Wyoming, attempted to-day to secure an

and it will no doubt be provided for in that
measure. The necessity for the appropri-
alton is strongly urged in letters to Gov

TIPS FROM A vERDANT.
A Young Man Who Has just
Found Out the Importance OF
the Lakes.

the Lakes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The COM
MERGE of the great lakes is subject
which will probably receive more at
tentiOn during the next congress than
has ever before been devoted to it. The
fact that already a steamer laden with
upwards of 1900 tons of grain has made
a successful trip from Duluth 10 Liver
pool adds greatly TO general interest in
the matter. With a view to personally
inspecting the requirements necessary
for successful navigation of those vast
inland seas, a number of congressman
and Washington correspondents have
visited the waters during the summer
as guests of the Vessel Owners ASso-
citation of Cleveland, o. A party of cor
respondents has just returned from a
tour of the entire American chain of
lakes, from Duluth to Buffalo. taking in
Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, St.
Clair and Erica distance of 2,617 miles.
A representative of the United Press.
who accom- panied the party. writes of
the commerce and its needs, as follows /:
There are now engaged in commerce
on the lakes more than 2,0O0 vessels,
representing an investment of upwards
of s50. LOCO, 600. The average carrying
capacity of the steamers plying these
waters is about $500 tons. Owing to
the dangerous distractions over which
the vessels have to pass, double bot
toms are being put in all new ships to
Obviate their total loss in case they
strike the rocks. Not long since one of
the new steamers picked up a boulder
from the bottom and carried it several
hundred miles without further injury
than an immense hole III her outer, or
protective bottom.
At present it is not possible for the
boats to load TO their full carrying ca
pacity on account of danger
Gus Instructions in the lakes and
rivers. The 500 canal at Sault
Ste Marie, through which all commerce
for the Northwest has to pass, viii only
permit draught of fifteen feet five or
six inches, there being but sixteen feet
of water in the great lock at that point.
Nearly all the coal transported to the
Northwest passes over that route, and
should anything serious happen to the
single lock now in use, coal famine in
the extreme Northwest would probably
follow. The present lock has been in
operation since Sept. l, 1881. A second
lock is in course of construction on the
constructed on the Canadian side of the
river. When these are completed,
facilities for the passage of vessels
Will be more nearly in accord with the
existing requirements. There is great
need Of Immediate dredging and blast
ing along the route Of vessels in the
lakes and rivers. On the route from
Cleveland to Duluth at Point Pole, on
the Canadian side of the Detroit river,
there are a number of dangerous boul-
ders, and at COlch ester, in the Detroit
ri Ver,a there are dangerous wrecks and
rocks. At Bar Point, at the mouth OF
the Detroit river, the distractions are
numerous, consisting principally of sand
and mud. At that point vessels ground
frequently, especially in the autumn,
when the water is more shallow than
during the summer months.
At Lime Kiln crossing, and thence to
