluding the five foreign engineers, favored a 
sea-level canal, and one member of the canal 
commission, Rear-Admiral Endicott, took 
the same view. Five of the eight American 
members of the board of consulting engi- 
neers and five members of the isthmian ca- 
nal commission favored the lock canal and 
so did Chief Engineer Stevens and the sec- 
retary of war. The president concurred in 
the recommendation of the minority of the 
consulting engineers and of the majority of 
the canal commission that the lock plan be 
adopted. This was also the view taken by 
the members of the 59th congress, which at 
its first session passed a bill directing that 
a lock canal should be constructed. It was 
also determined that all the materials used 
in building the canal should be purchased in 
the United States. 

PLAN OF THE CANAL. 

The canal begins in the bay of Limon, a 
mile northwest of the city of Colon on the 
Atlantic side, with a channel 500 feet in 
width and 41 feet in depth at mean tide, 
running due south to the shore line of Limon 
bay, at the mouth of the Mindi river. This 
distance is 4% miles. Then the canal passes 
through low and swampy ground in a south- 
erly direction 3 miles to the town of Gatun, 
the width for this stretch being 500 feet and 
the depth 45 feet. At Gatun there is a space 
between the hills of over 7.000 feet, through 
which the waters of the Chagres river and 
its tributaries flow to the sea. This space 
is buttressed on either side with rocks and 
hills, and about midway in this space there 
is a mountain of rock and earth, in which 
it is proposed to excavate a diversion chan- 
nel through which the Chagres river will 
flow during the construction of the earth 
dam. The plan is to construct this dam 
across the entire space at a height of 135 
feet above sea level and create a lake. Ves- 
sels are to be raised to the level of the lake, 
to be known as Lake Gatun. by three 



duplicate locks ranging in a flight of steps. 
each lock being 900 feet interior length. 95 
feet wide, 40 feet deep over the miter sills, 
with a lift in each lock of 28 2-3 feet. These 
six locks, constructed of a mass of masonry 
and concrete, will be buried in Gatun hill 
and founded on rock throughout. Lake 
Gatun, when created by the construction of 
this dam, will be about 110 square miles in 
area and will form the summit level of the 
canal, which will be 85 feet above sea level. 
The total length of the lake will be 30 miles, 
of which 23 miles will be navigated by 
ships crossing the isthmus. Its depth will 
be about 75 feet in the immediate vicinity 
of the dam. this being maintained with lit- 
tle reduction to Bohio (a distance of about 
10 miles), and thence reducing gradually 
toward Obispo. where the depth of 45 feet 
will be obtained with but little excavation. 
the bed of the river being about 45 feet be- 
low the surface of the future lake. 

For 15.69 miles above the Gatun locks the 
deep portion of the lake will have generally 
a width exceeding half a mile, and only a 
small amount of excavation will be required 
to provide a navigable channel nowhere less 
than 1.000 feet wide at the bottom and 45 
feet deep. Farther up the lake, as the 
amount of excavation required to obtain a 
depth of 45 feet Increases, the minimum 
width of the channel will be decreased, first 
to 800 feet for a distance of 3.86 miles from 
San Pablo to Juan Grande, then to 500 feet 
for 3.73 miles to Obispo, and to 300 feet for 
1.55 miles from Obispo to Las Cascades, 
where the channel will be further narrowed 
to 200 feet through the heaviest portion of 
the great central mass known as -Culebra. 

For a distance of 4.7 miles through the 
deep portion of the Culebra cut the channel 
is to have a bottom width of 200 feet and to 
have nearly vertical sides below the water 
line, and then will become 300 feet wide 
for 1.88 miles to the Pedro Miguel locks, 
where the summit level will end. The du- 
plicate locks at Pedro Miguel will have one 
lift of 31 feet. Passing the locks the chan- 
nel will be 500 feet wide for 1.64 miles, then 
increasing to 1.000 feet or more for the fur- 
ther distance of 3.38 miles to the Sosa locks 
on the shore of Panama bay. This broad 
navigation will be in an artificial lake cre- 
ated by three dams, to be subsequently de- 
scribed. There are to. be duplicate flights 
of locks on the west side of Sosn hill near 
La Boca with two lifts of about 31 feet 
each from ordinary low tide to the level of 
Lake Sosa. From the Sosa lock to the 7- 
fathom curve in Panama bay, a distance of 
4 miles, the channel is to be 300 feet wide 
at the bottom and 45 feet deep below mean 
tide. 

The waterway may be summarized with 
reference to channel widths as follows:

Locks and approaches 2.58 5.2 

Total 49.72 100.0 

The estimated cost of the canal is $139,- 
705.200 and the time for its completion eight 
and a half years. It is expected that it 
will be open for navigation in 1914 or 1915.

The order is a military organization with 
patriotic objects, having for its scope the 
period of American history since national 
independence. It stands for the needed and 
honorable principle of national defense 
against foreign aggression. The principal 
feature of the order is the perpetuating of 
the names, as well as the services, of com- 
missioned officers who served in either the 
war of the revolution, the war with Tripoli, 
the war of 1812, the Mexican war or the war 
with Spain and all future campaigns, rec- 
ognized by the United States government 
as war with foreign powers. Veteran com- 
panionship is conferred upon such officers 
and hereditary companionship upon their di- 
rect lineal descendants in the male line.
