ple this applies with special. We all

also shows that in trying to find the
correct solution of the problem, it
early becamo evident that certain iu-

while other interests demanded a
different kind of a canal. In this arti
cle all factors have been carefully
weighed, and the following different
classes of " canals are described and
considered: (1) A great ship canal
suited to ocean-going vessels; (2) a
ship canal suitable to vessels navigat
ing the great lakes; (3) a barge canal
suited to vessels of 1.000 to 2,000 tons
burden; and (4) a small canal suited to
