The Busy Optical House THE BUSY OPTICAL HOUSE The ! power scheme has the support of the east and the transportation scheme the support of the west, and in view | of this it is not likely that the op- ponents will succeed in obstructing the approval of the work by both countries. The only question that is of real concern is when will the work be started ? { One engineer presented. a plan in | connection with the ytilization of the | power by which he would link up { many of the large cities of the t- | ern states, including Boston, Ra. | York and Philadelphia. The indus- | trial possibilities of the east are b yond anything ever before thought of and Canada should get her share. { Mr. Campbell did not think that the deepening of the St. Lawrence would affect Kingston's harbor 'improve- ment scheme and we stood to gain by the development of both propos- als. Americans realized that the St. Lawrence was a continental asset and as an unrivaled means of transporta- tion should be available to 'the great west. It was the natural outled from the very heart of the North American continent to the ocean trade routes and nothing should be permitted to obatruat its free use, Being inter- national, it offered the same advan- tage to both countries, and while the east did not favor the improvement to transportation it did want the power; and it-was seriously asserted by one engineer that the power would pay for the deepening of the chan- nels. The welght of opinion was in favor of going ahead with the inter- national project. The commission is. going to the west, where ft will hold hearings In all of © the large cities.
