The topography of the peninsula be-
tween Cape Cod Bay and the southern
waters is quite favorable for such a
canal. as there are rivers and creeks
running north and south which can be
readily united to make and feed a canal.
Three routes are most in favor, and
there have been several examinations
and surveys of each. These are: Bass
River, BuZZardS BAY and from Boston
to Taunton and Fall River. The last
seems to be most in favor. and report

structed at less expense, but have not
as many apparent advantages. 1t is
believed that the canal will be eventual

THE ENLARGED ERIE CANAL.
A Scheme by Which New York City
Hopes tG Regain Gaj Hold Her Pre-
eminence In the Western Grain Trade

! The heavy incursions which Calves
| ton, New Orleans and other Southern
ports have been making upon New
| York's receipts of Western grain and
the probability that this loss will grow
| in magnitude unless something decisive
Is done to check it, impelled the COM
mission men and shippers Of that city
to earnest endeavor. The extraordinary
growth of New York City in the early
part of last century was directly due to
the construction of the Erie Canal, 1863
miles long, connecting the Hudson at
Albany and Troy with Lake Erie at
Buffalo. This was the lifework of De
| Witt Clinton, who began to urge the
work as early as 1872. He met failure
at first, but was finally elected Governor
of New York, and succeeded in carry
ing the enterprise through as State
work. 1t was constructed through
region which was then for a greater
| part wilderness, and was at that
| time far the most extensive public work
| ever attempted or carried through in
| the United States. 1t Immediately dem
onstrated its utility by developing the
country along it and bringing to the
markets of New York the products of
the region of the Great Lakes, which
had begun to settle up. In a few years
! it was found to be too small for the
| immensity of the traffic it carried, and
was enlarged to a breadth of 40 feet on
the surface and Sc feet at the bottom
and a depth of seven feet. Its locks
were increased to length of 110 feet
and width of Is feet and it is carried
over large streams by great stone aque-
ducts, rivaling in size anything of the
kind in the world. There are 70 of
these, 81 of which are double and 15
single. Immediately around Albany
and Troy it rises by means of Ii double
lift locks TO height of 1SS 1a feet above
tide water. 1t was completed in 1925,
and its enlargement begun in 1885 and
completed in 1862. Altogether it has
cost s5S.91S,567,- and something like
500, 900 has been received in the
way of tolls.
At the election of Nov. 3, 1903, the
people of New York decided to spend
s101 100000 to enlarge the Erie Canal
and adapt ii for the passage of 1000
ton barges, the work TO be completed in
five years. This work is now going on
very actively, with but little said about
it. however. The new canal will have
- feet minimum bottom width and II
feet minimum depth, with LIPS square
feet minimum water cross section. 1t
will begin at Congress street, Troy, and
reaches the Niagara River at Towanda.
The existing Erie Canal from Towanda
Creek to Main street, Buffalo, will be
kept as a feeder.
The Champlain Canal, beginning at
Waterford, will ascend the Hudson,
canaliZe at Fort Edward and thence by
the present route to Lake Champlain,
near Whitehall. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that this will so cheaper the
transportation of grain from the West
as TO attract by that route much of the
grain which is now diverted to the
South.
