1t is a good deal of mystery where
the money is to come from to build the
Lake Washington canal. The Seattle peo-
PIE have been made to believe that "st'
Louis capitalists" we're furnishing the
means for the enterprise, but as has
been before suggested In these columns
st. Louis people are not wont to invest
money in much needed enterprises or
that kind at home. That the money is
not coming from ST. Louis is eonelu-
sisely proved by the following item from
the Giobe-Democrat. the best Informed
authority extant as to all that trans
plres In that city:
The city OF Seattle, Wash, lies be-
tween salt water and beautiful fresh

three to I'VE miles wide. The distance
between tidewater and the lake is four

The Importance of looking ahead is IL
ustrated by an item that will be noticed
in our marine columnss this morning
referring to action about to be taken by
the Canadian government concerning the
Chicago drainage canal. The Chicago
River, which receives the drainage Of the
city, flows into Lake Michigan, from
which the city takes its water supply
If It could be made to flow away from
the lake the pollution of the water would
be avoided and the river would be still
usefui to commerce. And this is what
has been done. By cutting a canal
through the divide which surrounds the
lake basin, the current of the river is
reversed and 1t is conducted toward
the Mississippi.
This Is a magnificent scheme and has
justly excited great admiration. But, as
Its execution advanced, the fact be-
gan to be realized that the canal would
not only drain the Chicago river sewers
but would also drain Lake Michigan, and
through 1t the whole lake system. United
States engineers who have examined the
matter estimate that the average flow
of the canal would reduce the level OF
water In the lake by six inches. The
minimum Is three inches and the maxi
mum may be nine inches. This will not
only make a difference along the water
front Of all lake ports but will mater
ially diminish the carrying capacity OF
the vessels employed in lake commerce.
late computation puts the loss to
the present fleet from this cause at
over a million dollars a year.
1t is assumed that the lowering of the
water level wifi extend to Lake Erie
and the fear is now expressed that It will
so diminish the supply to the Erie canal
as to seriously impair it's usefulness. A
difference Of six inches in the depth OF
water In the canal, 1t can readily be
seen, would be very serious thing, in
deed
or course these predictions and fears
expressed by the Canadian government
and American shippers with interests on
the lakes may be exaggerated and are
mainly conjectural The level of the
lakes varies materially in the course of
4 season and exact calculations are hard
ly possible. But 1t requires no stretch
of imagination to perceive that the diver
sion Of part of the water of the great
lakes into the Mississippi involves very
much more than the disposal of big
city's sewerage,
The Chicago men seem not to have
thought OF that. Intent upon their own
immediate problem, they did not look be-
yond 1t. and are only now beginning to
perceive the possibly extensive results
of their undertaking. The report Of the
engineers on the subject intImates that
this canal may involve considerations OF
such Importance to national and inter-
national commerce as to compel the
cognizance of Federal authority,
