A Canal from Chicago Due West.
a subscriber at Dement, sends Us commu-
nication proposing canal from Chicago due
West to the Mississippi, instead of the enlarge
ment OF the Illinois and Michigan canal. A
fatal difficulty in the way of such an improve
ment is the height Of the ridges between
Lake Michigan and the Mississippi. Exactly
how high they are We know not; but it viii
be safe to say they arc from one to two hun
dIcd feet above any streams that could be
made availab1e to feed the summit. The
