Mr.. Robinson's Letter.

| Many thanks for the very interesting
| notes YOU send me from the Washington
Star and the cuts are most amusing Per-
| haps a few words on the subject by my
self may be worth sending.
To be quite fair to the architects it is
we'll TO remember that their idea that one
should mutilate trees and plants to make
them harmonic with architecture is a
stupefyng survival. When the French
and early architects designed their build
ings they had usually one or two native
trees which they used. and which. being
forest trees. like the lime. that naturally
grow eighty feet high. had to be cut down
to keep them within reasonable bounds of
the house for reasons of light. etc. In
our now rich tree flora they may have
trees that suited the situation without
mutilation. But they go working
against all true art because there is no
reason whatever to suppose that beautiful
building requires the mutilatiOn~oft trees.
There is plenty of evidence of this both
in English and continental gardens. In
France itself. on central court of the
Louvre. there are trees in their natural
forms. and one can see at glance it is
gain to a good building. rather than a
loss.
You may remember the line of ems in
front OF my house 1t borders a straight
walk and there is a straight walk quite
near. If you could imagine these trees
tortured into formless uglinesS as we see
in many town gardens in France 1t
would make a Scarecrow of the house
and theartist would flee from it. In any
given position if we want trees we
should take those that suit it as regards
size and so avoid distortion. l feel sure
that the artistic architects will see this
in time, as some of them do now [ am
glad to say, here.

r. S. 4. Thompson of Fort Wayne.
Ind. calls attention to the fact that my re.
cent figures concerning traffic on the De-
trvit river. 81 100 5O4 tons. and for the
total shipments by lake. S3,3S7.9l9 tons,
are far below the truth, because they re-
fer solely to traffic carried on by Ameri-
can vessels between American ports.
emitting all the traffic carried from
American to Canadian ports and from
Canadian to American ports and from
other Canadian ports to other Canadian
ports
] submitted Mr.. Thompsons criticism to
Mr. o. P Austin. chief of the bureau of
statistics. who furnished me the original
figures and he replied follows:
Mr. Thompson is right in asserting that
the figures given by you as representing
the total lake commerce are too low, in
asmuch as they do not include the for
egn trade-the traffic between United
States and Canadian ports as we'll as
the amount of traffic moving between
Canadian ports. The only complete record
of traffic between the upper and lower
lakes is found in the annual statements
of the 500 canals. Our figures of dOmeS-
tic shipments are Furthermore somewhat
incomplete for the reason that the law
does not compel masters of vessels to re-
port movements within the same GUS
toms districts to the collectors of Gus
TOMS who as YOU doubtless know. for
ward to this Office the supplementary
manifests from which we make up our
lake commerce reports 1t is true that the
larger part of the intra district move
mentS is reported to us on these supple
mentary manifests, but there can be no
doubt that part of the purely local
movement does not enter even our rec
ords. Mr.. Thompson errs. however. in
stating that there are no data recording
the total tonnage of the larger European
ports: thus. for example. the total vessel
movement at London for the calendar
year 1906 appears to have been as follows:
Entrances. Clearances.
Net tons reg. Net tons reg.
Foreign trade. H. 222542 S.1S3.4OO
Coastwise trade. 63i31I3 S.342.'6S
Similar figures for Liverpool for the
calendar year 1906 were as follows:
Entrances. Clearanccs.
Net tons reg. Net tons reg.
Foreign trad" ..... $780, sl25' Az
Eoastwise trade. ....... $3.50 1I3 3.I21 .G)S
Totals ............ IL 1876 $50 10, SAG, So
Similar figures are available for the
European continental ports-Hamburg,
Bremen. Marseille, etc. There are, how
ever, no official data regarding the coast
wise vessel tonnage of our own American
ports. and this is why all the comparative
figures of vessel tonnage usually quoted
are for the foreign trade only.

