TIE GULF COAST CANAL.
Galveston News.

0dlNtclOn NGNs.
Velasco, Brazoria, Co., Tex, Feb.
21.-The News man caught Oscar
NJ. Springer, Esq, Of Detroit, Mich,
one of the Gulf Coast canal and ma
vigat1on company, this morning at
Hotel Velasco, and in answer to
questions concerning the work Mr..
Springer said: Il am here with Mr.
L. +. Tarsney and c. ii. IIubbell of
Detroit and Geo. II. Wreford of Dali
las. Mr.. Hubbell is of an old dredge
firm and is figuring on the work of
dredging, while Mr.. Tarsney has had
great experience in steamboating'
Our company proposes to make a
preliminary survey, to begin within
the next thirty days, and as soon
thereafter as matters can be gotten
in shape we shall let contract for
at least a part of the work. The first
dredging will be from the Brazos
river to Galveston West bay, and as
the dredges are now ready, this work
will start within sixty days from
signing the contracts"
1t was also learned that the propo-
sed canal is TO be seventy-five wide
and not less than eight feet deep.
This will be an abundance of depth
for large sized river steamers, which
will be put on as fast as channel is
opened. The work, after opening up
the Galveston end, will extend on to
San Bernard river, and from there to
Cedar lake, and on to Matagorda bay
where, practically, the heavy dredg-
ing will be finished.
The party leaves today for Corpus
Christi, where their steam yacht
Argo.is now awaiting them, and will
return here and 90 on to Galveston
So far as they have seen the people
they have been very much encour-
aged. The canal will be a great
thing for the coast country, as it will
open up a section which cannot be
reached either by railroads or out.
side navigation, and will give an i'm
mense district transportation of the
cheapest kind to the gulf ports.

20 feet wide and slightly elevated
in the middle, SO as to drain gently
to both sides. Drills for receiving
the seeds of onions are then placed
at right angle TO the length of the
beds and 10 inches apart. Whether
in the row method or in the bed
method, the seed is sown in the
drills so as to have three or four
seeds to each inch in length, and are
covered with light soil, about one
half to three-fourths inches deep
Sets are placed about a hands
breadth apart, large onions (multi-
pliers twice this width, and cover
ed so as to hide the bulb. The onion
requires the richest, best prepared
soil in the field or garden, and sue
