New York. Feb. 21. That Canada is fully alive to the value of waterway transportation and the development of can ttle, as competing and regulating: freight carrying routes, was pointed out very clearly today by A, J. de B. Corriveau He is in New York in the interests of the Lake Champlain and St. Lawrence Ship Canal company, which is now con structing a fourteen-foot water connec Won between the St. Lawrence River at Montreal and the head of Lake Champ Iain and endeavoring to secure the right to exetend another section, from the lower limit of the lake tidewater on the Hud eon. In his opinion, the building of these .two sections and the connection with the already completed St. Lawrence fourteen toot waterway, will render the Improve ment of the Erie Canal unnecessary. At the same time the port of Montreal will Bet the great bulk of the lake traffic: and the Dominion Parliament granted the charter to build the short connecting Channel with the expectation that a great part of the trade with Xew England could fee diverted from the Erie route to pass through Montreal. Whether the project to build the Lake Champlain canal to accomodate the deep Sraught lake steamers in a direct passage from the northwest ports to Xew York be regarded as feasible or not it indicates hat Canada is alive to the need for wa terway development. And it is indicative of Montreal's persistent, intelligent effort to increase her importance as a port. Montreal points to a table of figures that is deemed significant, when read in connection with recent developments. "Our city can get the great bulk of the wheat trade from the northwest, both in Canada and United States." say the far sighted citizens of Montreal. "Why? "The distance to the great markets is so much Bhorter that, if facilities are provided, which we Intend to provide, a shipper can not afford to go to any other point." Ac cording to an ofiicial map issued by the Canadian minister of public works, the dis tances over the Montreal route from the northwest of Liverpool and over the Erie route to Xew York, the most favorable route for the haulage of grain in the United States, compare as follows: A'ia Montreal Via Erie Canal Miles Miles From Duluth 3,941 4.393 From Milwaukee 3,79:) 4,251 From" Chicago 3.S5G 4.30S From Fort AViiliam.... 3,835 4.2S7 Over all of these routes, it will be ob served, there is a saving of actual travel ling distance of 452 miles. And that this advantage is worth considering is proved to the Canadian mind by the fact that the United States steel corporation is building a fleet of ten steamers for exporting their products by way of Montreul. It is hardly coneeiveable that the steel trust would Eelect any but the cheapest route. As to Montreal's designs upon the grain Carrying business, here is her printed boast: "The Montreal Harbor Commissioners have approved the proposals of a syndi cate to erect elevators and warehouses of large capacity at the port of Montreal for the hdndling of grain shipments from the west. A lease of the sites asked for will be given. A penalty clause will be added to the contract, providing that if the syn dicate does not secure the quantity of train stipulated during the first three yearsnamely,-2f,0W,W0 bushels during the llrst season and 35,000,000 during each of the two other seasons, their property shall be forfeited. The syndicate will construct .three large elevators and large warehou ses at. a total expenditure of over $4,000,000. "W. J. Connors, of Buffalo, the head of the syndicate, said of the planr "We in Xend to build up a port here that will give employment to between 2,000 and 3,000 workmen, instead of about 700 in the pre sent. "We shall bring, instead of S00 ves sels to Montreal during the season of na vigation, from 1.G000 to 2.00-3 vessels. "Wo intend to divert a very large part of the traffic that now goes by way of New York end Buffalo to Montreal. Only two-tenths of the traffic of the Canadian west now Comes to Montreal. The rest goes by rail to New York, Boston and other ports. IWe mean to bring the remaining eigth tenths here. "We will lnnd the grain in X.iverpool half a cent a bushel cheaper than anybody else can. "We shall have bur own steamers to bring grain from the lakes of Montreal. There will shortly be a fleet of 2,500 of these vessels plying on the canals and lakes. Our object is to compote with the railroads and we can uitillze the splendid waterways of Canada bo that we can beat the railroads in com petition for the grain traffic. "The widening and deepening of the IWelland canal by the Canadian govern ment has induced the Illinois Transit com pany to establish a direct steamship line for passengers and freight from Chicago to Montreal ami Liverpool. Beginning with three steamers the company propo ses to make a substantial increase in its tonage as business shall require. It is possible that this movement, which is to be followed by others of the same kind, will hax-e the fleet of diverting a large share of ocean shipping from the cities on the Atlantic reaboard. As the Canadian government makes no discrimination in tolls, then is nothing to prevent Ameri can merchants and ship owners from en Joying a Urge share of the ocean transit by way of the Welland canal. From th big grain fields of the north west to tidewater navigation at Montreal there is n.