GREAT ENGINEERING
OCEAN STEAMSHIPS BETWEEN
NEW YORK AND CHICAOO.
A $200,000,000 Ship Canal to Con¬
acre liitlic Erie With the Sea¬
board— l>lflli'iiltics Overcome.
Y 1 I 7UK fered boldest for plans ship canal hitherto between of*
, a
Lake Erie and the seaboard
. have nono of them contem¬
plated less than thirty-five locks, and
one of the most feasible would have
required fifty-five. To bo adequate
for the traffic they wonld boar these
locks would have to bo as capacious as
the new lock at Sault Hto. Marie, the
largest and finest in the world. The
latter is 80ft feet long, 100 feet wide
and 21 * feet deep, and is costing
more than $5,000,000. With locks
like the Sault, the cost for lifts alone
for the contemplated ship canal would
bo at least $175,000,000 on tho Ht.
Lawrence route, and upwards of
$260,000,000 on what is known as tho
Oswego route, piat is to say, from Os¬
wego to the Hudson. [So long as nine¬
teenth century engineering was unable
to advance beyond tho lock invonted
by Leonardo da Vinci, about the time
that Columbus discovered America,
the problem could not be solved. The
cost would have been too great for
even Government undertaking.
It has remained for an American en¬
gineer to cut tho Gordian knot by the
invention of a new lock, exceedingly
simple in design, easy and cheap of
construction, and quickly and inex
ponsivley operated. In 1800 Chaun
coy N. Dutton, a young Pittsburg en¬
gineer, took out in the principal
countries in tho world letters patent
for what, he described hh a pneumatic
balance lock, llis design, revolution¬
ary as it was. seemed, on the whole, so
simple that engineers stared in won¬
derment that no one had thought, of it
before. Colonel Haskell had already
applied the compressed nir principle
to the pneumatic dry dock, now in use
in all countries. Mr. Dutton pro¬
posed simply to make the pneumatic
dry dock into u wot dock by building
up tho side walls and putting m end
gates between thorn. Simple as this
device appears, it puts navigation 1 y
hydraulics upon an entirely new basis,
and, in tho judgment of the most, era
luent engineers, must revolutionize
canal construction all over tho world.
It is from the invention of the pneu¬
matic balance lock that, Mr. Dutton
has developed his lingo scheme for a
maritime canal, which has recently
been before Congress atul the Legisla¬
ture at Albany. It will extend from
the mouth of the Welland Canal on
Lake Erie, utilize a portion of that
canal, descend, by a pair of locks sot
tandem, into tho Niagara Kiver at, n
point about opposite Lewiston, utilize
ami enlarge the present Canadian
canal system along tho St,. Lawrence
Kiver as far as Lake St. Francis, and
there fork in two directions, one arm
will reach by a new canal to Montreal,
and thende by tho St. Lawrence River
to the sea, while another will extend
from Lake St. Francis to Lake Cham¬
plain, reverse the current of that lake,
and reach from tho lower end of
Champlain to Waterford, on the Hud¬
son Kiver. It will involve only about
ninety miles of artiiloial canals, and
afterwards fifteen miles of this will be
cut out bv tho construction of a new
canal from Lewiston, on the Niagara
River, to a point above the Falls on
the American aide. Tho project will
require the expenditure of a vast sura
of money, but Mr. Dutton lias asso¬
ciated with him some of the best
known engineers in the country, to¬
gether with a number of heavy capi¬
talists, and it is proposed to construct
this gigautio system without a dol¬
lar of subsidy from either the
Canadian or United States Govern¬
ment. The Canadian Parliament in
chartering the North American Canal
Compauy two years ago, gave it the
right to use the summit levels of the
Canadian canal system along the St.
Lawreuco and across the Welland Pen¬
insula, to acquire aud enlarge any
present looks, aud to construct, such
uew locks aud canals as will be re¬
quired to complete the enterprise.
Such National legislation as is needed
in this oountry lias been introduced
in Congress by Senator Allison, of
Iowa.
