cnIcAGn,s GENERosITY.

Chicago offers 90 give the United States
the drainage canal which she recently
built at an expense Of 100000 on con-
dition that they will make a ship canal Of
It. deepening ~ 10 the depth OF IS feet
The canal connects Lake Michigan with
the Illinois river.
Ia would be interesting 10 know why the
United States should want this canal. and
Il would be still more interesting TO know
what benefit channel through the canal

vessels would 10 TO Chicago Therefore.
although che canal cost Chicago a vast
cum OF money. It doesn't appear that D.
is gift tbat would ho appreciated by the
United states.
The canal IS a good thing for Chicago
because IL keeps her water supply pure
IL was built TO accomplish that object
Before the canal was constructed the
drainage Of the city was into the lake. and
rs water was contaminated as far from
tho shore as the locality from which the
ciiys water supply was drawn. Besides.
the sewage In front Of the city was onen-
been remodied by tho canal
But why doesn't the city keep her canal
why does she propose 90 give II to the
United ssates2 There is not Is feet OF wa
ter In the Illinois river nor in the Mlssis-
slppl river Before a ship canal az Chi
cago could be utilized. a channel IS feet
deep would have TO DO cut from her
drainage canal TO New orleans. OF course
the rivers would not have to be- deeUened
an the way. but they would have 20 be
deepened for long distances. ana the chan
mel would cost an amount that would
bankrupt the treasury. And after It was
constructed Il would. not be OF much
value. The railroads have destroyed the
carrying trade OF the Mississippi river.
What Chicago wants. in all probability.
is 10 gee rid OF the expense Of taking
care Of her drainage canal She knows
very well that an IS foot channel 20 the
Gulf Is impracticable. But she must have
some reason for offering her canal 20 tho
government She could hardly say that

The chances are that Chicago viii have
