Capitalists' Project for . Channel From
Lake Erie to the ses.
OTTAWA, March 22.-There is Q bill be.
fore the Dominion parliament to incorpor-
ate tho North American Canal Company,
backed BY American and Canadian capital
lists, with q capital of $40 0OO, 600 The OBJ
ject Of the company il to build wide, deep
channel. with the fewest possible locks,
between Lake Erie and the seaboard. This
canal would be SO wide and deep that tho
largest steam vessels could steam through
IL at full speed. There will be seven locks
between Lake Erie and the terminals, and
but four between Montreal and New York.
and the locks would move two vessels at the
same time, one ascending and the other
descending. 1t is proposed to obtain q
charter from the state of New York and
make q canal from Lake Champlain to tide
water in the Hudson river. No United
States charter will be required, as the work
will be entirely within the state of New
York.
A vessel leaving Lake Erie would de-
scend TO Niagara and Lake st. Francis,
pass through the Chateauguay and St.
Louis sections and the Lake ST. Louis and
Lachine canal TO Montreal. Her time
would be sixty-two hours. If destined for
New York her total time would DO sixtv
hours and she would continue southerly
on her course via the Chateauguay section
At Lake Champaign and the Hudson canal
and river.
