One of the finest addresses de- livered before the Kiwanis Club in a long time was that by Mr. Francis King, K.C., who spoke to the mem- bers Monday on the Chicago water diversion 'and, though his talk was Quite short, it proved highly inter- esting and contained valuable infor- mation, Mr. King showed a thor- ough knowledge of his subject and imparted his message in a clear and concise manner. Mr. King drew a picture of what would have happened in the old days in Egypt had some tribe or other diverted the flow of the Nile .in a different direction from its natural Course to use the water for their own selfish purposes, and he pointed oit what a great dea! of trouble would have occurred had this taken place. Pharaoh would certainly have made things lively had such a thing occurred. The speaker drew a com- parison of such a thing with the Chicago drainage system which is at the present time occupying the at- {tention of United States and Can- ada. - Mr, King drew attention to the fact that millions of dollars had been spent in the Great Lakes water- 'way, and it was now one of the most magnificent in the world, It had been developed at a tremendous cost, the water had been brought to a pro- per depth, docks had been placed at o| right height, unloading plants had li{ been erected along the route and if] channels had been dug. It was al- most impossible to give the cost of lll the work that Ziad been done, The ll| Welland canal alone will cost mil- i{ lions of dollars, With this great amount of money || expended, the speaker pointed out that here was Chicago diverting 10,- 000 cubic feet of water per second i from the flow and running it out | \through the Desplaines river to the Illinois river to the Mississippi river i] and to the Gulf of Mexico, instead of having it flow down the regular Great Lakes waterway, Mr. King brought it home to his audience just what this mednt.. It meant that six Inches of water would be taken off the water in the Great Lakes and would mean a very grave handicap to Great Lakes navigation. He fig- ured that it would be the loss of one ~~ | entire trip on the lakes in the sea- son and tMs meant a tremendous loss. The question of having this diver- sion reduced had been a long stand- ing one and the question was stiil being argued. Mr. King stated that this Chicago diversion was taking H}| care of the sewerage disposal of il] three and a half million people * of clothing on hand to clear at reduced prices . but we have aira with our Special Order rtment to give a 20% discount on all orders "taken during February.

In 1890 the sanitary gistrict was organized, consisting of fitty cities and villages around Chicago. This of course drew from the Gréat Lakes 1 system and ran through Desplaines river and on to the Gulf of Mexico and the flow has been getting more and more until it has reached 10, 000 cubic feet per second. This flow, which runs to Lockport can carry the biggest lake ship, so an idea of how much water is being | diverted can be gained from this.' Mr. King pointed out the great danger of this new water system in contrast to the Great Lakes, The United States was having its own Hi}| time over it, and Canada could only protest against it. The speaker felt sure that favorable action would be taken in que time. Engineérs had pointed out that 1,000 cubic feet 'per second was suficlent to take care of the Chicago sewerage system, and he felt that congress would gradually reduce the diversion very materially, + Mr. King was tendered a very hearty vote of thanks on motion of Kiwanian Ambrose Shea, the mé- tloh being seconded by Kiwanian J.
