Great Season on the Lakes.

In the first two months of the yea
the business of the lakes is confined
almost wholly to the traffic of few
car ferry lines and package freigh
steamers. Yet In January and Febru
ary the total freight shipments b!
lake aggregated nearly $4,000 tons
against Alt 900 tons in the correspond
ing months Of 1905. The rates of in
crease was about 65 per cent. Thi:
proves little as to the general results
of the season of navigation, but it Ger
tainly indicates great and growing
trade and Industrial activity in thu

as a good omen Of record breaking or
a vast scale in the vessel business OF
the year.
