LAKE FLEET READY.


Season in History.
Detroit, Mich, April THE great
| fleet of cargo carriers of the Great
| Lakes Is ready for what is expected to
| be a record breaking season Of trans
portation on the inland marine high
ways. Masters and engineers have
| been assigned, crews selected, craft
overhauled and aids to navigation set
| in place.
Numerous factors are cited to sub
| stantiate the prediction Of big sea-
son. Chief among them is the fact
hampered by hull racking battles with
ice formations In the upper lake
region. One Of the mildest winters in
a decade has left navigation routes
| unusually free Of ice. Vesselmen are
| confident maximum movement Will
be possible from the outset.
Quicker passage thru the canal at
Sault Ste. Marie also is in prospect.
The great fourth lock there, with its
100-ton gates in place, is virtually
| ready for operation. Only installa-
ton of minor equipment remains to
| complete it. Indications are that the
| new lock will be formally thrown open
to commerce early in July.
Europe's enormous demand for pro-
ducts of American soil. including
grain, iron ore, copper and lumber, the
| resumption of building operations in
America and removal Of restrictions
on coal allotments almost assume
capacity cargoes for every boat, YES
| selmen say.
SThoro t,r,,U tho M d,o,D 10 q
| fleet for ocean service this year, and
| some Of the numerous vessels taken
to the coast last year may even be
| returned to the lakes.
That the mining regions and grain
fields of the country will measure up
to expectations is regarded as GER
tain. Labor seems plentiful In the ore
regions; the mild winter brought just
enough snow to protect the wheat
crop, forecast as one of the largest
| on record.
Stocks Of grain at the head of the
lakes awaiting shipment are reported
heavier than % year ago, and their
early movement is expected to curtail
shipment Of ore during the opening
| weeks of the season. A considerable
| amount of bitunf1nous coal was re-
ported on Lake Erie docks April 1.
More than 4O7, 100000 net tons of
| ore. coal and grain were carried by
tho great lakes freighters last year,
| under the handicap of numerous re-
! movals of vessels to the coast, the sea-
son was Of but little more than seven
| months duration. The fleet is almost
certain to better these figures this
year. vesselmen say.
