Members of the Committee Arrive
at Detroit From Down the
Saint Ste. Marie.
SCHEME TO DEEPEN ST. MARYS RIVER,
No Question as tothe Practleability Of
Establishing Canal From the
Lakes to the Atlantic.
Two Surveys Have Already Been Made to
Connect Lakes Erie and Ontario,
p Both on the American Side
of the Niagara River.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 9.-Chairman
George Y. Wisner and Col. Charles W..
Raymond, of the deep waterways
committee, arrived down from Sault
Ste. Marie Monday evening, where
they had been making data for esti-
mates of the cost of constructing a
new and larger lock with a depth of
80 feet, and of deepenings portions of
the St. Marys river Estimates of
these improvements will be included
in the report which the committee is
preparing for submission to the war
department and, eventually, to con-
gress. Col. Raymond continued east
ward TO his post at Philadelphia.
Speaking of the progress of the
work of demonstrating as to the feasi-
bility of and estimating the costof a
deep water channel from the lakes to
the Atlantic ocean, Mr.. Wisner stated
Monday night that the data obtained
since the commissions appointed two
months ago is being rapidly compiled
in this city by the principal engineers
who made the Investigations in the
field. He anticipates that the report
of the commission will be made by
January. There is no question, Mr..
Wisner said as to the practicability OF
constructing the waterway and with
ample supply Of water for the depth
required 1t will rest with congress
as to whether the requirements Of com
merce between the northwest and the
Atlantic will Justify the expenditure.
Mr.. Wisner would hazard no opinion
yet as to the probable cost of q chan
mel, either by way of the oswego No
hawk or the st, wrence-Champlain
route. The commissions estimates
will be for channels of 81 and 80 feet
depths and will include the features OF
deepening the rivers connecting the
great lakes, where necessary, in con
junction with the general scheme.
The question of regulation of lake
levels must also be taken into consid'
Grafton.
Two surveys have been made to con
meet Lakes Erie and Ontario, both on
the American side of Niagara river,
the utilization of the present Welland
canal, on the Canadian side, not being
contemplated, since new canal could
be more cheaply constructed around
the Niagara.
1t is expected that Mr.. Wisner anG
Col. Raymond will formulate the de
tails Of the report which will be re
viewed and subscribed to also by Com
missioner Noble, who is now engaged
on the work Of the Isthmian canal pro
ject The commission is not to make
recommendations but will report'upor
the situation and submit estimates o
cost of the waterways.

IMITATION
IS THE
SinCGlGSt FlattGFy.

We do not wish to be fiattered as
some of our imitators ar doing. A
great many people, merchants as well,
get the idea because,a price Is Low the
quality OF the goods must be poor, and
they try to impress this upon their
customers and induce them to pay
nighsprices or take poor quality in
competition with our. goods at low
prices. 1t shows that they either be-
lieve we sell these poor goods at the
prices we quote or they are under the
impression they can compete and hold
their trade by foisbing off an inferior
quality and make believe that it is the
quality we sell at the Low Prices we
quote. We wish to put our customers
on their guard against the houses
who use these methods. When they say
that good goods can't be sold at such
low prices as we quote, come without
delay and you will find everything just
as we advertise. Those who do not
deal regularly with us may believe
some OF these outside imitators, but if
you wish TO get real bargains, come to
the only bargain store, where every
price is bargain price. We have 26
Departments OF goods to select from,
arate store, all under one management.
Our buyers are on the lookout all the
time for good goods that can be
bought under the marKet values.
Some seasons Of the year we can Sc
cure some landslides that are beyond
! the whisper of competition and we
throw them on our counters at small
advance above the cost, it appears i'm
possible that good goods can be sold so
cheap. Call and see some of the many
good things we have to offer this
week

\ Few Timely Pointers.

The up-to-date farmer has learned the
wisdom Of doing his own thinking, and
in selecting binder or mower to weigh
carefully the actual points of superiority
and to avoid mere talking or selling"
points, The life of a machine depends
largely on its main frame, which should
be solid enough to outWear the working

itself to pieces through it's own inertia.
The Deering Ideal Binder has a high
carbon steel frame, hot-riveted at the
