But perhaps you don't know much about
the canalers and their boats. 1t would be
surprising If you did.
The canalers are class that Is rapidly,
disappearing. Twenty years ago there
must have been 25,000 or 80 600 of them all
told in New York alone for they had 1900
boats on the Erie and Champlain canals,
and each boat must have supported an
average of six or seven persons, counting
the captain, his family and the employees
required to run the boat Today, by q
liberal estimate. that OF the New York
state superintendent Of public works, who
has charge of the states artificial water
ways, the number of boats is not above
600, and there eonnot be many more than
1900 canalers In existence In the state of
few more-in New Jersey two canals are
still in operation and few boats are rum
ming on other canals in the country-possi-
bly, 5000 people In all the United States
are still entitled to be called canalers.
There was a time when they were pros
porous and important element in the COM
munity, when they stood for transporta-
ton much the same as do the working rail-
road men of today, but that time is gone.
Apparently the doom of the canalers as

Why Canalers Lay Up In New York.
you might think from the big fleet Of
boats laid up here In the basin that prac-
tically all the canaiers in the business win
ter in New York
THAT isn't so; some boats are laid up
at Buffalo this winter, some In Rochester,
Syracuse and other cities, and some all
along the line in the villages. But good
deal more than half the boats are here
more than usual. in fact
Most boatnlen like to lay up here, for
two or three reasons. For one thing, II
they are here they can always get a load
north and west to take out when he canal
opens and make their boats begin to earn
money at once. If the winter has been
spent elsewhere the first trip of the season
is generally light, and no money comes In
till the boat has been brought here and
loaded. for there isn't much to bring east
and south In the spring.
by laying up here In the winter you
have chance to bring down load at the
very end of the season. If it's a load of
potatoes you may be asked to let them stay
aboard thirty or sixty or ninety days. and
then your boat viii be earning storage

year than common. The first part OF this
winter was open, there has been little ice
in the harbor, and that has made more de-
mand for the boats as lighters. That's
why there weren't more tied up in the
basin before the first of February
