IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IL La SALLE.-
We learn that a company has been organized
at la Sale for the purpose f charging the
steamboat channel from the river 70 the canal
basin TO the width OF ninety feet The city
of La Sale agrees to compensate the com
pany by an appropriation of land lying i'm
mediately upon The channel and which will
be raise! above high water mark by the ex-
cayated earth. This Improvement is of vast
importance to La Sale, as it will afford am
pie scope for any amount of heavy business
near the water level. Heretofore the bust
ness has been crowded into too small space
for convenience and dispatch by the proximi-
ty of the high ground to the basin. Bust
ness will now spread Itself along the level
ground between the steamboat channel and
the bluff, and in very short time Peru and
La Sale will grow into each other and be-
come one city in name as they are really one
now in interest.
We learn that work has already been com
menced upon this improvement, and from
the character of those who are engaged in
the enterprise we are warranted in predict
ing that it will be carried forward with un
firing cncrgy.-Ch. Press.

The following. which we cut from the
Joliet Signal, is bat just tribute to an able
and faithful public officer:
Hon. J. McRoBERrs-W Were it not for tax
ing this gentleman from his present field OF
usefulness, the democracy of this section of
the State would present him to the State
convention for nomination for some Of the
State Offices. But his familiarity with the
affairs and management of the canal and his
fidelity to the interests of the people render
it highly important that he be retained in
the position in which he has proved of such
valuable service to the State.
Since Mr.. McRoberts' connection with the
canal as State Trustee, we have heard no
fault found with the manner in which that
great Improvement has been managed. There
has been a retrenchment in the expenditures
and everything is conducted with energy
and efficiency. So great is the confidence
of the bondholders' Trustees in the judgment
and honesty of Mr.. McRoberts, that most
matters Of importance concerning the canal
are submit I'd to him. In fact, he exercises
an influence in the Board never attained in
it before by any representative of the State.
These considerations should not be without
a bearing upon the people of Illinois. The
mismanagement of the canals in times past
admonish US of the improperly of changing
a man who has been tried and lot found
wanting for an untried one.
