CHlCAGO'S BIG DITCH.
Scope of the Drainage and Ship
Canal Just Opened to Connect the
Great Lakes with the Mississippi
and the Gulf of Mexico.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The Chicago Drainage Canal is de-
signed primarily to relieve that city
of it's sewage and enable it to obtain
supply of pure water from Lake
Michigan, which is now contaminated
by the overflow from the city's sew
ers. 1t is also intended, however, to
be the beginning of a ship canal from
Chicago to the Mississippi river, and
to that end the law under which 1t
was built required that the rock Sec
tiOns should be SO cut as 10 admit
the passage of vessels and this re-
quirement increased the cost of the
work from about si2.0uO 900 or $4,000
600, which would have been sufficient
to dispose of the sewage, to S33, ,000,-
600. All this has been done by the
city of Chicago, but it will ask the
government to continue the work by
deepening the Illinois river.
HIGH ENGINEERING SKILL.
The work of cutting the great canal
has been Of such "a nature as to re-
uuire the exercise Of the highest en-
gineering skill. The total length Of
the canal from Chicago to the ter
minus at I.ockport. H., is twenty
eight miles. the line extending south
westward from Chicago and following
down the Dcspaines valley, the course
of an old glacier. abundant traces of
the progress of which are found. The
valley varies in width from half
mile to ii mile, and through it flow
the Desplancs river ard the malodor-
Gus Illinois and Michigan canal.
a"alrst both of which the Drainage
canal has had to he safcguarded at
various points. The nesplaines river
is a stragglirg stream OF greatly nuc-
tuatinS volume. Sometimes lbs whole
discharge would go through six
inch pip, but at the time of the sprire
floods its volume is fully 100000 cubic
feet a minute, and then j, spreads
over the whole valley. Necessarily
this insuhordinate stream had to be
disciplined, and the task has been cf-
fected by the construction of the
River Diversion channel" This
work involved the excavation of thir-
teen miles Of new river channel, in
which the Desplaines is now flowing,
the Drainage canal occupying part Of
the old bed of the river. and the build
Ing of nineteen miles of levce between
the main Drainage channel ard the
River Diversion channel.
THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
The main drainage channel has been
constructed with view to meeting the
requirements Of the Chicago of the flu
ture, with population Of 5000, 900,
when flow of 100000 cubic feet min
ute VIII be necessary; although a flow
OF 100000 cubic feet a minute will be
ample for the needs of the present
population, and will be the volume
maintained for some time after the
completion of the canal. From Lock-
port, the southern terminus. to Willow
Springs, a distance of fifteen miles the
canal is in the main cut through solid
rock, Niagara limestone. Northward

from Willow Springs for a few miles
the cut IL chiefly through glacial
drift mixture Of earth, gravel and
boulders. and from that point on TO
the Chicago river only earth Is encoun-
tered. In the rock sections" the chan
mel Is l60 feet wide at the bottom, with
practically perpendicular sides.
These sections. with their walls Of
solid rock built up to the required
height Of 20 feet, with massive mason.
ry upon the rock surface, are Of full
size to accommodate the maximum
flow of 100000 fleet. Five of the earth
sections, from Willow Springs north :.
ward, are also of dimensions which
VIII not need alteration, as in them
there is preponderance of hard ma
terial. They are 202 feet wide on the
bottom and 26 feet deep, with side
slopes two to one. The remaining
earth sections are 11O feet wide on the
bottom. with some side slopes. They
are designed for a flow of 100000 feeS,
and may easily be enlarged by dredg-
ing whenever the increase in size OF
the city shall make necessary an In.
creased volume of drainage.
SEVEN YEARS OF LABOR.
Work on the line has been In prog
ress since September, 1892. summer AMI
winter. little delay being experienced
in the latter season. since the frozen
earth has been blasted with dynamite
and handled like the rock. The grade
throughout the earth. or lettered, Sec
tions. Chicago to Willow springs, IS
1 foot in 10000, and for the rock. or
numbered, sections, Willow Springs to
Lockport, foot in 10000.
As has been noted already, the idea
of the utilization of the new drainage
canal Is also n link Of a ship canal
connecting Lake Michigan with the
Mississippi has been present in all the
calculations of the engineers in charge
of this great undertaking. Says CHIEF
Engineer Randolph In recent report:
when completed. the main drainage
channel will be free waterway, navi-
gable for any craft drawing less than
% feet Of water The cutting being
made by this district constitutes near
ly two-thirds of the entire cost of cre-
ating channel from Chicago to the
Mississippi, which would be navigable
for the largest boats that will be able
to ply between st. Louis and New Or
leans after the present plans for the
improvement of the Mississippi will
have been completed"
The confident expectation is that the
United States government will ulti-
mately make the necessary improve
ments in the Desplaines and Illinois
rivers. The total distance from the
end of the drainage canal, at Lock-
port, to the mouth of the Illinois river
Is about 300 miles.
