The steel steamer Douglas Hough-
ton, the largest ship on the lakes, lies
sunk across the channel of st. Mary's
river at the Sailors Encampment, and
effectually blocks the passage of all
Lake Superior commerce. The Hough-
ton was bound down from Lake Super
Tor. towing the big steel schooner
Fritz. Both were deeply loaded with
iron ore, and when in the narrow pas
sage at the Encampment where the
current runs swiftly, the wheel chains
of the steamer parted, and she swung
around. grounding her bow on the
banks. The current swung the stern
across the channel, and the Fritz,
with all the impetus of 1000 tons of
iron ore and 1908 tons of ship, struck
the Houghton on the side, cutting
through the steel plates like tin can.
The steamer sank to the bottom at
once, in such a position that the deep
channel is completely blocked.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly crop bulletin OF the
Michigan weather bureau saws that
during the early days of the week light
scattering showers occurred in IN st of
the counties of the lower peninsula.
In the southeast section, especially
Genessee and Lapeer counties, these
showers were heavy enough to relieve
the drought, but generally the rainfall
has been insufficient in most of the
principal agricultural counties. Corn,
late beans. late potatoes, sugar beets,
buck wheat and pastures are suffering.
Corn cutting has been quite general in
most sections, this work being no doubt
fastened at least two or three weeks
by Che drou,h. The yield of corn, both

than expected four weeks ago. The
dry, hot weather has blasted consider

last. The court declares on the ques-
ton by majority of five votes to two,
