WASHINGTON, Oct Sit is only a
matter of a few weeks before an i'm
portant link I'm the proposed inland
waterway from Boston TO Beaufort
win be completed The canal from
Pamlico Sound to Beaufort, N c.. is
so nearly completed that the dredges
are now within three-quarters of a
mile of each other, and the formal
opening OF the canal is a question
OF only a few weeks The canal is
IS miles in length and has a depth
of seven feet.
The inside water route which is be-
ing advocated by the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association will eventually
make II possible for vessels OF light
draft 70 travel from Boston to Beau
fort. and indeed even to Key West,
without going outside The trip from
| Boston TO New Orleans by water Is
now 2,1SO miles, but it can be short
ened by the inside route for light
draft boats TO 1850 miles. and # the
ultimate scheme of cutting a ship
canal across Florida is carried out. as
It probably will be. $40 miles will be
cut off from the journey from New
York
The inside route now runs from New
York through canals 70 the Delaware
and Raritan canals. which is "A miles
long There is even a shorter cut OF
IA miles to the Delaware and Ches-
apeake Canal into Chesapeake Bay,
and thence an inside route to Nor
folk South OF Norfolk the Dismal
Swamp Canal cuts through to Abe
marie Sound, a trip of only AS miles
and saving three times as many miles
by the outside passage. From Abe

leads to the south of Cape Lookout
whence there is a natural channe
