Local md Personal Notes of the
WeeE-.Tbc Canal Repairs.
Northwestern Miller: Matters move along
in the old rut, as relating to the repairs on
the canal The iron framework Of the
covering of the canal has been put up for
distance of 800 or 400 feet, and If that was
only the most difficult part of the job. as
has been supposed by many, there would be
no fear about the work not being finished
soon enough. The blasting has reached
poNt near tine middle of the canal. but the
stone is not removed very fast after being
broken up. The tearing away of Old
structures in the way at the upper end of
the canal is going on this week, and as the
dam has been finished, eXeavating has been
commenced at that point, though with
small force. Those willing to risk their
reputation prognOsticating as to the date
when the canal will again resume its normal
state, place it at Sept. /, or later.
