commsres Of ths Great Lakes Aas
Grown So as to Require Increased
Facilities Ret~een Lakes su-
peror and Huron.

Under the remarkable developments
OF the past two years. commercially
and industrially, during which time
the capacity Of the 500 canal has
been taxed to its utmost, It has be-
come apparent that some provision
must be made TO take care OF the in
creasing demands Of freightage
through the great lakes. When in
lS4S Senator Norveil, the first United
States senator from Michigan, intro
duced bill into the senate requesting
q grant Of land for the building Of the
Sault Ste. Marie canal, Henry Clay
said that "the money might as well
be wasted for project in the moon"
For q time after the completion OF the
canal in 1856, 1t looked as though the
Kentucky statesman had been right.
During the first year only 14.503 tons
of freight, or little more than the
tonnage carried by a single vessel at
the present time, passed through the
canal. The million ton mark was not
reached until 1876. In 1885, the 500
canal began its race with Suez, and
tn 1880, with freight passalr of
100000 tons, 1t exceeded the ssiSoz
tonnage BY more than 100000. In
1900, 25,O62,5SO tons Of freight passed
through the canal BY the end Of 1904
this had increased to 31.546, LOG tons.
Then came the tremendous growth
Of l905-1906 In the one season of
1905, there was an increase OF l2,-
253,56l freight tons-an increase as
great as that Of the preceding eight
years. When to 1905 is added the
increase Of 1906, one arrives at the
astonishing fact that the lake freight
Of the last two seasons shows an in
crease as great as that of the IA years
preceding.
Estimating from official figures
made at sault Ste. Marie, 1t is quite
safe to say that l0O,000,000 tons OF
freight have been transported upon
the great lakes during the last year.
Unless set out in way that the eye
and the mind can seize upon, the mag
nitnde Of these figures can hardly be
appreciated. What does LOG, 1000, 600
tons Of freight mean? To handle 1t
required for eight months the scrv-
ices of $500 lake captains, 5000
mates, $1,000 sailors, and 100000
landsmen. II was nine times as great
as the tonnage that passed through
the Suez canal; twice the combined
annual tonnage Of London and Liver
pool, two OF the worlds greatest sea
ports; and more than 5O.O00.0O0 tons
in excess Of that which entered and
left New York

twenty-five years ago this appar-
emily immortal old man had another
miraculous escape from death. While
cutting logs on HIS farm north Of the
city, he was caught under falling
tree. The tree was a large one and
In the very top, where three heavy
limbs formed a fork. the trunk was
dead. When the tree was cut It be-
gan to fall the wrong way and there
was scatterment among the work
men to escape being crushed. The
dead fork broke or and fell in Just the
opposite direction from the tree. The
| prongs of the fork were several feet
In length and Mr.. Cassell. who
thought he was on the safe side, was
caught under It. After all danger
had passed the other workmen rushed
to his assistance, expecting to find
him dead, but instead he was only

fork had penetrated the earth to .
