THE CANAL ROUTES.
Mai. ". u. Marshall Talks About Them
and the Work In Progress.

and the Work In Progress.
There is no controversy exist
ing whatever over canal routes.
SO far as / am permitted to Judge, "
said Mai. W. II. Marshall to an
Argus representative at the Harper
this morning. There is no differ
ence of opinion as to routes" he con-
tinued. for the simple reason that
there is nothing to base varying
sentiments upon. We can't begin to
talk about routes until the SURVEYS
are completed. Then the most feas-
ible one will develop and will be
adopted regardless of whatever con-
tending interests may arise at the
time. What have been attempting
TO do is 10 convince your people out
here that l have no coal mines. and
have no relations that have coal land
anywhere either near TO, or remote
from the section of the country
through which any line of the canal
NAV run. And Furthermore, there
isn't, so far as l can ascertain, any
more coal in any one part Of the
country around there that is capable
of extensive future development than
there is another. l have always
considered the entire state Of Illinois
"a coal field, but in the immediate
vicinity of the canal surveys anv
line chosen will reach as good min
ing lands as any other.
About the Rock !:iyer
There has been considerable said
about the Improvement Of the Rock
river channel, and some papers have
been free to condemn we for not
pushing the matter. Now the SIM
pie facts Of the case are that the work
cannot be done without dredgcs, and
ldredges cannot be taken where they
will do any good until the Moline
! bridge case is decided. / will have
the dredges, and am off now to LYONS
where they are teing built to look
after them, but cannot do anvthing
with them until l can get through
the bridge. and until this bridge
question is settled"
The Gcneseo News. speaking OF the
charges that have been made con-
corning Nal. Marshall's interests in
coal lands. says:
MAJ. Marshall, chief of engineers
of the Hennepin canal, has been con-
fused in the press. the News among
the rest. with Capt. Marshall, father
Of DR.. Marshall, of Geneseo. In JUS
tice to the major. he should be re-
lievcd of the charge of owning coal
land on Rock river, also Of being the
father of The doctor. Both bearing
military titles, and both being named
Marshall, doubtless led to the error.
We have them sorted now, and here
after there will be no mistake"
