Deep Waterway
Not Probable

Madison. Prospects of a deep
waterway through Wisconsin from
Green Bay to the Mississippi recently
revived in congress are remote and not
likely to be realized, according to
O.. D. Brandenburg, retired Madison
newspaper editor.
Brandenburg who has recently
studied water level and flood condi-
tions at the source of the Fox river
near Portage, factor in the proposed
channel, believes advent of railroads
and paved highways have made ship
canals dead issue. f
During Wisconsin's territorial
days." he said, "a project was launch
ed and money spent on a proposed
waterway between Milwaukee and "a
navigable point on the Rock river
After work had been started at the
Milwaukee end, however, the bonds
authorized by the territorial legisla-
ture were. repudiated by the first
state legislature and the project kill
ed.
Such canal as that now proposed
would be of little benefit until extensive
improvements are made on the Miss
issippi river itself The Mississippi
as waterway now is doing no trans
portation duties which would make
connection with inland Wisconsin
towns of any practical value"
