...unknown, uninspired, surprisingly competent. A bad start were the Hawaiian entries, except for John C. Young's painting of blue-white water foaming against rocks. Puerto Rico's N. Poy was even worse with a peon and green bananas. The Panama Canal Zone had a slightly superior cubic nude by Blanche Lupfer. The Virgin Islands scraped the show's low. Alaska was not represented...

...from the Gulf. There it would pick up the Withlacoochee, follow its course down to the Gulf at Port Inglis. Total length of the canal: 200 miles, including the sea approaches, twice that of Suez, four times that of Panama. Channel depth: 30 ft. Total excavation: 570,000,000 cubic yards, about twice that of Panama. Total construction time: six years. Total estimated cost: $146,000,000 (30% of Panama). Florida's will be a sea level canal (like Suez), not a lock canal (like Panama). It was estimated a lock canal would cost an extra...

From Columbia's standpoint, the new line has two outstanding merits: 1) Detroit is expected to use some 25 billion cubic feet of gas per annum, at a cost of from 33? to 35? a thousand cubic feet. Detroit's gas bill would therefore come to some $8,500,000 a year, and this income would turn the Parish line from money-loser to moneymaker. 2) Texas gas would be neatly...
