OPEN OUR WATERWAYS

One notable fact in the study of
modern public improvements is the inn
provement of our waterways. The
opening of rivers to freer navigation
and the widening and deepening of old
canals is now marked feature in the
line of internal improvements. The
city of New York has just voted $1O1,-
100000 for the Improvement of the Erie
canal so that boats of more tonnage
can ply between that city and the great
lakes. In Indiana the people are con-
sidering seriously the Improvement of
the Wabash river and the reopening of
the old Wabash canal.
In the earlier history of the country
the waterways played great part in
Fastening the development but with
the advent of the railroads, the i'm
provement of the waterways was dis
continued and the tendency to return
to it now arises from the fact that
there is an increasing demand for eco
nomic transportation and nothing can
equal the water routes for the cheap
movement of freights. The indications
are that river and canal improvements
will mark the developments of the next
decade, and that the cities and locali-
ties favored by natural location with
growth and become centers Of great
commercial activity.

they range their herds and fiocks dur
