We gave to our readers recently a synopsis of the report of a New York firm of engineers on the proposed Power development of the St. Law- rence in conjunction with the deep | waterway scheme, but in that report the question of transportation was dealt with in, detail. This question { has been the subject of close investi- tet | gation by the Canadian Deep Water: It there fs no other way to revive | ways and Power Association, which legitimate business, we might pass a | j4 engaged 'in promoting this great law prohibiting it. project. pressing for the deepening of the St. Lawrence from Lake Ontario to the sea. In the United States the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Asso- ciation is actively promoting the scheme, and fourteen states are band. ed together in an organization to help put it through. These states are de- termined that the great inland em- pire shall be brought into direct com- mercial communication With the world and they regard the St. Law- rence route as their natural outlet. Hon, Irvine L, Lenroot, « United States semator from Wisconsin, one ot the leaders in the "Lakes-to- Ocean" campaign, voicing the need of the west for greater transportation facilities, says: "Our great railway systems running east and west from the Atlantic ocean to Chicago are actually suffering from too much business; that is, the volume of transportation: is much greater than existing facilities can properly take care of, and to provide adequate ad- ditional facilities would cost many hundreds of millions of dollars." He quotes James J. Hill, the great Ame erican road builder, as saying short- ly before his death that the railroads would need a billion dollars a year for several years to properly take care of their increasing business. In the Iast six years the volume of trans- portation has increased fortydeven per cent., while the railway facilities have increased but a little over one per cent. There was a break down of the roads in 1917 due to the conges- tion from Pittsburgh east, and espec- lally at the port of New York, repre- --c-- a cana ] Oh, very well.

Frantically the farmer pulled the ears from the stalks, but the new man kept gaining. Then all at once he heard the farmer shout. "Stop!" he yelled. {'Stop, if you want to work for me.
