s THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, ' FEBRUARY 2. 189a A CANAL CHAHPIOS Talks Forcibb' to the Kailroad Com mittee of the House. $100,000,000 F OR LAKE TO OCEAN. 31i2 Erie and Ohio Scheme an Important lint in the Chain. A TEAR'S SA7IXGS WILL FOOT TI1E BILL fTROM A STATT COEKESPOSBEST.! "Washington, IVo. L A brief hearins was had by the Committee on. Railroads of the House this morning on the subject of ship canals. It is the general supposition that a Congressional committee on railroads is usuallr made up in the interests of the railroads, and there are passages in tie history of Congressional legislation which suggest that this is sometimes the fact The Committee this morning listened with deep attention, however, to the speech of Mr. S. A. Thompson, Secretary of the Duluth Chamber of Commerce, and to 'Captain Kinsman, the Armv Engineer in charge of the Osnego (N'.Y.) district, who gave some explanation of the surveys and cost of the ship canal suggested to connect Lake Erie with the Hudson river. Both addresses were verr brief, as the Committee was late getting toi-ether, but alter its adjournment I had a conversation with Mr. Thompson, in which that gentleman spoke with great hope and enthusiasm Tor the project. Mr. Thompson has probably- made a more exhaustive study of this subject than any other man in the country. At least he is not exceeded by any one in information, eloquence and enthusiasm when talking of it. He is in favor of Tho Develop jnent of Suip Canals wherever they will be of advantage, and as rapidly as possible. He is a hearty advo cate of the ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio by way of Erie and Beaver, and js thoroughly acquainted -j ith the enthusiastic work ot The Dispatch in support of it, and of every movement in its lavor. All of these canals must come, according to Mr. Thompson, and the two ot most pressing necessity are one connecting Lake Erie with the Atlantic tidewater, for the benefit of Eatcru and foreign commerce, and Lake Erie with the Ohio for the Middle and Southern States, supplementing the Henne pin Canal, which reaches the "West and ex treme South by way of the Mississippi Mr. Thompson's present interest, how ever, is first in the deepening of the chan nels connecting the "Western lakes to 21 feet, and then in the great project connect ing the lakes with the Atlantic, so that the bet vessels of the inland seas may reach andcros the ocean without trans-shipment of freight. He has made a careful study pf all the routes proposed, from surveys 'and all o:her information available, and is con vinced that the route by way of Lake On tario and Oneida lake, over the summit at Home, and then bv way of the Mohawk to the Hud.oiiat Albany is the cheapest and mot feasible. Too Ixpenslve to Deepen the Ejie. The great objection to the deepening of the Erie caual lies in the difficulty of cross ing the many streams which intervene. There are upward of 100 on the route, mak ing an aqueduct neeeskary" nearly every quarter of a mile. These streams were a serious and expensive obstacle in the build ing ot the existing canal, which is not more than seven iect deep in its present condi tion, and would seem to be an insurmount able ob-tacle in the way of the constructiou ot a canal 20 or 21 feet deep. The route proposed involves, in the first -place, a canal around Niagara Falls, which would have to be about 22 miles in length, with eleven locks, the total cost being estimated at about 520,000,000. The "Weliand canal, wholly on Canadian soil and oneJ by the Dominion of Canada. J places an eino.rgo of 20 cents per ton on all freight parsing through it which is to be un loaded at anvplace above Montreal. Freight goinc to Montreal or farther is given a drawback ot lb cents per ton, which is a tre mendous discrimination against shipments to the series ot great towns and cities lying on and adjacent to Lake Ontario. The , canal around Niagara Falls would enable steamers to reach the competing points east ot Buffalo on Lakes Ontario and Oneida, and thus reduce the cost of trans portation which is now regulated by the monopoly betw een Buffalo and New York. A LaUe and River CoinblniMon. From the Niagara Canal there would be 110 miles of deep water sailing on Lake On tario, tiien a short canal easily made by deepening the channel between Ontario and Oneida Lakes. The only absolutely solid cutting would be from the eastern point of Oneida Lake to Borne Summit, in the Adi rondack?, to the headwatersof the Mohawk. Thence there would be "only river deepening by way Of the Mohawk to Albany and of the Hudson from Albany to Troy, which is now the head of navigation for boats of any importance. Surveys over portions of this route have been made and other parts of it are so well known that the expense can be estimated, and the total cost has been fixed in round numbers at $100,000,000. Five years has been estimated as a fully sufficient period for the completion of the work. Captain Kingman asserts, however, that with ample cpnrnprisitionEfl. force could be put upon construction which would complete the whole route, the great Niagara Falls Canal included, within four years. One hundred millions sounds like a'large sum, but Mr. Thompson shows by absolutely reliable fisures that the saving which would be ef fected on freight transported in a single year would much more than pay the entire cost of construction. The difference be tween the cost of moving the freight of the last ear and what the cost would be were there a ship canal was 150,000,000. Carada Beats Us Iq Canals. The Government of the Dominion of Canada, according to Mr. Thompson, is far outstripping the United States in enterprise in iue uunuing oi snip canals, xiiey are deepening their canal at Sault Ste. Marie to compete with advantage against the United States canal now being improved at that point. The series oi six or seven canals through the rapids and shallows of tne ot. .Lawrence, 14 feet in depth, is rapidly approaching completion, all except two be ing practically finished. But the Dominion Government is not content with 14 feet, but is already preparing, while using that depth, to increase to any depth contemplated by the United States. With these canals in the St Lawrence and the "Wetland Canal increased to a greater capacitv, as is com templatcd, lake vessels would pass out by that route aud on to Europe without so much as casting an anchor in republican soil. Already one lake steamer, a "whale back," the "Wctniore, has passed out bv way of the "St Lawrence, carrying nearly i.0,000 bushels of wheat. The whaleback appears to be the coming vessel, not only .or treight, but for passen gers. One steamship line has contracted tor a 'wha.bse steymer upward of 400 feet in lengtu .-.nd capable of carrvin" 4 000 passenger-. They are light of !ra'ft, and by iar the most comfortable and safe in rouch weather. iue "whaleback" is the boat of uoa-s ior iai.es anu canals, and the moment a canal is constructed with 20 or 21 feet of waier, vessels ior ineir navigation will be built with a capacity of from C,000 to 8 000 tons which will pass through them with'out difficulty. "onIcl lie lald for In a Ypr. Mr. Thompson's clinching argument in answer to objections raised against the ira- nene cost of this canal is that the savin" in the coat of transportation in a single year would much more than pay the entire excene of construction, aud a'dded to this would be the incalculable advantage of a means of reaching the lake? with war vessels in case of trouble with Great Britain or the Dominion Government The chief opponent of this great project is the Buflalo grain elevator monopoly -. Mr. Thompson docs not think that the rail- : ' roads, alter they reach an uedcrstandin-- of the matter, will make any formidable op position. He cites the case of the railroads skirting the Main river from Frankfurt to Maycnce, in Germany. A few years ago Frankfurt found herindustries drifting into a condition of stagnation and accomplished the deepening of the Main river to be used as a ship canaL Not only did the water traffic increase enormously, but the rail roads on each side increased their volume of transportation moic than 40 per cent the first year and upwards of 50 per cent the second. Mr. Thompson asserts that every railroad in. the country would be benefited if it were paralleled by a canal. Lightneb. DEATHS HERE AXD ELSEWHERE. Dr. Basil 3Ianlr.
