CANADIAN CLUB HOLDS FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR .
WHEN ALL THE OLD OFFICERS WERE RE-ELECTED
• The Men's and Wemen's Canadiaa
Club of Wingham held the first meets
ing of its fourth season on Friday ev-
ening, I\Tovern,ber 70; in the council
chamber.
The business of the postponed an-
nual• meeting, was first dealt with,
The report of the past season's ac-
tivities wa.s read by the recording se-
cretary. Then followed the reading
of the treasurer's report, which, on
motion of Mr, Posliff and Mrs. C, P.
Smith, was adopted. It was moved
by Mr. Cosens and seconded by Mr.
R, H. Lloyd that the executive be re-
elected for the ensuing year :This
motion was carried. The president;
Dr. Redmond, outlined for the bene-
fit of the tnembers and prospective
members of the Club the. programme
of meetings arranged to be held be-
fore Christmas.
After the transaction of these items
<if business, the meeting opened with
singing of "0 Canada". Miss Garniss
favoured the audietioe with a charm-
ing set°, following which Dr. Red-
mond introduced the guest of the ev-
ening, Mr. B. K. Sandwell, who is
well and widely known as a writer,
economist, and speaker. The subject
of Mr. Sandwell's very informing ad-
dress was "ThiSt. Lawrence Great
•Lakes Waterways Project", and it was
illustrated by means of slides depict-
ing various pictures, maps and graphs
of the situation, and,of the proposed
changes. These were prepared for
the purpose, with the aid of govern-
ment authorities, by the Association
of Canadian Clubs at Ottawa.
It is a great advantage to any coun-
try to have means of transportation
from its interior to its seaports. On
a map of the world, the speaker poin-
ted out Asia and Austtalia with their
scarcity of navigable riverseand spoke
.of their economic difficulties due par-
tly, no doubt, to the lack of cheap
means of bringing their peeteleetefs
"limp the interior. Looking at a map
-of North America, for a moment Mr.
Sandwell dwelt._ upon the advantage

Retiring School Trustees
The members of the Public School
Board who retire this year are F. 5.
Jas. S. Isard, W. F. Burginan,
and 5, M. Graham. Owing to the re-
moval from town of T. Y. Smith
there will need be an additional one
appointed over the customary four.
Ito trade and comuleree brought about
lby the building of the Panama Canal,
which facilitated shipping from Pac-
ific ports,
North America has a problem in
the need of cheaper ways of bringing
Ker products from the interior. In
the chain of Great Lakes and the St,
Lawrence River lies a possible solu-
tion of this problem. However, be-
fore this plan can become practical,
certain changes will have to be made.
Some new canals must • be built and
others dredged and deepened in order
to make it possible for large, ocean-
going vessels to come to the head of
the lakes with raw material, or to
carry -grain from the interior to the
various markets of the world. Unit-
ed States, as well as Canada, will be
concerned with this waterways pro-
ject, for she also will benefit by it.
It is interesting to kaow that there
are two alteinative systems of navi-
gation through purely American ter-
ritory. There is the project of con-
necting Lake Michig-an with the Mis-
sippi River, a plan net altogether fea-
sible because of the peculiarities of
that river. Another and a more satis-
factoiat solution of the problem would
be the construction of a canal from
the eastern end of Lake Ontario, at
Oswego, to New York This -Water-
way would have the advantage over
the proposed St. Lawrence Waterway
in that it would be open to naviga-
tion the year round.
One of the chief objections to the
carrying out of the project under dis-
cussion was the inadvisability of al-
lowing United States to build nation-
al works on Canadian territory. This,
in the speaker's opinion, did not seem
a valid objection, and, as the benefit
to American Commerce would cer-
tainly exceed that to Canadian com-
merce, there should be no reason why
United States should not be allowed
to contribute tO the cost of building
the waterway. An estimate of the to-
tal cost, including the development of
horsepower or eiestricity, is quoted,
in round numbers, as about eight hun-
dred millions to • one billion dollars.
The cost of the navigation projeCt
alone, ex-chisive of the development
of waterpower, is much lower, and to-
tals about three hundred and fifty-five
and a half millions. This stun pro-
vides for the deepening of the upper
lake channels, a new lock at the SOO,
compensation works in connection
with the diversion of water, the deep-
ening of the Welland Canal, and five
different groups of improvements on
the St. Lawrence River. It has been
estimated that Canada's contribution
to the joint expenditure should be
one-third of the total, or about one
hundred and eighteen million dollars.
As she has already • spent one hun-
dred and twelve million dollars, six
or seven millions will complete her
contribution.
1-lowever, before the project be -
/comes a reality, Canada andthe
Unit-
ed States must come •to an under -
'standing. For instance, by the Wash-
ington Treaty. of 1871, United States
received certain rights of navigation
lin Canadian waters. Owing to the
/ wording of the treaty, these rights
are at present rather illusory and in-
definite. A definite agreement must
be reached in this rnatter. Also, there
should he a recognition of the fact,
[Canada is to be consulted as to the
'diversion of water from Lake Michi-
gan. • These, and many other prob-
Ildins await settlement before the two
countries can proceed with the St.
Lawrence Waterway. In order that
the negotiators may be backed up by
an intelligent, well-informed Canadian
public, Mr. Sandwell and other speak-
ers of note have been sent out to pre-
sent and discuss the scheme before
Canadian audiences from I-Ialifax. to
Vancouver.
Mr. Posliff moved i Very' hearty -
vote of thanks to GaraisS and
Mr. Sandwell, after which: the meet-
ing was closed with the singing of
"God Sayeethe.K.ing." ,
