Menace in Panama Canal slides alarms Uncle Sam diggers
Panama March 18 The menace of the Panama Canal slides grows serious. Col Goethals says debris can be removed, but slides threaten the canal diggers as the water may be turned into the cut next fall. The east bank slide near Culebra cut moved again, lifting the bottom of the cut by about 30 feet and destroying tracks and shovels. Over 2,000,000 cubic yards of earth and rock are in motion. By Oct 1 water will backfill the canal bed behind Gamboa dam, enabling sluice-gate tests. The army engineers plan dredges to remove slides cheaply and with few engineering difficulties. The illustration shows a portion of the slide within the black lines. The worst area is marked on the map.
