The Canal Zone Postal Service has a colorful history that dates back to 1904. when it was established as part of the Department of Revenues under the supervision of the Treasurer of the Canal Zone. Paymaster L. C. Tobev, CSX, was the first Director of Posts. Post offices were first opened at La Boca, Ancon, Cristobal, Gatun, Cule- bra, Bohio, Corgona, Matachin, and Empire. They were operated then by railroad station agents as postmasters. The Canal Zone Postal Service has operated as an independent postal svs- tem from the beginning and is estab- lished as such by Act of Congress of the United States. When the Canal Zone Postal Service was first established on June 24, 1904, a small supply of 2i, 50, and 10c Panama provisional stamps overprinted "Canal Zone" horizontally in roman capitals were obtained and used. Colombian stamps overprinted "Pan- ama," "Canal Zone" and stamps issued by Panama overprinted "Canal Zone" were used between the years 1904 and 1924 in conformity with the provision of an executive older issued in 1904 b) Secretary of War William H.

    Lafayette was the First American Idol 3/23/15, 6:01 PM Lafayette was the First American Idol Written by J. Dennis Robinson FAMOUS PEOPLE Almost 50 years after the American Revolution, a French nobleman toured the entire United States. Greeted everywhere by cheering crowds, Lafayetee embodied the soul of the new America, and in September 1824, he rocked the house in Portsmouth, NH. A new book translated by a NH lawyer, tells the full story. LAFAYETTE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE 1824 He was the American idol of 1824. Untold thousands stood in every kind of weather to catch a glimpse of General Lafayette of France as he visited all 24 American states in a grand 13-month tour. Everywhere Lafayette traveled -- buildings, towns, streets and children were named in his honor. According to the Portsmouth Journal, Lafayette’s arrival in Portsmouth, NH on September 1, 1824 was an event too big for words. "There was a glow of unaffected delight on every countenance," the newspaper reported. Only George Washington had the power to rouse such patriotic fervor from the citizens of this new nation, but Washington had been dead and buried for a quarter century. http://www.seacoastnh.com/History/As-I-Please/lafayette-was-the-first-american-idol/?print=1&tmpl=component Page 1 of 4 Lafayette was the First American Idol 3/23/15, 6:01 PM The Marquis de Lafayette was just 19 years old when he came to the aid of Gen. George Washington’s rag-tag army in 1778. Spending his own inheritance to support American troops, wounded in battle, Lafayette was influential in convincing King Louis XVI to send French ships, men and supplies that helped turn the tide against the British at the Battle of Yorktown.

In the Communist Manifesto, the theory was applied in broad outline to the whole of modern history; in the articles by Marx and myself in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung, it was constantly used to interpret political events of the day.

    Project JYP-1104 SALT INTRUSION IN GATUN LAKE A Major Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Assel Akhmetova Cristina Crespo Edwin Muñiz March 11, 2012 Jeanine D. Plummer, Major Advisor Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering 1. Gatun Lake 2. Salt Intrusion 3. Panama Canal Abstract The expansion of the Panama Canal is adding another lock lane to the canal, allowing passage of larger ships. Increases in the number of transits and the size of the locks may displace more salt from the oceans into the freshwater lake, Gatun Lake, which is a drinking water source for Panama City. This project evaluated future salinity levels in Gatun Lake. Water quality and hydrometeorological data were input into a predictive hydrodynamic software package to project salinity levels in the lake after the new lock system is completed. Modeling results showed that salinity levels are expected to remain in the freshwater range. In the event that the lake becomes brackish, the team designed a water treatment plant using electrodialysis reversal for salt removal and UV light disinfection. ii Executive Summary The Panama Canal runs from the Pacific Ocean in the southeast to the Atlantic Ocean in the northwest over a watershed area containing the freshwater lake, Gatun Lake. The canal facilitates the transit of 36 ships daily using three sets of locks, which displace large volumes of water into and out of Gatun Lake. The displacement of water has the potential to cause salt intrusion into the freshwater Gatun Lake.
