Paul, an American Contrac- tor. | Peking, April 25—W. P. Carer of St. Paul, Minn., an American contrac- tor, who 1a considering the improve- |ment of ®he Grand Canal in Shantung and Kiangsi provinces, has recently returned from a tour of inspection and bas announced that the plan presents no_great engineering difficulties. The plan involves the reclamation many hundreds of thousands acres land which now lle in lake-beds or | districts subjected to the over-flow of the Yellow River and other streams in the canal desin, some of which have of of the waters of many of these pase into the canal, which was built through districts where formerly lakes afforded reservoirs for the flood wa ters. Of recent years the canal has been greatly neglected. In places now the water is not more than six inches deep in dry times and the-banks have been badiy damaged by high water. Consequently the government is un- able to derive the tolls which is should have from such an important water- way. Furthermore much of the ter- ritory adjoining the canal hps fallen into neglect, and the nelghboring pop- ulation suffers much from fiood and famine. Plans have been under consideration for many years for the reclamation of the great area tributary to the por- tion of the Grand Camal which jes between the Yellow River in Shan- tung province and the Yang-tse river in Kiangsi province. It has been es- timated that the cost of restoring the canal and diking the streams in sud: a manfler that flood water could be | carricd to the sea, or allowed to pass off through the canal, would be ¢hirty milion dolars gold. The expemse of tifs improvement would, In the opin- ion of exports, before tham met by the value ®f the government land ac- tually reclaimed. Furthermors Increased value of the private lands subject to flood would be very great and an improvement tax could be justiy levied on these. With the wa- terway in perfect repairs, the tolls would be very large taroughout the year. The American Red Cross and other agencles have been interested in ex- ploiting the possibilities of this plan, .and have assisted the Chinese govern- ment In bringing it to the atention of foreign financiers. With the sale of reclaimed land, the pessible improvement taxes and the invereased tolis would pay for the im- provement within a very few years, the difficulty has been in raising the money for the initial cost of the work. C. D. Jameson, the engineer represent- ing the American Red Cross, H. Van- dervecn, consalting engineer of the Chinese National Conservancy Bureau and a number of other engineers have investigated the project, and report- €d favorably upon it. _The Chinese government desires to have the two provinces through which the section of the canal runs, take a special part In the improvement, and Mr. Carey has visited the governors of these two provinces for the purpose of geting thelr views on the conserv. ancy work. Should Mr. Carey decide, after a complete reconnaisance, that the can- al restoration can be carried out pro- fitably, it is likely the Chinese govern- American loan to put the through. cheme —_—y MOTHER GAINED 30 POUNDS Fath John' Medicine Gave Her New Health and Strength, Helped the Children, She Says Ida M.
