Mr. Beardsley beljeved that there are a great many disadvantages to the project which is being planned at present. The speaker told how the prepon- ents of the argument are advocating cheaper grain rates for the western farmers and better pnv.er far the people living in the New England states. He also said that the pro- ponents of the argument believed that the lakeports could be made to be as efficient as ocean ports. Mr. Beardsley stated that the price of grain is being transported at a cheap price per bushel and he diq not believe that if the waterway ghould be established that the transportation priee would be cheaper. He also stated that the canal in the St Lawrence river-is only about 19 feet deep and an ocean liner could not go up a canal unless it was 25 or 30 feet deep. The speaker admitted that the St.} Lawrence river is one of the best reg- | ulated flowing streams in the country and that good power could be obtain- ed from it. He stated, however, that the project would cost millions of dollars in addition to the price of earrying the pawer to New England. | LOBSTERMEN OPPOSED ' New London, May 18.—Noanik lob- stermen have sent an appeal! to Sen-| ator Frank B.
