Thirty years hence the population of the region of country immediately dependent on Chicago as a com- mercial mart, will probably be greater than that which now sustain? the city of New York, and being witliout a rival in its immediate vicinity, and nearly central to the entire population betwcQn the Atlantic and Rocky Mountains, it is diflBcult to fix a limit to what will ultimately be either its actual or relative magnitude. The present harbor accommodations* of Chicago are included in the tw...o branches of the Chicago river. One navigable four^ and 101 the other three miles from their jtinction, ^hich is half a mile from the Lake. In view of its future growth, an outside harbcM* will, in time, be required, arid when formed, slwuld be on a liberal scale and controlled by the city, for the best good of the various interests concerned. The character of the navigation of the great Lakes and the ar- tificial channels connected with them, is now so well known as scarcely to require any notice in this place.
