Large Craft.

Seven or eight years ago vessel meas
uring 600 tons was considered a large
craft, on the lakes, but now vessel
measuring several times that tonnage is
not unusual. From .list in the Inter
Ocean of large crafts, aflOat on the lakes,
we gather the following, showing the
rapid increase of large vessels within
the past few years. There are 80 vessels
measuring from 800 tons up to 900;
thirteen from 900 to 1000; twelve from
1000 to 100; seven from HOO to 1900; ten
from 1900 to 1900; three from 1900 to
400; four from 400 to 1900; four from
1900 to 1900; two from 1900 to 100; six
from 100 to 1900; one of 1847, one of
1921, and two of over 1000 tons.
There are now on the stocks at differ
ent lake ports forty Uessels, all of which
will measure 1000 tons, and several of
which will measure taUO thousand fire
hundred tons and t,CO thousand eight
hundred tons. Twelve of the craft al
ready in commission are valued at from
$105,OOO to $125OO0. From this an idea
can be formed of the immense amount
of capital invested in the thousands of
crafts that are upon these inland seas,
and the Importance there is in having
suitable harbOrs of refuge provided for
their safety, and of having navigation
improved to accommodate the passage of
these huge vessels from port to port.

The SauIt Canal Transfer.

We learn from Lansing that Mr.. Chan
dler collector of the Sault canal has re-
turned from Washington, where he has
been spending several weeks, having ac-
cOmplished his mission, in securing an
amendment to the River and Harbor
bill, making permanent and continuous
appropriations for the operating eXpen-
ses and repairs of the canal. This re-
moves the only obstacle to the transfer
of the canal by the state to the general
government and it would seem probable
that the official transfer will soon be
made, and that the management of the
canal will in future devOlve upon the
United States and be entirely free of
tolls.
This congressional action places the
Louisville canal and the Des MOines
canal, both operated by the government
upon the same basis, which is the only
manner under which the government,
could successfully operate them.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Feb. 18th
speaks in very complimentary terms of
the services of j. I. Whiting, of Detroit,
and Mr.. Chandler and gives them the
credit of having secured favorable ac-
tiOn in the House after the Committee
of Commerce had reported against the
amendment.

The Almost Remarkable Connection
of Senator COnger with the SauIt
Canal from the Beginning to the
End.
WOndrOus changes are wrought by the
hands of time. This is eXemplified by a
few incidents i'm the life of Senator
COnger, of this state, which have lately
come to our knowledge, and which we
do not remember of ever having seen in
print. In 1845, Conger, then a young
man just starting in life, engaged as
an assistant to DR.. HOughtOn, the cele-
brated surveyor. In this capacity he
early in the spring of that year found
himself delayed at Sault Ste. Marie for
want of facilities to go further. 1t was
about this time that the state authOri-
ties was agitating the project of con-
structing canal around the rapids. At
the request of the state authorities young
COnger made survey of the proposed
canal and an examination Of the mate
rial to be excavated. Areport was made
to the state which was used as basis
for legislation. A few years later when
the canal project was before the state
legislature for consideration, and ways
and means being devised for its con-
structiOn, Mr.. COnger was member OF
that body and one of the most earnest
and active supporters of the measure
which afterwards resulted in the con-
structiOn of the canal. The uneXempli-
fed prosperity and development of the
country during the next ten or twelve
years rendered the enlargement of the
canal not only desirable but necessary.
This time found Mr.. COnger in the
national congress, and in 1870 he intro
duced the first resolution looking towards
such improvement and since that time
he has been foremost i'm the efforts to
secure such appropriations as would
hasten the completion of the work.
Eleven years later finds Mr.. COnger
just closing his long and honorable
career in the lower house of congress,
and among the most important of his
closing acts before moving to the higher
sphere of usefulness which the partiality
of his state has placed him, was in refer
ence to the st. Mary's canal. On the
18th of February Mr.. COnger introduced
and secured the passage Of an amend
ment to the river and harbOr bill which
virtually makes the canal forever free
to the commerce of the country, and
places its operation and repairs beyond
contingency. There have been others
who have taken much interest in this
great enterprise, but to Mr.. Conger be-
longs the honor of being its staunch
friend from the beginning to the end,
and whose labOrs in its behalf has eX-
tended over period of more than thirty
five years. and who during all that time
always seemed to be i'm a position where
he could accomplish most for the enter
prise.

