FAVORED AT CAPITAL
\V;ishington, March 3—Although
she war department's egniaeer co/p
Uas disapproved officially ' o; tao
project to have a canal from tie
Mississippi at St. Paul to La.;e
Superior, they have decided t'.:;:t
the ctizeus of that section shall
have a chance to be heard on tiio
proposal.
Date for hearing has not been of
ficially set, but the war department
has announced that full opportuni
ty will be given to all to present
their views on the matter.
The special board report shows
that a careful examination of the
project does not warrant the gov
trutcent in making the required
outlay, according to a recent offi
cial s'-atement.
Such a project would bo as srer.t.
or greater than the Erie canal pro
ject originally was. The cost woul 1
mount into millions, and t' e eu::':::
eers could not find that this amount
would be expended profitably.
