BIDS FOR THE GREAT LAKES COMMERCE..

The report Of the Canadian Georgian Bay
Canal Commission. coming out at the time Of
the American Deep Waterways Commissions in
spection of the Mississippi. calls attention To the
efforts both countries are making 10 establish Il
connection between the Great Lakes and the
seaboard by water. and so open an ali wafer
route TO the rich central valley of the continent
The Georgian Bay canal would connect the
Great Lakes, through Canada. with the Gulf of
ST. Lawrence. The canalizing of the Mississippi
and the Illinois rivers would open an Ameri-
can route from the lakes to the Gulf of Mex
leo. Canada has a decided advantage over this
country in establishing deep waterway to the
lakes in every respect except climate.
The proposed Georgian Bay canal would can
elize the French River from Georgian Bav to
Lake Nipissing. From Lake Nipissng IL would
be necessary 10 dig a canal TO the Ottawa River
but two small lakes would make the actual
distance of excavation short. The Ottawa would
have 10 be canalized for distance of about two
hundred and fifty miles to Montreal, which is
AN ocean port for freighters 1t is proposed to
build the canal twenty-one feet deep so that lyv
the dredging out Of lakes and rivers for dis
tance of less than four hundred miles a route for
oceangoing freight ships would be established to
the Canadian Pacific Railroad terminal at Port
Arthur, on Lake Superior. The estimated cost
is S100,o00,000, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier is
quoted saying that he would begin at once
If he had the money. The canal can be built ut
vastly less cost than one can be built in this
country to connect the lakes with the ocean.
New York's 1f-foOt barge canal will cost about
as much as Canada's proposed 21-foot ship
canal Opening up of the Mississippi TO Il
depth of twelve fourteen feet would prob
ably cost much more still. The proposed route
cuts across the northern end Of that triangle of
land which lies between Georgian Bay and Lake
Huron, on the west, and lakes Erie and Ontario
and the St Lawrence River, on the east. 1t is
the shortest leg Of the triangle, and natural
waterways which simply call for deepening lie
