$500. CANAL rRAEEfc-

Within a comparatively few weeks the
great merchandise traffic on our inland
seas will open up anew. 1t would sound
incredible, if it were generally under
stood how little is known, especially by
the people of the Eastern states. of the
extent and relative Importance of the
carrying traffic done on the American
lakes
Season by season the traffic through
the 800" canal, in which the people of
the Northwest are particularly interest
ed, assumes increased proportions, until
1t has surpassed in volume that done
wholly or partially through any artificial
waterway in the world. We do not
usually know the extent of the freightage
through the Suez canal; but we all I'm,
ferstand that it represents the maritime
carriage of an entire hemisphere. Yet it
is not more than 30 per cent in volume of
that which passes over Lake Superior
through the $500 canal
This Is American traffic. or substantial
~ so, since only 8 per cent of 1t cores
through the Canadian side OF the canal
connection. The latest published report
of those in charge of the canal presents
mass Of statistics from which might
be CLEANED facts of the most astonishing
Character as TO the growth and volume
of that traffic. Over 25.5Oo0OG tons of

ing over 946 days. The increase over the
tonnage Of former years is not as great
relatively as in past years, but it is con-
siderable; while there is an actual loss Of
traffic during the year in the merchandise
carried through the Canadian canal over
that Of the last preceding year of some
thing like per cent
The chief item OF merchandise carried
was iron ore, of which there were 15,50O-
600 tons. valued at over SCI 500, 600. Next
in Importance We're the shipments OF
wheat and -four which aggregated $560GO,-

fourth of this valuation. Copper ore"had
value of $Ss,S1s,O0o. coal of sl4. 6OO,ONe
and other forms of merchandise reached
an aggregate of over S54,eee, COG.
Perhaps the most impressive fact
pointing to the vast Increase looked for
ward to in the future of lake-carfging is
the great Increase, in the size of the yes
sells which has taken place and which is
still a feature of the modern American
lake craft. OF course, much OF the In
crease may be credited to the superior
methods in vogue among those engaged
in the great industry, which insist upon
the largest vessels from motives OF
speed and economy in doing the work
The prevailing rates of freight on those
boats is less than ene-half or that
charged on the best managed of the rail-
roads, while the advances wifi ii have
been made in recent years in the devices
in use for the speedy and economical
transhipment of the merchandise thus
carried operates 70 redace the relative
cost INCREASINGLY.
1t may be possible to stand out even
a few additional seasons against the de-
mand which this vast commerce-which
is but a portion of that done through
the lake ports which do not send their
vessels through the Soo-makes for a
heavy draught outlet to. the. ocean. New
York may continue to block the way to
the ocean, as She has been doing Tor
generations. But the time is not distant
when the imperial state must recognize
the needs of the entire country, and
submit to the inevitable. The inevitable
is a ship canal uniting the Hudson river
and the lakes; and it will come in the
days of men who are already well past
middle life.

-Ih1s would no doubt tend to increase
the business of New York in the shipping
line, many fold. The lake traffic that
passes through the Detroit river is
greater than the foreign and coast-wise
trade of the port of New York. When
it is remembered that this is the com
merce of only three of the great lakes,
the Importance of the New York canal

This proposition of the energetic gov
ernor will meet with strenuous opposi-
ton. 1t will not only be fought by the
trunk lines of railroads in the state of
New York, but those reaching other sea
ports and which seek the Northwest for
business. The lakeo cities Of New York,
including Buffalo, Wal not be enthusiastic
over a scheme, to take from them the
grain storage and sthe business arising
from transfer from boat to cars. This
canal. contemplating the passage of
barges only, will not, receive the support
of the ocean shipping interests which
want twenty-one-foot channel to the
sea- AS scheme for the upbuilding of
the city of New York it is admirable.
1t would make New York the great ship
building center of the world The great
iron and steel syndicate, with shipyards
on Staten Island, would be able to han
die the building of the war vessels of the
world and could build merchant ma
rine that would enable the Americans,
without subsidy, to capture the carry
ing trade and hold it for all time.
This proposition to make New York
great shipbuilding center is said to have
been one of Carnegies dre&ms-a ship
canal from Buffalo to the Hudson would
make it's realization possible.