The Cedar Mark ct.

Last week, proposals for furnishing
cedar for paving blocks, in the City of
Detroit were opened and the lowest bid
was 5000 per cord. This is 20 cents low
er than the city paid last year when the
News says there was loud complaint and
accusations of jobbery, cOrne in blocks
and other croOkedness. The city cOun-
Gil passed a resolution accepting the bid
of $500 per cord but it was vetoed by
Mayor Thompson. Whether or not that
city will be able to purchase at less
price remains to be seen, but we doubt
it. Notwithstanding the winter has
been favorable for getting out CEDAR
and, we have no doubt, that the amount
got out will far exceed that cut for
several years past, the indications are
that the demand will also be greatly in
excess of former years and that prices
will rule higher than they have done for
several years, and that those who have
entered largely into the cedar trade may
safely count On ready sale and reason
ably satifactory profits.

In the customs district of Michigan,
Mr.. HI. c. Akeley collector, the total
amount collected for the year ending
January 30, 1880, was $2.70. 1t required
the services of nineteen custOm-hOuse
officers to collect this $270. Their sal
aries amounted to $9,076.29. This, how
ever, does not cover all the expense of
Ic0llecting. The people furnished Offices,
light, fuel and stationery for these nine
teen officers. We also kept a revenue
cutter on Lake Michigan to assist i'm
collecting this $2.70, which would swell
the total expense to not less than twenty
five thousand dollars. Taxpayers of
Michigan, how do you like it? Do you
think you can afford to pay $3,361.59 in
salaries for every dollar collected DE
trOit Euening NeaCs. al
However much we may appreciate the
News as newspaper, we certainly have
little respect for its ''bush-whacking"
procliyities in politics. We do not know
where it got the figures upon which the
above is based, but more gross mis-
statement could not have been made by
the most prejudiced Democratic sheet,
and indicates but little investigation
upon the part of the editor after facts.
In fact the whole thing is so utterly un-
true that we cannot help but think that
facts were the last thing the editor want
ed, as they would not have answered his
purpose so well. To show how unrelia-
BILE the statement is we would say that
the collections for this port alone for the
time specified amounted to $723.8l and
this is only one of the many ports in the
district. We do not know how it may be
as to the other offices in the district, but
neither the people or the government
paid one cent for fuel, light or office rent
at this port. For the period mentioned
the collections at this port were less
than an y other year for five or six years
past. We find, byI reference to the col
umns of the TRIBUNE, that for the fiscal
year ending June 30th, 1877 the total
amount collected was $1,413.15. For the
year ending June 30th. 1878 the amount
was $2,413.15. For the year ending June
30th, 1880 the amount was 81 1,60S.4e. For
the first half of the present fiscal year
they have been more than for any pre-
yiOus wear

Cheek.

''Mr Chairman, / do not arise to reply to the
remarks OF the gentleman from Michigan (Nlr.
Horn. They do not merit the slightest notice.
| Ii is the most unsatisfactory thing in the world
| to strike at nothing" The above is Gen. Wea-
yer's reply to our congressman i'm the House of
Representatives, Jan. 19, and is a fair sample
| OF the way the cheeky fraud is snubbed on all
sides. -lChebOygan Democrat
On the very day of the date Of the
grumbling, cheeky" sour, sullen, self
c0nceited Democrat in which the above
appeared, Mr.. HOrr was making a speech
in the House upon the appOrtiOnment
bill which seemed to attract more atten-
tion than almost anything else that was
said that day and which numbers were
exceedingly anxious to try to answer, a
speech as far exceeding i'm ability any
thing OF. which this poor little Democrat
IS probably capable, as Horr exceeds in
avoirdupois- swell, say a puppy; speech
which we recommend our cOtempOrary
to read and consider. He speaks i'm an
other place of HOrr as not having sin-
tellect enough to hold a new speech
once in two years. Now the joke of it
is just this, as they know, "up the Shore"
and in Maine, and i'm Congress, and all
along the line, that Horr8n0n't hold his
| speeches until after the time for using
them to advantage has passed. but shoots
them right off when and where and in
just the way they will do the most good,
and that is just what ails the Democrat.
| 1t is so bothered because HOrr don't hold
his speeches two years instead of doing

whereupon the rascal denounced the
lodger as silly old granny for looking
under the bed! Don't hide in such places:
