The general manager of the
American Sugar Manufacturing
and Refining company Of Car
thage, Mo-, writes the San Luis
Valley Land company, Fort Gar
land, that as a precedent, con-
tracts for raising 5000 acres Of
beets must be executed before his
company will do anything in the
way of building a sugar factory
and these contracts must be bind
ing for five years.
The construction of the factory
will take place as soon as the con-
tracts are all signed and arrange
ments can be made with the farm
ers.
So far as we can learn the con-
tractors for lands in the Fort Gar
land enterprise are enthusiastic,
especially those in Oklahoma.
A correspondent, of the Fort
Garland News writes concerning
the enterprise undertaken at that
place by the San Luis Valley Land
company:
Il am a contract holder and vis-
tied the valley last August and
will say this: If they can make
one-half a. good a country as they
have over at Monte Vista l will be
perfectly satisfied. All they need
is water, and / am like that article
in your last paper-well satisfied
that there is enough going to
waste to water thousands of acres"

much of the money as it could grab
through its representatives, by the old
familiar practice of log-rolling. There
would be no practical inquiry into the
likelihood of nayigS tion being imprered
by any particular enterprise-there was
none in the good old days when such
enterprises were more numerous than
they have been of late.
Many old residents of Wisconsin re-
member the Fox and Wisconsin I'M
provement. which afforded an illustra-
ton of the principle here referred TO.
The Fox and Wisconsin route from
Lake Michigan to the Mississippi was
by the Indians prior to the arrival of
white men. 1t had been followed by
Father Marquette and by the French
voyageurs. All that was required TO
make it as available for the steamboat
as ii has been for the bark canoe, so
the theory ran. was to spend money in
deepening the channel here and there
and constructing canal from the Fox
river to the Wisconsin on the site of
the old portage. The project was fa-
yored by Congress, and went forward
year after year. Millions were freely
expended. In 1880 Gen. Grant visited
Portage and was taken 10 see the ludc-
rOus little canal, which has never devel-
oped commerce, though it is a conven-
lent place in which to fish for bullheads
There We're those who apprehended that
the eX-President, knowing how much the
improvement had cost, might not be
greatly impressed. But he was in an
appreciatiye mood that day. Here was
his comment to those who took the trou-
BILE to show him what use had been
made of Uncle Sans money: why.

here. Well, | know a good many that

Thomas Jefferson said II know of no
way to Judge the future but by the
past" What reason is there to sup
pose that the proposed internal improve
ment scheme would be any better in
its results than the river and harbor
distribution game which has been played
Mt nearly every session of Congress for
two generations?
Speaker Cannon. who knows human
nature, feels distrust in his bones. Many
of the other experienced members of
the House see the matter in the same
light. 1t is to be hoped their honest,
conservative views will prevail The

A Significant Reversal of Conditions.

The interesting fact is published along
the lakes that the Inland Navigation
Company of Hamilton, Ontario, has
closed contract with the Great Lakes
Engineering works at Detroit for the
construction of bulk freighter with a
carrying capacity of from 5000 to $500
tons. The Inland Navigation Company's
fleet is to Canada what the lake fleet of
the United States Steel Corporation is
to the United States. and as it has here
tofore secured all of its tonnage from
British shipyards across the sea- this
departure is quite interesting. and will
cause considerable discussion amid
"baccy" smoke among lake mariners IN
winter quarters.
The new boat will be an American
bottom and will fly the American flag
She will not be able to carry freight
between two Canadian ports, but she
can carry freight between two ports in
the United States or between a port in
the United States and one in Canada, or
visa versa. She will carry iron ore from
Lake Superior ports in the United States
to Point Edward, just above Sarina, and
will also carry grain from Fort William,
| in Canada, to Buffalo. This will give
her range enough for special service, and
leave the carrying between Canadian
ports to the British-bLilt craft of the In
! land Navigation Company
The reason for this departure by a
Canadian corporation is interesting. The
company claims that it is held up" by
the Canadian government, which compels
it to pay a duty of % per cent. on re-
pairs made in American yards. As the
lake shipbuilding business of the Demon
ion is concentrated at one yard
in COllingwood. this means practical
ly that the Canadian owners must 90 to
that port and submit to delay and to the
charges of n monopoly which is not able
to do work with the promptness demand
ed by the exigencies Of lake service. Tile
Collingwood builders cannot produce new
ships with the rapidity that character
ICES building on the American side be-
cause the American builders have prac-
tically standardized their business. and
now enjoy the advantage which enables
British builders on the ocean to underbid
American yards and surpass them in
| rapidity of construction.
This reversal of conditions on the Great
Lakes is an object lesson for Congress-
men who are wrestling with the complex
question of aiding the American mer-
chant marine. The lake carrier and build
er are protected by statute and by geo
graphical conditions. and they have all
foreign competitors beaten.
