formal report to his government. Ac-
cording to views expressed while in New
York. he will commend very highly the
skill of the American engineers who have
planned and are constructing the canal
He says the work has been done superb
". and he has no doubt it will be COM
pleted in the same fashion and within the
time limit set by those in charge. He is
convinced however, that the canal will
prove a disappointment from a COM
mercal viewpoint.
He believes there is not likely to be
a sufficient tonnage to be foated through
the canal at reasonable tolls to cover the
expense of maintenance and anything
like interest on the cost of construction
Those who are inclined to dubious view
should bear i'm mind the experience of the
British at SueZ. Financial loss was pre-
dicted there. too, vet that canal has paid

the river pageant that will be held next
month to commemorate the centenary of
steam navigation on our inland rivers.
About a century ago member of the
American Philosophical Society, in Phil
adelphia, Benjamin II. Latrobe, wrote TO
a learned colleague in Rotterdam that
there sort of mania prevalent
in America for the propulsion of yes
sells by steam engines. and that while he
had never heard of speedy and agree
able voyage by this means, there were
not lacking persons who insisted that
such navigation, even upon the rapid
waters of the Mississippi" was entirely
practicable.
The New Orleans called at first the
Enterprise was built at Marietta and
sent to Pittsburgh to be provided with
engine and stern wheel of Robert Full
tons design. The little boat of some 35o
tons burden cost $4,000 to build and left
Pittsburgh on its trial trip October IL.
1911. Thereafter for three years it made
regular trips between New Orleans ana
Natchez, until it was wrecked. Up TO
the year 1877 there were twelve steam
boats introduced upon the ample cur
rent of the father of waters. their ag-
gregate carrying capacity being esti-
mated at :, 22:a5 tons.
Norris Birkbeck. the English traveller.
describes his steamboat journey from
New Orleans to Louisville in 1917. He
left New Orleans June and reached
Louisville July II. He says that the
average of speed against stream of
steam vessel heavily laden is about sixty
miles a day 4 considerable number of
these vessels / believe about twenty-five,
measuring from 90 to 400 tons burden,
are now plying on these rivers, gener-
ally built at Pittsburgh, or their machin-
cry prepared there. Charles Dickens,
using a succession of these boats in 1910.
said that he was told to keep as far aft
as possible, because the steamboats,
generally blew up forward.
Somewhat later that celebrated vessel,
the Eclipse, attained sixteen miles an
hour in the upstream passage and made
twenty-five miles going down the river.
The apogee of steamboat navigation on
the Mississippi was reached in 1853 when
there were thirtytwo boats, all fine
passenger steamers. plying between st.
Louis and New Orleans. Their total ton

Sons Oppose Allowance.

Mr.. Dante has been advised by the sons
of Mr.. Hutchins that he will be held per-
sonaEy liable for any payment to the wife
IN excess of the $1,000 allowed by the
terms of the deed under which the trus
tee holds title to the estate. The trustee
will, therefore. oppose the confirming of
the auditors report, and will question
the jurisdiction of the court to pass any
order requiring him to exceed the amount
stipulated in the trust by Mr.. HutchinS
to be paid to his wife monthly.
The alleged failure to serve StilsOn
Hutchins with subpoena in the proceed
ingS to have the court assist in the exc
cution of the trust will also be urged by
Mr.. Dante as a bar to any further action
by the court until Mr.. Hutchins be af
forded day in court. When this ques-
ton was raised before Justice Gould he
suggested that it might prove an embar-
raSSment to the increase of allowance to
Mrs. HutchinS.
