Thirty - four grains boats held up in Welland Canal by Low Water. Above are seen views of some of the thirty-four grain boats which were held up in the Welland canal last week as a result of the unusually low water levels which have recently been brought about by the Chicago steal and other causes. Al though the vessels are loading more lightly than in previous years one or other of them nevertheless strikes bottom in the canal every so often, with the result that all traffic is tied up until they can be refloated. Thousands of dollars are thus being lost as a result of delays and curtailed cargoes in the case of the factories when water normally used for generating electrical power has to be diverted to raise the canal levels.

Welland Canal

Picture, Date Unknown

Slow going: A tug boat (above) nips into ice behind a lock gate to dislodge chunks at the Welland Canal. The frigid weather has been slowing down the ships recently, like lake freighter Canadian Prospector (right). Normally. the St. Lawrence Seaway is closed by now, but long shutdowns of the system earlier this season have forced the authorities to keep it open. Tug boats were brought into action to keep the system from clogging up and to let the last of the ships reach their winter berths or faraway shores.

Avalanche of clay overwhelms workers on Welland Canal. Two workmen were killed and six others injured when the bank of an excavation on section 4 of the Welland canal near Thorold caved in on Saturday.

Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are, respectively, Aldio Gallaza, Rocco Geralamo and Mike Raccici, who were injured. No.7 is Carl Helzig, who narrowly escaped death or injury.

Prince may assist at ceremony. The new Welland canal is now 95 per cent completed, and it is expected that August, 1930, will witness the first large freighter navigating the famous twin-flight locks from Lake Erie to lake Ontario. The photographs here show: (1) 82-foot gates on western No. 5 twin-flight locks. [Incomplete]

Ahead of schedule: Engineers are installing 12 braces to shore up a wall in Lock 7 in the Welland Canal so they can drain it to inspect the damage caused by a cave-in Oct. 14. The repair job is almost three days ahead of schedule, but officials remained unsure yesterday when shipping can resume through the canal, which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, bypassing Niagara Falls.

Heavy slide as canal bank caves. For 500 feet along the Welland Ship canal earth slid into the manmade ditch yesterday as shown in this photograph. About 34,000 cubic yards of earth fell in the first disturbance since 1935. Shipping was not impeded by the slide. The minor avalanche was attributed by the engineering staff to natural erosion. Dredges will clear the debris shortly. Grading of the banks at tremendous cost would be the only means of eliminating them, the engineers stated. A slide occurred several years ago near the scene of yesterday's slip.
