graphed from Santa Fe, New Mexico The
| popular eccesiastic is suffering from dan

Looked for Improvements-T
Georgetown correspondent Of the Washing
ton Star, under date of November 81 says:
"There are many indications leading up
ito the belief that the transportation com
pany organized some time ago for the pur-
pose of facilitating, enlarging and i'm
proving the Chesapeake snd Ohio canal
trade will begin to operate early next
spring. The past season has shown so con
clusively that the canal when properly
managed is paying affair that the pro-
moters of the transportation company have
decided to delay now no longer than is alb
solutely necessary to make and perfect
arrangements Whether electric or mule
power will be used is now under considera-
ton Should the transportation company
decide to use the electric power, the trustees
of the canal, it is understood, are to furnish
the wires and appliances, either expert
mental or permanent. The transportation
company, however, is not TO possess exclu-
sive rights over the canal trade.
1t is claimed by an officer of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal that it would take
three millions of dollars to electrically equip
the commercial highway. To newly equip

diture would be necessary. This great diff
ference seems 10 be no object to the trans
portaton men, as in spite Of all figures ex'
hbited by old canal men, they believe the
improvement will be paying one. The
canal under the most favorable conditions
can admit OF the passage of but 100000
tons of coal year through the locks. Two
hundred boats OF the present capacity can
accomplish this end readily"
