II is safe to say that, outside Of the
residents Of the lake cities. the masses
of the American people have very in
adequate idea Of the enormous volume
Of commerce on these great inland seas.
The report Of Secretary Lamont gives
statistics which seem almost incredible.
During the last fiscal year there passed
through the 800" canal 1920 vessels
carrying an aggregate Of 14,Ss9, 3S2 tons
Of freight, which exceeds the amount
Of freight carried through the Suez canal
during the same period by nearly g.
9O00 900 tons. The commerce which pass
ed through the Detroit river during
the year amounted 20 25,S5OOOO tons.
valued at $275OOO,OOO This tonnage is
in excess Of the combined net tonnage
of London end Liverpool for the year
1894. Yet a dozen people know all about
the Suez canal to one who is able to
even locate correct the Sault Ste. Marie
canal! The Suez canal, being in a
warm climate, is open to commerce the
year around; while the 800" canal is
frozen up every winter and for about
six months has no commerce. Hence
its traffic in a half year-the season Of
lake navigation-is almost double that
Of whole year through the Suez canal
England boasts Of her commerce. and
is called the greatest maritime nation
on earth. Yet the tables of the United
States bureau of statistics show that
the aggregate tonnage, coastwise and
internal considered, Of this country is
very largely in excess Of that Of Eng

road traffic is concerned. An Httcmpt to
get passengers through to Portland was
abandoned The vushout at WinlocS pre-

outs further down the line do not permit
trains from Portland to reach that point.
The White river bridge on the seattle
branch is still down, and no trains are
running on that line All travel between
this city and Seattle is carried on by sound
steamers. On the line to the east several
washouts east of the mountains prevent
trains running.
A Seattle dispatch says: The Canadian
Pacific is the only road moving thus far,
but it is claimed that the Great Northern
will push its coast line train out this after
noon, and railroad men say the Northern

night but this is hardly thought possible.
