Lake Freight Traffic.

An even more wonderful development
Is to be found in the lake freight boats
But little more than so years ago a lake
boat sailed into Buffalo harbor with
5000 bushels of grain from Chicago
and the event was hailed as one of the
Notable happenings of century. To-
day there are many boats carrying
more than 100000 bushels in every car
go. The movement of grain from the
west to the seacoast by way of the
lakes is represented by an average OF
nearly 300.000,0OO each year.
The first cargo of iron ore shipped
from Lake Superior mines contained
600 tons. To-day single cargoes of 5000
tons and over. are being unloaded. at
South Chicago docks so regularly that
they do not excite a passing comment
even in lake marine circles.
Evolution has followed evolution in
the type of the lake freighter, as in
the type of the lake passenger boat AS
late as 1862 there were on the lakes
1852 wooden sailing vessels. and but
$50 steam vessels To-day the steam
tonnage of the lake is nearly four times
as large as the sail tonnage.
Another evolution is in the material
used in ship construction. In 1886
there were but six steel freight boats
plying the waters of the lakes To-day
two-thirds of the boats built for the
lakes are of steel, and but few years
more will mark the passing of the
wooden freighter.
One of the oddities of the lake traffic
was the whale backs. The first of these
was the big passenger boat built for
the excursion trade at the time of the
worlds far and which is still running
between Chicago and Milwaukee, This
was followed by a large number of
freight boats built on similar lines with
the exception of upper decks. They
were in demand as ore and grain car
riers. But the fad for this type of YES
sci is passing, and while a number of
them are still in service no more are
being built.

and of a new start in domestic life
were at last abandoned.
Neither of the deserted pair had at
that time any thought of divorce. They
grieved together, or tried to comfort
one another, and at first hoped to
build one new home on the ruins of
the two destroyed. In this they were
not successful. Frying, unkind neigh
bors, the sense of disappointment in
the old scenes Of their happiness the
irresistible hope that in new scenes
and new environment they could for
get their sorrows and live in peace
and mutual pride prompted them to
come to Chicago.
Here for more than year they have
been happy and prosperous, but both
their business and social achievements
since coming to Chicago have con-
spired to put new meaning and add
unforeseen difficulties to their condi-
ton. They began to see that If they
were to begin freely as at the BEGIN
ming they must be absolved from en-
tanglements or from any claims that
the sad past and it's legal conse-
quences might entail. And to this
end they discussed every phase and
angle of their mutual, predicament, and
at length determined to bring action
simultaneously and to fight side by
side for what they believe their rights,
even as they had endured together
what they believe to have been their
wrongs. i
The sons complaint against his wife
goes no farther than the charge Of de-
sertion and absolute refusal to return.
The burden of the mothers charges
against her husband includes habttual
drunkenness, brutality, and an at
tempt upon her life in April, 1901. q

miles an hour of the old boats, these
vessels will make better than double

With the coming of the new boats
there has come an impetus in the pas
senger business on the lakes. Previous
to the: Buffalo exposition such thing
as through boat from Chicago to Buff
falo was unknown. Now regular line
of steamers carry hundreds of passen-

The new boats have also done much to
popularize Michigan resorts, which are
growing rapidly in favor with the Chi
cago public.

Effect on the Boarding Houses.

The strike cost an almost untold
amount of loss to the various classes
interested. 1t meant a loss of more
than half million in wages to the
operatives; another heavy loss was oc-
casiOned the commission men, the men
who sell the receipts of live stock at
the yards; another heavy loss fell upon
the stock yards company; still another
on the railroads, the packers paid
heavily for the experience in the at
least partial closing Of their plants and
the Initiating of new help; the loss to
the farmers and stock raisers would
run into the millions, but of all the los
ers the smallest amount of considera-
ton was given the boarding house and
restaurant keepers.
Virtually one-flfth of the population
of Chicago live in boarding houses.
Close to 100000 people eat at boarding
house tables twice each day. Let us
take for example boarding house the
writer knows, and at which there are
some 20 boarders. Allow for these 20
boarders ten pounds of meat for each
meal During the strike meat advanced
not less than an average of five cents
per pound. That means not less than
SO cents per meal to the landlady, or
one dollar per day, or 1865 per year.
Over and above the item of house rent
and heat for herself and family that
amount would mean practically all the
profits of the business of keeping
boarders while the rise in prices con-
tinued. It meant no fund for new cloth
ing, no amusements, no vacation trips.
1t left nothing but the bare necessities
of life.
AS it was with the boarding houses
so it was with the private families.
Their cost of living increased material
ly during the rise in prices, and it
takes longer for prices to go down than
it does for them to go up. The strike
will affect meat prices for the next
three months at least. The wage earn
ers may never recover their lost wages,
nor the stock raisers their lost profits,
but in the end it is the general public
that pay most dearly for the privilege
of watching a gigantic struggle such
as the strike in the packing industries.

Chicago.-There are many big things
in Chicago, but the biggest of them all
is the long-horned western steer. His
is the shrine at which greater num-
Der of Chicagoans worship than at any
other representing an industry. To
stop the conversion of this animal and
that of his cousins, the hog and the
sheep, into food products effects Chi
cago quicker than the stoppage of any
other local industry. Not only does it
effect Chicago, but it affects the entire
plants Of Chicago give to the country
more than one-third of the meat fur
nished by the United States. The prod
uct of these plants go into every coun-
try OF Europe, of Asia, Of South Ameri-
ca, OF Africa and the islands of the
sea.
In Chicago there are 80 meat-packing
establishments, employing about 10000
wage earners, with an invested capital
Of close to $70,0OO,O00, paying in wages
nearly $10,000,000 annually, and turn
ing out each year product valued at
close to $3O0,00O.00O. These establish
ments are killing each year one beef,
one and half sheep, and three hogs
for every man, woman and child in the
city each year. They are paying to
the farmers and cattle raisers of the
country close to 1925, 900 for live stock
each year. The stopping of this indus
try means the stopping of nearly one
fourth of the total of manufacturing
industries of the entire state. and the
state ranks third in the value of man
ufactured products in the United States
Such figures give an idea in a general
way what the strike in the packing
houses Of Chicago meant to Chicago
In no other branch of industry could
a strike have hit the city harder. In but
few branches of industry in the city
were the men less organized than in
the packing houses.
