Economic case for river and lake improvements on freight costs
The article argues that canal and river improvements could yield immense freight savings, notably on grain shipments, with direct annual farmers’ gains of about 100 million dollars and broader benefits across goods. It compares transport costs by horse and wagon, rail, and water, citing Soo canal freight of 58,217,214 tons in 1907 at 5. per ton mile, versus rail costs, and estimates river improvement could reduce costs by roughly 50 to 60 percent, suggesting strong payback and potential to cut national debt.
