CONNORS HAS A SCHEME
ALL-WATER GRAIN ROUTE FROM
CHICAGO TO LIVERPOOL.
Plans Well Under Way for a Lake
and Ocean Line-Plan for Dams in
the Upper Niagara River.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-The Tribune says:

CHICAGO, Dec 1O-The Tribune says:
William j. Connors, of Buffalo, has
been in consultation here with some
of the largest grain shippers of Chi
cago regarding an all-water route for
grain to the seaboard. Montreal is to be
the seaboard terminal of the route, and a
Chicago architect is now working on plans
for the erection at Montreal or three eleva-
tors there with an aggregate capacity of
1900, 900 bushels. With these elevators there
is to be a fleet of new steamers 240 feet in
length, forty-three feet beam and drawing
fourteen feet of water through the canals.
Through the open water months they will
be engaged for the greater part in carrying
grain from the various lake ports to Mont
real, but in winter they will be employed
both in coast trade and in carrying grain
to Liverpool. Mr.. Connors expressed the
opinion that the project would be in opera
ton by July 1. 1900 He said:
Naturally / feel much gratifed at the
successful conclusion of my labors. L can
say L have the support of all the large
grain interests of Chicago and Duluth.
The representative men have expressed
confidence in the practicability of the
scheme, and the syndicate with which | am
engaged has begun preparations for estab-
fishing carrying trade all over the water
route between the great lakes and Mont
real The Montreal route will afford an
all-water route to the sea w.4-ch can COM
pete with the railroads. Besides the three
elevators at Montreal, we expect to build
an elevator of 1.5e0000 bushels capacity at
Port Colborne. Ontario, sixteen miles from
Buffalo, and through grain going to
Montreal in large cargoes will be broken
there. During the season just ended only
little more than 21,OOOOo0 bushels of the
vast amount of grain which came to Buff
falo from the West by lake and rail was
shipped east by the Erie canal. The great
bulk or 1t went by rail 1t will be the sea-
ports that will suffer from the new route
New York, Newport News, Boston, Balti-
more. Portland. Galveston and every port
through which grain passes for export 1t
will simply be contest between rail and
water. and am confident water will win"
