NIAGARA WILL NOT RUN DRY,
For the Reason That There Are
Three New Sources of Water Sup
pIy for the Great Lakes.

The Sun on the 3oth ult. contained
an article with the caption: "Will
Niagara Run Dry?" In reply l beg
to say no. Why? writes Francis
Wayland Glen, in the New York Sun.
First-Because when the Georgian
bay and Ottawa river canal is con-
structed with 25 feet of water over
the lock stills the waters of Lake
Nippissing, Trout lake and Lake
Talon will discharge into Georgian
bay and therefore raise the water
level of Lake Huron. Trout lake is
80 feet deep, and is fed by the per-
petual snow and ice of the upper
part of the valley of the Ottawa.
Second-A canal can be cut from
Lake Nipegon to Lake Superior
Nipegon is large and deep lake,
and is also fed from many streams
which rise in the region of perpet-
ual snow and ice.
Third-When a ship canal is con-
structed through Rainy lake and
Rainy river to Lake of the Woods,
another large body of water would
discharge into Lake Superior. These
three sources of supply will more
than counterbalance the discharge of
water through ship canal from
Chicago to deep water upon the Ill-
nois river.
The Canadian government is pro-
testing against our building the Chi
cago drainage canal, although Lake
Michigan is entirely within United
States territory. If Cancda has any
rights in Lake Michigan which we
are bound to respect, then we have
rights in Georgian bay which Canada
is bound to respect.
We have the same right to protest
against constructing a ship canal
from the Georgian bay to Montreal
for the admission of war vessels into
the upper lakes that she has to OBJ
ject to our constructing canal from
Lake Michigan through the Illinois
river for drainage purposes.
Hon. Andrew II. Green, with his
usual foresight, has been urging the
creation of an international commits
sion for the purpose of dealing with
international waters, and also for the
purpose of suggesting a continental
system of international deep-sea
canals.
There is no more important ques-
ton for the electors of this republic
than the creation of that commits
sion.
