...world responded. In 1933, 161 deep-sea ships cleared Albany. Last year 255 ships dropped down the river to the sea, 625 barges plied up & down the deepened and renovated canal.

Ambitious Albany is pointing toward another marine transport objective. Meeting, there last week was an International Joint Commission of six appointed by Canada and the U.

This passage, first projected in 1902, would follow the Hudson as far as the Champlain Canal, thence through Lake Champlain to the Richelieu River, which would be dredged to the St. Lawrence. Behind this scheme, which would cost some $150,000,000 last week were ranged Albany civic societies and such groups...

Except for the pontifical autobiography that the late John Hays Hammond wrote at the age of 80, U. S. mining engineers have been surprisingly reticent about their world-wide rovings, their climbs up high mountains and descents into the deep earth. Last week a successful mining engineer now little more than half Hammond's age offered a volume of reminiscence as informal as Hammond's was ponderous, less than half as long and twice as funny, and dealing with events that were as inconsequential as those that Hammond recorded were important. Saying he "would not be so brash...
