CANADA's NEW WATER WAY
To Shorten the Distance From
Montreal to Lake Huron.

FROM tne Sc1ent1nc American
In, view of the fact that New York state
is spending over 500. .0OO. 900 for the CON
struction Of a state barge canal with a
depth OF twelve feet, to improve water
communication between the great lake
and the Atlantic, great interest attaches
to the Georgian bay canal, which is de-
signed to shorten the distance between
Montreal and Lake Huron by the con-
struction Of ship canal twenty-five feet
in depth. The route is by way o
Georgian bay, the French and Piekercl
rivers, Lake Nipissing. and the OTTAWA
river, the total distance being 40 miles
Although there will be total OF twenty
seven locks, It is estimated that there
will be a saving Of q day or more in tim.
over the present route for steamship
through the lakes. The saving in dis
tance on the route by way OF the canal
from Lake Superior to London, as com
pared with the route by the way of the
New York barge canal. will be sos miles
The Typographical features along tn .
canal are such that 332 miles of the dis
tance will consist Of natural water WAYS.
upon which no work Of excavation need
be done. OF the remaining 10S miles.
eighty miles will consist OF submerged
channels. on which there will be only
limited amount of excavation in the re-
moval of rocks and shoals. This leaves
ABOUT IWeUtS-elSuL IliieS or rdHdl III
which the full prism must be excayated
in cuts that vary from 3OO to 300 feet In
width. The summit level will be ninety
nine feet above Georgian bay, and s59
feet above Montreal. The estimated totai
cost OF the canal Is about the same rs
that of our state barge canal, or about
S10O, ,OO0.0OO, and the estimated time tn
complete the work is about ten years
1t would be fatuous to close our eyes
to the important bearing which this
scheme has upop our smaller water way
from Lake Erie to the Hudson. The one.
with its limited draft. can take nothing
larger than a 1W0-tOn barge: the otheg
with its minimum draft of Twenty-Five
feet. viii be able to pass oceap-going
freight steamships from ports on .the
lakes to the Atlantic. The advantages of
carrying freight in large bulk and with
out rehandling are well understood: There
is saving. both OF time and cost. On
the other hand, the opening of ship
canal from the lakes to the ocean would
not render the whole fleet of lake steam
erS available for coastWiSe traffic be
tween the lakes and the ports on ou
own seaboard, or service in the transat-
mercial interests which would be affected
that the average lake steamer is not
suitable for deep-sea service; the type
Of ship that Is adapted for service on the
lakes being In some respects unsuited for
oversee voyages. This may be true OF
some of the smaller craft: but we doubt
Ii 1t would apply to the ships of larger
displacement, which constitute the bulk
Of the more modern lake fleets. After al,
Is said and done. 1t is certain that, with
the near approach of the completion OF
the Georgian bay canal, vessels suitable
for combined lake and ocean VOYAGES
will be constructed.

Military Exercises.

From the Army and Navy Register.
Weston. the pedestrian, on his seventy
first birthday. March Ia last. started to
walk from New York: to San. Francisco,
complete his undertaking. He will rest
Sundays and will deliver lectures on the
benefits of walking. IN the large cities
through which he passes. ,...-s... 8;
What misfortune that this undertake
ing was not started before March 4 last,
and what an inspiration 1t would have
been for our late 'equestro- o-pedestro conf
mander-fn-chief to put Some other stunt
up to the military and naval services of
a grander and more spectacular kind
have been inflicted.
Naval officers are constantly passing
back and forth between the ATLANTIC and
Pacific coasts, and 1t would be a most
them to walk oyer the route. In case
the distance was not covered in 100 days
1t could be arranged SO that the officer
automatically passed to the retired list.
But why confne this test to army and
nav officers? 1t could be made a matter
of most beneficial training in the line of
their work, and duty to. have details. OF
blueiackets and soldiers pedestrianate be-
tween the two coasts. Then, in the case
of tic possible wreekage Of their ship,
home. 1t would, of course. be well to
rest Sundays. and 1t could be readily
arranged TO detail enthusiasts along the
route to give lectures on the benefits of
walking. in case any doubts arose about
the matter. - tss@s
\ question has been raised about the
fairlleSs or wisdom of requiring the older
nav men 10 do walking test. as they
have never acquired the pedestrians art
and are rather advanced in years to ac-
quire il without injury. A concession
might be made i'm the ease of the older
men by permitting them to cross the
continent on the truck of freight car
This is an entirely practical and much
used proceeding and is not SO greatly
different from crawling through double

