Mr.. McCleary's Scheme for Great North
and south Waterway.
WASHINGTON, June 1l.-Representative
McCleary of Minnesota, who is a member
of the committee on railroads and canals,
has laid the foundation of u scheme to
connect the Gulf of Mexico with Hudson
bay. He proposes the United States SHALL
in con junction with the Canadian govern
ment, make preliminary survey. Mr..
McCleary's plan is to have the survey
made by way of the Minnesota river,
whose headwaters and those OF the Red
River of the North nearly join through
Big Stone and Traverse lakes.
In high water boats of considerable size
have crossed from one lake to the other
and it would not require very large
canal to connect the waters of the Red and
Minnesota rivers. While the difficulty of
connecting the Red and Minnesota rivers
is not great, it Is claimed that the rapids
i'm the Winnipeg river have always dis
couraged the Canadian government from
the undertaking, but Mr.. McCleary thinks
that if the United States should take
steps toward opening up a channel on this
side of the boundary the Canadian gov
ernment might be inclined to take some
action looking to opening the Winnipeg
river
