the proceeds shall be used or not is
a question for Congress.
They contend that the annual saw
ing to producer and consumer,
through cheaper transportation, will
equal or exceed the total cost of the
project.
Standard Waterways.
They feel that this development of
the st. Lawrence would standardize
| waterways and save transfers just as
we did away with the narrow guage
! by standardizing railways half a cen
tury ago.
They are convinced that while the
St. Lawrence seaway which will pro-
vide cheaper transportation for its
products to market, the East will be
doubly blest, for an addition to the
cheaper transportation of food prod
ucts to its ports and better means of
reaching the heart of the continent
with the output of its mills, its indus
tries will be UNNECESSARILY quickened
by electric energy.
The ton-nlileage Of the Middle West
substantially doubles every decade,
and railway terminals are already in
adequate. The railway companies
cannot secure capital and make inn
provements fast enought to remove OF
prevent terminal congestion. Unless
some other outlet is provided, the
West must slow down, and to retarC
its development would mean a hun
ger-strike in the East where its prod
ucts find their readiest market.
Some Canals Benefits.
When Western products reach Buff
falo they are nearer Liverpool thar
when they get to New York. Why
then, should they at great expense gC

course, when they can be water
bourne in ocean freighters direct tt
their destination?
The advocates of this project stant
for modern, economic methods. Th

AS THE
EDITOR
SEE It

Some of these days we Americans
or our descendants-are going to
see the greatest curiosity of all time,
politician who makes good on his
campaign promises
just now there is no such animal.
There never was one 1t is not in the
nature of things that there should be
one-under present conditions.
Promises just ooze off from an cleo

pioneering tongue like thin molasses
gurgling out Of an open bunghole.
And, like molasses, they keep right
on oozing out until the hole is plugged
up by election or defeat.
And yet we can't navigate the tur-
bulent sea of life without our politi-
clans, especially those of the profes-
sional breed.
Bunk is soothing to the disturbed
mind, and there is no one who can
hand it out as scientifically and as
smoothly as a politician. We have to
be hoodwinked and cajoled and bam-
phoozled about so often or we would
think the country was on oiled skids
and headed for the everlasting bow
vows.
And right there is where our dear
old politicians get in their glorious
work. After listening to their glow
ing promises for five minutes we see
millions and other enticing wonders
ahead, and this enthuses US and spurs
US on to the performance of real con-
structive work of our own. Thus we
see the politician as a necessity and a
national asset.
Nobody expects a politician to keep
his promises. 1t can't be done. They
are made to fit the various sections
of this district in which he hands then
out, and no two sections want the same
thing and in the same manner.
It is the political duty of every vo
ter to forget election promises as scor
as the returns are counted. To insist
upon their fulfllment would Greats
discord throughout the state and ma
ton
Any poor boob can be a politician
1t doesn't require any brains-just al
unlimited amount Of bunk and the a
bility to smear it on and make i
stick.
Yes, we or our descendants will some
day see a politician who makes goot
on his campaign promises.
But perhaps he won't be real bon;
fide politician-just a mere man in
stead.
We live in hopes.

Former Empress Zita is devoting
her life to the task of placing her son
on the throne of Austria, from which
her husband was so ingloriously kick
ed as an aftermath of the war.
That is ambition, which too frequent
ly produces unhappiness, disaster and
death.
It would be much more profitable
to the young Hapsburg if she were to
give him a hoe, put him to work in the
garden, and teach him to earn his salt.
That would be common sense, which
is the forerunner of success, and hap
piness, and a life worth living.
Her inordinate ambition made
fool of her husband and is likely to
do the same for her son.

thusiastic supporter of the move.
Briefly, the advocates of the St.
Larence Seaway propose to improve
the channel of that river between
Lake Ontario and Montreal to a
depth of thirty feet, so that lake car
riers can reach Montreal, and ocean
freighters can enter and depart from
the Great Lakes, using the Welland
Canal between Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario, and the other connecting
channels to Lake Huron, Lake Michi-
gan, and Lake Superior.
They ask that the plans recon-
mended by the international Board of
Engineers and approved by the Inter
national Joint Commission be carried
out under treaty between the United
States and Canada, and legislation by
Congress and by Parliament.
This plan contemplates a dam in
the river between New York and
Ontario, which will flood rapids and
incidentally develop about 100000
hydro-electric horse power to be
shared equally by the two countries;
also three canals aggregating SO
miles in length, one of about eight
miles side-pass the dam, the second
about fifteen miles long to connect
Lake ST. Louis and Lake St. FRAMES
which are part of the river in the
Province of Quebec, and the third of
about ten miles around the LaChine
rapids near the entrance to the har-
Dor of Montreal.
Some Canal Figures.
Altogether these three canals will
have seven locks, each $50 feet long,
80 feet wide, with 80 feet of water on
the inter sill. The canals will be
made at least 25 feet deep at once
and deepened to 80 feet under the
engineers plow The estimated cost
is 1882 100000 for the 25-foot depth,
and $18,000,0O0 additional to deepen
the canal to 80 feet.
These three canals are in Canadian
territory, the one around the Inter
national Dam being in Ontario and
the other two in the Province of Que
bee. Beyond the 18th Parallel the
river is wholly within Canada where
the United States have no riparian
rights, and therefore the water flow
IN that section, estimated at 100000
horsepower, is left untouched as a
natural and bountiful heritage of
Canada to be developed in the future
as her people may determine.
Under Treaty made with Great
Britain in 1871, the United States
were granted the free use of the St.
Lawrence river forever, and Canada
was given free use of all the Great
Lakes and their connecting channels.
Canal Recomm endations.
Canada is now building at an ex-
pense of S60,000,000 or more, new
Welland Canal with a depth of Is
feet and locks of 80 feet on the inter
sill. This will be free to the vessels
Of the United States, as the old one
S now.
The international Joint Commission
recommends that the construction of |
his Canal be borne in part by the |
United States government, and that |
he navigation cost of the St.. Law
'ence be borne by the two govern
laents in proportion to their use of |
he waterway. These are details to
'e adjusted by treaty or legislation.
The proponents of the st. Lawrence |
'roject claim that the power incident
lily developed will be sufficient
o pay the interest charge, up
,eep, and ultimately to liquidate
he construction bonds. WhetherI]

North Ray, Ont, Oct. THE
property loss in the fire which swept
many towns in northern Ontario viii
probably aggregate between sever
million and eight million dollars The
loss of life will likely total between
80 and 40, while between $50 and 20C
farms were burned out, according to a
statement by Premier Drury Saturday
after trip over the stricken area
on a relief train.
The towns of North Cobalt, Thorn
loe Heaslip, Charlton and Uno Park
were destroyed. Haileybury was al
most destroyed and Engelbert suffered
considerable damage. New Liskeard
was q slight sufferer.
At Heaslip, John Bond, his wife
eight children and a hired man were
killed when storm cellar caved in
Rescuers found the bodies of Bond
and his wife with their arms entwined.
They had suffocated. Two daughters.
II and 1S, lay next, and in a corner
two smaller children were clasped in
each others arms, while the other
bodies we're nearby.
The only survivor of the family is
a boy 10 years old.
