DAMAGED BY SNAGS.
ScOw Has Hole Stove in it and
Sinks With Cargo of Lumber.

Complaint has been made to the
government officials at Houghton
that there are many snags in Port
age river which are menace to
navigation and which, If allowed to
remain there, may result in trouble
to boats. This week a scow load Of
lumber owned by Hebard Il Sons,
OF Pequaming, was sunk in the
river. A hole was stove in the
bow of the scow, which was being
towed by the tug ]. G.. Morse.
The scow filed with water and
went down. Most of the lumber
was lost. The lumber firm claims
that the blame for the accident can
not be laid to any OF their men, but
that it is the result Of so many dead
heads and snags in the river. Some
OF the snags are under water and
not visible.
This is not the first accident that
has happened at Portage river
caused by the snags. Now the
matter has been brought to the at
tention OF the government officials
the snags will be removed at once.
The scow has been raised and re-

"Houghton county is full of men
fitted for congress, and Eve minutes
are all to short time in which to
call their roll; so I will name that
splendid business man and peerless
gentleman, Charles A. Wright"

BIG TREES IN THE U. p.
Some Notable Examples are
Found I'm AIger County.

Found In AIger County.
People who live in Michigan, and
those who dwell in the lower penin-
sula in particular, have come to be-
lieve that one who wants to find big
timber must 90 out of the confines
OF this state. 1t is probable that
even among the residents of this
section few have any idea of the gi-
gantic proportions to which some of
the trees native to the upper penin-
sula attain.
George Forster, Of the Forster
Lumber Company at Munisiug, says
some of his men recently cut cedar
that was four feet in diameter and
"sound as an American dollar" On
the state experimental farm at
Chatham is the stump of gigantic
elm, believed to be. one of the lar
gest of its kind on record. The
stump measures about nine feet
across.
Recently at the state experiment
tai farm, photograph was taken of
a cedar stump out of which eight
cedar trees grew. The smallest of
these trees was nineteen0inches and
the largest thirty-four inches
across.
