with her attorney, Henry E. Davis. who
is out OF town, but expected 10 return on

tary Dickinson.

WILL WIDEN DETROIT RIVER.
America Asks Permission to Improve
Canadian Waterway.

Ottawa. Ontario. Aug. H.-The Entred
States government. through the British
Ambassador at Washington, has made
application to the government here for
authority 10 carry on extensive improve
ment in the Detroit River in the vicinity
Of Bots Blanc Island and near Amherst
burg.
At that point the channel Is almost
wholly on the Canadian side. and II Is in
Canada that the 100000. the estimated
cost Of the work, will be spent. II is not
often that a government spends its money
IN the territory OF another. but in this
case the United States navigation, which
is exceedingly heavy at that point. stands
to benefit materially, even though the wa
tiers are beyond It's jurisdiction.
The application, which was received by
the Federal department Of public works,
will be forwarded TO the International
Waterways Commission, which exercises
authority in such matters. The works in
view will make the channel straighter
and wider and eliminate a number OF
dangerous bends near the Lime Kiln
Crossing. where the channel is common
10 both countries. though on the Canadian
side When these works are completed
the United States government. Il Is
stated, will have spent about $4,000, 900 IN
improving international navigation, and
almost wholly in Canadian waters.
