M. Campbell Seeks to Have Thing For John M. Campbell's harbor {m-; provement scheme by which King- ston will become the greatest tran- | shipping port for the entire grain | business of western Canada and ef central and northern states, is one | that marks him as one of the Soar! est transportation authorities in Am- erica today. It was a big achievement | to arouse more than half a continent to the recognition of the merits of hig solution of the difficulties in the way | of cheaper rates by 'land and water | and of the possibilities that lay in, the fullest development of the gréat | continental waterway for transporta- | tion and power. For, it must be stat- | ed in' dealing with the subject of the | Kingston harbor that the deep wat | erway scheme grew out of it, as did the claims of Kingston to the tran- shipping elevators as a part of the New Welland development, grow out of the proposals to enlarge the canals | in order to increase the carrying ca- | pacity of the inland steamers. This | Was quite natural as Kingston was| the foot of the deep-water navigation | between Port Arthur and Montreal, | but it was pressure of Kingston's | cladms that gave rise to the poseibil- | ities of eliminating entirely the ne-| cessity for transhipping elevators by | Providing deep water all the way to | | the sea, thus permitting ocean-going | | vessels to make the continuous. trip | from Liverpool to Port Arthur and | return. | { -------- Campbell's Power Projects, John M. Campbell is a practical engineer and he specialized on elec- | tricity. Indeed, he installed the first electric light plant in Kingston, and he has followed the development In} this particular branch of science | | while carrying on other important | | undertakings, For five-years he was h- | general manager of an electric rail- | | way at Rochester, N.Y., a line sixty | miles long, where he was eminently | | successful. At Kingston Mills he | harnessed the waterfall and his gen- erating plant there provides power for the farmers of the vicinity as well as serving 'as an aexillary to Kingston in emergencies. But his mind was engrossed with the pro- blems of transportation and ft was but natural for him when Kingston lost its steamboat service to the Bay of Quinte popts" and the tourist reutes through the Thousand Islands, to seek to restore it and he did. An | | { | | | indefatigable worker though he 1s, | | and possessing a mind fertile with | | Ideas, he has such a capacity for der | | tails that he subjects everything .to the test of practical utility, A thing | na to be worth something as meas- | ured by dollars and cents, has to per- | form a service Commensurate with | capital investment, and, when John | | M.

The plans call for the erection of [several immense modern elevators | constructed. of steel and | with a capacity of several | bushels of grain. They will be equip | ped s0 as to unload and load big car- | riers within tthe shortest space of | [ere » There will also be suitable | wharves and sheds for trains of cars from the Canadian Pacific and the | | Canadian National Railways whose | | engineers have investigated the pro-| | posal and approved of the entire! | plans.

There are no engineering difficult les to be encountered in the work, and the materials required are right at hand.

This alone re. quired a great deal of time and he had much opposition to overcome, ® are good reasons why a start should be made, aside altogether from the need of providing employ- ment for Kingston workmen, Year by year the volume of Can- Erain going to Europe by way of New York has been increasing and merican shippers and transporta- | { § Arthur. | works, {any year. | & LAST EDITION. ENT SCHEME FOR THE KINGSTON HARBOR the Work Started At Once And to Give Employment to 500 Men-Big Kingston. tion companies have directed their [energies to capturing the bulk of the business. They have been able by the erection of big elevators at Buffalo to make that a desirdble un~ loading point for vessels from Port Since the New Welland was startéd they have turned their atten- tion to Oswego and the Erie canal with the.object of diverting the wheat that reached Lake Ontarlo, and if we fail to meet the situation in time we may be too late to secure loading point for vessels from oPre¢ anything for Kingston. With elevats ors at Kingston we would inevitably, draw the trade away from Buffalo because grain can be carried do the St. Lawrence cheaper than by rail to New York. The only important <oneideration entering into this matter is the late est proposal to provide deep water navigation to the sea. This, how< ever, is yet in the nebulous stage, It' Is being investigated and years must elapse, according to estimates of both the Canadian and American engin eers in the employ of the Internation~ al Waterways Joint Commission, be fore even .a start will be made, Mr.| Bowden 'estimates that even after an! International agreement has been! reached it will be five or ten years' before preparations will be made to start on the first dam and eight years' will elapse before we will see the Work completed. So it is seen that: provision must be made for tranship- ping grain at the foot of the deep Water, viz at Kingston, for the next lwenty years at least, No Reason For Delay. Mr. Campbell goes no good reason for delaying the Kingston harbor, as they will be an absolute necessity, There are now nearly 4 50,000,000 bushels of grain in stor age at the head of the lakes, a condi- tion of congestion that should not exist at the close of the/fiavigation in With the elevators erect~ 'd here the carrying ¢ompinies would be in a position to make ample pro- vision in the way .of suitable vessels to keep Port Arthur and Fort Will fam from becoming congested and thus accommodate the farmers of the west who complain bitterly over the high rallway rates to the sea ports. A Big Thing For Kingston, What this medns to Kingston may be realized when we consider the in- itial expenditure of $3,000,000 and the large number of men employed but thre will be g large annual ex- penditure directly due to the press ence of the glevators and the large number of vessels that will be berth- ed every winter and outfitted in the spring.' It will mean continuous work for the shipbuilding plant in the way of repairs to ships and ma- chipery, and a total annual expendi ture right here upon ships and' ele vators of approximately $400,000, The business men of Kingston know what this will mean to the. city and they are behind Mr. Camp= bell, irrespective of politics. They aré out to support him because they know that be is determined to bend all bis energies, it elected to parlia- ment, to bring about the immediate undertakin gof this important harb- or work.
