TO DEEPEN THE
LAKE CHANNELS
FROM CHICAGO TO BUFFALO is A
PROJECT NOW BEING
9ooMED.
A UNIFORM DEPTH OF 2s FEET
ls Proposed and All the Shipping
Manufacturing and Labor In
terests on the Great Lakes
Favor the Plan.

Washington, Feb. ia deep water
channel from Chicago to Buffalo via
the 500" is in contemplation. In a
few days a measure will be introduced
in congress providing for the com
plete survey and, perhaps, for the
construction Of such a waterway.
Behind the project are practically
all the shipping. manufacturing and
labor interests on the Great Lakes.
That the plan is entirely feasible is
indicated by the fact that already
there is a Chicago to Buffalo channel
2l feet deep. This waterway Is the
growth of many years and, although
the depth has been increased from
time to time, Il has not kept pace
with the growth of commerce on the
lakes.
Contracts already have been let for
the construction OF lock at the
500" which will accommodate three
of the largest vessels on the lakes at
one time. The depth Of water over
the sills OF the new lock will be 20
feet and the cost OF the project will
be approximately S7000000. Thomas
j. Dolan OF Chicago, general secretary
of the International Brotherhood Of
Steam Shoyelmen and Dredgemen,
who participated in the council OF
labor last week at the department of
commerce aud labor Is vigorously
urging the deepening Of the Chicago
to Buffalo channel, not only because
he regards 1t as necessity for the
commerce of the lakes, but also be.
cause he believes II will tend TO a
solution OF the problem of the unem.
ployed.
Every interest on the lakes will
support the project to deepen the
channel" said Mr.. Dolan. 1T will
mean much to the middle west and
the east In the reduction OF rates on
freight, as shipping owners can oper'
ate vessels drawing % feet az econom
ically as they can vessels drawing
only 20 feet OF course the carrying
capacity OF the deeper draft vessels
is immensely greater. My idea will
be to construct a channel coo feet
wide and 2G feet deep. Such a water
way could be completed by the time
the 500 lock is finished II Is q
great project, but its carrying into eff
feet would solve many great prob
lems."

Il Causes Remarkable Results at
Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, N Y, Feb. 15.-Only
tiny rivulet not deep nor swift
enough to carry a pulp log over the
brink, is flowing over the American
side Of Niagara Falls. A strong
northeast wind which has blown since
Friday has held back the water and
allowed the ice to gain foothold
Two employees of the American reser.
vation walked from Prospect Point
nearly to Bath Island yesterday. They
desisted from completing the trip
merely because they did not care to
get their feet wet, the stream at one
point being few inches above the
tops of their boots.
A great wall of ice runs from the
head of Goat Island to the American
mainland through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle. This wall
has even encroached on the Canadian
channel, extending out some 200 feet
beyond the third Sister Island and
greatly diminishing the flow over the
Horseshoe. Only the very apex OF the
Canadian fall is left and that is
robbed of half its flow The gorge
below is choked and the rapids have
lost their fury, while the whirlpool is

This is only the third time that this
combination of wind and ice has thus
affected the falls since the white man
