as so bushels and over to the acre, and
t]iey say that this has not been good
year, and very little. if any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful, and if you wish to put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within few miles. Coal can be had at
the mines for Is cents per ton, or you
can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds
of garden truck can be grown in alum

grown in good demand. The farmers
tell us that they can get four and a

and for three-year-ol steers from $50
to $50. per head, providing theyrfare
good. We will move into that part of

= LAKE PILOTS LEG.
Howl Solved; the Mystery; OF the
y Wreck of the Steam Propeller
4. Susan e. Peck.

eve are never amazed when vessels
go aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during* the gales that are com
mon on that treacherous water, for we
expect such things then" said a lake
skipper, "but when one is grounded
on clear day and wrecked, on course
as clear as the day and in the hands of
a. pilot that Knows the ground like a
book, we naturally. wonder little and
want to know the why's and wherefores.
Such. was the case, Of the propeller Su-
san E. Peck, that went aground near
Bar Point and was lost with a $4,000
cargo. .... .
The captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar Point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake to the other
as one of the most expert navigators
in the lake business. He had been ly-
ing up long time for the very good
reason that owing to an accident to
one of his legs that leg had to be ampu-
tated to save his life. The lost mem
Der was replaced by an artificial leg
and then the pilot was ready to take
his post at the wheel again. His first
service after his misfortune was this
trip of the Susan E. Peck, and he ran
her aground.
.''The puzzle to every body was how
it was possible for the propeller,
handled by, a man of such skill and eX-
'perience, on straight course only 40
miles long and with every sailing con-
dition favorable, to- leave her course.
The pilot was the most puzzled and
astounded person Of all. He soon got
another vessel, and this one he ran in
such an erratic manner, but fortunate
ly with no. disastrous result, that he
was compelled to give her up, and his
usefulness as a pilot was gone. He and
others >wenta:to investigating to see if
discover what was wrong
with his sea1nanship. After awhile
they discovered what they believed was
the trouble. In the pilots artificial leg
a great deal of steel had been used in
the joints and other places. Sitting
close to the pinnacle, as he did while
steering, this steel deranged the com
pass so that it threw the wheelman
way off his reckoning and led to the
Wron g plotting that had wrecked the
Susan r. Peck and endangered the
other vessel that the wheelman navi-
gated subsequently,. This was what
they argued, and to demonstrate the
correctness of the theory the pilot took
charge of vessel without wearing his
false leg. Everything worked to a
charm. The mystery Of the Susan E,
Peck, was solved and the pilot was re
stored to his old place in the confidence
