THE ENLARGEMENT OF
THE WELHAND CANAL.

The work of charging the Welland
Canal throughout its entire extent is be-
ing pushed forward during the present
season with great rapidity. The present
size of the canal is ninety feet in width
at the water line and fifty at the bottom.
The enlarged size will be one hundred
and ninety feet on the water line and one
hundred feet at the bottom, and fourteen
feet deep, so that the improvement calls
for digging out more earth than did the
original canal. The present canal only
admits of the passage of vessels of per-
haps the third grade, which prevents, of
course, any very extended foreign or
ocean traffic by our lake vessels. The
enlargement in construction will permit
the passage of the largest size lake YES
sells, which will very largely stimulate
direct foreign importation and exporta-
ton from our lake ports. The new locks
are being built two hundred and seventy
one sect long and forty-five feet wide.
The cost of the entire improvement was
first estimated at $9,5OO,0OO, but the cost
will probably not be less than $4,000
600, for it is estimated that the Port Col
borne harbor improvement of itself will
not be less than $3,OOOOO0. To make
this Improvement of the highest COM
mercial value to the entire country, it
must be followed up by complete sys-
tenn of enlargement of the canals along
the st. Lawrence River, and this done,
the great problem of cheap transporta-
ton from the great grainaries of the
West to the consumers of Europe will
be nearly solved. Then will the grains
and products of this section of country
find their way to market in the cheapest
possible manner, and without tranship-
ment. Cheboygan, and well as other
lake ports, will be largely benefited by
this improvement, as it will do more than
any other one thing to revive the droop-
ing commerce of the lakes. Already
New York is commencing to appreciate
what the future effect will be. New
York fears that Montreal will secure
greater share of the grain trade than it
has had in the past, and what Montreal
gains New York expects to loose, and is
already trying to '.hedge" against it. But
it will probably not avail much, for grain
will find the cheapest way to market and
consumption, and this improvement will
make that way, via the great lakes and
st. Lawrence, to the sea. If New York
holds her own the cost of transportation
must 60 much lower than at present;
and in either case the West and North
west can view the contest unmoved, for
whichever way it goes they are sure to
receive the benefit.

The defeat of the Haryards at Saratoga
is handled very gingerly by the Boston
papers. The Post says: ''The race was
in 10 way easily won, but closely contest
ed to the very end. A distance of but
eleven seconds separated Cornell from
Columbia, and Harvard acas but one and
one half seconds behind the aoinners of
last gear which is far less Objectionable
than saying that Harvard was twelve and
a half seconds behind the winner of this
year. The Globe is equally tender con-
corning the Harvard feelings, and says:
ssProbably the greatest disappointment
of the day was that of the Yale men, and
the Harvards had almost as much salts
faction in fairly beating them and seeing
them come in behind five other crews as
they would have derived from victory,
with Yale second"

ACCORDING to Poor's Railroad Manual
for the present year, the twenty-four rail-
roads of Michigan operated in 1874 nearly
5000 miles (2.949), of main lines, and
over 500 of branches. They owned 517
locomotives, over 200 of which belong to
the Michigan Central Railroad. Asthere
were only 3S2 passenger cars, most of
these engines were employed in drawing
the 13,45S freight cars belonging to these
companies. This property is represented
by $46,005,9SS of capital stock, $76,574,-
800 of bonded debt and $10,365, $40 of
floating debt. Their total general liza
bilities were therefore $133, 006, 120, of
which one-third is represented by capital
and two-thirds by debt. The earnings
of all the roads but three the Grand
Trunk, the Michigan Lake Shore, and the
Hecla and Torch Lake. were in excess OF
their operating expenses. Only two roads
paid any dividend. These were the Grand
River Valley, five per cent, and the
Grand Trunk, four per cent. The cost
of equipments Of these twenty-four roads
amounted to $122,S3O,213. and during
1874 nearly four and half millions oil
passengers and nearly five millions tons
of freight were carried thirteen million
miles. In spite of the depression in bust
ness the tonnage of transportation for all
the States in 1874 exceeded that Of 1873
and the net earnings were greater; but
whether this applies to the railroads
of Michigan we have not the figures al
hand to show.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWELL has
decided to allow no assessments for pO-
litical purposes to be made upon the
clerks under his immediate charge, and
will not allow any employee to be dis
charged for failing to respond to an as
sessment. Good! That is long stride
toward civil service reform. Isn't it about
time the brass-collar papers were setting
up howl at Secretary Jewell?

If any bold adventures want to be-
come gold-diggers, they must seek some
other place than the Black Hills to find
it in paying quantities, for Prof Jenny,
the national geologist, who hassbeen for
some time in that section, says the best
yield he has seen is three-quarters of a
cent to the pan. This would not buy
one meal day for a gold-washer. The
Chicago Iater-Oceon has made futile
effort to arouse gold fever about this
forlOrn region.

CHARLES O'CoNoR, the great lawyer
who secured Tweed's conviction, has
written scorching letter reviewing the
recent decision of the New York court of
appeals by means of which Tweed was re-
Gently liberated. He says the decision of
the court is directly contrary to former
decision of the same court as now consti-
tuted, and gives the broadcast intimations
of his belief that the recent decision was
corruptly obtained. He also intimates
that steps will probably be taken looking
to the impeachment of the judges.

The Chicago Tribune has begun The
practice of quoting. the price of green
backs in goldinstead of the cost of golG
in greenbacks. Its leading daily edito
rial reads-"Greenbacks closed at S73I,'
varied from day to day by circumstances
This serves to show exactly what the
greenback is worth.

The following notice of recent
patent will be of interest to this
State, as every ingredient used in
the fux is found in abundance in
this State. We take the notice
from the - Scientific Press, which
says:
This invention, by P. n Mackay,
is an improvement in the fux for
treating ores, patented in Decem-
Der, 1878, by the same person.
The improvement consists in COM
bining the mineral crvolite with
the crude borax or any of the bor-
ates. silica and chloride of sodium,
claimed in the former patent, in
preparing the fux. For instance,
in purifying iron or steel contain
ing an excess of silicon, the in
ventor uses two per cent. of either
of the borates, two per cent. of
cryolite, and five per cent. of
chloride of sodium, mixed in
timately together as dry powder
and injected into the molten mass
through the tuyeres. In fact, this
invention consists in the addition
of from one to five per cent. of
cryolite to the fuXes described in
the former patent.
