The schooner Lumberman, which
owned by Capt. Tom Hanson, who is wei
known IN this city, and V Mashek OF ke

sail. When he came out from Racine he
saw the masts Of schooner sticking out

man being waved, at once changed his
course, and got his yawl boat ready so
that it could be dropped the instant the
steamer stopped. Mate Egan took charge
of the yawl and just as the bell on the
steamer was ringing for supper the be-
numbed men were taken from their peril
Gus position on the masts.
The schooner Isolda Book was the first
to come down the river from winter
quarters. She made her initial trip of
the season to Manistee this week.
There seems to be some feeling on the
part OF vesselmen against the growing
business Of rafting on the lakes. 4 board
of army engineers have been appointed
to investigate the subject of rafting.
Vesselmen demand that the size of the
RATS be reduced. Lumbermen do not
accept this view, and committees from
both sides have presented their views to
the board.
Early on Friday morning a tidal wave
moved along the western shore of Lake
Michigan. It entered the Chicago river
to hight of feet and did considerable
damage to the shipping, especially to
grain laden vessels. Its strength grew
less further 10 the north and while it was
quite strong in Racine, in Milwaukee it
was not much more than perceptible. It
did not manifest itself at all at this place.
