uppER ILLINOIS AND PROPOSED

oFrh" llbiNolS AND PROPOSED CANAL
U
As shown by the map, a water way al
ready extends from Chicago to Hennepin,
formed for 100 miles by the Illinois and
Michigan canal to La Sale; from the latter
point to Hennepin the Illinois river is util-
lied. Tho existing canal has been presented
to the government on the event of the bill
becoming a law. This canal, as we'll as the
Illinois river, will have to be widened and
deepened, but the great engineering work
will be on the locks necessary in the pro-
posed canal. as there are two elevations, one
of POS feet and another of 40 feet in the line
of the canal, and over which the
will have to be carried.
This canal is to be free, and it is expected
that. Offering from st. Paul, Minneapolis
and the great grain growing section. an all
water route to Chicago and through the
lakes and Erie canal to New York, that 1t
will be a beneficial competitor TO the rail
roads.
