A MEETING HELD IN PITTSBURG. Col. T. T. Roberts Clion relegate to the Waterways Convention. jjiFomxT mxs to bl considered The Canal Commission met yesterday and appointed Colonel Thomas V. Roberts to represent it at the deep waterway conven tion, which convenes at Detroit to-day. The Colonel left for the Lake City last cven iiipr. It was a lonely little crowd that gath ered at the meeting but a quornm was present. Engineer Goodwin, of Sharpville, i dead, and Captain John A. "Wood is sick in Xew Orleans. Secretary Eben Brewer, of Erie, -Congressman AV". S. Shallcnberger, of Uochester, an Colonel Roberts attended to the business. Resolutions of respect in honor of Mr. Goodu in were adopted some time ago. This was the first meeting held since his death. Colonel,ltoberts said they had several un important matters to dispose of, but the main thing was appointing a delegate to the Detroit convention. The three Commissioners were pleased that the canal f-cheme had finally been brought to the attention of the Senate through Senator Qua 's bill. Tlie Koute Should Be Designated. Colonel Roberts had read Tun Dispatch account1:, and they stated that the proposed canal was intended to connect Lake Erie iwth the Ohio river without naming the points. He hoped that the surveyed route w as outlined in the bill, so that the Gov ernment engineers wouldn't have to chase all over the country to locate it. The river men did not prepare the measure, and it is supposed that Senator Quay wrote the bill himvclf. Mr. Quay is in cfoe touch with the river people, and is very much interest fd in the ship canal. The waterway convention at.JPetroit will be very important. Inland navigators from many places are expected. Colonel Roberts attended the meeting recently held at Evanville, and he wa surprised to see fciich a large crowd of rivermen on hand, who took an active part in the discussions. lu speaking of the Detroit mectinir. Colonel Roberts said: "Xearly every vessel that passes through the Detroit and St. Clair rivers from Lake Erie to Lake Huron has its keel craped on account of shallow water. The boats must either take a small cargo for this obstruction, or ther are built lor jicht draught. The object of the meet ing is to discuss means of deepening this channel. JmproTeuieits Already Made. "The Government has already spent scv rral million dredging the Detroit rherand St. Lawrence flats. The water originally was 14 feet deep, but it was made 16. The lake navigators want a depth of 21 feet, and they ought to hae it. People have no idea of the extent of the internal com merce on the lakes. It is larger than the Atlantic coast-wise tiade. Xo wonder it makes me tired when 1 see men turning up their noses at canals. They don't know what thev are talking about. AVhy, 40,000 vessels annually pass through the Detroit river. The" great scheme outlined is to connect the lakes with the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and the Atlantic ucean. J'eople should re- member there are only two canal projects before the country at present, one to run from Chicago across Illinois to the Missis sippi, known as the Hennepin, and the Erie waterway from Pittsburg. "Another thing that lake navigators want, and the time is coming when it will be none, is an outlet to the ocean through New York. This subject also will be discussed at the meeting. We now reach salt water through the St. Lawrence river, but it be longs to the Canadians, and in the event of war would be useless. A Plan Favorably Considered. "Resides, the St. Lawrence doesn't clear up until late in the spring and too much lime is lost. The Xew York people are talking of a number of projects, but one that meets with considerable favor is to build a canal around Niagara Falls and run boats down to Osnego, where they would strike ' the Erie Canal going across the State. I have looked over the ground a little, and, while this plan avoids obstructions in one place, it raises them in others. Men who under stand the importance of our internal com merce realize that such a connection with the ocean should be made. The traffic in a short time would pay the expense of con struction." The Colonel said the whaleback boat is designed to carry large cargoes with a light draught. The lake nren are doing all they can to get around shallow places, but after all plenty of water solves the problem and is the cheapest S330 rinno, Fully Warranted, at S350. A MAGKIFICEST BARGAIN.
