1t is reported that the Canadian govern
ment is considering plan to divert the
Niagara River away from its present
course, through Canadian territory, SC
rs to leave the Falls dry. 1t seems that
the Welland River, which flows into the
Niagara River, on the Canadian side,
about two miles above the Falls, flows
through channel so nearly level that
lutte dredging would make 1t serve as
canal, through which the water OF the
Niagara could be diverted if another out
fall were sprovided. This outfan it Is
proposed to secure by cutting a canal to
the Canadian bank of the Niagara River.
few miles below the Falls. 10 the
minds of some very competent engineers,
there is nothing inpracticable about the
scheme, but it is.,questionable whether in
ternational law will approve the diver
sion of the whole or part OF the boun-
Diary river. However this may. be there
is force in the suggestion of the American
Architect that it is unfortunate that the
two governments could not have joined
years ago, in reserving the entire district
about the Falls as an international park
but the encroachments which have al
ready been made on what should be pub
lie l,roperty do not render it necessary to
suffer Others: and it is not too late to de-
clare that the most impressive piece OF
scenery in the civilized world shall nc

The expected has happened on the
Klondike route. There are now scattered
along it hundreds of people without
means Of support and in imminent dan
ger of starvation. To send relief to them
is almost impossible and it seems inegi.
table that many of them will perish. The
situation that has now come
was foTeseen and the most
solemn warnings were given last
fall by government officials and by
private individuals who had been in the
Klondike region and knew its dangers.
But greed for gold blinded the eyes and
stopped the ears OF the emigrants to all
signs of danger and all warnings. They
are the victims of their own folly but
that makes their situation none the less
one that calls for the strongest efforts for
their relief.
