| ty. 212 are between thirty and forty, six
| ty-five are between forty and fifty, and
! thirty-fivc are over fifty one being past
| seventy. The net cash earnings Of the
| prison for 1893 was $130S4S2. and this

J. A. Chubb Of Detroit sends the Dis
patch a clipping from a Detroit paper
| containing an account of the scheme
to construct a big ship canal from Lake
| Erie to Michigan City. This scheme was
| recently reviewed by the Dispatch. but
| Mr.. Chubb also favOrs us with a Detroit
paper, the Journal containing "A COM
munication from y. j. Strong Of Fair
| field, Mich. who takes issue with those
who do not consider the project pracu-
cable. Mr.. Strong seems To know what
| he is talking about. He says: People in
southern Michigan who take issue with
| ex-senator Palmer on the ship canal
question are many. Your correspondent
| lived in Calhoun county when the old
| Quaker tried 10 get an appropriation 10
survey a ship canal across the state, but
| he wanted il to go through Battle Greek;
/ If not, he did not care for il. Now every
one acquainted with the geography of
the state saw such a route was not prac-
| ticable-land too high and uneven. But
| a survey from Michigan City to some
| point near Toledo, passing through the
| southern tier of counties. where land is
| comparatively level, would be a success
| Thirty years ago il used to be said that
there was property enough lost upon the
| upper lakes every ear to build a canal
across the state, TO say nothing of the
many lives lost. not reckoned to dollars.
| Though this may be an extravagant
statement yet it's worth our thought
| and earnest consideration. I think, TAX
| ing the average of weather during the
| running season. better time could be
made on a canal than through the upper
! lakes. to say nothing Of fuel saving. Then.
! again. captains need not be compelled
| to patronize the canal if they prefer to
| endanger life and property. One thing
| is certain, the canal could be passed in
all kinds of weather in perfect safety. OF
| course bridges would be a necessity, but
| yankees have way Of getting along
with such difficulties astOnishingly. l
think the time not distant when ship
canal will be thought a necessity. Look
| at the great ship canal from Liverpool
| to Manchester. through a very thickly
| settled country, which makes the latter
| city. thirty-five miles inland equal as
! a commercial point TO Liverpool. The
Suez canal was thought to be at the
| time of building a wonderful thing, and
it is SO will be the one across our
isthmus when completed. So let us not
| be discouraged. and don't let us fight
the project If it isn't likely to pass our
dwellings.-Michigan City Dispatch.
