CHICAGO, August 1.—A twe-way ship canal between Lakes Superior and Michigan, deep enough for ocean steamers, could be bullt at a rea- sonable cost and would divert to this route and to Chicago at least 76 per cent of the tonnage which now goes through Sault Ste. Marle, ac- cording to D. Chase Denison, 2 Chi- cago engineer. After surveying the territory through which it was proposed to build such a canal, Mr, Denison sald the best place for the cut-off route would be from a point near Au Train, Mich., on Lake Superjor, to the head- wa of the bay north of Eacanaba, Mich., on Lake Michigan. It was pointed out that any ship canal from Lake Michigan south to the Gulf of Mexico would require mgqre water than Lake Michigan could at' present supply. As an example the engineer showed that the Panama canal would be useless without the artificlal lake which keeps the canal full of water. And Lake Michigan, said, is shrinking. Since the govern- ment began to keep records, the sur- face of the lake Rln been lowered several inche: Half a century ago the lake was d to be slightly less | than 620 feet above the surface of the | ds Atlantic ocean and is now sald to be little more than 618 feet above ti Atlantic. According ‘to Mr. Denison, the greater part of this shrinkage has taken place during the last fif- teen years. Lake Superior Is Deep. “The water necessary for the gulf canal could be obtained from Lake Superior,” the engineer said. ‘Lake Superior is now_nearly twenty-one feet higher than Lake Michigan, but the bottom of Lake Superior goes down many hundred feet below the surface of the Atlantic. In many ca oa places in Lake Superfor it is not cer- E * _Tha Circle of Goodness. tain that the bottom has been reached even at four or five thousand feet, HMade inlWashington by M Autk Provision . ehile Take Michigan s comparative’ The many smaller lakes in territory surrounding Lake Superior are one to eight hundred feet above its surface. They receive much water, but have no surface river outlets.

Under the ground are unfailing springs of cold, pure water. “Every drop of water used in making Clicquot beverages comes from these springs. There is not the slightest chance for contami- nation anywhere. As a matter of fact, if we bottled this spring water exactly as it is drawn from the ground, we would undoubt- edly have a big demand for it as a table water. “But the purity of the water THE CLICQUOT CLUB COMPANY, Millis, Mass., U.

He pointed out that from Lake Mich- igan boats could go into Lake Calu- met for an inner harbor, and if the Tllinois drainage canal were changed for hoats, they could go thence to the Mississippl river and down to the Gulf of Mexico. U. S.-NORWAY SHIP CASE ARGUED IN HAGUE COURT American Law and Amount of Claims Is Exorbitant. By the Associated Press. THE HAGUE, August 1.—George ! Sutherland, chfet counsel for the United States «in the shipbuilding | case between the American agd Nor- | wegian__governments now being | heard by the permanent court of arbitration, yesterday opened the t for the American side of . The hearing s on Nor- claim for $16.500,000 as com. pensation for ocontracts owned by Norway and entered into by Ameri- can shipyards to construct freight | vessels during the war. Mr. Sutherland dwelt upon the enormous sacrifices in lives and treasure suffered during the war by America In the ‘protection of her own people, and also by the Norwegians, who, he declared, were also victims of German submarines, but who pre- ferred to remain neutral. The Nor- weglans who went to America and had ships built, he declared, did so solely with a view to their own profit angd, therefore, they had no claim on American gratitude on that score. Mr. Sutherland told the court that the Norwegians were claiming, in compensation and Interest, four times as much as they pi for the ships in question. He advanced legal arguments to prove that there had been no requisitioning of the Nor- weglan contracts. He declared the American government had only requisitioned ships that were under construction. The actual contracts, he argued, were already vold, being contrary to Amerl; law. WOMAN MADE SHERIFF.
