HAPPENINGS
THE GREAT STORM MADE
THE DISASTERS GREAT
Err THAN EVER.
SEVENTY SHIPS WRECKED AND
ONE HUNDRED AND SIX
TY-ElGHT LIVES LOST.
An Appalling Record.

Seven vessels totally destroyed, 20
more ashore or damaged and IL lives
known 10 have been lost is The rec.
ord to date of lake disasters due to
the big storm. The list of lives lost
will undoubtedly be swelled, as little
hope is entertained for the big steel
trust barge Madeira. with her crew OF
nine men. 1t is about conceded that
the boat foundered off Two Harbors.
Nothing more has been heard of the
e - men comprising the crew OF the
s.ow George Herbert, which sank in
Lake Superior. If the crews of these
two boats perished the number OF
dead would be 25. There is still no
news OF the big steel steamer Ange-
line. which has not been heard from
since she left Ashland before the
storm. There is still strong possi-
oility that she is sheltered some
where, but fear that she is lost Is
growing. Many more vessels are still
overdue, but some Of them are very
likely among fleet sheltered g.
Nhitefish Point. The financial loss IL
reaching enormous proportions, the
steel trust alone losing nearly ST.
100000 on its six wrecked boats.
The story of suffering and death
may never be fully told. The fury "a
The storm, the cold weather, and all is
enough to show that the hardy men
who persisted must have suffered UNI
told agony in their desperate struggle
with the raging elements. 1t is more
than probable that the eleven lives
reported lost are not more than hair

Four more wrecks, a stranding AMI
more missing vessels, are the latect
returns from the big storm which
swept Lakes Superior and Huron the
forepart of last week. The storm has
created general havoc in the STEEL trus-
fleet, having wrecked or disabled ten
trust boats. The wrecking Of the steel
trust steamer Coralin and barge Maia,
and to cap the climax, the stranding
of the fleets crack freighter, the VIII
lam +. Corey, are reported.
One hundred and siXty-eight lives
have been sacrificed over 20 ships
wrecked and a loss of nearly $1,000
600 has been sustained in three big
storms on the great lakes this season.
That this is the most disastrous sea-
son in the history of shipping on the
lakes is beyond doubt. Vessels of all
types, from the mighty modern steel
freighters to the ancient wooden
schooners and old-time steamers, have
been swept from the lakes by the
terrific gales

The rpeeBeele Of Judge Bellinger fu-
fFissssisIy = deaouneing a man accused Of
crime, but who has not been convicted
by jury TO suit the court, as guilty Of
another crime, lacks much Of being fair
or dignifed.
The spectacle Of District Attorney
Heney denouncing the two jurors, and
hauling them over the Goals, and setting
his detectives after them, because they
refuse TO convict, is disgrsceful TO the
government.
The publication in the Portland even
ing newspapers on Saturday, January
IL, 1905, that four more indictments
had been found. and until this day they
have never been made public, was an
outrage in free country, and in many
places would have subjected Mr.. Heney
to discipline.
II is said that the next day the re-
porter who got hold Of the news was
severely reprimanded by Mr.. Heney,
but that does not settle the matter.

terialized.

THE PATH THE CALF MADE.

(By Sam Waiter Foss.)
One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home, as good caivei
should;
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have fed
And, infer, the calf is dead.
aart still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my morad tale.
The trail was taken up next day
ny lone dog that passed that way;
And then wise bell.wether sheep
Pursued the trail per vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bellwethers always do.
And from that day Ter hill and glade
Through those old woods path was
made;
Mad many men wound in and out,
And dodged and turned and bent about
And uttered words OF righteous wrath
because 'twas such crooked path.
1sut still they followed--do not laugh
The FIRST migrations Of that calf,
And through, this winding woodway
staiked
Hananse he wobbled when he walked.
NhiH forest path became a lane,
That bent, aud turned, and turned
again;
This crooked lane became a road.
Where many poor horse with his load
Toiled On beneath tho burning sun,
And tssvsisd some three miles Ia one.
And thus, century aud half
They trod In che footsteps Of that calf
The years passed on In swiftness aeet
The road became "A village street;
And this before they we're aware,
A oity's crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
OF u renowned metropolis
And men two centuries and a half
TrOd in the Footsteps Of that calf.
farh day hundred thousand rout
Followed the EigKag calf about;
And DER his crooked Journey went
The traffic of a continent.
a hundred thousand men we're ted
ny one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way
And lost one hundred years day;
for such reverence IL lent
To we'll establish precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were I ordained and called 10 preach
For men are prone to 70 il blind
Along the calf path of tho mind,
And work away FROM sun to sun
To do wha, other men have done.
They follow Ia the beaten track;
And in aud out aud forth. aud back
Aad stu their devious course pursue,
10 keep the path that others do.
Hut how tho wisc old wood gods laugh
Who saw the first primcyal calf,
An many things this tale might teach,
Hut ! am 40, ordained 20 preach.

X-RAYS

Upon consideration of S. B. 80
ator Pierce made a strong plea fol
| bill. He claimed that the buildipI
of this great country of ours was
due to the operation of insurance
panies, but that the latter are rro,
rich off the people, and that this
is not only benefit to manufactuI
but their employees as well.
The bill, of Graham, of Marion

guards who were killed in the n
Merrill outbreak at the state p
thre years ago, passed the house Il
out a dissenting vote. This same
was put through the house two yl
ago by Hon. Frank Davey, and
been constantly championed by
gentleman ever since.
One of the most genuine peop
so far introduced at this
sion is S. B. 144, by Senator Brow
1t provides for the publication of
session laws in such manner that
the people can have them at all til
At present there are only limi
of the laws printed by
state, and these are absorbed by I'd
ty and local officials, hence it bee,
practically impossible for the com
citizen to get the laws without pay
several dollars for them to a fore
corporation. Since ignorance Of
laws is no protection to an OFFENDED
is certainly important that the PED
of the state should have access to
laws, and this is an attempt to By
about the desired end. 1t provi
that the new laws be published in
newspapers in each county at v
low cost to the state, and thus 8
them general circulation.
