Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. PANAMA CANAL NEARING COMPLETION The Panama Canal will be practically completed by December 1. By that date it will be possible, should the necessity arise, to transfer the entire Atlantic fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific by way of the canal. Early in October the last dyke, that which is holding the water out of Culebra Cut, will be blown up and the cut will fill immediately to a depth of ten feet or more, which depth will steadily increase until by December 1, when with normal rainfall, the surface of the water in Gatun Lake and the cut will be up to its normal level of 85 feet above sea level. Only one complete set of locks will be completed by October 1, but the completion of the others will proceed steadily. All the locks are twins, the two being side by side at each point. der, Col. Goethals will ask permission to step aside just before the formal opening and he will do so with the satisfaction of knowing that he completed the canal with an ample margin inside of scheduled time and well within the cost he estimated when he undertook the work. What steps may be taken by a grateful nation to show its appreciation of the great work this man has accomplished and achieved in the face of incalculable and most inconceivable obstacles, is not a matter with which Col. Goethals is willing to concern himself. Like a true soldier, he contents himself with saying: "I have merely carried out my orders." The alleged friction and difference of opinion regarding the advisability of turning the water into the Culebra Cut as soon as possible or of waiting until all the soil deposited by the slides has been removed by dry excavation, proves to be merely an evanescent puff of argumentation when the engineer of the canal explained the situation. "Excavation with dredges is cheaper and more expeditious," says the colonel. "If flooding the cut is going to aggravate the slides the sooner we know it the better. The more time we will have to handle the increased material the better." With that foresight which has marked every phase of Col. Goethals' ad bra Cut, will be blown up and the cut will fill immediately to a depth of ten feet or more, which depth will steadily increase until by December 1, when with normal rainfall, the surface of the water in Gatun Lake and the cut will be up to its normal level of 85 feet above sea level. Only one complete set of locks will be completed by October 1, but the completion of the others will proceed steadily. All the locks are twins, the two being side by side at each point. The filling of the canal depends solely on the completion of the locks or, more specifically speaking, the completion of the lock gates. When Col. Goethals leaves Washington this week to return to the isthmus, it will be with the absolute confidence of the administration, both the President and the Secretary of War. He will remain at the head of the great enterprise as long as he desires and will be the sole director of the canal. The incipient insurrection of certain of his associates who looked for exchange because of the new administration, is a thing of the past. By January 1, 1914, the canal will be in condition to handle such commerce as it may be thought best to send through it. Then will follow the organization of the permanent administration force—sometimes mistakenly called the civil government—and the whole of next year will be devoted to training this force, correcting any errors which may be discovered and getting everything into smooth running order in anticipation of the formal opening on January 1, 1915. When the canal is completed and in running or “Excavation with dredges is cheaper and more expeditious,” says the colonel. “If flooding the cut is going to aggravate the slides the sooner we know it the better. The more time we will have to handle the increased material the better.” With that foresight which has marked every phase of Col. Goethal’s administration, all the arrangements are made for setting the dredging forces at work. By the middle of December the dry season will set in and the filling of the canal delayed beyond October, it might be far into next year before a sufficient rain fell to raise the canal to its normal level. Manager Bilger of the Fairyland theater announces that on Thursday, June 26th, he will give to the public a six-reel show entitled “Around the World in 90 Minutes.” This feature has been running in Los Angeles for the past 2 weeks, which assures you of a first-class show, and is full of excitement from start to finish.

The party returned to Anaheim about 6 o'clock. Prof. R. Hitori, of Tokio, Japan, lectured at the Anaheim opera house Thursday evening to a good sized audience of his fellow countrymen. Japanese were present from Los Angeles, Santa Ana and all other points within reach of Anaheim.
