The captain men enters into cOnpre-
hensive description of the fficuties en-
counlered by the engineers in locating the
canal and the contests raise By private
interests, and SUI mits in full great mass
of official correspondence between Capt.
Wheeler and himself. and also between
himself and bis superiors. and also map
of the canal.
Under the head of general remarks
Capt. Marshall says;
This canal is designed as a cut off or
short route from the upper Mississippi TO
Lake Michigan in connection with the
pre- sent existing water lines, or with i'm
proved routes of greater capacity that
have been contemplated for years.
The existing rou'e is O) via Illinois
and Missi. sippi canal 81 miles o La Sale;
(2) Illinois river from L. Sale to its
mouth at the Mississippi river, 223
miles; 81 mouth of the Illinois to Rock
river, 2S7 miles.
The present water route from the Chs
csao at Bridgeport to the mouth Of Rock
river IS, as shown, 607 miles. while by
the way of the proposed Illinois and MIS-
sissippi canal will be 1873 miles on,y,
saving in distance from Lake Michigan
by water to all points on the MISSISSIPPI
river above the mouth of Rock river OF
4l9 miles over existing water routes.
The rou'e via The proposed canal Will De
shorter than via the Illinois river 10 all
points on the Mississippi above point
rs miles by water above the noun OF the
Illinois, aud $50 miles below the mouth
of Rock river. Above the mouth or
Rock river TO st. Paul are 401 miles OF
river uavIgation, so that the proposed
canal as cut off will shorten the dis"
tsnce from Lake Michigan by water TO all
points along tie upper Mississippi LOT
6I0 miles OF its length.
The Illinois river for IA miles selow
L .Salle forms one link in the proposed
water route, but the rest II the distance
81 miles from LsSalle TO Chicago, the
route is continued by the Illinois snd
Michigan cana. work OF much less
capacity than he proposed canal. Boats
OF the fun capo city o. ;be locks OF the
Illinois and Mississippi canal must stop
It L4Salle and transfer nsrgo TO the less
capacious boats Of the Illinsis and Mich
igsn canal.
To secure, II erefore, the full benefits
OF the propo: ei canal. the water route
from Chicago to LaSalle must be en-
larged, or the oapacious channel now be-
ing constructed on the lower ILLINOIS
river must be extended to Chicago via
the Illinois and Des PLANES valley and by
cut across the Chicago divide. Without
snch works the Illinois and Mississippi
canal will be Of comparatively small sig
