Excerpt from The Romance of Engineering: Stories of the Highway, the Waterway, the Railway, and the Subway It was inevitable that the writer of this volume, while passing over some old ground, in his search for the Sources of Information, should have occasionally struck into the channels formed by his predecessors, while projecting a line of his own. But the Author can conscientiously declare that he has at all times penetrated to the fountain-head for his facts, and has not tapped the reservoirs of others on his way. In any instances in which the opinions or views of writers are quoted, due acknowledgment is made in the text or by notes. This volume, as its title indicates, is a Romance of Engineering; a consideration of the non-technical and anecdotal aspect of road-making, railway-making, and other early Engineering Works. It is not intended, primarily, for students, but for the large classes of youthful and middle-aged readers who desire to know something of the means in the past which have tended to secure the civilization of the present.

Excerpt from American Inland Waterways: Their Relation to Railway Transportation and to the National Welfare; Their Creation, Restoration and Maintenance; With 80 Illustrations and a Map The disappearance of commerce from our water ways seemed like a striking instance of the death of the unfit in the struggle for commercial existence. The experience of other nations shows that this is not so. Fitness to live for human service is quite another matter from fitness to survive in the contests of the jungle. We fit the earth for use by determining what organisms shall survive. We must so bend the ener gies of the agencies of land transportation as to allow the waterway to live as a tool of trade, to the benefit of the whole nation, including the railways. Having found the way by which the railways may be prevented from killing water-borne traffic, we must make our waterways fit for their work. Traffic will follow even the shallow river or canal, if protected from uneconomic competition, but it is wasteful to compel trade to follow the water unless those facilities are provided which are necessary to make water traffic economical. A first requisite of cheap water transport is depth of water. The great trunk lines of traffic, like the Great Lakes, the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Missouri, the Columbia, and the Tennessee must be given depths in proportion to their functions. The Mississippi must be made a loop of the sea, and given connection with Lake Michigan as our part of the continental back water of which Canada will build her part, and thus gain the whip-hand over us if we do not build ours. But most of our waterways must in the nature of the case be rather shallow, and our problems with them are to be found in matters of terminals and the types of vessels.

Excerpt from Inland Waterways, Their Relation to Transportation The carriers of freight hold the keys of trade. During the year 1890 - 91, over thirty iron smelting furnaces of eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania were shut down several months, because the railroads could not give them a reduction of twenty-five cents a ton in the freight rates for coke fuel.* As slight a reduction as a mill a ton mile by the railroads in their charges would save to trade nearly a hundred million dollars a year.

Excerpt from Transit Over Roadways, Waterways and Railways, in Its Relation to the Commercial Development of the Country: With a Special Reference to the County of Glamorgan During the last few years, considerable time has been spent in discussing the Fiscal Policy of our Country, but it will, no doubt, be accepted by both Free Traders and Tariff Reformers, that what we shall have chiefly to rely upon in the future in order to maintain our position in the markets of the world, will be the adoption of the most improved methods for the production of the various articles of commerce, together with an efficient transit service.

Excerpt from Artificial Waterways of the World The first improvement upon the slow, tedious and costly means of transportation by beasts of burden and vehicles was accomplished by utilizing rivers, supplemented by canals, as a thoroughfare for boats and barges. These waterways determined the routes of commerce until the locomotive engine made land routes the more popular, as they were the more expeditious. Reaching in all directions, spanning waterways, tunneling mountains, and defying obstacles generally, they naturally took command of trade.
