to the writer some facts regarding the ca.

being the case would Of course involve the
loss OF considerable time in unmaking and
making up Of tows. y.
"How about the capacity OF this lock 10

asked.

fat on the bottom, and boats needn't use
the lock unless they insist upon doing so.
This fact is persistently ignored by some
Of the coal men, who seem TO be determin-
ed to pass through the lock whether the
dam Is up or down. Now as to the capacity
