A word about the history of the
canals. Long ago, when Canada be-
gan to be explored by the adventur-
Gus white men, schemes were devised
for facilitating transportation be-
tween Lake Superior and the other
waters of the Great Lakes. In 1889
a canal was projected across st.
Mary's island, connecting Lakes Su-
perior and Huron, and ten years later
the canal was in readiness for navi-
cation This early canal was but 300
feet in length and As feet in width,
with a lock 38 feet long and nine feet
wide. One of the Northwestern Fur
companies was the originator of the
enterprise, which eventually fell into
the hands of the Hudson Bay COM
pany. This plucky little canal was
DESTROYED in the first days OF the
troubles of 1912, company of Amer
lean volunteers doing their work so
effectually that it was never rebuilt.
The state of Michigan some years
later pushed to completion a canal on
the American side, and in 1856 there
was opened for business the first lock
at the ''Sault," passing vessels draw
ing a maximum of 11A feet The
cost of this canal was 100000. The
first years tonnage was 100000 tons.
The succeeding years saw very
rapid increase. as the iron ores about
Lake Superior became in great de-
mand. In 1880 the tonnage had risen
to 1,750,G00.
The increased tonnage demanded
improvements in the canal, and in
1881 there was opened to navigation
the lock now in use, a very wonder
full engineering work, costing $4,000
600. This second canal is SIS feet IN
length and 80 in width. The old can
ais and locks were assumed by the
government the same year, ana very
extensive improvements were begun
to still further facilitate trapsporta-
ton: Congress called in the war de-
partment for information as to what
additional improvements were con-
sidered necessary, and the report IN
answer asked for "the construction
of a 1ry dock in the canal, the I'M
provement of the Hay lake channel
ard the immediate construction OF
another lock-" The new lock, on the
site of the first one, the one of 1855,
is 800 feet long and 100 feet wide.
These last improvements, costing ST.
397.38O, allows of the passage of yes
sells of great depth, and statistics
show that the improvements already
made on the canals and the st.
Mary's river, which tortuous stream
is really no river at all, but strait,
have paid for themselves many times
over.
The st. Mary's river is open for
navigation from May to December.
In those months there passes
through the Sault canal more freight
than through the Suez canal in a
whole year; a couple of million tons
of coal; millions of tons of iron ore;
millions of bushels of wheat; tens of
thousands of tons of copper; thou
sands of tons of silver; millions of bar
xels of -four; manufactured iron by

government that tolls would be
raised on Canadian vessels passing
through the Sault ST. Marie docks.
Whereupon the excessive tolls were
withdrawn, but the English decided
to go to work upon an independent
canal, 4 waterway of their own. To-
day the Canadian vessels, as a rule,
make use of the Canadian canal, al
though through the American canal
all shipping passes free, both domes-
tic and foreign.
1t is very interesting to spend a
day at the $500" during the busy sea-
son and watch the motley craft COM
ing and going through the wonderful
waterway. One can sit at ease in the
pleasant park bordering the canal,
and see glide along before him, with
out hitch or hating, ceaseless pam
Drama of vessels. There are beauti-
full trim yachts, contrasting with the
big-snouted, clumsy-looking whale
backs, the pigs" as the sailors so
aptly call them; there are stately,
modern vessels, great floating pal
crowded pass enger vessels, and huge
freight boats, with perhaps only a
couple of lonely men visible; putting,
energetic tugs near consorts stately
in size and general appearance. 1t
is show worth seeing.
These canals at the Sault have
ministered much to the rapid devel-
opment of the lake cities. We quote
from a writer treating of the lake
traffic of the present season: I'm it's
astonishing magnitude the COM
merce of the great lakes is not only
an impressive exponent of the I'M
usual business activities of the cOun-
try, but reminder of the important
part the lake system plays in the
prosperity and development of a doz-
en- states and hundred or more cit
ies." KATHERINE POPE.

Hurrying to the Grave.

Americans are plunging ahead in
business channels with amazing en-
ergy and rapidity, and are restless
unless engaged in stupendous enter
prises which monopolize all their
time, brains and money. This extra
ordinary activity is rapidly develop
ing the resources of the country, but
it certainly is not conducive to long
life among the people. Conscientious
physicians are becoming tired of
warning business men that they are
exhausting their vital energies too

ing the fees which are given to keep

rels of salt by the hundred thousand;
tens of thousands of tons of building
stone; hundreds of millions of feet
of lumber, and hundreds of thou
sands of tons of miscellaneous
freight.
The Canadian government was in
fuenced to construct a canal on the
Canadian side of ST. Mary's falls, and
in 1895 it was opened to navigation.
Several things urged Canada to take
this step. When the American canal
was completed, Canadian vessels
found it convenient and available,
and it was not until time of war that
Canada felt the need for a canal Of
her own In the Riel rebellion Of
1870, men and munitions of war were
wanted at the head of Lake Superior.
but the law of nations would not al
low of the transportation of these
through the United States canal;
and our government had to refuse
Sir Garnet Wolsey the permission
when he asked for it for his troops.
The troops and supplies were landed
on the Canadian side, the empty YES
sells passed through the canal and
reloaded on the Lake Superior side.
Another occurrence helped towards
the construction of Canadian canal.
When rates were raised in 1892 on
American cargoes passing through
the Welland canal, the government of
the United States began retaliation
by sending word to the Canadian

Philippine Hemp Crop.

The largest production of hemp for
one year under normal conditions in
the Philippines was 10000 tons. There
is a possibility of the islands being
made to produce sufficient for the con-
sumption of the whole world. Hemp
needs no cultivation. Care must only
be taken that it is cut in the proper
season. The natives cannot be ex-
celled the world over In the prepare

EEEzFgT5S HOUGH the Sault st. Marie
MSEfA canal is only about one
K mile in length-the busy
NNMlX American one, we refer to
the annual tonnage
~ that passes through it ex-
ceeds that of the famous Suez canal,
much greater in extent, being 100
miles in length. The freight tonnage
of the former canal for 1897 was 49,
982,755; for the latter the net vessel
tonnage 7,899,373.
And this last season has been a
record breaker in lake commerce, and
the busy $500" has been unwontedly
busy, the total freight passing
through the ST. Mary canals in four
months being 16,568,899 tons. The
vessels glide in and out so quietly a
visitor at the locks is rather i'm
pressed with the idea of leisure and
lack of friction than with the hustle
and whirl that usually mark spot
where commerce is excessive. But
the thoughtful visitor, observing in
the course of the day the number
and variety of vessels that wait their
turn at the ST. Mary locks, gets some
idea of what is meant by the figures
above quoted, the millions and mill
lions of tonnage. If one day sees
come, pass and go so many vessels,
seven months of like arrivals and de-
partures-the navigation season is of
seven months duration-cer
must pile up vast amount of work
to accredit to the canals.

Power of the Country Press
By HENRY 0. SHEPARD,
Publisher of the Inland Printer.

There is more power in the country press to-
day than any period in its history It's influence
upon the affairs of is direct and sharply
defined as are the blows from the hammer of sturdy
blacksmith upon the hot iron on his anvil.
From time to time we hear the cynics sheer that
the power of the press has become tradition only
and that men are no longer moved by the editorial
pen. For an answer to this idle charge reply: Ask
the politicans-he defeated politicians, you please.
