# we Knew.

If we knew the woe and heartache
 Waiting for us down the road. If our lips can taste the wormwood.
 If our backs could feel the load, Would we waste the day in wishing
 For a time that ne'er can be; Would we walt Tn such impatience
 For our ships to come from sea? If we knew the baby fingers
 Pressed against the window-pane. Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
 Never trouble us again Would the bright eyes Of our darling
 Catch the frown upon our brow, Would the print Of rosy fingers
 Vex us then as they do now? Alb, these little ice-cold fingers,
 How they point our m einories back To the hasty words and actions
 Strewn along our backward track! How those little haruls remind us,
 As in snowy grace they lie, Not to scatter thorns-but roses-
 For our reeping by and by. SlIduke we never piiAc lue music
 Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown: Strange that we should slight the violets Till the lovely flowers are gone; Strange that summer skies and sunshine Never seem Une-half so fair AS when winters snowy pinions
 Shake their white down in the air, Lips from which the seal Of silence
 None but God can roll away, Never blosSomed in such beauty
 As adogns the month today; And sweet words that freight our memory With their beautiful perfume, Come to us in sweeter accents,
 Through the portals of the tomb. Let us gather up the sunbeams,
 Lying all around our path; Let Hs keep the wheat and roses;
 Casting out the thorDs and ohaf; Let Us find our sweetest comfort
 h the blessings Of today, With patient hand removing
 All the briars from our way.

 The amount of ties accommodating al the front must be enormous; almost daily In extra train of twenty car loads of them rushes through here, followed by the regular train with ten or twelve car loads more; the load is 250 ties . $500 ties per day counts up rapidly.

OUR CANAL IN CONGRESS.

Congressman Hayes, of this district, SENDS
as copy of his speech delivered in Congress,
on the 9th inst, in support of bill introduced
by himself to appropriate S5OO,OO0 to be eX
pended during the current year upon the i'm
provemcnt Of the Illinois river. He prcfuces
his speech by stating that having failed to get
the committee on Commerce to insert an ap
preparation of $500, 600 for the Illinois river in
the river and harbor bill, he therefore comes
with the measure before the house. The speech
Is well gotten up, presents the claim of the H.
linOis river and canal TO Latonal regard iorci
bly, and had it been delivered to some such
body as our board OF otsupervisors instead of the
National House Of Representatives, might have
mad some effect. But of course every body
knows the iutllily Of spcechifyinc in congress
to accomplish any such object as Mr.. Hayes
had IN view. The facts embodied in his speech
however, are important, and may have Their
due weight some day when the subjcc. comes
before some committee TO be investigated and
hlalured, rs all great matters are usually nves
tigated, weighed and matured before either
house is asked 70 vote upon them.
In speaking of the proposed canal and river
improvement however, we think Mr.. Hayes
weakcns his case by takingth estimates of is
cost from the report Of Gen Wilson made in
1867 Those estimates were made, in the first
place, IN II time Of extreme high prices, and
secondly contemplate much more extensive
work than is necessary, Gen. Wilson places
the cost Of the necessary dams in the river ia
make 1t navigable 10 Joliet, and then to enlarge
the canal to Chicago, At S1S,2l7,243. VIM. 4
"oollng, an engineer much better posted on
the subjact estimated the cost of the same i'm.
proVement' year or two earlier, at some $13,.
100000; and since then S3,OOOOOO have been
expended on the deep cut between Lockpor,
ana Chicago and 81 100000 on dams in tbe
river 50 that according TO Goodinr's ideas
the additional cost TO complete the work ought
not TO be over S9O0O000. 1t is better IN pre-
senting case Of this kind to congress. not ia
scare members by an unnecessarily formidable
array Of figures.
III VIII depend, however, good deal upon
how the work Is done. Should congress vote
100000, for instance, for a dam at Beards,own
to be expended under the supervision of the
state, with provision that the state shall nav
whatever said 100000 fall short To complete
ihe work, we have no doubt the dam would bc
built with the 100000 and leave a surplus
But if the work is done under the supervision
of L. 5. engineers, with the usual rings of gov
eminent contractors and official cormorgnrs and
spoils mongers 10 satisfy, S500,OOO would hard
ly suffice to make the necessary and unncces
sary surveys, and to prepare plans, specfica
lions and profiles

ARE CANALS PLAYED OUT,

For about half OF last years season Of navi
CATION the New York canals were placed un
der the sole control Of IIoratio Seymour, jr.
as state engineer, who recently laid his first re-
port before the legislature at Albany. The
report IS commended by the New York press
generally as document of the Highest merit
reminding one" rs the n. Y, Sun says "ot
the papers on the same subject by Gov Sey.
mour and Gov Tildcn, who had mastered more
thoroughly than any of their predecessors the
vital problem of lntercommuncation between
the Great West and the cities of the Atlantic
seaboard."
Mr. seymour airmS that the opinion held
by many that canals and water routes have lost
their value for internal commerce has proved
to be untounded. Never in the history of the
country have they been Of greater utility. The
Erie and Oswcgo canals have carried more
grain the past year than ever before except IN
the years 1861, 1862, and 1862 when, during
the war Of the rebellion, many other routes
were closed This has been done in the face
of the lowest prices ever charged by the rail
roads
OF late years, says Mr.. Seymour, the vicious
policy has been pursued 10y the railroads to
make their profits by combinations and not by
competition. They do not rely SO much upon
the amount they carry rs upon the high rat,
OF their charges. Their enterprises are made
profitable at the public expense. In the way
they are managed, the more railroads we have
the greater will be the prices for transportation
This system defeats the very end for which
they were Incorporated, and the objects sought
when the State gave up its right TO charge can
al tolls upon some of them. The water rout,
has, for two summers. ciiec,ually checked thi,
system.
A. Il result the reduced cost OF carrying our
products TO the markets of the world has turn
ed the balance of trade in favor Of the United
State. The currency of the country has been
lifted To a par with specie. All casse. OF uul
population cherish warmer hopes OF more pros
porous times. But for our canal and waite,
routes we would not have had such volum,
of exports, nor such a margin in favor of ouI
commerce. During the past year We have seen
what has never happened before, the largest
exports with the lowest prices for carrying II
We can hold To this cheap transportation, new
life will BIZ given TO all kinds of business.
] Railroad directors are trustees for stockhold
ers, and in order to make the best profits. they
always put up their rates when the canals ar,
closed in winter far beyond any increase that
the season can make in the cost of their bust
ness On the other hand, the Legislature and
public officers are trustees for the people, and
The Ottawa free trader., 1879-02-22

Committees from all along the line of the
canal met with committee Of the city council
of Chicago Mayor Heath, city engineer Ches
brough and others, on Wednesday, at Chlca,
60, to talk over the matter OF the Chicago river
stink at present flowing this way and poison
and the air in their vicinity. There was a great
deal Of talk pro and con, but nothing deter.
mined upon. 1t was stated that about !, 100000
pounds a day Of Chicago filth is flowing into
the river and that most OF it will come this
way until the completion OF the Fullerton ave.
nue. conduit which it is hoped will turn the
current towards the lake.
