pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Representative
Cooper will shortly report from the commit
tee railways and canals his bill appro-
priating $4,000 for survey Of canal route
from the southern shores of Lake Michigan
to the Ohio river, below Evansville, by way
of the Wabash. The bill provides for the
appointment of a commission of officers of
the engineer corps of the army to make the
survey, the same bill having been intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Turpie. In his
report Mr.. Cooper will make no comparison
of the route he proposes with any other
route. but will confine himself to an argu-
ment in favor of his project. He will show
that his route is 400 miles shorter to the
gulf from Chicago than by way of the
Hennepin canal. and that the climatic con-
ditions are such that 1t will be open for
navigation two months in the year longer
than is the Hennepin canal. 1t would strike
the Mississippi at point where the depth
of water would allow the passage of vessels
drawing from eighteen to twenty feet of
water. Mr.. Cooper is sure that the ad-
vantages of the route are so great that the
canal will some day be built, as it passes
through that portion of the country which,
according to the last census, was the center
of population of the United States. He feels
there must some day be an outlet for the
vast lake commerce via The mississippi
river. sess
II there should be an opportunity, which is
not likely. during the short time that inter-
venes until the closing of Congress to bring
the bill to increase the appropriation for
a canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio river
up in the House for consideration, Mr.
Cooper expects that the committee on rail-
ways and canals will report his bill as an
amendment to the Lake Erie and Ohio
river canal bill. In this case, the commit
tee will support the proposition for the sur
yey of the routes for the two canals.
