DEEPWATER WAYS.
It Means Wealth to the Western
Farmer. II

Farmer.
With the ending of the year, the
various connecting channels between
the great lakes, Superior, Huron,
Michigan and Erie, will be practically
completed. They have been already Of
almost untold value to the farmers Of
the Northwest, because they have
made it possible to transport the crops
OF the West, at low rates, to the mar
kets of the East and Europe. Now
then, with the completion Of these
channels, the commerce of sixteen
states-a7 mighty volume-comes with.
unrestricted passage for perhaps a.
Thousand miles by water, and at eX-
tremely low freight to Buffalo, N. Y.
there to be transhipped and taken
across New York by rail, or canal, at
a high cost. The Northwestern farm
er now confronts the problem of get
ting a deepwater channel past Buff
falo, clear to New York City and the.
ocean. Please note the figures pre-
pared by an eminent authority, G.. n.
DuttOn, for the farmers study:
"Sixteen great states namely, Ohio Indi-
ana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan. Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska. Kansas,
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado must ship
their surplus agricultural products from the
great lakes to the seaboard. Deep water
navigation would affect an immediate re-
auction in freight costs and consequent in
crease In crop values Of an average cents

on hay and s. and upwards a ton on straw.

1t would seem that the men who
make and lose fortunes in day on
the New York stock exchange would
have all the gambling that their con-
stitutions could stand. They do, for
ten months In the year, but in the
other two-July and Augustine
lambs have gone elsewhere, and Wall
street is comparatively a dull place.
But the gambling appetite must be
fed. When the brokers are not losing
or winning thousands with other peo-

Oh a much smaller scale. They don't

experience has taught them that there
Is certain percentage against the
player. They gamble among them
selves for smaller stakes, where every
man has an equal chance of winning
and losing.
Common, ordinary games do not do
for the broker in his idle moments.
There must be a novelty to get them
interested, and to satisfy this craving
some mighty ingenious games have
been devised. There are few old
standbys, like matching pennies for
IS notes, which have stood the test Of
time, but the newest game is always
the most popular.
A certain Wall street light went to
Washington not long ago and there
discovered a game which has since
been introduced on the street with
great success. There is plenty of ex-
element in playing 1t, and it is abso-
lutely honest.
The electric fan is the means by
which the game is played. Some of
the fans have only four blades, others
have five and six blades. The six
blade fans are the most popular, even
when there are only four players.
