It started from the headwaters of the Chicago river which empties into Lake Michigan, connects the Chicago river with the DeSplaiaes river. which empties into tiiC l4iIhbiS ilNti anu thcAtC iilO lES Mississippi
 The work consisted in cutting through the high ground which formed the sep aratiOn between the watershed of the lakes and the watershed of the Missis sippi. It cost up to the time of the opening Of the canal Sl1 900 900. The plea constantly made by Chicago was that the ditch was a ship canal, not seveage canal. and Chicago mas been working to make the ditch a true ship canal by deepening it from Loekport to the Mississippi river.
 Since the suit was first filed both Chicago and St Louis has been talk ing observations and making chemical and bacteriological examinations of the water These examinations were care fully compiled and submitted to the Urited States supreme court.
 The latest argument in the case was made before the supreme court on Jan uary 1 last by Atty-Gen. Hadley of MissoHri, and the final point made in his argument was that if one human life haG been sacrificed by diyerting Ghieago's sewage into the Mississippi. then Missouri was entitled to a judg- meat iu her suit.
