are in cultivation and the benefits of
the canal are already apparent.
The big boat on the lower end of
the canal, finished its work in May
and has been towed down the Usage

taken up the Illinois river, where it
will be used in building levees. An
drew Lyons finished the Miami later

The Foohey boat will be torn down
and shipped to some point where it
will be put to work.
