Fifty Years Of the Great
Sault Ste. Marie Canal
What It Commerce on the Great Lakes
and for the Development Northwest

!: ;;; =: !: :: !;
eET~ LANS are under way for the
H0 semi-centennial celebration
I'd of an event that has played
<M an important part in the
EN1 commercial development of
VIZ the peninsula of Michigan
The building of the Sault Ste.
Marie canals. Lake cities in the vicin-
ity of the canal will, of course, take the
most prominent part in the celebra-
ton, as will also the Canadian PROV
inces in the vicinity. Congress will be
asked for an appropriation of $4,000
to make the event grand success, and
a canal semi-centennial commission of
five senator's and ten representatives
will also be asked for.
For the benefit of those located out
side the range of direct benefits of the
canal brief history of building may
not be uninteresting. The st. Mary's
river, better known as the Sault Ste.
Marie, canals are located at the falls of
st. Mary's river, which connects Lake
Superior with Lake Huron, and raise
and lower vessels from one level to an
other a height of from 10 to 20 feet.
The length of the canals is about ~
miles.
Agitation for the building of ship
canal around the st. Mary's river rap
ids was probably commenced before
1887, but in that year Gov. Mason, Mich
igan's first executive, in his message to
the legislature strongly urged the
necessity of one. He was evidently
successful in his plea, for we find that
the legislature acted upon his recon-
mendation and passed an act on March
21, 1887, providing for survey, to-
gether with estimates of the cost of
construction. AT that time govern
ment reservation was situated on the
present site of the canal, and when
the first work of construction was COM
