COMMERCE GREAT GROWTH.
Report Shows Immense, Steady Growth
Here EurinS the Past
Six Years.

The annual report of Captain d. d.
Gaillard, United States engineer in
charge of the river and harbor i'm
provements on Lake Superior, has
been issued Showing the marine bust
ness Of the Supei ior- Du h harbor
for the pa year. To students of
transportation the book is quite a
document and to the people interested
In the head of the lakes it is especially
interting as showing the great growth
of the commerce within the past six
years. The report goes into details
on the subject of the Superior Duluth
commerce and is very comprehensive.
The total amount of freight handl led
in and out of the harbor for the year
was 1898 tons showing an in
crease over the year 1900 of 1,243, 12o
tons. The total valuation of the
freight handled here during the year
was S161, 3O5, S19, or an increase over
the valuation of the receipts and ship
ments of the proceeding year of $780,
1876, 122. In the year 1895, the first
that statistics were kept Of the two
ports by the force at the office of the
engineer, the receipts and shipment of
freight amounted to 1925, 35l net tons
with a valuation of s95, 900, 900. In six
years the freight tonnage of the har-
Dor has more than doubled in amount.
The growth Of the commerce has been
constant and steady. Not one year
shows a decrease but on the contrary
every year shows noticeable
increase.
compilation of the figures for the
six years shows some interesting
things also. There is a total of 90, 49,
375 tons received and shipped here
during that time while the valuation
amounts to 1921 ,43O, OS6 for the bust
ness done here during these six years.
These figures are large but only show
that the government has been right in
spending on the SuperiOrDuluth har-

pu in. The total amount of freight
moved through the 500 canals in 1901
was %, 403, O65 and the Superior Duluth
harbor received and forwarded more
than three sevenths of that amount.
The lake passenger business at this
point shows large increase over that
of last year despite the fact that the
two big boats the North West and
North Land, were pulled off and the
immense crowds that they usually car
ried were not brought up. There were
81, Ala passengers in and out of the
Superior Duluth harbor during the
year which shows an increase of "a, 421
over the proceeding year
Some figures that show the immense
amount of business are given. The
average of the tonnage received here
daily was ii, 531 tons, while the aver
age daily shipments from this point
were Al, 3s9 tons.
The biggest shipments were wheat,
81, 7S1 ,769; flax 1880, 600; iron ore
6, 464 ,232 tons; lumber 43S, 176,0 900 feet.
