Low Freight, New Horse
Power, Great Seaway But
Few Benefits.
By WILLIAM B. McKINLEY.
Editor's Note. Senator William B.
McKinley, of Illinois, a member of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations,
has taken a great interest in the pro
posed opening of the St.. Lawrence river
to ocean traffic. Through that interest
he has made extensive investigations
into every angle of the possibilities,
cost labor, benefits to all classes, de
velopment of new power, et cetera. His
article will impress you with the great
ness of the project, perhaps may make
you an enthusiastic supporter of the
move.
Briefly, the advocates of the St. Law-
rence seaway propose to improve the
channel of that river between Lake. On
tario and Montreal to a depth of thirty
feet, so that lake carriers can reach
Montreal, and ocean freighters can enter
and depart from the Great Lakes, using
the Wetland Canal between Lake On
tario and Lake Erie, and the other con
necting channels to Lake Huron, Lake
Michigan, and Lake Superior.
They ask that the plans recommend
ed by the International Board of En
gineers and approved by the Interna
tional Joint Commission be carried out
under a treaty between the United
States and Canada, and legislation by
Congress and by Parliament.
This plan contemplates a dam in the
river between New York and Ontario,
which will flood rapids and incidentally
develop about 1,600,000 hydro-electric
horse power to be shared equally by the
two countries; also three canals aggre
gating 33 miles in length, one of about
eight miles side-pass the dam, the sec
ond about fifteen miles long to connect
Lake St. Louis and Lake St. Francis
which are part of the river in the Prov
ince of Quebec, and the third of about
ten miles around the LaChine rapids
near the entrance to the harbor of Mon
treal. Some Canal Figures.
Altogether these three canals will
have seven locks, each 850 feet long, 80
feet wide, with 30 feet of water on the
miter sill. The canals will be made at
least 25 feet deep at once and deepened
to 30 feet under the engineer's plan. The
estimated cost is $250,000,000 for the 25
foot depth, and (18,000,000 additional to
deepen the canal to 30 feet.
These three canals are in Canadian
territory, the one around the Interna
tional Dam being in Ontario and the
other two in the Province of Quebec.
Beyond the 45th parallel the river is
wholly within Canada where the United
States have no riparian rights, and
therefore the water flow in that section.
estimated at 2,500,000 horsepower, is left
untouched as a natural and bountiful
heritage of Canada to be developed in
the future as her people may determine,
Under a treaty made with Great Brit
ain in 1871, the United States were
granted the free use of the St. Lawrence
river forever, and Canada was given free
use of all of the Great Lakes and their
connecting channels.
Canal Recommendations.
Canada is now building at an expense
of $60,000,000 or more, a new Welland
canal with a depth of 25 feet and locks
of 30 feet on the miter sill. This will
be free to the vessels of the United
States, as the old one is now.
The International Joint Commission
recommends that the construction of
this canal be borne in part by the Uni
ted States government, and that the nav
igation cost of the St. Lawrence be borne
by the two countries in proportion to
their use of the waterway. These are
details to be adjusted by treaty or legis
lation.
The proponents of the St. Lawrence
project claim that the power incident
ally developed will be sufficient to pay
the interest charge, upkeep, and ultim
ately to liquidate the construction bonds.
Whether the proceeds shall be used or
not is a question for Congress.
They contend that the annual saving
to producer and consumer, through
cheaper transportation, will equal or
exceed the total cost of the project.
Standard Waterways.
They feel that this development of
the St. Lawrenoe would standardise
waterways and safe transfers just as we-
did with the narrow gauge by standard
ising railways half a century ago.
They are convinced that while the
West will be greatly benefitted by the
St. Lawrence seaway which will provide
cheaper transportation for the products
to market, the East will be doubly blest,
for an addition to tha cheaper trans
portation of food products to its ports
and better means of reaching the heart
of the continent with the output of its
mills, its industries will be immeasura
bly quickened by alectrie energy.
The ton-mileage of the Middle West
substantially doubles every decade, and
railway terminals are already inade
quate. The railway companies cannot
secure eapital and make improvements
fast eneugh to remove or prevent ter
minal congestion. Unless some other
outlet is provided, the West must slow
down, and to retard its development
would mean a hunger-strike in the East
where its products find their readiest
market.
Some Caaal Benefits.
When Western products reach Buf
falo they are nearer Liverpool than
when they get to New York. Why, then,
should they at great expense go by rail
or canal 500 miles-out of their coarse,
when they can be water-bourne in ocean
freighters direct to their destination?
The advocates of this project stand
for modern, economic methods. The ox-
cart was not to be despised in its day,
but its mission has been fulfilled. The
I overland stage coach waa once a prince
' ly way to travel, but the railway has
driven it from the field. Columbus found
a continent with his little wind-blown
Caravel, but most folks prefer the ocean
liner now. We used to load and unload
boats with a wheelbarrow and shovel.
but labor-saving devices have come in
recent years. Freight cargoes were for-
merly transferred at every railway junc
l tion. but through-shipments were soon
1 discovered to be cheaper and economic
law at last prevailed.
Why should not these same principles
be applied to our lake and ocean com
merce? The producer does not retain for
himself all the benefits that flow from
new inventions and cheaper methods of
production; so, too, the saving to be