Specifically, Mr. Dutton proposes
to build a canal equipped with locks
of sufficient size so that an ocean
freighter like the Cevic may sail at
river speed from New York to Chicago,
and that without material interrup¬
tion. He proposes a canal system with
loqfcs of 2 ft feet draught, 05 feet wide,
and 510 feet clear length, which will
lift vessels carrying 12,000 tons of
freight. In place of the thirty-five to
fifty-five locks required in any other
plan yet proposed for a similar oanal,
this project involves but five. In a
word, instead of an estimated expen¬
diture of at least $ 200 , 000,000 for
looks, the latter, under the new con¬
struction, will not require more than
$15,000,000. The projector estimates
that to carry the first ocean steamship
from New York to Chicago will re¬
quire the expenditure of $ 100 , 000 ,*
000 , and to complete the canal to en¬
able vessels like the Cevic to make
river speea through the dredged chan¬
nels will require t he outlay of as much
again—in all, some $ 200 , 000 , 000 . -

Proin the Journal, Kirkstillr, Mo.
Hanry Oehrko Is a thrifty and prosperous
German farmer living four miles south of
bullion, in this CAdairl County, Mo. Mr.
Gohrke has a valuable farm and ho lias been a
resident of the county for years. He is very
Well-known hereabouts and well respected
wherever he is known. Last week a reporter
of the Journal stopped at Mr. Oehrke’s anil
while there became much interested In Mrs.
Gehrkn’s account of the benefit she had not
long since experienced from the use of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. 8he
said she wanted nverylmdy to know what a
great medicine those pills are. but os so many
people are praising them uow-a-days. she
modestly doubted whether her testimony
could add anything to jvhat others had al¬
ready said of them. Iler only reason for
talking for publication about Pink Pills was
that the people of Adair and neighboring
counties might be convinced, if any donbteil
that oft-pnbllshed testimonials concerning
Pink Pills were genuine statements from the
the lips of persons who have been benefited by
use of them. Speaking of her own in¬
teresting experience, Mrs. Gohrke said:
“A little over a year ago I was completely
broken down. I had boon taking medicine
from a doctor but grew worse and worse un¬
til I could scarcely go about at all. The
least exertion or the mere bending of my
body would cause me to have smothering
spells, and the suffering was terrible. I
thought it was caused by iny heart. When
everything I else had failoil to relievo me anil
had given up all hopes of ever being any¬
thing but a helpless invali 1. I chanced to
read some testimonials in the Farm. Field
Orel Fireside , also in the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
and the suffering of the people who made
the statements were so nearly like the suf¬
they fering I had endured that when I read that
Dr. Williams’ were so greatly benefited by the use of
Pink Pills for Palo People
I did not hesitate to go at once and pur
■ehasn two boxes. I took them according to
directions nnd before the first box was used I
felt n good bit better. Really (he first doso
convinced me that it was a great remedy.
Before tho two boxes wtre used up I sent
my husband after three more boxes, so I
would not ho without them. When I had
used these three boxes I felt like a different
woman and thought I was almost cured.
•‘Since that time I have neen taking thorn
whenever I began to feel badly. When I
began taking Dr. Williams' Pink rills for
Pale People I weighed only 113 pounds and
after I had been using the medicine for about
six months I weighed 122 pounds. I have
had a good appotite ever since I commenced
taking Pink Pills and instead of mincing
along, picking such food as 1 could eat even
with an effort. 1 eat most anything that
comes on the table. I am not tho invalid I
was. I do not have to be waited upon now
as if 1 was a helpless child, but I work all
the time, doing the housework and ironing
and working in the garden without that
dreadful feeling which comes over a person
when they are afraid they are going to have
one of those that I used to have.
‘•Work don’t hurt me anymore. I hon¬
estly Williams’ believe that had it not been for Dr.
Pink Pills I would now be in my
grave. I still have what the doctor calls
bilious colic, but the Pink Pills have mnde
me much better and the spoils are not so fro
quent and are nothing like as painful as be¬
fore I began to use them. I would not he
without the rink Tills for that disease alone
trader any circumstances to say nothing of
the other diseases for whioh they are espe¬
cially recommended. I take pleasure in tell¬
ing my neig hbors the benefits I have received
from Dr. Wi Illinois’ Pink Tills for Pale Peo
pie, aud know of several who have benefited taken
my advice and have been greatly
by them.”
Dr. Williams’ rink Tills for Pale People
are considered an unfailing speciflo for
such diseases as locomotor atuxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neu¬ the
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, tho
aftereffects of la grippe, palpitation of
heart, pale and sallow complexions, that
tired feeling resulting from nervous pros¬
tration; all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. They arc also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect a
radicial cure in all eases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses of
whatever nature. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
