Where canal gate collapsed. At least ninemen were killed, twelve are in hospital badly crushed and several others were more or less seriously injured at Lock No. 6 of the new Welland canal to-day, when a 500-ton gate collapsed as it was being placed in position by derricks. At the TOP is shown Locks No. 5 and 6 with Lock No. 7 in the background. The depth of the canal at this point is 130.8 feet, almost the same depth as the Horseshoe Falls. At the Bottom is a map showing where the accident occurred. The diagram in the Centre shows how the canal will lift shipping from the low level of Lake Ontario to the higher level of lake Onatario to the higher level of Lake Erie.

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.
