Traffic on the Lakes.

The people OF this country have thus
far scarcely realized the Importance
and magnitude of the traffic on the
chain of lakes. Only a short time ago
Detroit stood second as a port Of entry
in the United :. .ates. and by this time
she may possibly STAN frs, as he
handles over Il per cent of the exports
of the entire series of northern border
and lake ports. 1t has long been a
proud boast of the City Of the Straits
that more than twice as much tonnage
passes through the Detroit River dur
ing the season Of lake navigation as
through the Suez canal during the en-
tire year. This is literally true. The
figures for 1902, for instance, as given
BY the Blue Book of American Ship
ping. are $4,000 900 tons for the Detroit
River. as against II, PAS, 413 tons for the
international waterway.
The summaries of the tonnage pass
ing the Government locks at Sault Ste.
Marie afford the best indication Of the
enormous growth of lake commerce, as
the greatest development of the grain
and iron ore trades has been through
ports at the head OF Lake Superior.
These reports show that the freight
movement in 1902 had reached the
enormous total of S5,961,146 net tons,
against 11.214, SS3 tons in 1892. only ten
years previous. and against only 1861
al tons in 1881, the first year in which
the number of tons of freight was re-
corded. Similar gains are shown IN
the registered tonnage Of vessels,
which amounted TO 31,955,5S2 tons in
1902, as compared with 10,647,203 tons in
1892 In 1903 the totals were: Iron ore,
2f, 654, SOS tons: coal, 6,957,63j tons, and
grain, 93,4S01SS bushels.-Hugo Erich

The NeoU Uay.

A gene ,tion ago the king of but
ter and cheese was a home industry.
These familiar occupations have lately
developed into special manufacturing
industries conducted in establishments
known as creameries and cheese facto-
ries; and the effect of this development
has been to change the character of
dairy farming, as well as of dairy man
ufacture. They have also raised the
quality of the manufactured product,
and have produced such a uniformity
of grade and continuity Of supply as to
establish the products as important
commodities in the general market and
to make the factory men prominent on
boards Of trade
OF all the butter. cheese and con-
dersed milk factories there are in New
York State-which is the leading dairy
State-more than 21O0 establishments.
they constitute the most important
market establishment enterprise in the
agriculture of the Empire State

His Sad Regrets.


j. B. Southland, old-day miner In the
Western FL Dorado, lawyer at the State
bar. preacher for a season, Judge on
the bench, but now gone over "Lethe's
wharf into the sea that sweeps away
to an unknown shore, once found time
hanging on his hands.
He accidentally met one afternoon a
long-lost friend and ex-partner from
the mines of an upper county. The
Judge had not seen Bill since they had
shoveled dirt into fiume together back
in the dim SOS. They dropped all else
and Rugged each other in Oriental fer
vency Then the hours flew with a
whiz. Not in the ordinary rush, but so
rapidly that the minutes and seconds
fell off the body of time and were lost
on the way. First at the Occidental
bar, where the Judge was at home;
thence to Frank Garcia's, and after
ward to the Pacific Club-now out of
date. Then to the other resorts fire.
quented by the bohemians Of the town
and the day. Without hating they
went over the route again. hurrying,
hurrying on through the night. No ac-
count has been kept Of the llbations
that were poured out in that bacchana-
liam feast. Bill had frequently turned
himself loose and made the golden
dust fly after the cleanup, but this
was faster than the best time Of min
ing town carouse.
Along toward morning Bill began to
break, and finally lost his feet The
Judge carried him on around the
stretch till his condition called impe-
riously for a downy bed and the re-
storer-sleep.
When the hack had rolled off for the
hotel with Bill the deserted and lonely
man stood looking sadly down the
street. The sun was flushing the sky
over the green Alameda hills and the
young day was finding its way through
the city streets. But time had left no
record of the passing night. To him
an hour was as a second and cen
fury as a day.
What shall I do he soliloquized;
what the thunder shall do the rest
of the night?"

Commissioners calling upon public spirited citizens 70
aid the enterprise and authorizing the driving association
to act in the matter, that body has issued circular in
vtng subscriptions.
The Park Commissioners have subscribed $4,000 mon
condition that the otber $4,000 shall be made up by the
public Of that amount $6,I66 has been obtained from
about three hundred citizens leaving stated balance
needed of 1894
