When one realizes that the was practically unpeopled ty-f years ago, one can imagine that the present record will soon b> greatly exceeded The [years will see it go ahead by lana bounds Tractors, more the spread of railway systems the demands of the world for foodstuffs all point to this. Yet Kingston does 'not realize that this incréase should have a great effect on itself Kings- ton is not receiving its fair share ot the grain trade, as a glance at the facts clearly show. The grain crop is sent chiefly to Port Colborne, for re-shipment by lake steamers down the St. Lawrence past * Kingston THéte Bre other ports, such as Mid- land, Tiffin, Depot Harbor and God» erich, which are used for shipment of grain to the east, and the Am- erican ports of Buffalo and Oswego also receive an ever-increasinz share of this trade. Over half of Canada's grain crop is shipped hy way of United States channels The needs of Kingston In regar} 40 this trade are not hard to state. Three things are required. One ls the completion of the Welland Can- al. The second, and most pressing s0 far as this city is concerned is the improvement of Kingston's harbor, and the third is the build- ing here of an elevator ot foe same capacity as that construciéd by the government at Port Dalhousie. We have in Kingston three wooden ele vators. The largest of these ig the ons owned by the MT Company, which, since the company has re- moved its business elsewhere, has been closed. An objection to wood- en elevators is that they are not good enough for present require- ments. Insurance is high and hand- ling of the Frag More vpengive than by modern etevators. Kingston wants action to n the present condition. spending a tremendous money, but it will be money well spent. This cMy is stated by ex- perts to be the logical port, from every standpoint, for the tranship- ment of grain. Instead of Kingston receiving the trade that should come here, ogher places not so well situated naturally, are receiving more than their share of it. At Fort William and Port Arthur th grain is loaded into big lake carriers. Kingston should be, but is not, tho place where it is unloaded. Every port from the Georgian Bay to Proscott receives a share of it Even with our present harbor the big vessels can come: in and unload thelr cargoes into river barges. The blg carriers ean not go to Prescot: without a channel almost all the way from Kingston to that port.
