The project as a whole perhaps
might better be described as the deep
waterway from the Great Lakes to
tn sea, because when completed it
will be found that canals have been
deepened at Sault Ste. Marie and a
new Welland canal constructed be-
tween Lake Erie and Lake Ontario,
as well as the canals at points, with
canals at points along the st. Law
renee river, and with the construc-
tion of locks at all these places. The
work has already been completed at
Sault Ste. Marie and the new Wei
land canal will soon be completed by
the government Of Canada, since
that work is now well advanced. For
this reason attention has now been
centered upon the st. Lawrence river
where the work has yet to be done.
: ~-"e the habit of calling the whole
1oiect the st. Lawrence deep water
way.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1922-02-24

The st. Lawrence deep waterway
has come rapidly to the front during
the past few weeks-a year ago it
was looked upon largely as dream.
People talked Of, it much as talked
about the Panama canal project fifty
years ago. It seemed that far away
and problematical.
In. North Dakota the Fargo Forum
was one of the first newspapers to
urge the construction of deep wat
erway to the sea via the st. Law
renee river. At a time when but
few papers in the land regarded the
proposal as q practical proposition
the Fargo paper urged the UNDER
taking for it's great value to the
state of North Dakota and the whole
inland empire. Other papers quickly
joined in the fight. Duluth people,
realizing the value to their city
should it be given access to the sea,
organized to back the scheme and
sther Lake cities soon Joined with
them in urging prompt action. By
1920 80 much sentiment had been
sreated political parties began to re-
fer to the project in their platforms.
Then New York woke up. Busi-
ness men Of that city began to see
commerce slipping away from the
port Of New York. They hurriedly
organized opposition, the entire state
with perhaps the single exception of
st. Lawrence county, joining in the
shout Of protest. One of the things
IN this regard which has excited
wonder is the fact that Buffalo was
in some way induced to take the New
York City view. Many people out
side Of Buffalo see where that city
might become an ocean port through
the deepening and canalizing of the
st. Lawrence-to the infinite advan-
tage of that place. Indeed Walter
Dempsey, congressman from Buffalo,
and one Of the foremost opponents
Of the project, as chairman Of the
Rivers and Harbors committee where
it was believed, the bill would be re-
ferred had been counted upon by the
New, Workers. to kill the st. Lawren-
ee proposition before it should ever
reach the House Of Representatives.
However, a big boost came last
spring when the International Joint
High Commission, formed q number
Of years ago by the United States
and Canada to adjust water fisheries
and other matters Of an information
al character, announced that its en-
sineers had found the project feas-
ible both from the standpoint of
construction and Of it's economic pos
abilities when completed.
But the greatest stroke Of all
came when President Harding came
cut openly in favor Of the project.
The President, convinced that that
portion Of the farming population
living at the greatest distances from
both coasts would be benefited by
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1922-02-24

In the engineers report from the
international joint commission the
cost of construction of st. Lawren-
ce ship channel of twenty-five feet
draft is estimated at $262, 1000, 900,
and Of the Welland Canal at 60,000,-
900. The undertaking, it is propos-
led. shall be financed by sale of bonds
by the American and Canadian gov
ernments, and the bonds retired from
proceeds Of the sale Of the vast vol
ume of water-power developed.
The commission further recon-
mended that treaty with Canada be
made in order to carry out the
scheme.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1922-02-24

Despite the furries from various
elements in Congress, and the mes
sages going back and forth between
the White House and Crystal Hill,
the fate of the soldiers adjusted
compensation bill is, far from settled,
and if the bonus is being made q po-
litical corpse it is making some
d1Aadful noises in the process. Scare
headlines in the daily press herald
varying routes to the graveyard but
the House Ways and Means commit
tee is continuing to consider the bill
just. the same.
Right now the sales tax PROPOSE
tion offered by President Harding is
gathering momentum in the House
and while it has its foes the reaction
to the proposal is not provoking the
wrath that was called forth earlier
in the week by the tax features then
being considered. Friends in the
House still predict that the soldiers
bill will pass, and that the bill will
be one which will give the soldiers
their just deserts.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1922-02-24

The New York delegation, the
handspring Of the opposition forces,
still counted upon Chairman Demp-
sey Of the Rivers and Harbors COM
mittee to successfully sidetrack the
necessary legislation. In the mean
time, however, influential western
men had been in Communication with
the Speaker, urging the point that as
the forthcoming bill had to do with
transportation that it should be re-
ferred to the Committee on Inter-
state Commerce. Mr.. Dempsey chal-
lenged this action and moved that
the Presidents recommendation and
accompanying papers be sent to his
committee. After a spirited debate
the House settled the question, vo-
ting to send the body Of the bill to
the Commerce committee, while the
financial features Of the measures be
sent to the Committee on Ways and
Means. Thus these two committees
will control the bill, and the oppose
tion must now take their fight upon
the floor Of the House where the SEN
timent of the country may sit upon
the issue.
c. P. Craig Of Duluth, managing
director Of the deep waterway as
sociatioa, had headed the drive for
the canal project almost from its in
ception. Congressman George M.
Young of North Dakota, has also
had large part in the matter. He
was one Of the first of the North
western men to enlist in the cause
and has made a personal inspection
of all points where canalization will
be necessary. Mr.. Craig recently
communicated with Congressman
Young, thanking him for his part in
the fight. Young will also be in pos
ition to give much further assistance
since he is member of the Wavs
and Means Committee where the
bonding features Of the bill must be
considered.

the completion Of the Panama canal
has the country been asked to con-
slider such far-reaching undertaking
Of domestic and economic importance.

New York, May 24.-Three COM

land-are close to agreement, but the
other two-Brier Hill and Steel and
Tube of America-are not, Thomas

still hopeful that the merger would
be effected on a five company basis,
explaining that if the plan failed there
undoubtedly would be consolidation
of the three larger companies.
The Trlmbull Steel company, the
announcement said, was mentioned as
an integral part Of the merger when

May Delivery Wheat
Drops 6 Cents, Deals
for Year About Over

Chicago, May 24.--Prices for May
delivery of wheat here smashed heavily
downward Wednesday. Loss of six
cents a bushel overnight was shown in
the closing quotations for that month,
s1.32 to $1.32A, nearly % cents a
bushel loss since recent downward
swing of the market began.
Opinions among traders Wednesday
night were that leading interests on
both sides of the wheat market had
been getting out from under their bur-
dens and that instead of struggle last
ing until the end of the month, the
May deals of 1922 we're alerady vir-
tually completed, except perhaps for
pyrotechnic changes almost inevitable
from the winding up of huge transac-
tions.
The May deal is the trade expression
for contracts expiring this month and
calling for the delivery of wheat. Us
ually the May deal represents the final
of the bread grain grown
and forwarded to market during the
preceding II months, inasmuch as at
the. end of May the earliest harvesting
of new wheat is only as rule a fort
night or month off.

Washington. May 24-Democratie
members of the senate finance com
