The inlets along the South Carolina, Georgia and
Cuff coasts are gradually being connected II Is
said there engineering difficulties In the con-
struction and it is believed that, barring possibly
the Florida canal there Would be no need or locks
between Philadelphia and Galveston.
Many reasons are presented why such an inland
waterway would be well worth the cost of con-
struction. The United States has long seaboard.
and consequently is particularly vulnerable to at
tack by foreign feet Such a canal, while pos
sihly not available for battleships II dug of the
depth and width proposed for the reconstructed
canals. would accommodate smaller cruisers and
torpedo craft and thus provide them with a pro-
tected route along the entire coast. It would. OF
course provide the protection for commerce.
The movement Of freight by railroad is slow. II
has been said that the average daily mileage OF
carload OF freight is twenty-five miles. barge IN
tow or operated by steam could travel at a mini
mum Of from 100 70 120 miles in the course of a day
OF tpenty-four hours. The distance between Bos-
ton and Gulf ports would be about three hundred
miles less than by
Transportation by water is much less costly than

of freight a mile by rail was reported to be 7S

mills. Water transportation was estimated to cost
only one-sixth as much.
In some respects. also, such canal would have
advantages over the sea route. Il would eliminate
four cf the most dangerous points along the North
Atlantic coast OF the United States-Cape Cod the
southern shore OF Long Island the coast Of New
Jersey and cape Hatteras. Fourteen vessels were
lost the shoals and the short stretch OF Cape
Cod coast in 1905. No winter passes that coal
barges and steamships not thrown up on the
shores Of Long Island and New Jersey Hatteras
is notorious Marine underwriters are reported as
saying that insurance rates would be from 10 to
p per cent lower vessels using the Cape Cod
canal than those going outside the cape on their
way to and from Boston.
The same amount Of freight could be transported
with smaller investment, the vessels would not
need TO be so expensively built those using the
ocean. The use of barges in coastwise trade is in
creasing.
The links OF such d canal would have local as
well long distance value The completion Of the
Cape Cod Canal will make it possible for steamers
TO Boston In a single night. The intercoastaI
canal could be used for many sorts Of rough
freight such ice, cement brick, lime, lumber
coal, stone, iron, oil and cotton. Il would pierce
the sections Of country in which these are pro-
duced. 1t estimated by William Barclay Par
that 100000 tons Of freight passing between
Boston and Southern ports would have used the
Cape Cod Canal in 1907 if it had been open. How
much of this would have used the remainder of the
intercoastal canal it would be difficult to say but
undoubtedly portion Of it would have done So
If the slogan Of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress takes root, the door for the intercoasta
canal may be opened. That slogan is An annual

of sixteen and had gained moderate fortune by

consolidate with itself most of its rivals. and after

his interests got beyond his control
Mr.. Seares was rated at one time TO be worth

Senate Investigating Committee called him a

A GENEROUS GIVER.

In the height Of his success Mr.. Searles was one
of the most generous of givers. It was said Of him
that he never stopped to consider whether he was
giving with the right hand the left hand. but
gave out money with both hands. especially to
Methodist enterprises and institutions, remaining
faithful to the Church In which his father served
as q pastor for half century.
The story is told of the daughter of a Methodist
minister in the days of pastorates limited to one or
two years, that when asked where she born
she said. -I had birthplace, for my father was
an itinerant minister So the only association
that John Ennis Searles had with the ancient vii
lage OF Bedford, up in Westchester County. was
that his father was pastor of the Methodist Episco
pal Church there in 140 when he was born. He
was sent to the New York Conference Seminary
for further education after leaving district school,
but he showed inclination for business
career than for college. and at the age of sixteen
became bookkeeper for q Broadway firm. A year
later he embarked in the hardware business as an
entry clerk at $500 year. In four years he had
become partner in the firm His father was at
that time pastor Of church in New Haven, and
learned of an advantageous opening in firm in
that city engaged in the West India shipping busi-
ness. with a sugar trade interest. The younger
John E. Searles seized the opportunity. and for
eighteen years he devoted himself to it, transferring
the business to this city.
A large part of the sugar refining industry in
this country was in the hands of the HaveUeyers.
the descendants of the first sugar refners in
America who came here from Germany soon after
the Revolutionary War. 1t was one OF these
whose motto ITO be and not to seem 10 be;
and not to to CO. AS importer of
raw sugar Mr. Searles thrown into association
with the who put it through the process neces-
sary to fit it for human consumption. He saw
great possibilities in the consolidation Of conflicting
interests, and induced the two leading Havemeyer
firms to unite. Thus in 1880 the nucleus Of the
Sugar Trust was formed by their amalgamation in
the HavemeyeT Sugar Refining Company, with Mr..
Searles the manager. Great economies in pro
duction effected. and the cutting Of prices
crippled rivals until in few years a number of
them were incorporated with the Havemeyer in
teress in the Sugar Trust. with SJ000OO00 capital.
As secretary. treasurer and chief executive officer
Mr. Searles had the business largely in his
hands. and the successful management OF what
had become a gigantic business soon ranked him
among miliionaires.
