At the D., l. and w. office in Hoboken il was said that the only occasion for the hurry was that a MT. Walker and his family wanted to get to New York as soon as possible.

hope sprang up in me that we were

at East Tawas, and when the blow was
over she brought me, along with some
1000 tons of ore from Escanaba, down
to Detroit.
I know less about raft towing than I
meant to know, but l have seen more
of the lakes than would have been pos
sible in a dozen voyages on palace
steamers. The freighter was in itself
an object lesson. Honeycombed with
cargo matches for quick loading and
unloading, her deck u vlSJa OF cranes
for raising and lowering ore, naval
architecture in the East has produced
nothing like this great lake carrier.
With the enormous expansion of lake
traffic in the past five years, and the
near prospect of a simultaneous de-
mand upon Congress and the Domin-
ion Parliament for deep waterway to
the sea, the lakes and the lake COM
merce become pressingly interesting.
Not as a fOolhardy, amateur rafts-
man, but as one who has wandered for
days among the towering elevators,
the bustling ship-yards and the crowd
ed docks of the lake ports, asking ques-
tions of boat builders, lake sailors and
United States engineers, wonder how
large part of the East knows that the
tonnage which went through the Sault
Ste Marie canal last year was twice the
Suez tonnage, and that the Detroit riv
er tonnage was five times the Suez ton
mage. Taking it in round numbers,
Suez passed 1000, 900 tons of freight in
1894, Sault Ste Marie 13,200,000 tons,
Detroit River 35,O00,0O0 tons. When
this years tonnage is reckoned up at
the close of navigation an increase of
not less than twenty per cent. is eX-
pected to show, making these gate
ways of the Northwest more emphati-
cally than ever the points where dur
ing the 230 to 24O days of navigation
the greatest tonnage of the continent
is congested.
If London is the greatest maritime
port in the world and New York and
Liverpool dispute for second place,
then Chicago, Buffalo, and Cleveland
are ready to contend with all other
rivals. AS long ago as 1890 the re-
ceipts and shipments at Cleveland
amounted to 100000 tons. as against
12.5000OO at New York, 2,5OO,OOo at

The powerful tugs that bring down
the enormous log RATS from upper
Michigan and Canada make it uncom-
fortably and picturesquely. Such is
the occasional perversity of human
nature, that l chose to take my first OBJ
servation of the lakes from log raft
1t is hard matter to manage, espe-
cially at this season. At Detroit the
agents of the towing companies looked
at me askance and remarked that the
weather was unsettled. They said fur
ther that no more RATS would pass east
this season. All the autumn rafting
was shorter trips for the mills up Lake
Huron.
That which is easy is interesting, and
l endured q good deal of that part Of
Michigan which is all salt and stumps

There had been blow on Lake Huron
and a South bound raft was in shelter
in Thunder Bay.
My raft contained nearly 100000
feet. 1 was sorry it wasn't q bigger
one. 1t had come from Marquette, I
think. and was refittirg. Negotiations
to secure passage We're difficult and
delicate. For the space of some hours
they seemed fruitless. But in the end
feminine persistence, backed by Gre
dentials, prevailed. A woman can do
anything she chooses, but perhaps
she's not likely a second time to choose
to tow logs on Lake Huron. A lazy
looking lumberman from Canada sum-

ern Scene of hustle and commotion.
When we had pulled out into clear
water-dodging vessels at anchor and
hoating RATS and humping no end of
runaways-it appeared that our raft
was shaped like kite or a boat, for
ease of motion. The boom poles We're
heavy logs with iron staples at either
end and lashed together with chains.
The raft was more than third of
mile long and something less than 200
feet wide. AS to it's internal economy,
it was blocked off into sections. Sec
ondary booms and chains divided it
like checkerboard, and every log had
a rivet at each end by which it was
chained to some other log.
1t was cold. The wind had ice in it's
teeth. There was no romance in tow
ing against stiff head breeze while
your teeth were chattering. AS 1 curl
ed up in the most sheltered corner of
the deck Capt. Job told me stories of
wild nights on the lake. 1t seemed to
be his idea that l wanted horrors and
that, having tolerated me as passen-
ger, his duty would be neglected If l

With this wonderful progress al.

absolutely the future of the Northwest
depends upon it's waterways. Ninety

now reshipped by rail or by the Erie
