LAKE AND RIVER TONNAGE,

President Roosevelt and the water
1 ways men who assemble from hall
the states Of the Union at st. Louis
this week win note with attention
that the tonnage of shipments by the
Great Lakes In August was greater
than In any previous month since La
Sale navigated them with the first
safIboat
Using exact figures. this August
freightage on the lakes amounted to
III .597 ,SGG tons. 1t consisted mainly
Rof coal, iron ore. lumber. grain and
other heavy products which are
moved more conveniently by water
than By rail, and at freight charges
which correspond more nearly with
their value.
The important point for the Presi-
dent and for the waterways men who,
after meeting him here. will proceed
II the Memphis convention, Is that
this immense tonnage could never
have been shipped upon the lakes in
d single month had not the govern
ment provided deep channels In the
Sault Ste. Marie canal and through
the st. Clair river. II the shoals and
rapids separating the deep waters
of the lakes had not been made
navigable for vessels OF heavy draft,
navigation in the lakes would remain
obstrncted as much as Ia navigation
in the Mississippi by the shoals and
sandbars between St. Louis and
Cairo.
without the deep channels connect
Ing the lakes the iron ores from the
Mesaba range and wheat from the
Northwest would pass In driblets out
OF Lake Superior. and heavy freight
would go eastward from Chicago
mainly by rail- What these improve
Ipents have done for the freight ton
mage of the lakes will be done for the
tonnage of the Mississippi by four
teen-foot channel from the lakes
southwark.
Commerce follows the lines of least
resistance aud flows in the open chan
nels. 1t seeks the Mississippi river
in small volume only because nayiga-
fion In that stream is uncertain and
al some seasons costly. Give us four
teen feet through the valley and i'm
few years the Mississippi win be
ready to compare notes with the lakes

vEToEs Two-CENT RATE BILL.
Hughes Says Railroad Problem is One
For Utilities Commission.

Albany, N. Y.-Governor Hughes
vetoed the Baldwin bill providing for
a fiat rate of two cents a mile on all
railroads in the State not less than
$50 miles in length. He declared
such action to be toe arbitrary, and
said the problem should be solved by
the new, Public Service Commissions
after careful investigation.
"This is a critical time" he said,
land the interests of all demand that
reason and judgmentshould control"
1t is stated On good authority that
one of the first duties that will be
prescribed for the new Utilities Com
missions will be an investigation of
the steam roads of the State with a
view to'rate reduction. Some of the
railroads which maintain high mile
age rates have already decided to
make concessions to the. travelling
public and allay the clamor for reme-
dial action on the part of the LegiS
lature or the Utilities Commissions.
