plans have in contemplation the deep

to nine feet, and of the Champlain to
seven feet. where this can be done
without radical changes in the present
structures.
Single locks on the Erie and Oswego

Where there are a number of locks
IN series, or where separated by
short distances, the plan is to COM

lifting lock. save where such changes
are impracticable by reason of loca-
ton or surroundings.
BY this increase in the depth of the
canals and enlargement of the lockage
capacity it is expected the following
gains will be made:
The present loaded one boat is $40
tons; fifteen inches deeper immersion

CITY, at the same cost of transporta-
ton and with the same margin of

poatmen an increased margin of profit
on the seasons business amounting to
about 800, assuming that no additional
profit is made on west-bound freight"
New York has developed her rail-
road system to the full extent of all

UNFIT FOR READING.

IOWA Authorities Declare Against Dickens
and Scott. ~5::f#
The destruction of the literary works
of Dickens and Thackeray and Sir Wal
ter SCOTS Waverley novels as immoral,
obscene and unfit to be in a township
library, says Cedar Rapids dispatch,
may not be thought possible in this
great state of Iowa, with its 1900, 900
citizens, whose superior general intelli-
gence is acknowledged and admired
throughout civilization, and where the
degree of illiteracy is the smallest in
the entire world. But it is true--at
least different citizens of the commune
ty in and about which it happened make
positive declarations to that effect. ts
1t is said to have been done by the
township trustees Of Richland townships,
Dickinson county. Spirit Lake is IN
that township. The story goes that a
committee of two, named Wade and
Cushman, examined the works of the
great novelists, condemned them and
destroyed them as immoral. It seems
like dream, but the informants are
men Of character and prominence, and
it is believed to be safe to make the
statement that the books mentioned
were taken from the library and burned,
and that the Performers" went about
their work in the same spirit as did the
witch burners and the destroyers of early
Christians. st. Paul Pioneer

It has also proved that brainy man

appoint to high Office. The saloon clos
ing law Mr.. Roosevelt undertook to see
executed was none of his making. He did
not approve Of all its provisions, but he
was there to see it obeyed, and he did
see it obeyed. So favorably did he i'm
