500 CANAL TRAFFIC FOR 30
Freight Tonnage Increased 10
Per Cent Over That of the
Previous Year.

No more striking example OF the
magnitude, Importance and rapid
growth of the Lake Superior traffic
passing the portals of the great
artificial waterways at Sault Ste.
Marie can be given than that afford
ed by the annual statistical report
of the business for the year 1899,
just completed by the canal officials,
together with a tabulated compari
son with the commerce Of 1898.
The report shows that a total
freight tonnage of %, ,255, $40 passed
through, an increase of 19 per cent
over last years traffic, which ag-
gregated 2l, ,234, GA tons. In this
connection, few comparisons with
the traffic of previous years may
prove of interest
In 1881, the first year that a rec
ord of the freight tonnage was kept,
the total amounted to l, 567. TAI tons.
In 1885 it had reached 3, 3,256, 62S tons.
From that period until the present
there was a steady increase, with
the exception of 1891, when it fell
behind trife.
AS showing the marvellous growth
within the last decade it may be
stated that this seasons commerce
was only about $4,000 tons less than
the combined years of 1889, 1890 and
1891, and exceeded by nearly 1000,
900 tons the traffic of the years 1893
and 1894

1t seems shame that it is ncces-
sarv to report III cases of tardiness
during one month, but such is the
case. A pupil is considered tardy
if he is not in his room when the last
bell stops ringing Most of those
cases of tardiness are for only few
minutes, on the average about five.
a very suggestive fact may be noted
in that the primary rooms have re-
corded the fewest cases of tardiness

improvcmentin in this respect is noted
in the grammar department of Pc
quaming this month. which has only
one fourth as many as last
The total receipts OF the enter
tainment recently given to provide
funds for the payment of the high
school piano were Sl2.5 The ex-
penses were 80, leaving a profit
of S27. This will reduce the debt to
$50. 1t is expected that with
another entertainment the indebted
edncss on the piano will be cancelled.
The class in physics. have been de-
voting most of their time during the
last two weeks to laboratory work.
They enjoy the fine set Of physical
apparatus which the board of edu-
cation has provided.
The ninth grade will soon finish

begin TO take English history, civil

stead.
The next regular meeting Of the

present.
This month will end the first
semester and examinations will be
held in all branches in the L'Anse
school at its close.
1t is hoped the reports will be
handed in at the close of each month
so the report can be published earlier.
The total enrolment during De-
cember was 214, which is two less
than in November.
The primary department Of Pc

MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCES
Memorandum Discovered Affect
ing a Lease at Negaunee.

A Marquette dispatch states that
q memorandum has been discovered
which affects the lease under which
the Pioneer Iron Co. has entered up
on the lands of the Breitung estate
near Negaunee and begun search
for ore. This paper IS an agreement
between Chas. 7. Harvey, of Choco-
lay, and James +. Reynolds, Of New
York, made fourteen years after
Harvey gave his lease to the Pioneer
company giving it the right to mine
ores on his lands free of charge pro-
vided they were made into merchant
able iron in Marquette county. The
agreement amends this right and
says it was meant to apply only to
the old Pioneer furnace which was
standing at Negaunee in 1857, or 10
one which might be built at Choco-
lay, not more than two furnaces to
have free ore under any considera-
ton. The Pioneer Iron Co. is now
exploring for ore on these lands,
which have since passed to the
Breitung estate, with the expect
ance of using the ore thus found in
its furnaces at Marquette. The
action OF the company has been the
cause of great deal OF speculation
and interest in Marquette county.

Under arecent war revenue ruling
of the United Seates treasury de-
partment the practice OF dealing in
time checks is declared to be illegal.
Revenue officers are giving notice
that person desiring to deal in

brokers license. This ruling kills

The jobbers in Menominee and ad-
joining counties are losing thous-
ands of dollars ON account of un-
seasonable weather. There is no
snow and the weather is not cold
enough to make ice roads. AS a
consequence all the work so far has
been devoted to skidding and the
sideways are piled high with logs.
Unless there is a change ia the
weather soon it will bring financial
disaster to many loggers. To make
up for their losses the latter are now
making preparations to log nights
when the snow and cold weather
comes. Further north the logging
is fairly good. There is plenty of
snow and the timber is, being rushed
to the river banks.
