1907] THOMSON— PROGRESS OF THE ISTHMIAN CANAL. 137 



tion by the organized body of ninety members of the Commercial 

 Club party is in reality an endorsement of the work of the Isthmian 

 Canal Commission and a corroboration of the President's report to

 practical examination of the work. It is a work in which every 

 citizen should feel an interest.
