CANAL BUILDING
SEEMS IN ORDER
Many Great Waterways Are
Under Projection.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE ERIE
An Undertaking by New York State
That Equals Panama IL Many
Respects.

With the active construction work now
going forward on the Panama Canal
and the continuance of operations to-
ward an enlargement of the Erie Canal,
the building of the waterways has taken
on a new lease of life. Expectations
have been revived, based on incomplete
knowledge of the eheapness of railway
transportation. that the canal is to
prove an effective means of lowering
railway rates still further. Another
view. also based on incomplete statis-
ties. is that the canals viii take up the
low class of buIkier traffic, leaving 10
the railroads the transportation Of high
class goods. manufactures, and perish
able commodities. That the canals OF
half a century ago were outdistanced in
competition with the service. which
even the railways of that day were able
! TO offer seems to have been lost sight
of in the discussion.
Work on the widening and deepening
of the Erie Canal has attracted eompar-
attyely little attention outside OF New
York. vet this is by far the greatest
public work ever undertaken by any one
State. In commercial Importance. and
in its effect on the railway situation, the
Erie is in many respects the equal OF
the Panama project. On the Panama,
it is hoped TO reach ultimately a tonnage
Of 10, ,009 900; on the Erie. all works and
, estimates have been based on a tonnage

Tie Erie Canal will furnish one OF the
cheapest routes for connecting this vast
eonrnerce with the sea5oard- More earth
and rock must be eAcaYated, and more
fadans built, than on the iStnmuS, but the
cost per unit is not nearly so high as IN