- completed a clear fourteen feet wMtrrw.iv with only about seveaty one wl'.s of canales. Boats of to 3,(v0 to s r.cw pass freely back and fourth. "When the now waterway between Georgia -Bay am tin- fct. Lawrence Is completed which will be within two years at the lutest, is the surveys have all been made ami the .-.lpttal provided by a private syn dicate ur5 the work begun there will be direct Lcstge from the Superior ports, through s ;t St. ai rU-1 Montreal, which will take .-!.!, s ,.f t . nty-one feet draught There wi:; l.v iesi- -ban thirty miles of canal to cam ctd on thts route. Its estimated cost leas than one-fourth of the cost of the improved Erie canaL Canada un scarcely be accused of neglectlni; her canal interests, in view of this great ;. tivlty in building and improv ing whi h is neither directly .irried out by the 50emmt nt or aided with grants and subsidies. Up to June, 1S99, Canada had expended $87,573,000 upon her canal system. On the short but important "Wei land canal alone, which in 27 miles over comes an elevation of 327 feet and which avoids Niagra Falls, some $30,000,000 were spent. The officials of the Dominion govern ment have studied the matter of waterway development carefully and are convinced that trade can be diverted from the rail roads of the United States that now de liver at New York, Baltimore, Philadel phia and Boston. The figures prepared by Mr. George Y. "Wlsner and read in the report before the American Society of Civil Engineers in November, 1900, are cited with aproval. According to these figures the route con templated by the Lake Champlain and St. Lawrence Ship Canal company, in con nection with the projected Georgian Bay cut-off, will be one hundred miles shorter from Sault St. Marie to New York than the route through Lake Erie and across New York state, either by railroad canal. Again, when the Georgian Ba waterway is finished, the distance from the upper lake ports to Liverpool will be 800 miles less than by any route that in eludes New York. Another instructiv fact that the new Georgian Bay cut-off makes the distance from Sault St. Marie to Montreal only twenty-five miles grea ter than to Buffalo. And one transfer of cargo at Montreal puts grain into ships for Liverpool, when two transfers are required after it reaches Buffalo, besides an extra haulage of some hundreds of miles. So Canada is going forward with canal development in the same way that the coutries of Europe are doing. She is mak ing a serious study of her advantages in the matter of transportation and is de termined to use them. She has spent very large amount of money on them In proportion to her total wealth and popu lation. She is detrmined to capture share of the tremendous and fast-increas ing lake trade, which last year sent more than 47,000,000 tons through the "Soo canals. WANTED FRESH AIR Experience and Expressions ofl oyer of Outdoors. After three days and four nights in sleeping-car it is good to breathe air again. Not that I mean to speak ill of the modern necessity known in railway offices as a "sleeper"; it has done me too many ervice; but. for all that well, as said, it is pleasant to breathe the air again. I thought so this January afternoon as sat upon the top rail (a pretty thin board) of a tall fence at the top of what I take to be one of the highest elevations (it would be exceeding the truth, per haps, to call this venerable but young and vigorous Texas city, known in geogra phies and gazeteers as San Antonio, but among railroad men, whose time and breath are precious, as San Anton.' The city itself lay before me, and a most excellent showing it made, with its many stately and handsome buildings and its general air of prosperity; but for the most part I looked beyond it. or in other directions. The landscape was wide, which ever way I turned, and the transparency of the atmosphere, of a kind never seen in New England except on some days in year, made it the wider and more allur ing, it surprised me to see imposing pub lic buildings scattered about over the country. The nearest of them must have been several miles from the town and each of them, so far as I could see, stood entirely by itself. Here and there, also miles apart, were