This was made possible this week
ville ‘ the national government issued
r to the Lake Erie and Ohio
River Ship Canal Company. The
. j company Is to build the canal by pri-
vate contract. but ’thc operation of
the waterway will be under certain,
' [federal supervision.
. The ship channel, as Its name indi-
-' cates, is to connect Lake Erie with
‘ the Ohio River. Its northern terminus ,
unless plans. are modified or changed
is to be ht Genevson- the- Lake, some
seren miles west of Ashtabula, 0 It
will enter the Ohio river by utilizing
the Mahonlng and. Beaver rivers
The distance covered by the canal is
103 lies. The channel will be 160
feet
thé‘ way of 14 feet. It Is estimated
that. once completed the canal will
have a capacity of 30,000, 000 tens or
fréight annually.'1‘hc cost will approx
limits $50,000, 000, but if the earnings
of foreign canals furnish any criterion
it will prove a highly remunerative
investment, besides being a boon to
shippers and a wonderful upbuilder of
the territory it traverses.
The saving this channel will effect
to shippers will be enormous. On an
average the cast. of waterway tra nspor—

last national convention oh the Nation-
al Rivers and Harhms Congress, its
president Congressman Ransdell, of
Iioulsihna, advanced some figures that
showed clearly what waterway devel-
opulent meant not only to the shipper
but to the consumer. who In the lust
anklysis is the one who feels the
. weight of heavy lr‘ansportation tolls
in the advanced cost of the necessar-
ies of life Mr. ltansdcll in comparing
rates, pointed to the fact that the av-
erdge railroad charge is 7.3 mills per
ton per mile and said:
“There is an immense commerce on
the Ohio River, and there the freight

railroad charge.
“What would it amount to if in one
year. We’cflilld carry all our freight by

New Arrangements Make for Cramped
Quarters.
Preliminary plans for the C. N. G.
encampment at Niautic, July ""-‘
were discussed at a meeting of the of
floors of the National Guard recently.
Many innovations were reported. all
of which show a tendency to conduct
the camp this your closer to the moth»
ode of the regular army. The tents
will not. be up and ready for occu-
pancy when the troops arrive in
camp. The. streets will be marked out
with stakes and the men will have
to put up their own touts when they
get in Each tent will be supplied
with three cots, such as are used in
the army They are made of canvas
and look like a hospital litter.
'Muthcmatically it has been worked
out by the officers that after the cots
are set up in tents there remains in
each tout but six inches of floor space.
This will forbid the men I'Iccupying the
ten while the cols are up, excepting
to sleep, in them. and it is figured out
that the men must undress in the
company sir cot
instead of sending baggage to camp
one night in advance of Ibo dopurlure
of the troops the plan this 50er is to
send the baggage out. at 4 (I clock in
the morning, the troops following two

short link of less than 100 miles. At It
meeting just held bids for the con-
struction of the road were opened The
survey was made some time ago. No

the filling of this short gap will have
the effect of establishing a new

The work of building the Birmiug
