CANADIAN SHIPS YANKEE RIVALS

Cleveland, April 14-Opportunity
for an American monopoly of ship
ping between ports in the United
States and South America is threat
ened by Canadians, who now operate
more than half of the ships plying
on the Great Lakes
Canadian vessel owners, anticipa-
ting long period of business depres-
sion in the Dominion as result of the
war, declare they will send fifty ships
through the Welland canal, equip
them for ocean traffic and go after
the South American trade.
At the present time there are on
the lakes over 100 Canadian vessels,
each of 1900 tons capacity, which
are small enough to pass through the
Welland canal and large enough for
ocean traffic. OF the Great Lakes
vessels owned in the United States
there are about twenty-five of the
same size.
Many of these Canadian boats will
be sent through the canal, down the
st. Lawrence and to the coast.

PREUS SEEKS TO CLEAR
- SWAMP LANDS TITLE

In an endeavor to secure for the
state of Minnesota patent to swamp
lands that are believed by state off,
GERS to have been conferred by the
general congressional grant of 1860,
]. A. o. Preus, state auditor, has gone
Washington, D. c., to confer with
q Of the interior department.
i - age involved is from 1oo,-
900, 100000, according to differ
ent estimates. The status of title to
the swamp lands has been uncertain
for more than half a century since
the grant was made, and it is to clear
up this uncertainty that the state
auditor is visiting Washington. He
will present the claims of Minnesota
and learn what the federal govern
ment expects the state to do in order
to make it's ownership of the lands
certain.
