And at her Goor alighted;

Her solemn troth she plighted.

To Finish Lake BOrEnc Canal.
Chairman NJ. j. Saunders, of the
board of directors of the Lake Borgne
Canal Co. announces that contracts
have been closed for four massive
steel locks, which are to be delivered
and in place within three months,
throwing open to the canal to COM
merce on February /. The Lake
Borgne canal project was inaugural
ed years ago by the state of Louisi-
ana, which spent several hundred
thousands of dollars on the scheme.
Private capital has since been invest
ed until 100000 has already been put
into the project. The present com
pany took up the work about six
months ago. The canal will connect
the Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain,
Mississippi sound and Maurepas dis
tricts and all the tributary streams
with the Mississippi. 1t will open an
inland water route from Mobile and
by the Alabama and Warrior rivers
when the locks now building on the
Warrior will have been completed
into the coal and iron fields of Ala
bama. 1t will enable the industries
of these sections to get their products
to ship at New Orleans without
breaking bulk. 1t is believed that the
canal will make New Orleans the lum-
Der and naval store port of the coun-
try. 1t is conceded that it will in
crease the exports at least $5,OoOOOo
per annum within year or two.
