THE state law is very clear on that

FREIGHT

RECORD

Cleveland. April 1o.-coneestio
Of freight waiting to be moved on
the Great Lakes has brought about
a situation unparalleled in inland
water history, says statement
issued by the Lake Carriers asso-
citation headquarters here.
The volume Of freight under con-
tract, says the statement, has now
reached the great total Of 100000
600 tons of iron ore and grain.
Freight congestion has been
caused partly because Of a great
increase in demand and partly by
detay in opening OF the naViga-
tion season. The weather contin-
ues cold enough to keep ice at
upper lake ports intact and it will
probably be May before naViea-
ton is really under way.
The delay in opening the season
means when activities do begin
every available ship will be press
ed into service on the lakes. Even
those that have been idle for sew
eraI years are being hurriedly got
ten in condition to enter the trade
again. Thousands of sailors are
returning to work on the lakes,
many of whom have been idle for
many years.

point, are now on dry land, but with
nearly 20 feet of surplus water in the

that the river is still rising slowly
there, flooding the parks, the base

ARTHUR w. WILCOX.

The sudden death on the 18th, at his
home in Crown Point, N. Y, of Arthur
W. Wilcox, a resident of Bridport from
his birth, April 8, 1862, until few
years ago, came with a shock to this
community. In the early part OF the
day of his death Mr.. Wilcox had ac-
companied his brother, Joseph z.
Wilcox and family, on visit to Bird
port, at which hour he appeared to be
in his usual excellent health. He was a
son of the late Edwin D. Wilcox and his
first wife, Marie G. (Perkins). During
his residence in Vermont, by reason OF
his business activities, Mr.. Wilcox was
well known over an unusually large
circle. the firm of A. w. & j. P. Wilcox
being extensive dealers in choice cattle
and sheep. He held many positions
and offices and was connected with the
Addison County Fair association for
many years. After his removal to
Crown Point he continued his atfilla-
tons with Morning Sun lodge, F. & A.
NJ, of Brdport. He is survived by a
full brother, Joseph P. Wilcox, now re-
siding in the South; also by two
brothers and a sister, julius A. OF
Montpelier, Walter W. of New York
and Mrs. Elizabeth w. Crane of New
York, children of Edwin d. Wilcox by
asecond marriage.
The funeral services were at the Con-
gregational church in Crown Point on
