CANAL TO ST. PAUL.
From Lake Superior to the SIissis
sippi.

From Lake Superior to the Missis-
sippi.
The chamber of commerce of St. Paul
asks that congress will cause a survey
to determine what, if any, practicable
line exists for canal with capacity for
barges and vessels that could navigate
the lakes to unite Lake Superior with
the Mississippi river at the Twin Cities.
AS showing the local benefits of canal,
there are in Ohio eighty-eight counties,
yet the twenty-seven counties crossed
by the Miami canal comprise more than
half the entire wealth or the state. The
water power furnished by the locks has
developed manufacturing industry en-
ployIng capital of over $50. 900. 600, the
water in nearly all cases returning to
the canal below the locks. Besides its
local benefits, the proposed canal would
be national work, because it would
unite the TWO greatest naYigable routes
in our country.

A MARKET SITE
Urged for Spot to Suit Produce
Dealers.

OOoACASs
Now that the question of locating the
city market is being agitated wish to
call attention to a location that has, be-
yond doubt, escaped attention. The
location referred to is the block bounded
by Broadway on the west, Fifth street
on the south, Pine street on the east,
and Sixth street on the north.
in locating our city market it is nee
essary to consider the convenience and
interests OF the parties most deeply con-
cerned, and in this case it is beyond
doubt the parties who buy the Yege-
tables sold on our city market.
The grocers buy over One-third of the
receipts, the shippers, or commission
merchants, over one half, and their in
terests are thus identical.
The location mentioned is not only
central, but is also directly in front of
and within few steps of the produce
exchange, where the grocers go daily to
buy fruit and produce.
By concentrating their entire trading
to one district, the location is made a
very desirable one for the grocer.
That 1t lisa location satisfactory to
shippers is beyond question. 1t brings
the goods within easy distance, and is
why INO UIoShS QlSldIll lTOtH the freight
depOtS, where the growers must deliver
the vegetables for shipment. The
growers east of the city reach this lOca-
ton via Third, Sixth and Seventh
streets; those north of the city via Mis-
sissippi street, and those west of the
city will soon have Broadway bridge,
and, consequently, all easy access to the
proposed market. The aforementioned
block, with the sidewalk room already
offered by the property owners, is large
enough to accommodate more growers
than Will ever frequent our market.
The Lafayette CIR passing directly in
front of this block, the Seventh street
cable within one block, and the FOu nth
street cable within one block gives
street car facilities amply sufficient to
accommodate the general public; and
by the selection of this location the
combined interests of the growers.
grocers and shippers are consulted and
satisfied. K. X. r.

NEED A MARKET HOUSE.
Such a Building Is as Necessary
as an Auditorium.

OuCn d DultQth2 rs as necessary
as an Auditorium.
While it is the duty Of every citizen
to aid as much as possible the estimable
men that were appointed to secure the
Democratic convention, nevertheless an
occasional suggestion may not be amiss.
The first thing to consider is a suitable
building, and great many seem to
favor remodehng the market house.
Now. is not a market house in city the
size of shiS just as necessary as an
auditorium? And if the present
is as Objectionable for market pur-
poses as some people try
to make it appear, would it not be well
for the city to secure shelter for the hun
dreds of gardeners that come here in
the summer to dispose of their products
before they talk of tearing down the
present building? To do away with
the present market would be an injury
to the business center of the city. as
people come here from all directions,
especially during summer months, and
dealers in all kinds of merchandise are
benefited by it. a market must be CEN
trally located for the convenience of
everybody. 1t is not absolutely neceS-
sary to have an auditorium in the heart
of the C: Y, AS it will probably be used
only on special occasions. Let us have
an auditorium built at once, but pre-
serve the old market.if for no other rea-
son than to show visitors next summer
the beautiful garden stntf raised in the
vicinity Of st. Paul. JOHN MCCABE.
