THE LOGICAL CANAL ROUTE. In a recent Issue ot a Philadelphia

ir a map of Cape May Coun'y eras printed showing the “Route of Proposed Canal Across Cape Mar County/' which arms the title of the explanatory notea accompanying the Illustration We do not know from what aource tils map emanated, but it is far tram showing the route moat desirable, one which will aerre the greatest number of people In the quickest, beat and •aalest way. The canal, as shown in the map. enters from the Delaware Bay through Dennis Creek, and from the mouth of this creek at DennisriUe. the canal skirts the County on the Cumberland County line, entering the Tuckabot riser at Tuckaboe. and ibenre continuing by way of Great Egg Harbor Bay to the Atlantic Ocean.

This route extends across the County to Cape May Court House, thence across to Stone Harbor to coo sect with the Inland Waterway.

Another entirely practical and eco Domical route would be by way of Dennis Creek across to Ijudlam's Bay sod thence to Corson's Inlet The cross-county canal, while not of the immediate future, must come soon rr or later, and It is hardly likely that when It does, any route as luarreulblr and roundabout as the one outlined aa the “Proposed Route" will U adopt-
