MUCH WORK NEEDED
TO COMPILE REPORT
FOR LAKE SHIPPING

Duluth. Mimi, April Ling con-
nection with the statistical report for
the 1920 shipping season announced
recently by the United States engi-
neer's office here. It * revealed that
considerable routine is connected with
the collection or facts as to the num-
Der of vessels, tonnage, etc, compiled
from the marine commerce in the
Duluth Superior harbor..
In accordance with regulations, the
master of clerk OF every vessel enter
ing or departing fromt the harbor,
through either the canal at the Du-
luth entrance or the natural passage
at the Superior entrance, makes a re-
port to the government Office. This
covers the name of the vessel, the net
registered tonnage, whether light or
loaded. and, if loaded, what the cargo
contains.
These reports, so far as arrival and
departure Of the vessels is Concerned,
are then checkeds against the lists OF
vessels arriving at and departing
from the harbor. provided by a gov
eminent Waterman stationed at the
entrances to the harbor.
Further tests as to the accuracy of
the original reports are made by
checking them with statistics gather
ed by the iron ore and coal docks and

In obtaining the vessel tonnage, net
registered tonnage is used. This is
available from the vessel reports made
to the government Office and checked
by official marine dictionaries, The
net registered. tonnage is the cubical
contents Of a vessel after deductins
the space occupied by engines, boilers
cabins, ETC., and is expressed in tons
of 100 cubic feet each.
Freight valuations for the gov
eminent report were obtained from
various trade journals. commercial
records and the principal wholesale
dealers. They r based on average
wholesale prices on board vessels for
shipments, and landed on wharves fol
receipts.
The valuation Of such commodities
as copper, barley, flaxseed, rye, oats
wheat, flour and coal is computed BY
the month. The average prices II
