Marie, Mich. The big concrete project, named for Gen. Douglas MacArthur, is designed to speed movement of war-essential iron ore down the Great Lakes. It was built at a cost of approximately $14,000,000 in 13 months. The lock is 800 feet long by 80 feet wide and 30 feet deep. At present 25 feet is the greatest depth needed for any ship operating on the Great Lakes. I This deep-draft lock will play a tremendous role in promoting greater production—permitting passage of a greater number of vessels and permitting the loading of vessels to e greater depth, directly increasing the tonnage of ore that can be moved by the present ore fleet. This, in turn, means greater production of iron and steel, so highly essential in the war effort. The new lock was gouged out of the site of the old Weitzel Lock, constructed in 1881, as the first Federally built lock at the Sault. The canal itself came into being in 1855 with a tiny, tandem-operated lock. Three modern locks have been built in addition to this newest one in the last half century. TRENTON DOCKS INUNDATED Although streams and creeks over most of the north country have receded in the past month, the Trent River in Trenton still seems to maintain an abnormal level. Part of the boat dock is still inundated and the coal dock on the east side of the river is covered by water 12 to 30 inches in depth. Coal carriers are having considerable difficulty in docking. ^^^^^^^^^^_6 out at one of the branch depots of Toronto Shipbuilding Co. H.M.S. Melita and H.M.S.
