History of the Enterprise.
The SauIt Ste Marie ship canal, the
fiftieth anniversary Of the opening of
which was celebrated today, was COM
pleted by the state of Michigan in 1856.
This ship channel, the connecting link
between Lake Superior and the lower
lakes, was transferred to the United
States government in 1870. Since the
government took charge of the water
way, vast improvements have been un-
dertaken, the canal having been widen
ed and deepened several times. 1t is
now considered the busiest of the
worlds artificial waterways. In 1888 the
lock, erected by the state, was destroy
ed by excavations for the present Poe
lock which is the largest in the world.
1t is 800 feet long and 100 feet wide
with a water depth of % feet on the
sills.
The WitzeI lock which was made nee
essary by the increased traffic and is
still in operation, is SIS feet long.
The traffic by way of the 500 canals,
American and Canadian, during 1904
was 3z,000,000 net tons, 27 ,000 900 of
which was through the American canal.
The traffic of the Suez canal in 1904
was 100000 net tons. This represent
ed large part of the commerce of
Europe with Asia and some of that be-
tween the United States and Asia.
The 500 canal has developed the vast
mineral wealth OF the Lake Superior
region, and has furnished a cheap and
convenient outlet for the transportation
of grain, -four, and other products to
the east and to Europe. 1t has helped
to build up great industrial centers at
Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo, has aid
ed in making Pittshurg the greatest iron
contributed materially toward giving
the United States primacy in the pro-
duction of iron, steel and copper.
Another lock must be built and the
ship canal above the locks must be
widened because of the great develop
ment of the ore and grain traffic of the
Northwest

WAR between STATES.
Serious Trouble Imminent Over the
Yellow Fever Situation.

New Orleans, Aug. 2.-The relations
between the states of Louisiana and
Mississippi have reached an acute stage,
and from indications it will change from
interviews about the concealment of
cases to a much more serious matter.
From information that has come to
hand the dignity of the state of Louisi-
ana has been offended by an armed in
vasion from the sister state and Cover
nor Blanchard communicated with the
captain of the naval brigade, with
fuily equipped gun boat with a view OF
having it dispatched to the borders to
protect Louisiana citizens from further
indignities. Mississippi has five armed
boats patrolling the coast to prevent
fishermen from breaking through the
quarantine line. These vessels are also
assisted by the Z. S. revenue cutter
Winona. Mississippi will not allow
Louisiana fishermen to enter Mississippi
sound east of st. Joe light, but from
reports received here it appears that
one of these patrol boats came into
Lake Borgne, which is distinctly 1ouisi-
ana territory and one report says it
came up to the mouth of Lake Borgne
canal which extends from the lake to
the Mississippi river, distance OF only
four and half miles. The naval bri-

No Official Notification.
Washington, Aug. 2.-Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman of the Marine hospital
service said today that he had not
| received any official notification of the
conflict between the state authorities
of Louisiana and Mississippi over quar-
antine. He added:
"The small boats that went into
Lake Borgne at the mouth of Lake
! Borgne inlet were probably under the
state and local authorities of Misissip-
pi. Surgeon Wasdin of the public
health service is assisting in protecting
the towns of the gulf coast of Missis-
sippi, in accordance with the request
of the authorities of that state. He
is using the revenue cutter Winona to
notify vessels which carry refugees
from New Orleans that they cannot
land at those places and that they
! have the option of either going back
or of proceeding to Ship Island quar-
antine, where they can be held under
observation and then given partique.
The bureau declines to take over the
small vessels of the state which have
| gone into the waters of Louisiana"

the fishing smack as the least danger
Gus and struck this boat a glancing
blow which carried away parts of her
rigging but did no other serious dam

Mr.. BURTON'S MAN.
Senator's Friends Would Have Him
Secretary Board of Control.

The survivors of the Burton faction,
composed of D. w. Mulvane of To-
peka, T. T. Kelly and Frank Grimes.
are insisting on the appointment of
Colonel w. w. Smith. Senator Burton's s
private secretary, as secretary of board
of control.
This appointment is made by the
board of control and is an important
one because of it's intimate association
with the board of control. The secre-
tary will be an important official, for
he will be actively in charge of affairs
in the headquarters at the state house,
and may have something to say about
the employment of help and the award

minds of the Buraln people good
place to control.

Chicago, July 2S.--Johann Hoch, al
legged Bluebeard and bigamist, escaped
the gallows today at a moment when
he almost seemed gone. All ready for
the death march, the man convicted of
wife murder received instead of the
fatal summons, word that Gov. Dem
cen had granted him a reprieve until
August rs. This was given after States
Attorney Healy and the prisoners at
torney had advised the chief executive
OF the state over the long distance tel
ephone that the amount of money nee
essary to prepare a transcript of the
evidence and carry the case to the
state supreme court had been procured
Game to the last, Hoch received the
news with the remark that he had been
satisfied all the time that he would
not hang.
The forenoon was productive of nu-
merous dramatic incidents. p
Attorney Plotke called early to bid
Hoch goodbye. His client refused to
say goodbye and told the lawyer to
hustle out and get the necessary
money. Gov Deneen had already gave
one reprieve of six weeks to enable
Hoch and his friends to raise the nee
essary amount, but up to this morning
only about 500 had been secured.
Soon after Plotke had left the county
Jail, Mrs Cora Wilson, who has inter-
ested herself in the case, appeared in
company with DR.. Liston H. Montgom-
cry, a well-known physician. They
announced that they had promises of
the necessary amount of money from
several people, and after a conference
between Jailer Whitman and States
Attorney Healy it was decided to stay
the execution until the latest possible
moment, to give these unexpected
friends chance. While they were
gone on their hunt for the money, AL
bert II. Thompson, an attorney, rushed
into the states attorneys Office, an.
nouncing that he felt that man
should not be allowed to hang for laci
of small sum of money to take an

THE YELLOW PLAGUE
twenty-five Suspects Removed From
Steamship at New York.

New York, July 2S.-Twenty-fve
persons suspected of yellow fever in
fectiCn were today removed from the
Mallory line steamship Alamo, from
Galveston, and were transferred to
Hoffman's island for inspection.
Only ten of the number have the
high temperature which is the first
symp,um of the yellow plague. The
ether hfteen were wives, mothers, hus-
bands, children and brothers or sisters,
who refused to be separated from their
relatives and who we're in consequence
sent to the detention station. More
than half of those removed from the
vessel were cabin passengers.
When the steamship Ell Cid, from
Galveston, arrived here today she was
subjected to a thorough examination.
The steamer is the first one to arrive
here since the disease became preva-
lent in the south, and, as she was for
some time in New Orleans, the exam
ination conducted was most careful.
The steamship Segurancia of the
Panama steamship line is expected to-
morrow As several cases of yellow
fever were found upon her in southern
ports, it is expected she will be de-
taincd for long time before being al
lowed to proceed on her way.
