THE COMMERCE. OF THE GREAT
LAKES.

-
The Great Lakes have become the great
artery of our richest commercial blood.
says a writer in Ainslee's Magazine. One
third of the population Of the United
States is dependent on these lakes for it's
port import trade. This water
way taps the richest and most prosperous
agricultural territory on this continent
of ours. together with our most product
i've mines. and 1t is worth while noting
thai within a radius Of four hundred
miles of Cleveland lies one-half the pop
ulation of the United States. It is a wen
established fact that deep-water trans.
portatlon Is, and necessarily must be, far
below the cost of transportation by rail-;
indeed, it Is computed that the cost Of
water transportation by steam, when the
voyage is of any considerable length, is
about n e-quarter the average cost OF
transportation by rail. while by sailboat
1t is only one-eighth of the latter. AS this
question Of transportation determines
to a great extent or the non-existence of
a possible industry, and enhances or di-
minishes the value of every article Of ex-
port in proportion to it's efficiency and
economy, the battle-cry of the west for
twenty feet Of water between Duluth
and the sea" is mo great problem to ac-
count for. In the year 1898 there passed
through Sault Ste. Marie canal no less
than 21,234,66 tons Of Canadian freight.

American ships moved some 1853. 900. 900
tons through the same waters for the
same length Of time. The total traffic
through the locks of this $500" canal
for less than eight months. is five times
as great In number of vessels and slightly
less than twice as much in actual ton
mage as passes through the Suez canal
during the entire year..

FASHIONS IN HANDKERCHIEFs.

them for laced" handkerchiefs in the

OF the varieties. Another has a basket
of flowers exquisitely embroidered in a
single corner. the rest being plain. The
size OF the modern handkerchief is sell

such war has been forced upon us, and
they believe in reaping all the benefits
OF such a war after we have poured

conflict involved. 1t is evident at this

managers assert that the issue of i'm