What is a Havana cigar? The London

forth that three. kinds OF cigars come
from Havana itself. First. genuine Ha-
yana, made of tobacco grown, cured and
rolled In the island OF Cuba: secondly.
cigars composed inside of United States
or European tobacco imported into Cuba.
with an outside wrapper OF Havana leaf.
Thirdly, cigars brought ready made fron

Omaha and took the Union Pacific tracks,
while others drove their carriages or ran
their automobiles nut the Center street
road, south on Forty-second street, to the
bridge over the tracks and walked down to
the scene of the robbery.

daring a robbery as that of the Overland

LARGER PURCHASES IN STEEL
Orders Are Small, bat Are Reported
cutie Numerous.

NEW YORK, May 3-The steady in
crease in operations is reflected in the
larger buying of steel, irons and steel
smrap as well as In the larger output of
the coke ovens and the heavier shipment
of fuel IN blast furnaces. Contracts calling
for about 1000 tons of heavy steel have
been placed by eastern Pennsylvania steel
works during the last week.
Fewer large contracts for foundry iron
have been developed, but numerous small
ordrs aggregate upwards of 10000 tons have
been placed in the territory east of the AL
legheny mountains and the tone of the
market is slightly firmer although higher
prices have been realized only on small
lots.
Interest in finished steel PRODUCTS has
continued to be conferred mainly In wire,
nails and fabricated steel. Contracts for
wire products have been record breaking
during May, the American Steel and Wire
taking contracts for $4,000 tons during
the first two weeks, and one single day
reached $4,000 tons. Since the advance Of
50 per ton, Elective last Monday, contracts
have been less excessive. but still abnorm-
ally heavy. Another advance is anticipated
about the first of the month. A host of
small contracts for fabricated steel for
building and bridges has come out. result
ing in adding about $4,000 tons to the or
ders for May, and the prospect is that 49,
600 tons additional will be placed this week.
Tenders have been made on 100 1000 tons by
the three divisions of the American Bridge
company, but only half of this is expected
to develop into actual business.
More orders for cars. locomotives. lake
and coastwlse vessels are developing. which
will call for a large tonnage of plates and
shapes, about $4,000 tons in the near flu
ture. The Gould lines have ordered 100
locomotives and the Chicago & Northwest
ern twenty from the American Locomotive
company. Rails are still laggipg. but adj
ditional contracts for Is, 900 tons have been
placed and 1g5. GOO tons are pending.

Market for Cotton Goods strong,
BIeached sheetinRs steady.
NEW YORK. May 23.-The cotton goods
market closed much stronger than 1t
opened a week ago, There is no longer
any question concerning the maintenance
Of prices on bleached sheetings and other
fabrics that might have been affected by
the revision In printed goods announced
two weeks ago. Drills and sheetings are
held firm, and while the trading has been
moderate, II has been due more to the
unwillingness Of mills to contract ahead
at the present low prices than to a lack OF
interest on the part OF buyers II they
could all to their purchases on a level of
6h cents for three-yard sheetings or 5A
cents for courtyard. Sales of print claths
and convertibles were in excess OF the
production at Fall River. and some long
contracts on these goods were entered into
by southern mills on a basis OF 5s cents
for S9-ineh 6S-72s. The jobbing house spot
trade has beer quiet, but the advance
business in cotton has been large. Recent
developments in raw cotton have made all
advance orders seem more secure than for
many seasons past. and the confidence eX-
pressed in the fall trade is widespread.
Cotton yarns went higher during the week
on very moderate trading. Buyers are not
willing 70 pay the high prices mills are
asking, but il Is thought as general trade
broadens the deadlock will be broken, In
terest in the sales of printed goods has
been large since the shary revision, and
IL is now known that a good business Is
passing in these fabrics and all printers
are participating who care 10 sell at the