fine dwelling houses, with out-buildings and windmills; each like the public institutions just mentioned standing alone, as if Its proprietor were also the proprietor of the entire tract of country round-about. Rich men's ranches, they would perhaps be called. All these, or most of them, would have been invisible from my fence-rail perch but for the fact, which really made the strange ness of the whole spectacle to a Northern man's eyes, that the rolling land is all un- ooded a broad landscape, stretching away and away, north, south, east and wtest. The slopes look, at a little dis tance just as tne one on wnten l was now sitting had looked to me half a mile back as if they might be planted with oung peach orchards. They are really covered loosely with the shrubs ten or fifteen feet high, now budded and in pale- green leaf with lower shrubs of different species, mostly thorny, senttered loosely among them, the whole constituting (or so I suppose) what is known in this part of the world as chaparral; which is very like what in our own Northern country o speak of, less respectful as "scrub. It is a godsend to a man on my errand that chaparral, as it grows about San Antonio at all events, is not a dense thicket. It can be walked through or rid den through in all directions with perfect ease, though one cannot keep a straight course more than a rod or two together. I had beon walking over just such a hill half an hour before, circling one cluster of shrubs after another, opera-glass in hand, ready for any bird that might show itself ( it was as likely as not to be stranger) when all at once how it came about I shall never be able to tell there. ust before me on the ground twenty or thirty feet away, stood one of the birds that I had most desired to see in this novel Southwestern world a road-runner. have found some puz2les since my ar rival in San Antonio, but this was not one of them. As our good common saying is the fellotv; looked "as natural as life." Mr. Fuertes' drawing had stepped out of the book. I could have shouted with pleasure. The bird was true to Its name. There was no road, to be sure, but he started off at once on a lively trot; then, within ten or fifteen feet, he stopped short, lifted his ridiculously long tail till It stood at Ipht angles with his body the white thumb marks" at the ends of the feath ers making a brave show, in spite of the almost indecent absurdity of his attitude. Two or three times he repeated these ma noeuvers. and then, without my knowing how he did it. he escaped me altogeher, although he bit off shrubbery into which he had vanished was only a few feet in rik.mctor. "Never mind," I thought. "I have seen him." And he was every whit as odd and absurd as my fancy had paint ed him. The road-runner, it should be said, is an overgrown member of- the cookoo family. Its leneth from the tip of its bill to th end of its tail is about two feet. It wears what I may describe as a frightened-looking crest, its plumage is conspicuously mottled, and. what gives it its special character, its tail Is a foot long. A Mrs. Bailey well says, it is "one of the most original and entertaining of Western birds." The newomer is amazed when the long-tailed creature darts out of the brush and races the horses down the road, easily keeping ahead as they trot, and when tired turns into the brush and throws his tail over his back to stop him self. My bird's performance was less theatri cal than that, perhaps because I was on foot, perhaps because of the absence of a thoroughfare, but I was well pleased. It is noticeable how birds, not less than men. tend to become specialists. To ac complish one thing supremely well, that is certainly the way-to make one's self famous. And that it what" the road-runner' does. He has chosen a hobby, and he rides it. His legs are proportionately no longer than those of other birds, but that does not matter. Such as they are, he will make the most of them. He is like a Maine farmer of whom I have heard, a plain tiller of the soil, who feels, nevertheless, that he was made for nobler things; not for a cart-house, but for a race horse. He may be working on his farm, at the plough, we will, say; sud denly the impulse comes upon him, as in spiration is said to come upon a poet; there is nothing for it, but he must start and run, and so he does. Once every sum mer he travels from Maine to Mount Washington for the grea- event of the year. When he arrives at the Summit House, the world is passed around, and j every one knows what Is to happen. So-and-So is going to run. The daily news paper chronicles his arrival and announces the hour of the annual event. When the minute arrives all hands gather upon the platform before the door, a man appoint ed for the purpose holds the watch