Canal Project Would Link Wheeling to Lakes Via Canal Route
Col. Gustav A. Karwlese, a civil engineer of high standing, arrived to promote a Wheeling Cleveland canal plan. The scheme would run from Wheeling to Ironton then along the C L W road to Bridgeport, using electricity as motive power. It promises cheaper, faster freight to the lakes, leverages a natural route from Cleveland and Parma, and seeks a preliminary survey of fifty to sixty miles to Ohio River access, with Karwlese meeting business leaders to advance funding and support.

Canal and boat railway proposal to traverse Ohio Valley
Col Karwhese outlines a plan to leave the Ohio canal near Ironton using a branch canal and a boat railway inspired by Capt. Eads. The line would reach Tippecanoe then resume at the C L & W railroad, via a tunnel to Stillwater and Bridgeport, with electricity propelled boats and coal and ore shipments benefiting the region. About $8,000 is sought for survey and initial funding, with a business meeting planned next week.
