vim ns the President
of 1t.

CHICAGO, April 20-The Lake Marine
News today makes public the following:
Plans of new steampship line between
Duluth and Montreal, announced today,
give much greater Importance to the
project than the establishment of another
lake line. The building of these boats
will be the beginning of an era when the
lake ship yards take a leading place in the
construction of light draughts for ocean
service. Before ice blocks the way next
winter light draught boats will be on the
Atlantic and more will be under construc-
ton.
The new company will be known as the
International Navigation company. Presl-
ident will be A B. Wolvin, of Duluth.
Headquarters will be at Duluth. Its feet
already under contract will consist Of
three steamers and three barges of the
Welland canal size, and in that draught
of water will carry 1900 bushels of
wheat. For ocean service they will carry
1,00e tons more. Construction will begin
at once on four of the boats, which will
be completed early next fall. The new
line will operate, 1t Is expected, during
the season Of navigation between Duluth
and Montreal, carrying freight to the
ocean steamers at the latter port. Before
ice stops everything on the lakes the ships
will be on their way across the Atlantic
with cargoes direct to Europe, if a pay
ing freight can be secured.
The article also says that new type of
vessel has been evolved, suitable for car
rying heavy loads in comparatively shall
low water, with the engines aft, as in
lake vessels and with changes in the
hatchways, and this type will be used in
the construction of the new vessels.
