are cmancipated individually and col

molested by the government. Lithu-

Jewish public life as they please. The

affairs is Jew, and one of the best

CANADA ASKED TO DIG
LAKE CONNECTING CANAL

NORTH BAY, Ontario, May S.-The
Canadian government will be asked to
finance a project to build three locks
on French river, turn the river prac-
tically into a canal and give access to
large Great Lakes vessels to Lake
Nipissing from Georgian bay.
The project, which has the indorse-
ment Of the people of ontario. would
reduce the price Of coal imported from
the United States to the region about
North bay, at the northeastern end Of
Lake Nipissing. Sawmills on Lake Nip
issing would save $1.75 per thousand
feet in freight charges On lumber to
Detroit and Tonowanda. Transporta-
tion of paper from Ontario pulp mills
would be reduced by $3.50 a ton to
Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago. The total
saving in freight charges of Ontario
forest products and their manufacture,
1t is estimated, would be $40, 900, 600.
The plan provides for three locks In
French river, one at Big Chaudiere.
one, at Five-Mi Rapids and another
at Dallas. This would enable the larg-
est lake ships to pass from Georgian
bay into Lake Nipissing and across that
water to North bay. There the vessels
would have direct connection with two
of the transcontinental lines Of the Ca
madam National railway system and
with the ~Timiskiming & Northern road.
