The Erie Canal.

A work of vast magnitude and
great importance has been com
menced in the state of New York
the enlargement of the Erie canal.
Two years ago the question of rails
ing SIoI 100000 to be devoted to
charging the canal was submitted
to vote at the general election and
carried by large majority. The
Erie canal, an artificial waterway
between Lake Erie and the Hudson
river opened in 1926, cost 100000.
1t has been Of great benefit to the
state but the commerce of the Great
Lakes, seeking an outlet to the sea-
board, demands that the Erie canal
shall be enlarged to accommodate
the great increase of traffic. The
canal can now accommodate only
small boats-carrying $40 tons of
freight. 1t is proposed to enlarge
the waterway 90 that barges carry
ing 1000 tons and propelled by
steam, may pass through it without
difficulty. The commerce of the
Great Lakes has attained the magni-
tude of between 9o,ooo,ooo and 1907
100000 tons annually, and the rail-
ways and Erie canal in its present
condition, are inadequate to transfer
this vast tonnage to the seaboard
with facility. Carriage by water is
very much cheaper than such move
ment by land. The construction of
the canal to its enlarged condition
will compel the removal of more
dirt and rock than will the building
Of the Panama canal. When the
Erie canal is remodeled and enlarged
to its contemplated capacity it is ex-
pected to permit of the passage of
100000 tons Of freight annually
from Buffalo to New York city.

General Helps to Get
Pensions.

Maj. Seebach, assistant adiutant
general, is preparing the pension
statistics for the adiutant generals
report which will be issued soon.
1t is not generally known, Maj. See
bach states, that pension claims are
prosecuted before the pension bureau
free of charge by the adjutant gener-
al. During the last two years the
adjutant general has taken active
steps in prosecuting claims for wild
ows and old soldiers who have been
unable to hire attorneys to present
their cases.
One of the significant features of
the report will be the number of
pensions that have been secured
through the efforts of the depart
ment. The number of claims grant
ed through the activity of the ad-
jutant general will average three a
day since une 1. This is the larg-
est number in the history of the
Office. During November alone
thirty -four claims have been granted
by the government.
Few claims are received for pen
sions under the law that gives a
pension to all veterans more than
sixty years of age. These age claims
are SO easily prosecuted that there is
little need for appealing to the ad-
jutant to help prosecute the claim.
The greatest number of claims
prosecuted by the state officials are
those presented by widows. The
point in the prosecution of such
claims is to establish the death of the
old soldier. During the last two
weeks eleven claims have been pre-
sented by widows whose husbands
have died within the last few months.
1t has been found by Maj. See
bach that fully one-half of the claims
prosecuted by the adjutant generals
department are rejected. The mat
ter is not allowed to end there, how
ever, but the claims are taken up.
again by the adjutant general and
presented in new light. The re-
port will show that fully one-half
of these claims rejected in the first
instance have been granted after
further prosecution.

Britain acknowledged the independ-

the United States, we became the
possessors of S27,S44 square miles OF

100000. In 1919, at a cost of So
500, 900, we purchased the Florida
possessions, consisting of $3.50
square miles Of territory. In IS45
we acquired Texas from Mexico at
cost of $4,000 ,ooo-376,133 square
miles. BY the war of lS4S we Sc
cured from Mexico further territory
to the extent of 545,783 square miles,
paying Mexico $IS,ooo,ooo for the
passing oftitle. Afterwards-in 1858
we bought of Mexico additional
territory of 45,535 square miles for
$Io,ooo,ooo. In 1867 we bought
Alaska-577,s9o square miles--pay-
ing Russia $7,2oo,ooo for the same.
Then, 1893, we secured Hawaii
by annexation, 6,5S2 square miles.
Finally, in 1898, we secured from
Spain, Porto Rico, the Philippines
