Some years ago there was consider
able talk about a waterway from the
neighborhood OF Carbis Bay 10 Mounts
Bay, passing through the lIayle river
but up to now nothing has come of 1t.
During the last few days publicity
has been given to much more am
bilious plan for the construction of
canal, a project which very evidently
fills the mind of at least one person.
1t is nothing less than the construction
of a channel from Perranporth to Tr,i-
no, thence to utilise the River Fal to
Falmouth. To do this il will he neces-
sary to deepen some portion Of Fall
mouth harbour and also to dredye the
as TRURO at all stages of the tide. The
undertaking from Truro To Perran-
perth would necessitate the construc-
ton of several locks etc, which would
mean considerable expenditure OF
time and money This project it is eX-
pected. would cost something like sew
en- millions to complete. Side by side
with this there is proposal to construct
railway from West Cornwall to the
Midlands and the North, the idea be-
ing that ocean liners would land pas
sengers and mails at Perranporth and
thus save journey either to Plymouth
or Liverpool. A third feature in this
gigantic proposition is that the Perran-
perth side shall be utilised as a har~
hour Of refuge. a thing sadly needed
on that coast of the country. ana that
has been talked about for years. This
would involve. so says the enthusiastic
gentleman who has put the matter
before the public, the building of at
least two break waters at Perran-
perth, but when that is done the high
ly desirable object of place Of safety
to which ships may run will have been
accomplished. The idea Of the canal
is, of course. to obviate the journey
round the Lizard and Lands End. al
ways more or less difficult and not i'm
frequently of a dangerous character.
The object is a good one. though prob
ably the time taken in negotiating the
locks and the narrow channel of the
Fal would lessen the usefulness of ii.
rhe larger ships would prefer the
longer but probably quicker, Journey. |

Those responsible for the govern T.

side, must also realize and admit it
frankly. that circumstances are against
them that the policy Of drift in the

 Those who desire furnished rooms and do not desire to cook for themselves can board out with pri- vate parties or patronize the restau. rant.
 "The temperature of the spring ranges from 105 degrees to 10S de. grees. According to an analysis the water is principally sulphur, with 6 small percentage of magnissin and very small percestage of iron. "On an average there are abou