productive Of no evidence in the least
calculated to throw light on the mystery

NEW YORK AND HER CANAL

Long ago New York lost her grip as a
manufacturing center This was natural
as the city is not in the center of a re-
gion affording raw material. Lately she
has been losing her prestige as a ship
ping point and that is not natural The
casting about for means to not only re-
gain their pristine glory as the greatest
export city of the continent, but to add
to that the other and more to be desired
distinction of being the greatest manu-
featuring center of America. AS long
as the railroad lines continued to dis
eliminate in favor of Boston, Baltimore
and other South Atlantic ports or even
to yield them the same rates as obtained
to New York, the trade which was drift
ing away could not be recalled. And as
long as the cities of Pennsylvania and
Ohio possessed both coal and iron, the
cost of importing raw material to the
metropolis would be a handicap that
could not be overcome.
The discovery and development of the
vast iron mines of Minnesota afforded a
solution to both problems. With canal
from the lakes to the Hudson river the
grain and flour trade of the great West
could be diverted from the st. Lawrence
and other points to which it is being
taken by various railroad lines from the
lake points, to the open lap of New York
city The ore taken from the Northwest
mines could be delivered to the ocean
without breaking cargo.
With cheap ore rates the problem of
iron manufacturing was reduced to one
of coal, and this could be easily solved.
Gov. odeIl is, so it is reported. about to
recommend to the state legislature the
expenditure of s55.OOO.OO0 to build the pro
posed canal sufficiently deep to enable
barges of ten feet draught to ply from

or at least that it might furnish a basis
Tor articles of an original nature. With
all due respect to the committee we beg
to decline. The chairman is a personal
and esteemed friend, as are many of the
members, but knowing the literary bu-
reau as we do, presuming it is the same
as during the last campaign, we must
forego the pleasure 90 of drawing our
political inspirations ,from that source.
Then, too, election Is over, and we pro-
pose to give our readers a little rest
along that line. Again, the letter re-
ferred to is of the rankly partisan kind
and in the main intended to boom the po-
lftical fortunes Of Gov Van SAINT. This
the Times will fatty refuse to do. When
the governor does anything In an official
capacity worthy of commentator we
shall be pleased to say so in our own SIM
pie way, but Up to date we have noted
nothing remarkable officially, while po-
litically he has made more blunders than
any governor since the days of Bill Mer-
Ram, who first gathered around him the
influences which with slight variations
have constantly brought the party to the
verge of ruin in this state and will GER
tainly pr1cipitate it into the abyss in the
near future IL they are permitted to con-
tinue their management of affairs politi-
cal. These may be unpleasant truths.
but they are truths, nevertheless, ard II
the political strikers who now appear TO
have the confidence of the governor
would save him and themselves from po-
litical humiliation they would heed the
murmurs Of discomfort ere it is too late.
The party was saved by the skin Of its
teeth last fall, but there will be neither
skin nor teeth to save in 1902 if the pres
ent grab game be continued.

many to subsidize steamship lines TO

definite sum to line of steamships which
shall circumnavigate the continent of

Monday, was held today, and the coro-

feet that she came to her death from a
gunshCt wound at the hands Of persons

NO attempt was made to Investigate
those who comprised the raiding mob,
or who did any of the shooting in the
Jail.
John Hudson, the husband: Michael
Lockner, the brother of the murdered
woman; Matthew -Goens and DR.. w. p.
Adams were the only witnesses put on
the stand, and they were asked only
questions that show that Mrs Hudson
is dead and that she was killed by a.
gunshot. The jury was out only a few