The actual freight 1Of IWb is f,toi-to
tons greater than in 1900. The number OF
vessel passages has decreased 40. There
were SS1 steam vessels that used the De-
troit river during the season of l9o6: OF
these there were 116 the registered ton
mage Of which exceeded 100 tons. The av-
erage tonnage of these 116 steam vessels
was 1 500 net registered tons. There were
216 sail vessels of more than 100 tons the
average of tonnage of which was 92l tons
The number and class of vessels and
the number of passages have been taken
from the customs house and post office
records at Detroit. The registered ton
mage Is taken from the American and
Canadian Blue Books.
The total freight traffic through the
Detroit river for the season o. 1905. when
compared with the season of 1905, shows
an increase Of 4.161.21J tons. In normal
years the commerce of the Detroit river
exceeds that of ST. Mary's Falls canal
by about ne-fourth. During the years
1903 and 1901 the excess was about one
third, but these two years were marked
by a considerable diminution of traffic.
The mean excess for the past six years is
- per cent
LAS YOU will see" continued Mr. Aus
tin. the only exact data contained in
the above statement the figures of
vessel tonnage: the other data are mere
estimates obtained by applying the Saut
Ste. Marie canal ratios between vessel and
merchandise tonnage TO traffic passing
through the Detroit river. While I have
no criticism to offer against the use of
this method of obtaining an estimate of
the local traffic. a comparison Of our own
figures of domestic traffic with those
shown by the United States engineers
office iustifies the belief that the figures
are not quite correct.
Foreign Rivers and Canals.
Regarding the traffic on other rivers and
canals" said Mr.. Austin, the imperial
German statistical office reproduces an es-
innate of the total traffic on the Rhine
for the year 1906 taken from the annual
report of the central committee for Rhine
navigation. which gives a total of 6OOl1,-
S9S metric tons of 2.204.6 pounds shipped
on the Rhine during 1906 as against IS
466, Ji2 metric tons in 1905. This total,
however. includes the export traffic to
and from Holland and beyond by sea.
which during 1905 amounted to 1902 ,OCC
metric tons imported into Germany. and
I.16s.OG0 metric tons exported from Ger
many via the Rhine. There are no such
complete data cor the other large German
rivers. The river commerce of Hamburg
by way of the Elbe is stated as 51O6,OOO

AMEND THE GAME LAWS

hunters are compla ming Of the
scarcity of ducks and chickens, In
the case of the former, the fine
| weather so far has kept the water
fowl from starting on their annual
southern flight, which partially ac-
counts for their scarcity, and in the
case of chickens the dry weather,
which has dried up the waterholes,
lakes and lower creeks, has had the
effect Of driving them up to the
mountains. and this condition in part
accounts for their scarcity.
We say in part, for the indiscrimi-
| nate issuing of licenses to irrespon-
sibse parties at all seasons, who want
to let them tell it, merely to "hunta
da rab and da snipe,' in addition
to the hunting by swine Of the: same
GLASS; without license, results in
the killing of thousands Of young;
birds before they are hardly able to
leave the nest. even mother birds; on
the nest not escaping the voracious-
ness of these pets of the immigration
and steamship company grafters.
| This Dago jap hobo alliance for the
extinction of the game of the state
is getting unbearable, and it is to
be hoped that the coming Legislature
will amend the laws so as to, prevent
the issuance of a license to any one
NOT A CITIZEN OF THE. UNITED
| STATES, or to any one during a.
| period of not over three days prev
ious to the opening of the game sea-
son, and in addition, to work either
foi the adjustment of the office of
game warden, altogether, or to give
the office a complement of deputies
that will make it physically possible
for them to make good.
The report Of the game warden
shows a goodly balance in the treas
ury OF his department.: Spend this
money, and lot more with It., if
necessary, to conserve the intent Of
a far reaching and beneficial law,
rather than by false economy allow ii
to become dead letter ON the stat
utes, and 1t right now has very
short distance to go to become that.
