Indicative of the great importance of the Panama canal as a commercial artery comes the statement that 400,000 tons of freight, destined for San Francisco and the Pacific Coast, are tied up in the Panama canal as the result of the worst slide in the history of the great ditch and it is expected that it will be later than November 1 before traffic will be resumed. The American-Hawaiian Steamship of San. Francisco has ships tied up by the great slide, a large number of which carry holiday goods consigned to San Francisco.

The local offices of the company are awaiting orders from New York as to the final disposition of the shipments. The Luckenbach Company, with local offices here, has three ships tied up. Orders were received here to the effect that the goods would be transshipped by railway from Colon to Balboa and thence by the Luckenbach to San Francisco. In all it is estimated that there ts in excess of 400,000 tons of freight tied up in SO ships, bound north and south, through the canal. Of this amount it is considered impossible to trans-ship more than a small portion.

This will result in most of the ships being tied up until such a time as the slide of last Saturday night is removed. According to.the latest dispatches received in the local offices of steamship companies, more than 1,000,000 cubic yards of earth must be removed before the channel is again deep enough to permit, the passage of the ships'. This work has been started and according to government advices it is not expected that it can be completed before the middle of November. In most cases the loss, brought about by the slide will be borne by the operating companies, as in each charter there is a provision which covers the possibility of a slide in the canal. 1 OLD MAN MILEAGE.

An hour or so after being wounded it may be necessary to amputate a wounded man's leg at the ankle to prevent the deadly bacillus from making headway. Death has frequently been due to the spread of the bacillus and not to the wound itself. "I saw one man who had been shot in the side.

His liver showed the presence of gas bacillus. An incision was made in that organ and the liver washed with sodium hypochloride. The man recovered."
