Trent Navigation project, now Is open

In a few years the movement OF ore
TO feed the hungry furnaces of Pittsburg
will be by an all-water route, as canal

and steel will do the work Of fifteen
railroads at the cost Of one.
Today the Great Lakes hold the key
to the commercial supremacy OF America.
Great capitalists, of course, are vitaly
interested in the traffic but most OF the
shipping on the Lakes belongs 70 the
masses, the stock In the owning COM

hundreds OF artisans and mechanics now

Of tine Lakes and In installing instru-
ments on the Lake vessels.
No sooy,r had the wireless telephone
become a commercial practicabiIity,
through the perfected inventions OF DR.,
Lee de Forest, who previously had won
distinction in the wireless telegraph field,
than it's adaptation became matter OF
greatest concern TO the shipping inter
ests Of the lakes. When the De Forest
system was Installed and successfully
tested by the United States Navy with
the result that Admiral Evans was able
to be In constant vocal communication
with all the officers and ships of the

opportunity to have made port or a safe
harbor. AS 1t was, they had no warn
ing OF impending danger.
Another great peril 10 lake shipping
IS that of collision and conditions in this
respect grow worse from day to day.
Daring the whole eight months of the
shipping season each year, scarcely a day
passes without one or more collisions.
These conditions, which Of course are
especially acute In time OF fog, could be
almost entirely Obvlated by wireless tele-
phonic communication from ship to ship
and, as all the dangers which surround
the shipping interests on the lakes ratu-
rally compel the exaction of excessive
Insurance rates, this in turn reacts upon
the freight tariffs so That the over
coming OF the perils from storm and col
lIsIon means a material reduction in cost
Of present lake transportation which, in
spite OF every existing obstacle, is ex-
ceptlonally low.

safeguard Against Extortion.

It is an admitted fact that the Great
Lakes constitute the nations chief safe
guard against oppressive railroad rates.
They are the regulators Of our great COM
merce and the traffic on the lakes saves
to the people OF the United States $780,
100000 annually, or SO for every man,
woman and child OF our population
Transportation over the lake waters in
modern steamships costs from one
fifteenth TO one-quarter OF the prevailing
railroad rates It costs only two cents per
hushel to ship grain from Duluth to Buff
falo and only eighty cents TO carry a ron
OF ore between these two points. This Is
exactly one-seyenth the cost OF railroad
transportation for the same commodities
between the same ports.
In passenger rates nearly like differ
ence is shown, During the season OF 1908
the splendid passenger service OF the
Great Lakes was used by more than
i0.O00,000 people and the ratio of in-
crease indicates that this total will
be doubled In less than a decade,

der of this electrical age, Is
on the eve OF working n complete revolu-
tion in the methods OF handling the enor-
NOUS shipping of the Great Lakes.
Already, at scores OF points along the
lakes, the towering poles of the wireless
telephone system, each with its antennae
Of wiresg are being put in place so that
by next Spring the system which already
has made itself invaluable to the great
Pacific feet OF our navy as well as to
the navies of Great Britain and Italy,
will be In use from end to end OF the
chain OF Americas inland seas. BY use
OF this system marine insurance rates
will be reduced to O minimum, owing to
the fact that all storm warnings may be
transmitted Immediately to lake vessels
so that they win have ample time to
make safe harbors and. used in conJunc-
tion with the enormous existing land sgs-'
tenn Of wire telephones, viii make It pos
sible for persons either on the shores OF
the lakes or hundreds OF miles away, TO
talk with officers OF or passengers on
any OF the vessels engaged in the iake
trade
Without the enormous expense OF
wire maintenance that is necessary for
the wire phone systems. and also With
out the expense OF an expert operator
I as ds necessary with wireless telegraph
systems, the use OF the wireless telephone
will be within financial reach OF the most
modest sailing craft plying from port to
port.
Few persons, even those directly COM
nected with commerce on the Great
Lakes, realize the enormous interests rep
resented In that trade therefore few re-
alize the vast boon conferred by the
latest electrical marvel. Eighty per
cent. of all the water tonnage OF North
America Is carried on tho Great
Lakes Thirty thousand craft OF all clusses
to-day are engaged in the lake trade, and
the take shipyards are from one to three
years behind on their orders from lake
ship.owners. Although one-half of all
the vessels bullt In the Western Hemi-
sphere in 1908 were for the Great Lakes
trade, the need for more bottoms has be-
come so acute that steamship companies
engaged in the trade recently have been
obliged to go to English and Scotch ehlp-
yards with orders.

An Enormous Fleet.

= The freight conveyed over these waters
During 1908 was more than seven
times as much as the whole world car
ried through the suez Canal In the same
time. Four thousand freight steamers 25O
big passenger steamers and about 25,OOO
pleasure and other craft comprise the
enormous Great Lakes fleet, which uses
upwards OF three million tons OF coal in
a single year, or enough to heat every
house in Chicago for three years.
The Plttsburg Steamship Company,
which is merely the carrier Of the United
States Steel Corporation, alone owns ships
with a combined capacity OF G50,00O tops
OF ore during d single trip. IL the ships
OF this company alone were placed end TO
end they would cover a distance OF eight
miles and during the eight months Of
Great Lakes navigation each year they
carry as much freight from Lake SUI
rerior to Lake Erie portssas ali the ves-
sells of the world take through the Suez
Canal IN a whole year. In weight OF freight
annually handled, Buffalo and Duluth are
the worlds greatest ports, while the tons
mage handled at Ohio ports alone exceeds
that OF all the ports OF France Daring 1907
approximately 100,000,0O0 tons OF freight
were shipped In Great Lakes bottoms,
This would be enough 10 ni 100000
forty-ton freight cars, or a train that
would girdle the earth and extend from

Afore than 90 pei cent OF this immense total
