The Pacific barrier at the canal was blown August 31 creating a water path into the canal.

Dredges will clear the Atlantic barrier next, paving the way for ships to navigate to the locks from both ends. Mrs Olive Hopkins of Butte visited her brother A F Graeter and friends at Argenta earlier this week.
