Facts About the Canal.
Originally freight and passengers
were transported around the falls
over portage. nearly three miles in
length. The first ship canal, con-
structed by Michigan in considera-
ton of government land grant of
100000 acres. was completed June 4,
1855. 1t was little over mile in
length and cost 100000. The year
before the canal was built $4,000 tons
of freight passed over the portage,
The year after the canal was opened
showed a tonnage of 106296 Since
that time the annual increase has
been about 20 per cent. During the
season of 1904 the freight that pass
ed through the canal amounted to
31,5i6,10 tons.
The first canal served from 1855 to
1881, when the Weitzel lock was built
to accommodate the larger vessels
of that period. 1t was made 5l5 feet
in length and is still in use.
Between 1887 and 1896 the Poe lock
was built on the site of the old state
lock. 1t is 500 feet in length and has
a chamber 100 feet in width from
end to end

SAULT STE. MARIE, July 2S.---
Fifty years ago navigation between
Lakes Superior and Huron was made
possible by the construction of q
canal around the falls in St. Mary
river 1t is now the highway for
more ship traffic than any other canal
on earth.
The liftieth anniversary of this i'm

the first week of August with a cele-
bration of international Importance.
Men whose names are known the
length and breadth of the continent
Will attend. Among them will be vcs-
sci owners, mine owners and capital

canal There will be engineers and
a host of others interested in the
waterway Visitors to the number of
10000 are expected. Charles r. Har-
vey. who supervised the construction
of the first canal. will be here. The
visitors will be sheltered in the big
summer resort hotels and the homes
of residents of this city.
Congress and the state of Michigan
have given recognition to this cele-
bration by approprlating money for
1t. Congress gave $4,000, Michigan
SIS, 200 and $25. 600 was raised by the
people of this section.
Hon. Peter White of Marquette is
at the head of the commission having
charge of the celebration. He is an
owner of iron mines and steamship
lines.
An important feature of the affair
will be the unwilling of a bronze

A pressure of 200 pounds per square
inch is secured in the machinery on
the Poe lock.
The Poe lock can be filled or emp
tied in seven minutes. The WeitZel
lock is smaller, but requires as much
time to operate.
Before 1891, when the old lock was
controlled by the state of Michigan,
a toll of ~ cents ton was imposed
to cover repairs and expenses of oper-
ating, but since the locks have been
operated by the federal government
there has been no charge.
Nearly 100 men are employed by
