A NOTABLE EVENT.

On Wednesday and Thursda. Of last
week the semi-centennial of the open
ing of the St. Mary's ship canal was
celebrated at Sault Ste. Marie. by an
immense throng. many men OF note
from Canada ana the United States
being present to take part in the
ceremonies.
This canal which was completed
a half century ago, connects Lake SUI
perior with Lake Huron, rendering
uninterrupted navigation of all the
great chain of lakes. Like all the
gigantic projects it was scoffed at
when first proposed. When brought
before congress even so great states
man as Henry Clay opposed the
scheme branding it as THE offspring
of wild Imagination" He said the

could see what it meant to navigation

AS early as 1899 a scheme for 6
canal was initiated by the state OF

eral authority for trespass on a mil
itary reservation. Finally a grant O.
10000 acres of government land was
made and work was begun by the state

northern borders of the county will
fail to come here.
The introduction of an electric press
has greatly facilitated the movement
of wool and doubtless other improve
ments for the expeditions handling
of tn clips will be made as neces-
sity demands.
Crowns have very little fault to find
with their treatment in this market.
One grower, whose wool was shipped
from Straw, is minus two sacks. which
may eventually be located. Too much
care cannot be exercised on the part
of the railroad company in securing
competent help during the WOOL ship
ping season, and every sack should
be duly receipted for at the loading
point.
AS the railroad has joint interest
with Lewistown in making this one OF
the best wool markets in the state
it goes without saying that 1t Will
aim to improve its service from year
to year until it is perfected in every
detail
