Sault Ste. Marie. Mich, Aug. with S0, ,o0o,-
900 toms. of freight passing into. and out Of
Lake Superior through the locks here in the
eight months OF the season, the problem OF
caring for the expected increase of 100000 or
5000 600 tons a year is a serious one. A board
Of government engineers has been in session
here the past few days, considering the mat
ter :; and preparing recommendations for the
best method of*extending the lock system.
1t had been universally expected that the
board would recommend the: reconstruction
of the Weitze1 lock. built in 1882. and a new
lock IN: its. place that should be larger than
the Poe lock, which was built ten years ago.
The Poe lock is, with one exception, the lar
gest hydraulic lift in the world. That single
exception is the Canadian government canal
across the river. r u. = .c.,s
| 1t is learned. however. that the board will
recommend the construction Of an entirely
new lock-. to be placed on the water side OF
the Poe, and to be 1900 feet long, to the 9th
ers 300 feet, nd about sixty feet wide Nei-
| ther the Poe nor the Weitzel locks will be dis
turbed, and the new work will give the four
largest locks in the world for the commerce
Of Lake Superior. y This new lock will be 'of
| concrete, not stone, as are the Others, and 1T
will give passage at one time to three OF the
biggest ships on.:the lakes. The canal above
! will be widened to 500 feet. In the building
4 of this lock an excavation its full length and
width and UP to fifty feet In depth must be- cut
in the solid rock bottom OF Lake Superior. !1t
will take years, and with other work in con
nection will cost many millions. = ~

A RICH MINE

ature.

Berlin Aug. 2.-The reichstag tariff ex-
perts find an inexhaustible mine Of facts
to support any proposition, whether of
tariff or a free trade character, in the
American tariff and the enormous litera-
ture that has grown up around 1T.
Steel rails were considered by the tariff
committee yesterday and among piles of
- debating material before the members
, were reports Of the American senate and
house on the tariff. Count Van Posa-
dowsky- Wehner the imperial secretary of
state for the interior. had volume Of
the United States census before him and
Harr Barnstein, the socialist leader, was
armed with the testimony taken, before
the American trust committee, from
which he quoted Henry O. Havemeyer,
president of the American Sugar COM
pany to the effect that the tariff was the
mother of all trusts. Every speaker IA
voring the 10 marks per ton duty on rails
as provide by. the bill, alluded to the
United States Steel corporation: claim
ing that the domestic German markets
would sbe captured by that trust whenever
sales in the United States languished.
Herr Barnstein, who is the most care.
full reasOner in the socialist side, pre-
dicted the downfall of the steel trust from
over capitalization and over-confidence O.
its management. He had before him {
copy of President Charles; NJ. Schwab's
report.
Whether the steel trust was permanen
or not, the principle on which it wa!
founded would endure as a guide to the
production Of the future. If the trus
came to a point where it. had to sci
steel at any price, it would so disorganiz
