GIANT WATERWAY
SHIPS CONQUER NIAGARA WITH NEW CANAL VESSELS LOWERED 326 FEET Vancouver, Monday. On the Niagara Peninsula today Canada’s new Welland Canal was opened for shipping. The construction of the waterway has occupied 20 years, and it has cost £23,000,000. It is a giant stairway for ships to overcome the Niagara Falls barrier. A grain vessel carrying 500,000 bushels can pass through the canal and, in seven tremendous steps, be lowered from the level of Lakes Superior and Huron 326 feet, to Lake Ontario.
