Wreck Raising.

From Chambers Journal
Under the old regime a vessel that went to
the bottom remained there until she was en-
tombed in the shifting mud or sand or else had
undergone process Of gradual dissolution,
FASTENED by the ebb and flow of tides and cur
rents. Wreck raising was then science prac-
tically undreamed of. Some crude operations
were carried on, it is true, at several sunken
wrecks, but the object aimed at was the recov-
cry OF treasure and not the raising to the sur
face of the vessel containing it.
The development of mechanical science and
steam power has placed in the hands of modern
wreck raisers machinery that has enabled them
to lift many fine ship from her oozy bed and
restore her to her proper place among the fioat-
ing argosies of commerce. Most of the vessels
that are raised, after suffering submergence
beneath the waves. are the victims of collisions,
and these, as might naturally be expected, are
most frequent in the crowded waters Of our
own harbors and their approaches. The chief
economic purpose served by wreck raising is
the keeping clear of impediments the fairways
leading to the large seaports. Sensational
wreck raising attracts the attention of the whole
civilized world, especially when the catastrophe
which resulted in the sinking of the vessel was
attended by awful life loss or other sensa-
tional features.

A Dog That Deserves a Medal.

From the London Daily News
In the district of Samland, near Konigsberg.
a dog has just saved the lives of the two chill
dren of landed prof. .etor. A German con-
temporary describes the incident: Two Young
sters-a boy Of ten and girl of eleven years
were playing on the brink of deep piece of
water and, while trying to reach piece of
wood, overbalanced themselves and fell into
the water The dog began to bark, but created
little attention.
The animal then sprang into the stream and
swan to the children. Selling the clothes of
one with his teeth he brought it to the shore,
and plunging again succeeded in bringing the
other likewise. Then Jordan-for so the dog
was ramed-ran to the manor house and
howled. Thinking something arniss the dog
was followed to the scene. The children were
on the shore senseless. When the. regained
consciousness the dog began to lick their faces
and hands, and pranced about with the utmost
delight.
The next day the boy. apparently none the
worse clambered az usual on TO the back of the
faithful Mount st. Bernard. But the dog now
took its youthful rider in an opposite direction
from the water. Jordan is to be rewarded with
"a brand new collar, with the date of the rescue
upon it, and will receive a lifelong
pension from the family for his sagacity.

Is What Macon Gentleman Wants to ES
tablish in Dawson.
Dawson can secure another enterprise
now, if she will show her usual enter
prise and liberality.
IHE NEWS has received letter from a
Macon gentleman who wants to form a
stock company and establish cigar fac
tory here.
Such an enterprise could be started with
small outlay of capital, and would be
valuable addition to Dawson's list of
industries.
Below is an extract from the gentle
tleman letter:
Il am cigar manufacturer, and I
think that factory of that kind would
make some progress in Dawson. Now.
what | want to know is this: do YOU
think that there is chance of forming a
stock company to start a cigar factory in
Dawson? 1t will not require a great
deal of money. $4,000 will start a good
factory and will pay well. If you think
that such company can be formed |
will come down and bring all necessary
references that may be required. as
sure you that l mean business. am
satisfied that such an industry would be
benefit and at the same time a pride to
Dawson"
THE NEWS has written the gentleman
to come to Dawson and look over the
field for himself.
We think that the cigar dealers of the
city would find such an investment prof
liable, and should the Macon gentleman
visit Dawson we trust that they will give
him every encouragement possible.
Dawson needs every industrial enter
prise that she can get.
