Pennsylvania and the Lake Trade.

The announcement that the Penn
sylvania Railroad would soon construct
a line from a point on the Philadelphia
& Erie railroad to Buffalo, thus making
direct connection of its system with
that important lake port, has been re-
ceived with much interest in all parts
of the country. For many years the
Pennsylvania has maintained a close
connection with Buffalo, both by the
Western New York and Pennsylvania,
which connects with the Philadelphia
and Erie at Emporium and other
points, and by steamer service on the
lakes from Erie. The more direct con-
nection which the Pennsylvania now
proposes to make will not create any
new railroad problems or unduly an
tagonize any of the lines which now
have termini in Buffalo.
The construction of a road of it's
own by the Pennsylvania is in line
with the policy of the company Many
years ago the Pennsylvania secured
fine lake port facilities at Erie, in this
State, and very heavy traffic has been
and will be handled there. The bust
ness done on the Great Lakes has out
grown any estimate or prediction of
even a few years ago, and it has be-
come necessary to adopt new means
of taking care of it. The purchase of
the Erie and Western Transportation
Company, with its fine line of lake
steamers and remarkably well-equip-
ped terminal property at Buffalo and
other points on the lakes, will afford
an opportunity to the Pennsylvania to
increase the lake tonnage of this line,
to the advantage of both Buffalo and
Erie, and will give the proposed Buff
falo branch as good terminals as there
are in that city, which species of pro-
perty has for many years been very
valuable. Aside from it's Importance
as lake port and the Eastern outlet
for the products of the Northwest and
the whole region of country north of
the Ohio river and east of the Rocky
Mountains, there has been great in
crease in manufactures in and about
Buffalo since the water power of Niaga-
ra Falls was made available for that
purpose.
The trafflcsof the Great Lakes, which
now exceeds by far that of any other
inland body of water, will continue to
grow vastly and its volume cannot
ing through the Salt Ste Marie canals
which 22,252,000 tons went through
the American canal. Grain shipments
alone amounted to 90,0OO,OO0 bushels
and the iron ore and coal traffic
approached 100000 tons. Nearly
$500, 100000 of merchandise and pro-
ducts of the soil and mine found their
way to a market through these canals
during the season of 1899.-Philadel-
