west and all but 5000, 900 bushels was
shipped to New York via the Erie
canal. In 1850 the canal carried only
1000, 600 of the 1O5. 600, 600 bushels of
grain received at Buffalo. Last wear
the grain shipments from Buffalo by Ca
nal We're a little more than 81 600. 900 out
of 5000 900 received at that port.
Note the falling off. 1t is astound-
ing. Private corporations are getting
the upper hand Of the state. One result
is inevitable. The canals must be main
tanned properly OF with constantly di-
minishing traffic the time will come
when they will have to be abandoned"
Captain Clark's reference to the great
Canadian canal system" is worthy of
note, for the system is in fact a great
one. 1t owes much to the efforts of
William Hamilton Merritt, who can
justly be termed the De Witt Clinton of
the Dominion. 1t was in 1923 that Mer-
rift and his associates subscribed the
money to begin the work on that mag
nificent triumph of engineering now
known as the Welland canal, which
Overcomes the obstacle of Niagara falls
and connects the great lakes of Erie and
Ontario.
In connection with the coming cele-
bration many things Of practical impor-
lance will be discussed, chief among
them the questions of speed and carry
ing capacity. 1t would appear that the
days Of mule power and towpaths are
passing away, and in their place the
feasibility of steam, electricity and
traction cables is being considered. The
widening and deepening of these arti-
fetal waterways naturally call for
bigger boats, heavier cargoes and greater
powers Of propulsion. What the de-
cision may be one can hardly anticipate,
but it is safe to predict, as before re-
marked, that the second century of
canal enterprise in the United States
will dwarf the progress of its first
hundred years. FRED c. DAYTON.
