600; Delaware. s2,3S7, 900; Massachusetts,
$1,000, 600; Illinois, lows and Louisiana
are put down at about 81, 600, 0O) each;

ten States. insignificant rivers and
creeks along the Lake line in the North
that are scarcely known to geographers,
and entirely unknown to the world, have
received in the aggregate millions of dol
lars, while the Mississippi. which is great
or than a thOusand-Of them put together, |
and floats a commerce greater than that
of all the lakes, has not received enough
TO dredge its bars and remoYe its snags.
