CANAL LINE FOR ILLINOIS
Barges to Carry Freight Between Chi
cago and st. Louis.

Chicago, Sept 16.-October | will
see Chicago placed on the map as a
baby seaport, with the advent of
regular barge service with ST. Louis
via the Illinois and Michigan canal,
the Illinois river, and the Mississippi.
Spring will see the baby developing
sea legs, and few years after the
war the baby will be rolling into the
company of its experienced brothers
of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
This was the assertion of e. S. Con-
way, chairman of the board of water
resources of the state Of Illinois, and
one of the hackers of the newly in
corporated Illinois Barge and Boat
company, which now has two coal
laden barges en- route from st. Louis
to Chicago. On October three lit
tie steamers, towing from two to three
barges each, will begin operating on
regular schedule between st. Louis
and Chicago. They will carry coal
or any other commodity desired.
