PLAN WATERWAY
FROM LAKES To
GULF Of MEXICO
Illinois River, Which Is Being
Improved, viii Furnish the
Connecting Link in the
Project.
tBy The AssOeIated Press.l

Cincinnati, O., July 24.Coal by
direct water route from West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky to Chicago and
the northwest and ore from the
Lake Superior region by direct wa
ter route to the Ohio valley states
is the main argument presented TO
the board of engineers in Wash
tngton, which now has before IL
the plans for the building of
barge canal from Toledo to Deli
ance, o.; from Defiance to Chica-
go, via Fort Wayne and from De-
fianee to Cincinnati.
At the same time appropriations
have been made and work has be-
gun on the improvement OF the
Illinois river which is the connect
ing link from the Chicago drain
age canal to the Mississippi river.
When this improvement is com
pleted there will be a through deep
waterway from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico.
Between the eastern waterway
from Buffalo to New York and the
western one from Chicago to New
Orleans, the central waterway line
advocates desire a through water
way from Toledo through Cincin-
natl to New Orleans and give the
whole Ohio valley an outlet to the
gulf and to the Great Lakes.
One of the most important fea-
lures the central waterway project
supporters say, Is it's branch from
Defiance to Lake Michigan which
would save Chicago, Toledo and
other lake ports milage of some
4S0 miles, as compared with the
haul via the straits of Mackinaw.
This route, it is claimed, would be
of invaluable benefit to Chicago
and the northwest in securing wa
ter rates on coal from Kentucky
and West Virginia and in like man
ner 1t would give low water rates
to the Ohio valley on ore from the
Lake Superior region. At present
the Ohio valley gets water rates
on coal, but must pay rail rates on
ore. In like manner ports on
the lake get water rates on ore
and are paying rail rates on coal.
Under the inland waterway sys-
tenn the Great Lakes would have
several through waterway outlets
" LILO GCeS Win "a plOpCbAbiSAh PNthA
ing for an additional one via the
st. Lawrence river. This inland
waterway system would give all
points along its channels an OPP
portunity to make through ship
ments by water the same as by
rail to all points on the seaboard
as we'll as elsewhere and for for
eign shipments It would be the
only means of an all-water haul.
It is estimated that it will re-
uuire one year or moee for such
q complete field survey as is nee
essary for estimates on which to
advertise for bids and that it will
then require from four to five
years for construction. The canali-
zation of the Ohio river requires
fifty-three dams and locks. About
three-fourths of them have been
completed and the present move
ment contemplates passing the I'M
provement of the Ohio river to
completion by the time that the
deep waterway Is constructed from
that river to the Great Lakes.

The above directions apply partic-
ularly to our county ticket but there
is an added difficulty to the Berea
ballot, in that there is a municipal
race on, with a Citizens ticket in TIE
field. Remember that no two candi-
dates for Councilman are against
each other, but there are six men t,
be chosen at this election. The six
receiving the highest number of votes
from the total number of candidates
in the field will be the next Board of
Councilmen.
The names printed on the city bal
lot opposite each other do not indicate
that those people are running against
each other.
II you vote for one candidate on
the Citizens ticket, 1t does not count
against any particular candidate on
the Republican ticket. 1t simply
gives that candidate one more vote.
II You vote under the Log Cabin
in the County race, and desire t.
vote for one candidate on the Citi-
zens' ticket, you must vote for the
other five candidates for Councilmen
individually.
No voter should forget to vote on
the Educational Amendments. There
are two of them, and they are printed
on the ballot by the side of the
County ticket. II you are In favor
Of the two Amendments, which mean
the removal Of the, State Superintend.
