prohibiting ship owners from loading
their vessels to the waters edge with
freight. But where this is done as
sumably the spirit of the passenger act
should prevent the addition of the
number of passengers allowed by the

by the law that an overloaded ship
may still add to her excessive cargo
burden the license number of human
beings permitted to be taken on as

THE FACT EXISTS.

THE FACT EXISTS.
vacaville Reporter: The prosperity
Of the farmer is worth more TO the
country than all of the talk Of the
theorists. No sooner does the farmer
find that through the enhanced price
of wheat he is making a little money
than he becomes buyer and sets in
motion the wheels of every factory.
With a living price for wheat the pres
ent year is bound TO be more prosper
Gus than 1896 We do not care who
claims the credit so long as the fact
exists The fact of high wheat and
possibly still higher price paints a
brighter future for America. nor should
we spend too much time talking as to
possibly lower price in the course of a
season or two. Some time past it was
demonstrated that wheat never could
attain to its old range Of value. Read
the market quotations and it will be
seen, as 1t has been seen in times past.

Eagle Harbor is the peer of any place
in the Upper Peninsula as camping
ground, having the advantage OF being
withing driving distance Of the metfop-
oils OF copperdom, the only drawback
having been the difficulty OF family
procuring a place to live in cheaply. OF
course, the Rice Hotel afforded good ac-
commodations, but few people could
afford to take their whole family then for a
longer stay than few days, to overcome
this difficulty Foley & Smith have fitted
up some of the unoccupied houses, so
all that is necessary is for the campers to
take their own bedding, sheets, etc., and
which houses they will let at very mod

look at present that the annual reunion
OF the Upper Peninsula societies OF the
A. o. L. W. will be held here this summer.
1t was to have been held at Ironwood at

Red Jacket can have the reunion If it
wants it and a meeting OF the local lodge
will be held Thursday evening to con-

tain that the local lodge will avail them
selves OF this opportunity of entertaining

OF the Recent Hancock and Laur-
ium Tournaments 20 Compete.
There has been more wrestling talk
about town since the tournament last
Friday and Saturday than little and the
talk at present is three cornered tour,
nament to take place at Laurium one
week from next Saturday. 1t is proposed
TO put up 500 purse for a contest be-
tween Rowett and Dwyer, $50 for a
match between Williams, who won first
money at Laurium, and Gilbert, who
was the victor at the Hancock tourna-
ment, and $40 between Ziehr and Johns,
the winners OF second money at the tour
naments,
These contests will be for the two out
OF three falls and the rules TO govern will
be the same as at the Laurium tourna-
ment. That Is, bridging, cross-collar or
cross-bar will not be allowed. 1t is pro-
bable that the matches will go through,
provided Rowett's leg improves suti-
again. There contests will be the best
OF their kind and will draw a large at
tendance.
Most OF the Calumet people who went
to Hancock Sunday seem to agree that
Dwyer threw Gilbert before he was
thrown himself AID that Dwyer was
used unfairly. The remarkable work
George Swinton put up against Dryer is
also commented on great deal. SWIM
ton had done no training and had not
been inside OF ring for several years,
but it took Dryer over an hour to put
him on his back and he had to try over
dozen bitches.
The claim that Gilbert is making az
champion OF Montana seems TO be with
slight foundation. for Jones threw him
several times last winter at Butte and
Rowett threw both of them. Jones left
here about two years ago and is known
to be an excellent man in the ring. A
well-known Red Jacket gentleman says
he has $500 TO put up on Rowett against
any man in the State and would be par
tcularly glad to have Gilbert take it up.
The gentleman does not care to have his
name mentioned at present.
1t is probable that a match will be ar
ragged between viii Fisher and Tim Har-
rngton soon, 1t took Fisher about one
minute To throw his opponent at the
LauIium tournament, but Harrington is
known to be first-elass man and claims
to have been taken unawares.
