TRIP ACROSSLAKE MICHIGAN
ON THE ANN ARBOR FERRY

With regular passenger service across
the lake from Manitowoc. Sheboygan
and Two Rivers in the summer season, il
is believed by many that it would be u
paying investment There is no more
delightful and refreshing trip than to
take an Ann Arbor carterry, which is
provided with accommodations for pas
sengers, and spend part of two DAYS on
the lake The Ann Arbor ferries are
run to Frankfort, Il picturesque village
with good hotels and within a radius of
five miles there are fine summer resorts
which are visited by many Milwaukee
and Chicago people.
At present the carferries are not run
on schedule time, but sentiment could
be worked up in favor of a regular boat

"The port of Manitowoc is situated at
nearly the middle point of the western
shore of Lake Michigan, lying about one
hundred and seventy miles from its
most southern point and about one hun
dred ninety miles from the Straits of
Mackinac. The city is distant only tif-
ty-eight miles from Ludington, lying
opposite on the eastern shore. About
eight miles north of the straight line
connecting these cities, the width of the
lake Is contracted to about fifty miles by
two projecting points, Big Point Sauble,
extending three miles on the east, and
Twin River Point, extending seven
miles on the west The protection af
forded by the latter has always render
ed ManitCwOc a favorite harbor of refuge
in storms
Further to the southwark the lake
widens. The corresponding distance
from Milwaukee to its nearest opposite
port, Grand Haven, being eighty-fve
miles. This natural contraction has an
important bearing upon winter naviga-
ton, as it tends to force the ice south
ward under the influence of the prevail
ing northerly winds, away from the two
harbors of Manitowoc and Ludington,
and thus TO keep them unobstructed by
flows when ports below are closed for
long periods. Experience of many years
has shown that this exemption can be
depended upon during the entire winter,
except perhaps for two or three days at
a time while the wind holds unchanged
in direction, and hence that this route
across the lake is the best possible for
the transfer of freight.
Gate to East and West.
It's relations to the through route be-
tween the East and West have conferred
important advantages upon Manitowoc.
Together with Ludington it lies nearly
on the direct air line between Minneapo-
lis and Buffalo. u line that also passes
close to the tunnel under the st. Claire
and Port Huron which has Il capacity
of 1000 cars daily. These two ports are
therefore on the shortest and best posi-
BILE hne for through traffic by rail The
reduction in distance over the shortest
existing railway route between st. Paul
and Buffalo by way of Chicago is mater
ial, amounting to one hundred fifteen
miles in nine hundred forty seven miles
or about twelve per cent.
But quite Independent of its relation
to this through route, Manitowoc is des-

narily the discharge is very small, the
flow alternating in direction according
to the relative level of the lake and of
the basin formed by the river bed.
The Harbor Entrance.
The general government undertook
the improvement Of the harbor III 1852
and thus far has expended the sum OF
$403, $50 so in deepening the entrance.
Two nearly parallel piers, 240 ft. apart
at the outer end and 800 ft. at the shore
end. have been extended into the lake.
The Northern pier is 1870 #. long and
the southern pier is 2300 fit. A break
water of crib work 400 ft. long was com
pleted in 1895. 1t forms an angle OF
about 45 degrees with the general direc
ton of the piers and lies about 500 tt. in
advance Of the North pier. These struc-
lures have been repaired recently and
are in good condition. The government
work near the lake entrance has demon
strated that Manitowoc Harbor is ex-
ceptionally free from common ten
dency of deterioration from deposit be-
tween the piers and from the formation
of bar in front of them in the lake,
the shoaling at the lake end Of the pier
in thirteen years amounting to only
about one foot Few lake harbors have
so favorable record.
The Inner Harbor.
''Harbor lines have been projected for
distance of about 20 miles from the
lake OF the five miles Of river bank
included within this distance about four
are now occupied or are suitable for oc-
cupation as landings for freight, and
fully one of these four miles is well
adapted to the construction of extensive
slips, easy railroad traffic and is as ca
pacious as the new docks at Manchester
provided to accommodate the new ship
canal from Mersey river.
For about 1000 fit. adjacent to the
lake and in direct prolongation of the
government piers the river is straight

opposite sides of the harbor both are
provided with the usual pattern swing

bridge has two openings, each 66 it, in

Establishing Dock Lines.
In establishing the dock lines of
Manitowoc Harbor five turning places
conveniently spaced are provided for
vessels $50 fit. long and one that will
accommodate vessel 450 ft. long.
In conclusion it may be said that
Manitowoc, fortunate in its geographi-
cal position and natural surroundings,
far reaching railroad connections and
good harbor facilities, only requires deep
water and good plan for handling freight
easily and rapidly to become one of the
great ports of the lake region

tined to become one Of the chief ports Of
lake Michigan. 1t lies directly upon one
Of the main lines Of the c. q n w
Railroad and is the lake terminal Of the
Wisconsin Central system The city
thus has ample connections with the in
terror and us its harbor has been deep
ened to receive the great freighters that
absorb the traffic of the lake, it will be
found to be adapted no less for general
commerce than for car ferry trade
Advantages to Shippers.
The shipper at Minneapolis or St
Paul giving preference to Manitowoc
over Chicago will gain ninety-two miles
railroad hauling and three hundred
miles lake navigation, to say nothing of
not having the cost and delay incident
to switching and transfers in the over
crowded condition of the latter port,
loss estimated at nearly ST Il car.
For Milwaukee, its only other rival,
these figures are seven miles of land
and one hundred fifty miles of water
haul Thus, while the local advantages
at Manitowoc will prevent competition
on equal terms by any other port on
lake Michigan, a great future is prom
ised from its ability to offer cheaper
rates and thus relieve the congestion
now severly felt at Chicago and Mil
waukee
In addition to the car ferry line con
Meeting Manitowoc and Ludington. the
Toledo q Ann Arbor are also running a
line of car ferries to Frankfort. Mich.
The Goodrich Transportation Co are
running a line of steamers from Chicago
to Nanitowoc and points North all the
year round, and the Wilson Transit Co.
are running line of boats from Mani
towoc to Buffalo.
"Manltowoc is prosperous city of
nearly 10000 inhabitants The locality

come the seat Of large manufacturing

already been made and rapid extension
