ably with the aggregate external and
intern/1l eommerce of this couutry. The
comperisons hot e no doubt been largely
jutitied by facts. Without resisted to coin-
parisene, however, the lake commerce 10 00
large, and is so rapidly hicreasing, that the
presentation of the figures showing it are
sufficiently eloquent to arrest the at.
tentiou of every thoughtful persen.
From the motnent that a steamer leaves
Sarnia or Owen Sound or any other port to
the southward, tho "Soo" and the time it
may be reached are kept in mind by the
Captain. If by hurrying a little he can get
up the St. Mary's River by daylight, he can
bo locked through into Lake Superior the
same night and go on his way without delay,
If he 60118 011100 Ile cannot make the " Soo
so as to plies at night, he chocks up and sub-

necessity. On the downward trips the re-
verse of this interruption is met wit h. The
channels of Lake Superior Whitefish Bay
are well lighted, eafe, and wide. Steamers
cosi run into the canal alinve the lock at any
time of the night. and the leek will lower
them to the level of the St. Mary's River
below. There they notet tie up, however,
alongside the Government dock until day -

tient vessels that have been detained in
moving up or down. The aggregate of the
hours thus loot could be easily converted by
the figure -maker into 0 large sum of money
lost. To obviate this loss is the aim of tbe
vessel owners, and it will be nearly if not
gnite overcome when the Canadian 1)0110118
opened.
The approach to the "Soo los and.
-canal is pleasing to the eye. At this time
of the year it is ten chances to one that the
day will be bright that the ah• will be
as clear as the pereeteryetal, and
that e11 high noon there will be no sug-
gestion of oppressive heat. As a matter of
fact, it is comfortable here all Stuntner
long, and the elevation of 600 feet aseures
the " Soo" people immunity from the humid
miseries of towns nearer the sett level. Vas-
seis going into the lock turn out of the river
before the effects of tho rush of wicturs from
the rapide is felt, The basin is wide and
deep.
There aro many things about the look to
divert the attention of the observer who is
about to pose throngh it, but the passage is
the thing jnst 1100-, and the Indians who
want to take the visitors over the 'rapids tit
their cenoes may be put off. With much
bellowing of bass whistle and not a little
piping of shrill whistle, the hig ship that is
about to rise from the level of Lako Huron
to that of Lake Superior steams 11110 the
basin that narrows between two granite
walls. It is eighteen feet from the water
111110 below to that above and behind the
gates. Over the gates, and behind the walls,
rise the bow and upper works of a big
steamer. She has come down from above,
and as another steamer and a barge from
below had been floated out into the upper
canal, she had floated in. There is a foamins
of water 111)001 1,110 lower gates, It lasts from
the moment it began, searcely 11101( 110 hour,
Then the ponderous gates stving easily and
slowly open, the big boat stems out, and a
schooner is towed out by a tug, and then
the upward -bound vessel creeps slowly into
the empty look, followed 00011 after by a
schooner nosrly as long as the steesner.
During the fiscal year °tulip g ;lune 30, 11190,
10,108 vessels passed through the locks.
The cargoes of these vessels were worth
885,000,000, They aggregated. 8,288,1380
freight tons, and as the 7,021,535 toes car-
ried in 1839 were valued at nearly 884,000,-
000 the estimate of valuo is not excessive.
There were no aceidents worth mentioning.
There was at times a seitreity of water, and
Ibis compelled the lock officers to limit the
draught of vessels to fifteen foot or loss, to
prove»t i»jury to the ships or the mitarsills
of the look. Tho total registered tonnage
passed through the look since the opening of
the American wand in 1855 is 56,539,876,