and gives the signal, and down the steep road" starts the farmer, his invariable "tall hat" on his head, and his coat-tails flying. At the Half Way House, and again at the base, his time is taken. If it is less than last's year's, so much the more glory- If it is more well, he has run; and presumably, like Cincinnatus be fore him, he goes to his plough contented The road-runner, I suspect, is subject to the same irresistible ambulatory impulses and by a curious coincidence he too, wears what we may term a "tall hat." I should like to see him racing down the Mount Washington road, pulling himself up now and then bv a sudden uplifting of his ana tnen dj a suuaen upumng 01 nis lull! tail The temperature here for temperature must always be mentioned in writing of one's travels has thus far been pretty comfortable for a walker, though not without something of a contradictoriness which seems to belong to weather condi tions everywhere and always; roses in all the gardens, and steam in the radiators; children, black and white, padding about in mud barefooted overcoats on and not unlikely collars turned up. Concerning siifh thinir5 hprp in "San Antone. VOU take your choice. For myself I have com promised the matter, keeping my boots on and wearing, except when the sun has been warmest, a very light spring over coat. ' The great drawback to a walking man's comfort ,and just now the most impres sive "feature" of the city, more impres sive by far than the old Spanish mis sions, the most famous of which, the Ala mo, is right at my door, has been the mud; deep and black and more adhesive than glue. If you go outside the city your shoes gather it as a roling snowball gathers snow, and it Is like one of the labors of Hercules to get it off. I walk about, scuffling and kicking, with pounds of it on either overshoe, like a dark fringe and I fancy I know how it feels to drag ball and chain. However, conditions, are better in tms respect, and in any case things might be easily worse. Yesterday morning, seeing the sky clouded, I marked to the elevator boy as I went down to breakfast that I believed it was going to rain; and I add, sententiously, 'More rain, more mud." "Yes," said the boy, quick to resent an imputation upon the climate of Texas, "and the more rain. tho better crops." The state, it appears, has suffered greatly from drought for the past few seasons, and no doubt Its people can afford to play the mud-lark for a while in the winter. It makes a differ ence whether you are a selfish, pleasure seeking tourist, thinking only of today's comfort, or a man with his living to make out of a cotton plantation or a market garden. For the present, if the tourist wishes, as I do, to walk in the country, he does well to betake himself to one of the numerous railroad tracks. These have carried me into places and shown me many Inter esting birds; but they would be more con venient If they were not walled in, mile after mile, except as a highway or a plan tation road crosses them, by an extreme ly high and close barbed-wire fence. Yet even this ugly obstruction has served mo one slight good turn. A man of something like my own age and build was trudging along the track in front of me, a day or two ago, and when I saw him approach the fence as if he meant in some wiay to force a passage. "You'll never do it," I thought. Really, there seemed not to be space enough between the wires, even if they had not been barbed, for a human body to squeeze through; but to my as tonishment the man slipped between them without the slightest fumbling or hesita tion. and without so much as a barb's touching him. He must have been specialist, I am sure. I could not have followed him without tearing my clothing to tatters if all the wealth of the Indes had been spread before me on the other side. I have not yet ceased wondering at tho man's address. Such practice he must have had! I hope he was never In jail. It was like the neatest Japanese jugglery, or the famous passage of a rich man through the eye of a needle. As I have often said, I love to see a man do anything, though it be only to shovel dirt. If he can do it better than anybody else. The greater part of the passengers that one meets in such out-of-the-way plnces are short, swarthy Mexicans. Usually they are able to bid you "good morning," or to ask you how you "do," but now and then you will hear a 'buenos dias." In the city one finds them at every corner selling peculiar-looking confections. Whether one likes their wares or not and, for one, I confess that I have not made up my mouth to try the experiment their pres ence gives one an agreeable sence of being far from home. Two days ago I was andering from San Pedro Park nt noon. and noticed for the first time a few but terflies on the wing.
