THE proposition to unite the great
lakes with the seaboard by ship ca
nal has been agltated many years,
drew to its discussions those who have
given much attention to improve our
methods Of internal transportation.
Since Dewitt Clinton gave us the
Erie Canal engineers have pleaded
for an opportunity to enlarge it so
that ocean vessels could navigate it,
and thus be able to reach the ports
on our Western waterways. One plan
to accomplish this is to dredge the
upper Hudson 50 that vessels carry
ing twenty-one feet of water can
reach Albany. The Erie Canal would
have to be widened as well as deep
ened to admit the passage of ocean
craft to Lake Erie. The Detroit
River would have to be deepened, and
changes made at other shallow points.
A second plan is to construct canal
along the Niagara River from Buffalo
to Lake Ontario, and continue on to
Oswego. From here the Oswego ca
nal would be enlarged so that vessels
could pass through to Oneida Lake,
thence on to Rome, where the Mo-
hawk River could be utilized most OF
the distance to Troy. To make the
proposed changes would involve the
expenditure Of many millions, and
Uncle Sam is expected to foot the bill.
Congress has never encouraged the
ship canal business, and without its
aid it would be impossible to enlist
individual capital. Besides, the in
fiuence of the railroads, which is po-
tential in Congress and out, would be
arrayed against the measure. It's es-
tablshment would make serious in
roads on the roads between the At
lantic seaboard and the West, as
Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, and other points could
receive freight direct from Europe
without patronizing the railroads.
This would diminish earnings and
cheaper railroad Notwithstanding
that the stockholders and officers of
corporations would fight to the bitter
end.

THE wheat crop of Canada the past
year is estimated at 10000, 600 bush
els, or .one-tenth that of the United
States. Manitoba is credited with
$1,000, 900 and the farther west with
enough to leave one-half of the
production for the eastern portion Of
the country. The total was at first
estimated at only 4S,000,0 600 bushels,
but the thrashing returns were such
an agreeable Disappointment that 20
per cent. was added to the original
figures. The total is large one, bu t
is far from measuring the possibilities
Of Canada as wheat producer in
case the world should find itself in
danger of running short in the sup
ply from other sections. So long as
| plenty can be looked for in ordinarily
good seasons elsewhere, the severe
climate in the western part Of the
Dominion may prevent much extern
sion of wheat culture there. Adding
together the big and the little the
wheat production OF the northern
half OF this continent is found to be
fully one-third that Of the whole
globe, pretty large proportion, and
especially when it is remembered that
it is only few years since North
America began to rise towards that
important position of feeding one
third the wheat-eaters Of the world.
Plenty Of people are now alive in
whose day the United States barely
raised enough wheat for home con-
sumption by the relatively small
population of their childhood. Now
the United States uses up close to
1000, 900 bushels per day and has ex-
ported to Europe at nearly that rate
during several weeks since our last
crop was gathered in.

I'm the Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder
and kidney complaints Is when the organs
concerned exhibit a tendency to grow Inactive.
The healthful impulse toward activity that they
receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues
them from impending danger, and averts such
dangerous maladles as BrIght's disease and dia-
betes. Slugglshness of the kidneys Increases a
liability to chronic rheumatism, govt and dropsy
and since the blood is filtered by these organs In
the bitteTs serves a doubly happy purpose.
The medicine acts without exciting like the
fiery stimulants Of commerce. Malarial, dys-
peptic, constipated and nervous inyalids are
thoroughly relieved by 1t. Since the advent
OF that shocking malady, Ia grippe 1t has been
widely demonstrating its usefulness as cura-
tive and preventive Of 1t.
