,.RMIT IS 1GRANTID FOR SANTEE CANAL (Qontinued from page 2) least eighty-nine feet high, its length Will be just about half that of other power dams constructed on the Broad and Saluda rivers. Ihis dam would be less than fifteen Mileyfrom Columbia and would be an e.8ss to Columbia in the way of i'd 'd tional power whenever needed, but Ie promoters claim they have already market for all the power that -th ailway will not require. A power is without value unless a market can be found. All of that has been given lue consideration. Equipment for Navigation Modern, shallow light draft barges, w1hich will be loaded directly from the railroad in Columbia, then the barges will be towed by light draft tugs to he mouth of the Santee canal where deep draft tugs will convey the barges to ship side in Charleston. For thp Congaree river service a special type'.f tow boat has been de signed. There will be no extra deck space .and no weight except for the cranes that handle the freight. The canal will have a minimum width at surface of 200 feet and the river is wide enough for the up-going and own-going barges to pass without difculty. A daily schedule will b,, maintained.

An artery of commerce is projected through the center of the state and its successful inauguration would mean that there would be feeders from every county in the state. Lower Rates Assured Columbia would enjoy a reduction of 33 per cent on all commodity and class rates; Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson and Greenwood would enjoy a reduction of approximately 27% per cent, an( in these days of high freight trafile a reduction of that kind means a strong appeal to shippers. The fed pral government ma(le inquiry into the commercial potentiality of this project as well as its navigable feasibility. There is nothing new or impractica ble in this idea of a navigation canal. In 1781 a survey of St. Stephen's Par ish was made by Henry Mouzon, andi in 1786 it was determined to cut the Santee canal, and a charter WIs ob tained. This was startel in 1793 and concluded in 1800 by Col. Charles Snef the engineer who built the wonderful chain of locks on the Catawba river, permitting navigation around the rap ids at Great Falls.

The el)orts oft the govern men t en j.iniiet'rs miiade within the last few Iiontiths show that the Santee canial had elijghit lcks and two <louble locks of, Scotch masonry. There was no, di version dam, turning the waters of the Santee into the canal. The boats vere, in fact, lifted up to a point. thirty-four feet, high'r than the San tee river aminl s ixty-se''en feet h igher' than the Cooper. The handling of the boats depended airgely upon tihe rain fall to till the basini or reservoir' at. the top of tle ridge. The report of the I' iii ted States eng i neer says that the ol Santee canal was used from 1800 to 18511, when it fell into disuse because railroads could he built and operated so chieapy then. Aecording to this s-. .report, the year 1830 showed t 750 boats passed throigh the Sauntee canial carryivg 1,0M) bales of cotton, 17.500 tons.
