Mr. Tod and his family will tour' Europe making a trip to the Scandinavian peninsular and Greenland, and do not expect to return to this country until about Sept. 10. Mr. Tod spent the latter part of last week in Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, making an inspection of his pet project the Indiana Harbor-East Chicago canal, and incidentally looking over the territory hereabouts, generally. Talks On Canal.
In speaking of the developments !n and around the Twin Cities which have recently attracted country-wide attention, Mr. Tod reverted again and to the
canal, of which he is the acknowledg
ed father. It was with pardonable ' pride that he called attention to feat
ures of Its improvement and develop- :
ment which made the greatest lmpres? sion on him during his visit just con- ' eluded. One of these was a sounding he took in the turning basin of the ' west branch, opposite the Schleslnger j property in what was Lake George, and the other was the sight of an immense, steamer tied up at the Standard Oil (
aocKS just west oi ine iorKs, wnere ii was taking on a cargo of that company's product. These things started a train of reminscence in the mind of the president of the East Chicago company, and on being pressed for facts he related some most interesting early history concerning the canal and its inception.
