asks fair interest return upon the
$l2.000.000 expended upon the new
waterway.
Contrary to the expectations Of some
doubling ones the construction Of the
canal has been found comparatively
easy from an engineering standpoint.
All sorts Of difficulties were freely pre-
dicted. such as huge boulders below the
surface, quicksands, &C.. but fortunately
for those engaged In the work these
fears were largely imaginary. The
engineers did find. however, that the
New Haven Railroad crossed the valley
three times, SO the construction COM
pany had to build and pay for four
miles OF track in order to avoid all but
one crossing-that at Buzzards Bay
where a remarkable railway bridge was
erected, with an opening of 100 feet. so
that not merely ships OF the present
could pass, but dreadnoughts OF the
future II the canal should he enlarged
to accommodate such giant craft. The
company also had to build parallel
highways on either side of the canal to
replace former roads and to build
bridges for highway traffic at Bourne
and Sycamore.
In addition to safety and promptness
Of commerce the Cape Cod Canal long
ha been recognized as a matter OF mill
tary and naval importance. Gen. Wash
ington, in 1876. saw this and ordered
Thomas Machin to survey the route
which would "give greater security tc
navigation and against the enemy.
Four years later Gen. Knox was using
his influence to have the newly formed
| Government build such canal. Gala.

imposed by great public enterprises Of
the kind mentioned. 1t will be remem-
bered that the great land transportation
systems Of this country were built by
private citizens who invested their own
capital in enterprises. although the
national Government Of course gave
material announcement.
THE Cape Cod Canal is all but q
completed reality. And now comes the
question. will it be successful as bust
ness undertaking? Physically there Is
no doubt. as may be seen from state
ments already made. as to advantages
OF the shorter and safer route 1t will
furnish. There are more than 2O,O0O,-
900 tons Of cargo per annum now going
through Vineyard Sound. over half Of
which is carried in lows and in
schooners. This so per cent. or more
will be saved 10 cents per ton by the
new route. not taking into cOnsiderat ton
that during the last six months fully
$4,000 has been lost in Vineyard Sound
by wrecks and delays. IL only one
half the present tonnage going around
the outside dangerous route should go
through the canal and pay tolls OF 10
cents per ton. the income would he
100000 on the $12.O0O,OOO invested.
and in all probability the cost for canal
maintenance and all other overhead
charges will not exceed $4,000 per
year"
Commodore Miller mentions that the
figures Of toll charges above given are
for purposes Of Illustration. and are
subject to revision after a fair and free
discussion with future patrons OF the
canal. He adds that the company only

risks OF the present route and go
through the canal
AT present barges average one and
one-half round trips per month between
Newport News and Boston. The canal
will enable these tOws to increase the
number Of their voyages by 100 per cent.
per year. while liners will increase their
earning capacity materially by reason
OF the shortened route. There are to-
day some $4,000 craft rounding Cape
Cod, Of which about 1880 are steamers
and barges In tow. about equally d.
vided In respect OF tonnage. There are
six lines making regular trips There
are fifteen companies engaged in the
coal trade alone between Eastern ports
and New York, Philadelphia and points
| urther south. The coal carried amounts
| to 100000 tons per year.
perhaps the value Of this new work
can best be realized by comparing 1t
with two other similar undertakings in
this country. the Panama Canal and
the enlarged Erie Canal.

Canal Is largely an altruistic project
for the benefit OF the whole world.
"In the State OF New York some
S.0OO,00 OF people are spending more
than $100,000.000 for canal to carry n
tonnage which at it's maximum will
probably never exceed double the pres
ent tonnage Of 100000. This New
York State enterprise also Is largely
altruistic. as II will greatly benefit all
the States bordering on the great
lakes. Both the Panama and the Erie
Canal are being financed and con-
structed by the Government. Federal
and State respectively.

private citizens are constructing the

nouncements on the subject is made by
Rear Admiral Colby NJ. Chester, l.. s.
~, who strikingly pictures the need
for waterway across the cape large

Chester, lis weak point in the defen-
sive system of the United States. 1t is
separated from the long stretch Of coast
OF the middle and south Atlantic States
by series Of shoals and islands, ex-
tending for considerable distance into
the ocean, dangerous Of approach at all
times and particularly so during fogs
and storms.
1T Is a well recognized principle Of
naval strategy to-day that, wherever
situated. the fleet must be kept together;
but 1t will he difficult To avoid paying
some attention to acquisitions for a

t~ken Of every natural feature OF the

"Barges and schooners, which now
take the outside or Vineyard Sound
route" says Commodore ]. W. Miller.
vice-president Of the construction COM
pany, undergo an average delay OF
nearly four days a round trip a year.
This delay means money loss OF 10
cents a ton on the 1000, 900 tons Of coal
and lumber carried by tows and sailing
craft; while nearly the same amount
OF money would be saved ton on the
100000 tons carried In steamers. AS
a matter OF fairness, however, ! wish
to add that part Of the loss OF $780,
900 Is due to delays at terminal points.
"Barges carrying cargo between the
Chesapeake and Massachusetts ports
