that the total number of passengers
carried during any one of the summer
months over the several roads was
something over 100000. The num-
Der of passengers carried between
the cities and the Interurbar
stations was a little over one-fourth
the number who Travelled directly be-
tween the two cities and numbered
about 10000 per month, making a
grand total of 1000 passengers carried
by the short line train during any one
of the summer months. 1t was shown
that the travel between the
cities during the winter was not
quite so heavy as during the summer,
but in spite of this loss the number car
ried during the year was consd rable
over 100000. 1t is estimated that a
dOuble-tracked elevated road running
between the two cities would
cost, fully equipped. s2,OOO.OOO, and
as it would be above all
the streets and roads it could be run at
full speed from the time it started from
the depot in the center of one city until
it reached the one in the other, thereby
reducing the time between The two
cities considerably. Such a road would
get nearly all the travel ana with the
fare reduced even to % cents for the
round trip, it would be one of the best
paying roads in the country.

DON'T LIKE II.

The Cleveland Leader is considerably
worked up over the scheme. made pub
lie in this community a short time ago,
for establishing a route for iron ore
shipments from the Lake Superior re-
giOn to Pittsburg, by rail to the Missis-
Sippi river at this point, and thence by
river to the heart of the Western Penn
sylvania iron region. The Leader. nat
urally enough, fleets to look upon it as
ehimcrical scheme. The lake towns
were not expected to view it with IA
YOrable eye; therefore the Cleveland pa
per's opposition is just what the pro-
jectorS of the scheme looked fer. The
arguments employed by the Leader to
show the futility of the scheme are
the increase in distance by the river
route and the uncertain stages of water.
For the information of our Cleveland
contemporary it may be as well to say
that these difficulties have all been CON
sidered by the projectors of the scheme,
and they were not found insuperable.
In water transportation for heavy
freight distance cuts very little figure.
As TO the stages Of water in the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. there are always
seasons of each year when the volume
is enough for transporting all the iron
ore that will be mined in the Lake Su-
perior region. The Leader strains a
point when it says that the Pittsburg
coal shippers have found from expert
ence that about the only time when
much coarse freight can be sent down
the Ohio is during a freshet or flood. If
that were true, it would add to the diff
Guilty of ore transportation up the river,
because during heavy food the up
ward trip can only be made at slow
pace and with costly consumption OF
steam power. The Ohio river is tickle
stream, it is true, but for all it is an eX-
ceptional year when there is not a good
boating season, and for months at a
time. After the spring and fall freshets
there is almost invariably long boating
season, with ample water for all the
uses of the Lake Superior iron shippers.
