Favorable Comment From w. n. stead's
Review of Reviews.

The famous whaleback steamer,
Charles w. Wetmore now being loaded
with machinery and shipbuildlng mate
rails at the Pnsey and Jones Company's
wharf, has most of her cargo on beard,
aud wi probably be ready TO clear from
this port tomorrow. From this port she
will go to Philadelphia, where she is
consigned to w F Hagar & Co. After
remaining few days at Philadelphia she
will leave for Taeome, Washington, via
the Straits of Magellan.
The Review OF Reviews says that 1t is
possible that the return of the United
States to the ocean carrying trade may
be accomplished through the rapid
adoption Of this new model of freighting
craft. THE whalebacks are the inven-
ton of Captain Alexander McDougall Of
Duluth and are built at West Superior,
opposite Duluth, at the head OF Lake
Superior. The advantages are summed
up as follows: "They have, of all vessels
ever built, by far the largest carrying
capacity for least cost OF construction,
the greatest strength and security with
tae greatest ease and economy Of opera
tion, the greatest speed with the smallest
amount of coal. It has been perceived for
three years by the most discerning that
the whalebacks would revolutionize the
carrying trade Of the great lakes. especially
as regards the heavy items OF traffic,
such as ore, coal, grain and -four, lumber
and salt. But now they propose TO enter
aggressively into the ocean trade The
Charles w. Wetmore which has lately
carried a cargo OF wheat to Liverpool has
demonstrated her superior seawortbiness
beyond question, She has used only a
third as much coal in carrying 100000
bushels Of wheat as an ordinary freight
steamer would have consumed In such
service 1t will be to many people a
novel idea that the typical water carrier
of the future, destined to be known on
every sea and in every port will have
been constructed in shipyards as far in
land as Wisconsin and Minnesota.

attract their attention when land
ing here are the narrow streets and
poorly constructed pavements or
sidewalks. On many of the latter
1t is simply a jumping up-and-
jumping-down walk. Regarding
the narrowness of the streets, it is
more than difficult and very expen-
sive to both the city and property
owners to remedy but the pave
ments can be made much better
than they are. Except in the win
ter season we haye very little rain,
SO they need be put down but little
above the street, thus doing away
with that Earring as one walks over
them. In all the larger cities OF
the States cement is the material
mostly used in the construction OF
pavements. It is more durable and
pleasanter to walk upon than any
other. Pavements made of wood
are continually needing repairs
always source of expense to those
who must build them, and mo-
pleasant to walk upon.
