Another day I stood with Col. D. D.
Halliard, the engineer of the central
division, outside his office in Empire, j
and watched his army laboring in the
cut, the completion of which has
been bis biggest task and greatest
glory. Right at our feet a big area
had sunk down 70 feet in a night, and
if there had not been warnings of the
break a wing of the colonel’s office
building would have gone down with
it. “We had just time to remove that
wing,” said he, “and my office force is
rather nervous now, for there are
three big cracks under the main build
ing. I expect it, too, will have to be
torn down very soon.
“These slides used to make us rath-

are in pockets in the rock wall, and,
annoying as they are, they only need
cleaning out. The Cucaracha started

the canal would get a black eye from ' ^
which it might not recover for a long
time. Officially, the time for the com-

1, 1915. It may be done before that
date, but In March of this year there
j was still about $50,000,000 worth of

“We who have been digging the

are rather fearful concerning that part
of the Adamson bill which permits
the president to dissolve the commis-

canal is near enough to completion.
We feel that It would be extremely
, unjust not to allow ub to remain ‘on

much like permitting a boy to com- '

It is indeed a scene of wonderful ac- j

blast fills the air with sound and dirt j
and rocks.
