holding a general council in Detroit
and at one of the sessions Prof. Taylor,
OF Fort Wayne, Ind, read paper, en-
titled, Features of Recent Geology
Around Detroit" in which he said that
at one time the present site Of Detroit
was the bottom of a lake, the waters OF
which were 200 feet deep, but that after
time came the great change. known to
biologists as the Cbamplain upliit, which
raised the whole northeastern part OF the
ipent, and tilted the land up IN
that direction so az to make it slope
towards the south and southwest.

opened 4Sl patients have consulted
81 II
charged as cured, 179 are still taking
treatment and rapidly improving, 73 re-

The Tribune OF Iron Mountain states
that Luigi Demattei some four months
ago arrived at that place from Calumet

a pretty widow who was possessed OF a
small bank account; last Friday he Dor
rowed $S5 OF the lady to pay, az he said.
some bills he had contracted IN the town
giving her az security note for $3.50.

some reason the widow grew suspicious
and consulted Sheriff Anderson. who as
certained Luigi had hired rig to be
driven to Norway in order to catch the

tanning money under false pretenses and
he was taken back to answer that
charge.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
Brides of Two Missionaries Made th'
Trip Six Years before Fremont.

In the November Ladies' Home Journal
George Ludington Weed writes of when
Dr. Whitman Added Three Stars to Our
Flag, and shows conclusively that party
of five people, including two women, crossed
the Rocky mountains at South pass in 1876,
six years prior to FremOnts crossing. Con-
corning this interesting historical incident
Mr. Weed writes: 1.-THE first wedding tour
across the continent was in 1896. There were
two couples, Marcus Whitman, NJ D., and
the Rev. H. Fl. Spaulding, and their brides.
They made the journey of thirty-five hun
dred miles, occupying seven months, in d
wagon, the first to cross the continent Dr.
Whitman, having visited the region before,
was guide to the new home in oregon. He
was the first to make known its value to
the United States. South pass is reached"
writes Mr.. Weed of the famous journey,
"the highest plateau, the divide of the con-
tinent. In the pass the traveller reads the
to the Pathfinder but also to the two
heroines who had gone through six years
before his claimed discovery. Let another
inscription read: Mrs Whitman and Mrs
Spaulding. 1896.

valley. Seven thousand acres present the
average bonanza farm. Generally these
tracts are not divided. Yet distances across
fields are SO great that horseback COM
munication is impracticable. Crews Of
workmen living at one end of the farm and
operating it may not see the crews in other
corners from seasons end to seasons end.
And in busy seasons ii is found profitable to
feed the hands in the fields rather than TO
allow them to trudge through the hot sun
to the dining halls for dinner. The dining
halls-it will be explained later-are scat
tered over the farm at convenient points.
They are frequently five or six miles apart.
and many a noon finds the harvesting crew
two miles from it's hall. This Illustration
may give one some sort of a rough &C l.
ception of the bigness of these farms. He-e
IS another point of view Averaging twenty
bushels to the acre-as many farms will
this year-the total number of bushels in a
crop on a bonanza farm would be 10000;
putting 500 bushels of that crop in a freight
car and allowing forty feet to the car, the
train which would haul the crop from the
farm would be two miles long, and If It
were to come charging down Fifth avenue
and Broadway in New York the "rear-end"
brakeman would be craning his neck from
the caboose to catch sight of the Vanderbilt
mansion while the engineer and fireman
were enjoying themselves humping the ca
