"TRAE. MarRINE. REVIEW 39 ; A TRIP UP THE LAKES There is a-feature 'of great lakes trade so com- mon in the great lakes region. as: to. excite' no "comment whatever, but which must nevertheless be a source of great envy -to those who do not live in the great lakes district. That feature of the trade is the passenger business of the 'bulk freight car- riers, a feature carried on by invitation exclusively, - thie passengers being re guests and from whom BOW WAVE OF THE CENTURION. the company derive no ; revenue whatever. Of course, the bulk freight carriers confined to the coal and ore ttades - have practically no- pas- senger accommoda- tions, but nearly all of them have from one to four state- rooms capable of aGc¢.0 mm o d:a-t- ing from two to eight guests. As a tile. "these: invita- tions are confined to interests and fam- ilies directly asso- ciated with the trade. They are by no means dealt out promiscuously. Those that are favored with an invitation, 'however, really have a most delightful time. To the uninitiated a vessel confined to the coal or ore trade might seem a dirty and uncomfortable thing for a passenger to travel on; but the reverse is the truth. As soon as the cargo is aboard the steamer is made as trim and neat as a private yacht and the character of the ac- commodations afforded is such as to justify the term of luxury. Certainly~ similar accommodations on a passen- THE CAPTAIN ON THE BRIDGE. MARY'S RIVER. THE NORTH WEST IN ST. ger liner would cost a royal price, if indeed they could be said to exist at all. The staterooms on a freight boat are really rooms of ample cubical dimensions, supplied with an abundance of light and in some of the old boats being flush with the deck, ventilation is perfect. In fact similar accommodations on a fast Atlantic liner would cost $1,000 from New York to Liverpool. As the companies on the lakes operating these freighters have grown in wealth, in influence and in ramification of enterprise, such as iron mining and steel making, they have given atten- tion not only to the greater burden of the steamer, but Jack Fish ee a peat iy Peninsula Har, oe, & *% Heron Bay SLATE IS. ie R i x iM oe XY --: Rock Har = Otter Cove ips J ; PigecNp, Conglomerate Bay ane pat Ho a : 5 Wauswaugoning Barto --._.-- A Tn essing Miclapicoten Har.

The-great bulk of ore is shipped from Lake Superior ports and taken to Lake Erie docks. The distance from the head of the lakes to Buffalo is 1,000 miles, or to be exact 996 miles, so that a round trip from Buffalo to Duluth or Ashland means a trip of practically 2,000 miles, or two-thirds the distance across the ocean, made under a conditions of comfort that cannot possibly obtain on an ocean liner.
