TRAFFIC.

"Trunk-Line Traffic and the Differ
entail Rates to and from the Seaboard''
is the title of monograph just issued
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor through its Bureau of Statistics.
1t forms a part OF the Monthly Sum-
mary of Commerce and Finance, and
discusses the pending question of diff
ferential rates on the trunk lines be-
tween the seaboards and the great
grain and stock producing interior of
the United States.
The trunk-line railroads between the
North Atlantic seaboard and the sur
plus grain States of the Central West

baited in the day, left lying over night,
and are stripped of their accumulation
of fish next morning, being baited again
when ''overhauled.'
The fish are taken TO the vessel in
the dories, eviscerated, washed and
sailed. This routine continues until the
bait is exhausted and then the vessel
returns home, lands the fish, takes more
bait and salt, and goes out again. At
ST Pierre her catch is taken in hand
by the graviers and women who sub
merge it in crates until the salt has
been washed off Then they scrub each
fish with a hard, coarse brush, and pile
them in heaps to drain. This done they
are next spread on the benches to dry
in the sunlight and air.
The beaches consist of several acres
of fat ground covered with basalt
stones worn round by the motion Of the
sea for ages.
These stony fields surround st. Pierre
and thousands of cod are displayed
there on a fine day. Every evening, or
if fog or rain threatens, the fish are
tarpaulins. The process is repeated
until the fish are quite dry and hard.
Dry fish are piled in round stacks, the
rest in obIong ones. When sufficient
quantity to load a vessel is obtained
it is packed into her hold and shipped
to market. The extent of the Goldfish
ing of Miquelon and ST. Pierre may be
indicated by the record of the catch of
those islands in 1902, which was 72,500,
600 pounds. Magazine.

How Goldfish are Caught.

Cod fishing is done with dories and
travis. The dories are fiat bottomed,
sloping-sided boats, which fit into one
another in the ships waist, economizing
space thereby.
Each dory takes two men and the
whole crew, except the captain and the
cook, go off in them every situable day
and set the travis in the water out
ward from the ship like spokes from the
hub of wheel. Travis are long lines,
each with 5000 hooks attached at in
tervals of yard, every hook baited
with some smaller fish, either herring,
caplin or squid, that the cod affects.
The travis are anchored at each end,
