Offerings of hay by producera are
growing larger because of the mild
weather. At this time a year ago
weather conditions were rather se
vere all through the Northwest, but
to date this season there has been lit
tle need for feeding. Those who have
large supplies or hay are seeking an
outlet but are finding little encourage
ment from the buyers because of the
large auppnee held by the latter. Then,
too. buyers do -not seek a lower range

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 28. Superin
tendent of Public Works F. C. Stevens,
In his annual report, recommenda that
congress be memorialised to join with
the state in constructing a deep water-
wa;
O
He points out that Canada is plan
nlng to build a deep waterway, knows
as the ottawa-oregon iiay route, con
necting Georgian bay with the St
Lawrence river. This will provide the
shortest outlet by water for the grain,
forest and mining , products of the
great northwest, ' and he doubts
whether should this be completed, the
state, with only a 1.000-ton canal, could
nope to compete with Canada ior tne
great lakes traffic.
"oanaaa," ne says, -in tne race for
commerce, must be dealt with as a
rival.
The only hope of restoring to New
York and to the nation transportation
supremacy is to construct a 21-foot
canal between the Hudson river and
Lake Ontario on the line of the present
barge canal. The federal government
made a survey In 1900 for a waterway
21 feet deep, connecting Lake Eria
with the tide waters of the Hudaon
river, the estimate being 3198,000,000.
Superintendent Stevens favors thla
plan.
