liver since the close of navigation
last December the Fnited States gov

here has been tabulating and arrang

Just been Issued, ami the flguies it pre

That transposition has reached a
point whcie 1 cent will haul a ton of
goods twplve tulles 01 moif Is a fact
that may well seem beyond belief for
the man who hasn't found It to be a
fact bv exneiience. Then, too, it Is
sutpilsln that an Int lease of $.1S,fi60.
floo could be made lu Hip value of com
merce passing- Into and out of Lake
Supetlor In a single senson, or that
the pi ev ions low fi eight lates fould
be still fill tlier 1 educed by .16 of a mill
per ton per mile. It will be an eye
opener for the salt-water mariner to
know Unit the vessels engaged In tho
Lnlp Suppiloi trade alone were of a
value last year of ftt.RTT.lOO. and It will
sui prise h'nv also to know that eight
ships were lu the Hade that eatried
eamoes 11 vol aging tl.100 tons on a
draught of M-ventcin feet, and that be
sides these eight tliere weie twenty
eight ships that avenged loads of
about .1,550 tons each. A year ago theie
was not one ti,Ci00-ton ship on Hie lakes
and only half n dozen ot the .1,000-ton
class. A year fiom now the tepoit w ill
show the bigger class doubled In num
ber and the foi motion of a 7,000-ton
lit pi, with two or Hupp ippiesenlatlves
as a stai tei.
Tlie tommeice that passed Into and
out of Lake Supeilor last year w
valued at ?J1S "J !t;,ooo, an Increase i
about 2.1 per tent ovei the year In
line. Tlie tons of Height eanied In
creased 11 per cent, to a total of $li,
nsi.oori tons, or alnmst 100.000 tons for
every day the canal was open. The
vast prepondeiance of Ameiican ves

tact that only 2.:; per tent of the ton

a smaller pi open Hon than has ever ex

the Canadians, with a canal equal to
the Ameiican. and with a lake-water
system that has 1 11M them nearly '1().
Ouo.000, aie yet tleei easing their ton
nage year by year, and have now
reached Hie pioporron of only about
one-thlrty-elghth of the whole.
