The people OF the northwest have in

The people OF the northwest have in
view certain gigantic pro ects which
would greatly advantage trade If they
were consumm, tied. 1t is proposed that
an artificial river, 200 feet wide, shall
be constructed, which shall run from
Chicago southwest 10 the illinois river.
This would practically unite this Missis.
sippi and Lake Michigan. Then, again.
there is talk OF turning the trade OF the
Canadian northwest, southwark, to the
| nited States, by constructing a canal
TO connect Lake Winnipeg with Qua lake
system. The ed River of tho North,
which forms the boundary bet ween
Minnesota and Dakota, and which runs
north into lake " innipeg, IS nayigable
from fargo, il not from Breckenridge
A vessel would 60 west from AXE
Superior by tho II Louis river, cross
over the divide TO the Mississippi river.
follow that river up stream loO miles,
cross over TO ed AXE river. and &c
west on that TO the lied river at Grand
Forks, ID. 7. On this route a waterway
requiring less than ifty miles OF arti.
fetal canal could be constructed. This
would make a channel with six feet OF
water, which would connect the Missis.
sippi with the lake system and connect
both the lake systems with Lake Yin
nipeg. and the whole OF the Saskatche-
a and Hudson Bay country. This
scheme coutemplates the uniting o.
three basins, that OF Lake Superior, Of
the upper Mississippi, and OF the Win
nipeg river and lake. 1t will cost about
5000, 900 TO construct the canal, which
will be about as long a the erie canal
in New ! ORR.

The moon was on a bender" last
evening, and from 10 O'Clock until II
sported An elegant halo colored with tint4
not unlike Il irst-class rainbow. In some
climates the phenomenon would indicate a
storm, and sailors would begin to look
anxiously for squalls. But in Cheyenne
meteorological signs are far from infallible
guides, and a consultation Of the almanac
revealed only the fact that fair Luna
would be full at l:5s O'Clock on Monday.
