CANALS FOR BENEFIT
LESSON FROM EUROPE SHOWS
HOW WATERWAY IMPROVE
MENT HELPS RAILROADS.
HAS A CREATIVE EFFECT
Construction o: the Manchester ShIs
Canal Shown TO Have Resuscitated
Many Dying Towns-Many Give
Similar Experiences.

IN previous articles it was shown
that the waterways carry goods more
cheaply than railways do or can and
compel the railways to carry for less
than they otherwise would, and then
the claim was made that the improve
ment Of waterways is a benefit to the
railways with which they compete
Several instances were given to sup
port this claim and many more might
be given if space allowed, for the
writer, who has studied the subject for
Is years, has found many instances
OF benefit, and not a single instance
OF harm, to railways from the I'm
provement of waterways. It is now in
order TO see If we can find a reason
for this rather surprising result.
Waterways, as has been said before,
produce benefits in three principal
ways-by direct saving in the cost of
transportation of goods carried by
water, indirect saving, by the lower
ing of railway rates through the COM
petition of water routes, and by what
may be called a creative effect. 1t
is this last named effect which we
are now to consider.
Manchester, England, before the con.
struction of the ship canal, was
dying town. Hundreds of stores and
thousands of dwellings were empty,
factories were closed-some moved
away-and population was decreasing.
With the opening of the canal all this
was changed, Factoriess reopened,
new ones were built, the empty houses
were refilled and thousands of new
ones built to accommodate the popula-
ton that came pouring in. And the
benefits were not confined to Manches-
ter alone, but were distributed over
the whole great industrial region, con-
tanning over 100000 people, of which
Manchester is the center. 1t was not
only natural, but inevitable, that the
great increase in population and pros
perity in Manchester and the surround
ing region should be reflected in the
business and the profits OF the rail
ways therein,

Liverpool Also Aided.

Liverpool Also Aided.
Liverpool fought desperately to pre-
vent the building of the canal and the
establishment of the new port of Man
chester; but instead of being injured
by the canal, the business of Liverpool
has increased faster than before. Dur
ing the Is years before the canal was
opened the increase in the harbor re-
ceipts at Liverpool was only $4,000;
in the same length of time after it
was opened the increase was $685.
600. The 100000 tons of traffic at
Manchester have not been stolen from
Liverpool, they have been created by
the canal.
Frankfort, Germany, before the
River Main was improved, was not a
dying city but was decidedly stagnant.
Mannheim and Mayence on the Rhine,
which had been improved, were grow
ing rapidly, while Frankfort was grow
ing very little. AS soon as the canal
izatiOn of the river was finished, which
was in 1886, the city began to grow
and has kept on growing ever since
The population, which was 154, 900 in
1885, has increased to $4,000 in 1895.
to $4,000 in 1905, and is probably
more than 100000 now. Evidently the
people of Frankfort expect their city
to keep on growing, too. They spent
over S1,500,000 On a harbor when the
river was first improved and are
hard at work right now building a
new and much larger harbor at a cost
of SIT, 100000. Just as in the case of
Manchester, the benefit was not con-
fined to the city of Frankfort; the in
dustrial and commercial life of the
whole region was greatly stimulated.
Mines long closed were reopened, new
industries were started, and today
there is an almost continuous success
sion Of factories lining the banks of
the river from Frankfort to the
Rhine.
Everybody Reaps Benefit.
Hunt the world around and always
and everywhere we find that the i'm
proVement of waterways sets cities to
growing, factory wheels to humming,
and commerce to moving in a wider
and swifter stream. Railroads get
more business in big cities than in
small towns, in a densely populated
manufacturing region than in one that
is thinly settled. Waterways, there
fore, benefit railways-and states and
nations as well-by promoting an in
crease in population, in manufactures
and in commerce. But for one who
likes to get clear down to the bot
tom Of things there still remains the
question: Why do waterways in
crease population and create com.
MERGE and Industry"
Consul General Mason, now in Paris.
but for some years at Frankfort, says:
German craftsmanship was among
the first to foresee that the time
would come when, railways having
reached their maximum extension and
efficiency, there would remain a vast
surplus Of coarse, raw materials-coal,
ores, timber, stone, and crude metals
which could be economically carried
long distances only by water trans
portation, and that in a fully de-
veloped national system the proper
role of railroads would be to carry
passengers and the higher classes of
merchandise manufactured from the
raw staples that the waterways had
brought to their doors"

Mutfied to the ears in fur coats and other luxuries, w. B. Rodman and Clerk Dieterich hugged the stove in Rodman' S store early this week.

Dieterich brought the fixtures along from Fairbanks when he was up there this summer. The i'm provements are now complete.

CABBAGE HEADS
 WEIGH 30 LBS.
John Scharie, Strawberry King"
 Holds Record.

Fairbanks, Oct. 20.-John Scharle, the veteran gardener, raised fully l5 tons of cabbage on half acre of ground, this past season. The heads were all inn mense in size, many weighing 20 pounds.
 The cabbage heads were so large that Mir, Scharle found difficulty in selling them to families. The restaurant men and mine operators were eager buyers, however.
 Mir. Scharle, who learned truck farm ing in Switzerland, believes in concen- trated gardening. He has but small place, which yields wonders. Last sum- mer, during the dry season, by keeping five automatic sprinklers going con stantly he kept out the worms which played such havoc with many fields.
 The variety of cabbage used came from Europe, the sender refusing to give the name.
 Mir. Scharle is known as the Alaskan strawberry king. He raised the first strawberries in Dawson and this past season had l5,000 berry plants in his greenhouses, which he set outdoors dur ing the warm months.
 The berries he raised were large and luscious. They sold early in June for $1.50 a box, each box containing about a dozen large berries. Later they were retailed through Henry Leonardo, known as "Hank," for 75 cents box. He was unable to supply the demand, however.
 Next season Mir. Scharle hopes to raise l ,000 boxes of straw berries which he will sell at 50 cents a box
