Another OLd Srttler Gone.

At 4 a. IN. on yesterday, January %, 1885,
at his residence in this city, Isaac Marks,
one of the earliest settlers o.. Mankato, and in
fact of Mini esota, died Of hemorrhage of the
lungs. Mr.. Marks was born on January
%, 1923, and was consequently just sixty
two years OF age. He had been many years
affl .cted with asthma and had several hem
orrhages prior 10 the one which termin ated so
fatally. He was in ordinary health, how
ever, and remarked upon his approaching
birthday, the evening before his death. His
atteudeut was aroused by his situation at the
hour named and FASTENED for DIR. Harring-
ton but upon his arrival death had ensued
and it was plain that the flow of blood had
been so rapid and intense as 10 produce
strangulation.
Mr.. Marks came to Minnesota in lS4S
with the Winnebago Indians, who We're
placed on reservation at Long Prairie or
Watch as it has since been called. Here he
acted as Indian trader in company with
| one Asa White under the firm name Of
White g. Marks and for many years was well
known in St. Paul. In 1855 the Indians
were again removed to Wnnebago
agency, twelve miles from Mankato,
where the firm still continued
as Indian traders. Mr.. White
continuing at the agency while Mr. Marks
conducted the store at Mankato which they
had opened upon their arrival here. In 1851
they built the stone three story building In
! block IA, now occupied as Fowler's auction
store, aud which was in its day a palace Of
its kind. When the change of admipistra.
ton came 1860, the position OF Indian trader
which WAS largely political tit0it, was re-
served for some Republican friend of Lin
coins administration and White & Mark.

Of his death. For many years he has beer

The sanlt Ste Marie Canal.

Especial Telegram 70 tne Glooe.i
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The secretary of
war has sent to congress a report from Lieut..
Col. Poe, Of the engineers, regarding the
Sault Ste Marie canal, In which be says: I'll
was stated that the commerce through the
canal during 1888 was 6, O42. 295 tons (regis-
tered, that the annual increase in tonnage
for fifteen years had been quite
uniform, averaging 1,073 100 tons a year,
that only IL per cent OF the vessels passi ng
the canal during 1888 were Of sufficiently
light draft to admit of their passing through
the old locks, and that II these figures were
maintained for eight years the present lock-
age system, although in constant operation I,
would be insufficient 10 take care OF the ship
ping. We now have complete returns for
the season of 1884, and the annual increase
in tonnage has not only been
maintained bat largely exceeds. That
is TO say, the regi rcd tonnage passing
through the canal during the season of 1884,
was 9, 997, s37 tons, an increase of 915,57s
tons, or nine times the average increase Tor
the preceding fifteen years, or, to state II
possibly with greater force, the increase in
1884 is equal TO the entire commerce through
the canal during the first five years 1t was
open TO navigation. Should this rate
of increase be maintained, the full capacity
Of the lockage system will be reached In -four
years instead OF in eight years, as estimated
in the an uual report. The increase in reg
istered coinage was a. per cent, in grain 81
per cent, in flour 50 per cent, and In iron
ore 43 per cent. but the facts adverted Il
do more than indicate the necessity for be-
gin ming the enlargement OF the canal a
the earliest date possible. Thel

against all propositions to fix 'he old lock-
for dry dock purposes, or to build dry doeI
anywhere In the immediate vicinity of tn
canal, to be operated Herewith. Auothe

work of enlargement recently completed
will be lost. On the contrary, 1t is just tina
