yond what they could attain by survey ing land. Yet it is stated that their en- gineering operations were accomplished with precision that would not be dis creditable to the most accomplished en- gineers of the present day, and to all three Of these men this waterway will be most impressive memorial as long as it is navigated. The Erie canal is 849.74 miles long, and its total cost was about $23, 900, 900, a vast sum to be expended by single state at that early period.
 Although the canal has always been an important factor, yet it's earliest years were undoubtedly its most glorious. Before the steam demon came to run with the swiftness of the wind along iron rails passengers as we'll as freight travelled on the Erie, and the packet boats of the thirties and forties were such craft as were never seen before and have never been seen since. They were long asd narrow, with sharp prows and high cabins, reaching from stem to stern. They were gayly painted on the outside and luxuriously furnished with i'll. They were drawn by two, four and sometimes six fast horses, showily har- messed and plumed, which were urged along the towpath at the top of their speed. Often the boats carried bands of music, and the ''good old days of the packets on the Erie were as character

 istic ill their way as the good old days on the western rivers, when most of the travel was done by water and the steam boats were floating palaces.
 Of course there were sometimes races between the packets, and once in awhile, old timers will tell you, the crews of competing boats used to fight in savage style, bloodying noses and blackening eyes ill great shape. Not always were the combatants satisfied with infiictlng personal injury, and there are legends still afloat of a battle royal few miles out of Buffalo, some 50 years ago, be- tween canalers employed by different packet lines, which resulted in the vir- tual destruction of two of the hand somest, swiftest craft on the canal.
 It was not an easy thing for those who had pinned all their faith to Clin- tons ditch to relinquish their hold upon the trade and passenger traffic when the railroads came; but, so far as the pas senger traffic was concerned, the fight against the railroads was short and final, with the locomotive ill the vic tors place. With regard to the carriage of freight, tile fight has been going on ever since, and of late years the canal has suffered grievously.
 Some 80 years ago it was believed that steam navigation of the canal could be so introduced as to quite restore it to its old use as freight highway, and many types of steamboats were invent ed with that end in view, among them being queer stern wheelers and bow wheelers, propellers and cable boats. Of these types some of the IrDpellers remain, but they are not Il numerous, and it has long been clear te every one that rejuvenation cannot come through steam. It is now proposed to introduce electricity, to be furnished by the power of Niagara chiefly, and it is believed that by next fall the force of the grand old cataract will be partially utilized, through the transmission of the mystic current to lately invented and strange little towing motor, built to run upon a cable stretched along the canal on IA foot poles.
 If this electrical motor shall do it's l work satisfactorily there seems to be lit tie doubt that eventually Clinton's ditch will be widened and deepened so as to be navigable for much larger boats than at present, and while it is hardly ex- pected that this will be done very soon, when it is accomplished a tremendous revolution will undoubtedly be wrought l in the transportation business between fife east and the west.
