There were 48 locks and a total drop of -550 feet on the Welland canal.` It was proposed to deepen that canal, but the cost rwould be enormous compared with twhat it `would cost to complete the Trent Valley canal. Referring to the.French river route, Mr. Cul- verwell said he favoured its carry- ing out as `a. barge route, as soon as the Trent Valley canal had been com- pleted. Ship canals he considered not so economical as barge canals. V There would be plenty of freight for both routes; Mr. Culverwell expressed the hope that the section connecting Balsam Lake and`_Lake.

WELL TRENT YALLY CANAL Mr. Culverwell entered into inter- esting bomparisons of the Trent Val- u le-y canal with other routes. He first pointe'd out that far from being obselete, -barge canals were held tct be the most ,economical of freight car- 3 riers by the most eminent authorities, 1, and that both the United Statesand ((3 I 1 I I 1 S Germany were spending immense sums of money in perfecting their barge systems. The old Erie canal i had cut the freight rate from Buffa- - 10 `to NeWeYork from $90 to $9 a ton. - It"had now been decided to spend : '$100,000,000 in perfecting and . en- larging `the Erie canal, in order to`-N 5 give a ten-foot draft and to increase F the `capacity from a 250 to a 1,000- lv ton barge, whereas the Trent Valley 3 canal. which could be completed for P $5,000,000, would -have [eight feet ' draft and would accommodate an 0 800-ton `barge. Moreover. the Trent f route was` very much shorter than 11 the Erie. The Commission which had 3 looked into` the advisability of spend- l' ing the `immense slim on the Erie ca- B rial reported` that there was no pro- `*1 bability that the railways would `ever -'3. bein a position to carry grain `at L-~*-- --t-I--I-' :+~...mM m-nrfitablv > . : ,.~> '.i' 7` - ~ - - , _____ W18 [512 the . you feel unnaturally chilly; - .When your back` achesvwith a dull pain; V When your bowels a1'e.inactive, or when `the kidney secretions are not normal; ` T N, _,._j_.. 13.. -__-_ -.. _.. -.4 O 1 Iiuovnn Ivy. --.vwv the ankles or wr1sts-; `ne _ When ying pains bother ;UD LIL U: yvuguuv... -- even twice what i The standard kidney regulator and tonic.
