Great Dry Dock
Is Completed at
Balboa, Canal Zone
PANAMA, Sept. 20.—The virtual
completion of the new 1,000 foot dry
dock at Balboa, in conjunction with
the shops and foundries there, and of
the 485,000-ton coaling plant at Cris
tobal, are important steps in the mil
itarization of the canal and making it
j an important naval base. The dry
dock and the coaling plant are now in
operation, although further work is
necessary to bring them to comple
tion. They have both been used dur
ing the past week for commercial
ships passing through the canal, and
the navy cruiser- Charleston which
has been stationed at the Atlantic en
trance since the last German crists, is
now being overhauled and given ex
tensive repairs in the drydock.
The dry dock is 1,000 feet long by
110 feet wide, having the same dimen
sions as the chambers of the locks.
It will accommodate the largest ships
in the world, and even at this stage of
completion, has handled one vessel
drawing 33 feet of water. It has a
depth over the blocks of 35 feet at
mean tide, or 45 feet at high tide. It
■ is an integral part of the terminal
shops and foundries. Together they
can do practically any sort of ship
repair work.
The new coaling plant at Cristobal,
which has an emergency storage ca
pacity of nearly 500,000 tons, which
may be increased indefinitely in con
nection with land storage alongside
the plant, has been designed with es
pecial regard to naval uses. Its abili
ty to deliver 2,000 tons of coal an hour
to a ship will make it theoretically
possible for a whole fleet to coal there
in 24 hours for an extensive cruise.
The plant is of a novel design, made
with a view to just such an emergen
cy.
TEN MILLION EGGS
FROM ALASKA FISH
FOE PUGET SOUND
SEATTLE, Oct. 4.—State Fish
Commissioner Darwin has made ap
plication to Federal Fish Commission
er H. M. Smith, for the establishment
of a station on one of the streams of
Alaska. Commissioner Darwin wants
10,000,000 eggs of Alaska red salmor
so as to rehabilitate the Puget sounc
sockeye.
Bandit Leader
Remains the Big
Question Mark
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—Wheth
er Villa has became a factor again in
the Mexican military situation re
mains a question of considerable doubt
with the war department officials.
It is also uncertain in the minds of
the military officials whether Villa ac
tually participated in the attack of
Chihuahua, as claimed, when several
hundred were killed by Carranza for
ces.
Villa remains the big question mark
on the Mexican horizon. It is believed
here that the American government
would have no hesitancy in granting
the request of Carranza for the with
drawal of the American troops if it
were certain that Villa was out of the
way.
This would then leave the American
and Mexican commissioners in ses
sion at New London a clear field for
arriving at a solution of the border
problems.
There is positive evidence that Vil
la is still alive, but how far he is at
the present time or may become a dis
turbing factor in Mexican affairs is
not easy to predict just now.
It is known that the Villa forces
must be rather short of provisions and
ammunition, owing to the fact that
the United States government has
maintained a strict border embargo on
all supplies which might reach the
bandits.
