enable vessels to avoid dangerous
summer fogs and Currents off Cape
Cod which are such a cause of dread
to summer yachtsmen and still more
to steamships and coal schooners in
their passage round the long sandy
projection.
Another enterprise on foot in
Massachusetts one which would en-
counter few natural obstacles in its
construction, is a canal from the
southerly side of Boston harbor by
way of Fore river and the Taunton
river into Narragansett bay. Such a
canal as this would serve quite diff
erent purpose from that across the
narrow neck of Cape Cod, in that it
would primarily enable lows and
barges, propelled probably by cleo
tricity to bring coal and other sup
plies without breaking bulk from the
original ports in Pennsylvania or
Maryland to Boston passing through
an interior country which already

A third project which also would
mean great deal to Boston, as the
commercial center of new England is
one looking toward improvement of
navigation facilities on the Merri
mack river, the big manufacturing
towns of whose valley are an import
ant part of the prosperity of the
whole section. Lawrence. Lowell.
Nashua. Manchester and Concord are
dependent upon railroad facilities for
the coal which supplements the limit
ed water power developed by the riv-
or. OF conditions in this valley the
report of the architects states: Most
of our citizens live in summer on the
shores of Salem bay and see number
less tows carrying thousands of tons
of coal constantly TO Salem. There
the coal is dumped in great piles ON
the ground Thence it is distributed
TO cars and pays tribute 20 the Boston
and Maine railroad before ii is landed
at the boilers at Lowell or Lawrence.
Many must wonder at this costly and
primitive method Of attaining an end.
II we were in Germany. surely the
Merrsmack river would long ago in
some way have been awaited of to
carry not only coal but other supplies
to these towns and all the district
around them"

Americas Neglect of Its Rivers.

Boston, March 10.--A report by
committee ON municipal improve
ment of the Boston Society of Archi-
tects which has been made public is.
IN the main of more local than ma
tional interest, for il involves an elab-
crate series of recommendation for
the greater Boston. which. if carried
out, would, as it is believed, create
IN the northeastern part of the United
States the most perfectly organized
city in the western hemisphere One
section, however, of the report is of
much more than New England con-
Germ; it is. in fact, absolutely in line
with the proposal which the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, a non
partisan and nonssectional body, is
agtating at Washington and which is
likely within short time to result in
a great Improvement of our national
routes of water communication, If
the desired appropriation of $780,
000,0 900 year is secured from con-
gress.
This is chapter of the report UNI
der the heading of communication by
Inland Waterways, which indicates
the extent to which every community
of this country, is affected by the
question of water transportation
Most Americans, particularly western
and southern sections. do not think
of Boston situated on the outer rim of
the country, as being particularly con-
cerned in the development of the
more inexpensive type of freight
transit that is represented by canals
and improved rivers and estuaries.
This document, however, of the Bos-
ton architects shows that in a broad
sense the New England capital is as
directly interested in the upbuilding
of facilities for transporting freight
by water as is New York, Chicago,
New Orleans, st. Louis or any other
municipality.
One of the projects of this nature
that Immediately concerns New Eng
lands is of course, the Cape Cod can
al, which, it appears, New Yorw cap
italists are about to build. This will
shorten the trip from Boston to the
metropolis and at the same time will

Hagen, shortstop.
Pinkney and Heffner, second.
Schlatter and Feeney, first.
Hawk, Steen, Noah, Bowers, Lin

Shall Marion Have a Lecture Course.

/. We are sorry to say that our efforts
to secure a Lecture and Entertain
ment Course for the coming winter
are about to fall for lack of support
from the citizen OF our town.
= We entered upon this project,
not with the purpose of making any
considerable sum of money for the
benefit Of the School Library, but
with the idea of furnishing the peo-
pie an opportunity to sec and hear
some Of the best attractions to be had.
The course planned is an expensive
one, and requires the sale Of large
number Of season tickets, at the very
low price asked, in order that we may
not lose money on the undertaking.
3. Many Of the citizens have re-
sponded nobly, but others whom we
expected support, have failed to re-
spond aud still remain unsold, large
number Of tickets.
,. Citizens of Marion, lit is up to
you If you desire this course Of
entertainments, you will have to show
it in more tangible form than by
excuses for not purchasing season
tickets.
;. To the lovers of good music,
the Mountain Trio, aud the Harmony
Concert numbers alone will be worth
the price of a season ticket. To
those who wish fun and amusement,
Durno, the Magician will give you
value received for your ticket. Surely
there should be many in Marion who
would consider an evening with Opie
Read well worth the cost of the en-
tire course.

taken to canvass the town IN the
effort to dispose of the required mum.
