the purpose of transportation, any
benefits that may be derived from d.
rect revenues are considered of minor
Importance.
The great and overpowering consid-
GRAFTON which influences a government
most in determining the advisability
of such an undertaking, is that of in
direct benefits which may accrue from
its present and future development
and not direct revenues of any kind in
the way of tolls and rentals in money.
TWO NOTABLE EXAMPLES.
We have two notable Illustrations Of
inland waterways of this kind in this
country, one built by the State of New
York, and the other by the federal gov.
ernment. The first is the Erie canal
from the lakes to the Hudson river
connecting with the sea board, which
has cost the people of that great En-.
pire State up to this time, very nearly
$73,000,000, and which of late years
has been operated without direct earn
ings in the way of tolls and rentals of
any kind, being supported by appro-
printions by the General Assembly.
This great waterway has had much to
do with building up and making great
the State of New York and it's magni-
ticent cities, and according to the de-
clsiOn of the people Of the State as
declared by their ballots, its canal sys.
tenn is to be further enlarged and per-
fected in order that it may continue
to be the great controlling factor in
shipments from the great Northwest to
the port Of New York, thus preventing
the diversion of this commerce to 9TH
er ports on the sea board, and preserv-
ing to New York her supremacy as the
greatest commercial center in this
country, and returning to the people
Of New York State ten fold its cost in
money values by means Of indirect
benefits.
The other is the great Sault Ste.
Marie canal, connecting Lake Huron
with Lake Superior, which is as indis-
pensible to our great Northwest, for
cheap transportation, as the lakes
themselves, an example Of one Of the
best investments in monied value,
that our federal government has over
made.
While an improved and enlarged
canal across our own State connecting
the Great Lakes with the south and
southwest rivers and so with the Gulf
of Mexico, does not offer such induce
ments in physical and commercial ad.
vantages as either of the two mem
toned, Erie and Sault Ste. Marie ca
nals) its construction has been found
practicable by able commissioners
who have so reported, and believe
such an undertaking would meet
commercial demand of no mean pro.
portions. At all events, it is certain.
ly worth while for the State to hold
to its present canal franchise until
time shall have demonstrated the ad-
visibility Of such IA measure.
l repeat the assertion t,,at the pres
eEt canal system can be made profta-
BILE to the State, pending that time.
Should it appear that any part Of
the existing canal is at present unpdo.
ductive, let it be closed for navigation,
but by no means should it be aban-
doned until this grave question touch
ing its future usefulness to the State

could be selected, including in its per-
sonnel Col. Amos Stickney and Majors
W. S. Stanton and w. Il. Marshall,
ably assisted by Capt. of Engineers,
Hiram NJ. Chittenden, whose able re-
port on the subject to Congress in 1896,
is favorably conclusive and positive
and which should dispel all doubts to
the contrary.
Ohio is fortunate in the possession
of valuable franchise, and in the
ownership in fee of its old canal prop
crty, which could be utilized in the
building OF Il modern, waterway, a pos
session that becomes an important
factor in figuring the cost of construc-
tion of an enlarged canal, emitting
the question to quite different treat
ment from that which would be re-
quired if an absolutely new right of
way We're to be secured.
The projectors and engineers who
built our present canals across the
State from the Ohio river TO the lakes
displayed wonderful skill in the proper
location OF these canals which has
been demonstrated, by experience and
by the development of the state, to be
the best available, either for their pres
ent size or for their enlargement or
the possible Improvement of their con
dition. These facts have been abund-
antly proved, not onl, by the surveys
of the federal engineers, but by actual
experience in the operation of the ca
nails since they were first built
beg to say that those who hold to
these ideas have given the canal ques-
ton very little thoughtand study. Such
conclusions are quite irrelevant to the
questions of future Improvement and
enlargement and should be utterly dis
regarded in that connection.

PRAY ID HAVE THE
 CITY OF SEATTLE SOLD.
Pacific Coast Company Takes
 Steps for Salvage.
LIBEL FILED AT SITKA
Request Wade That an EqaitabIe sum He Awarded for the serv- Ices oT L. Cottage city.

Agent Pope of the Washington and Alaska Steamship Company, returned last night from Juneau on the steamer Farallon and brought word that the officers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steam CT Cottage City while in Sitka libelled the City of Seattle for services in reSculng her after having been adtft recently ln Lynn canal. The libsllants pray that the City of Seattle be sold, and that the Pa clhe Coast Company receive an equitable sum for the services rendered.
 twill be necessary for the City Of Se- attle people tO give bond before the ship can be released and allowed to proceed south. lt Is expected that tug will ar rive at Juneau about February ( to take the disabled steamer south, and that the authorized agent to give the bond will go to Sitka fo! that purpose either on the tug or the next Cottage City.
 No Alaskan agent of the City of Seattle is authorized to give a bond in such a mat ter as this.
 The settlement of the question of Sal- wage as against the Washington and Alas ka Steamship company, says Mr. Pope, Is in the hands of the marine underwriters.
 The City of Seattle belongs to tn: Northern Pacific railway, and Is chartered to the Washington and Alaska Steamship company.
 Just what the Washington and Alaska Steamship company will do in regard tC filling the place Of the City of Seattle while she Is off the run Is not known, buI lt Is said they may put the former trans Pacific steamer Tacoma on the run, or may secure the services of the Humboldt.
 "I learned from Capt. COnnell," say' Mr. Pope. "that the danger in which thu City of Seattle stood of going adrift for time was not wholly her own fault, bu partly that of the Cottage City. Tn captain says that the Cottage City in ap' preaching the City of Seattle cut two 0 the chains that then were holding anchor
