topic. Great Importance was attached to scour¬ 
ing to Canada and the West that vast trade via

cure by improving the old, and opening new 
roules. The new ones are the Georgiuu Bay 
Canal and the Ottawa Canal, The former would 
run, via Lake Simcoo, from the Georgian Bay, 
on Lake Huron, to Lake Ontario, near Toronto. 
Its length would bo00 miles, wtth 535 l'eet lock-* 
ago, as against 319) on the Welland, The cost for 
vessels of the class indicated would bo about 
$30,000,000. The Ottawa Canal route would be 
from Lake Huron, via French River and Lake 
Nipissing, to the MattitWan, a tributary of the 
Ottawa, and down the last named river t. Mon¬ 
treal. This canal would shorten the distance be¬ 
tween Duluth or Chicago and Montreal by 430 
miles. With 10 feet of water, the cost would bo 
$24,000,000. _
