Canal certainty urged by Jim Hill in rail-side note
James J. Hill president of the Great Northern Railway argues in a written statement that a Georgian Bay canal from Georgian Bay to the Ottawa system would shorten grain routes to the seaboard. He estimates 32 miles of 20 foot depth and 22 miles of shallower water with dredging in the Ottawa river, potentially saving two cents a bushel for shipments from Chicago or Duluth to deep water at Montreal. Refrigerator ships mentioned.