AVISS AlARIE NORTON
The son of multi-millionaire
Harry Payne Whitney, Cornetiuj
Vanderbilt Whitney, has been asked
to give his name to the lo-month-old
baby of Miss Evan Burrows
Fontaine, noted Oriental dancer of
New York.
The action was started when the
engagement of young Whitney to
Miss Marie Norton, society girl of'
New York, was announced.
The dancer claims young Whit
'ney wanted to marry her while he
was student at Yale but she refused
as theirs was a true love match and
she didn't want to hurt his career.
He grew cold, she says, when she
told him of the baby, which she
now calls Cornelius Vanderbilt
Whitney, Jr.
It's a name not gold that my baby
wants, she says.
Miss Norton says her friendship
for young Whitney is unchanged.

Legumes Are Good Feed
And Also Soil Builders
Alfalfa, Clovers, and Podded Plaati Have
Special Importance In Perma
nent Agriculture.
Chemical analysis of Oregon legumes
that will give farmers a better know
ledge of their fertiliser requirements
and assure them a place in their farm
ing systems are nearing completion at
the agricultural college experiment sta
tion. The investigations will determine the
mineral content of the leading Oregon
legumes, and develop information that
will be of vajue to livestock feeders.
"Legumes such as alfalfa, red clover,
alsike, vetches and peas and beans are
not only high in feeding value but excel
lent rejuvenators of soils," said J. S.
Jones, agricultural chemist at the sta
tion in charge of the investigations.
"They have special importance in agri
culture as they can be innoculated with
nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Continuous
growing of small grains has given west
ern Oregon much rundown lands, which
a wider knowledge and use of legumes
will do a great deal to correct."
Many samples of legumes used gener
ally for feeding or soil renewal have
been carefully analyzed to determine
feeding and fertility content and value.
The analyses will be followed by nu
tritional study to determine their feed
ing value. No work in animal nutrition
has yet been conducted in Oregon, and
these studies will prove valuable to live
stock men, Professor Jones believes.
A summary of the work on legumes
and hay Is expected to be ready for dis-.
trlbution in a few weeks.

To Presbyterians
(Editor's Note: Rev. Matthews is a
Presbyterian minister In the. First
Church at Seattle, Wash.)
The Presbyterian Church has been
one of the greatest forces for liberty,
education, and evangelism America
has ever had, I think. It was the au
thor of modern representative Repub
lican government.
I think America owes much of her
government to the Presbyterian
Church. She has been one of the gov
ernment's greatest examples and most
powerful defender. In the old days
the Presbyterian church's adherence
to doctrines and principles, added to
the strength, character, and integrity
of American citizenship. In these lat
ter days, it seems to me, she has come
upon perilous times.
FIRST. The " Presbyterian Church
commits a folly and sin if she per
mits Infamous heretics who deny the
deity of Christ and the infallibility
of the Bible to stay in her ranks and
to occupy her pulpits. I insist she
has no right to allow such enemies
'of God, of home, and of government
to carry her name, I think a Presby
terian minister who denies the deity
of Christ or the infallible Word of
Tev MA. MATTHEWS
D.D. U-.D.
God and continues to occupy a Pres
byterian pulpit is drawing his money
under falsa pretenses, We have all
taken oath to teach the deity of
Christ and the infallibility of God's
Word, and for that we receive posi
tion and compensation.
SECOND The Presbyterian Church
commits a folly when she becomes a
meal ticket for faddist and place
hunters who constantly devise
schemes and plans and organisations
to increase their power, patronage
and patrimony. They live and work
exclusively that they may subsist up
on such efforts,
THIRD The Presbyterian Church
commits a folly when she permits her
enemies to begin to build machinery
and centralise her government, there
by detracting from her power.
I don't believe Presbyterians will
submit to centralized power nor to
dictation by agents and machines.
They crushed that kind of power
once, 1 hops they will crush it again,
It must be crushed in governments
and It must be erushed in the church.
Tha Presbyterian Church should
return to the sovereignity and power
and supremacy of her Presbyterian
government and to the control by hsr
presbyteries.
Hear my pleal Awake, grand old
Church of liberty, righteousness and
evangelism.
