BONANZA IN TREE STUMPS.
New Industry In U. T.. Has q
BOundless Area.

Securing timber for use in ship
building on the Atlantic coast is a
comparatively new industry in the
Lake Superior region. The business
was introduced by an Auburn, Me-.
man, who furnishes shipyards with
braces for wooden vessels, and for
whom 4. C. Edgerly, Of Manistique,
acts in the capacity Of inspector and
buyer, and it is increasing with each
year, as timber OF the proper sort
becomes more scarce in the eastern
states.
1--WE do not bother with the mast
and regular long construction tim
bers, said Mr.. Edgerly in an inter-
view, discussing the industry, "We
devote our attention to getting out
corner braces, and for this purpose
it is necessary to use the roots OF
trees, the main trunk, aside from a
ioov or two at the QUIT, not being
called into use at ell. Tamarack is
the best suited for the purpose, aad
as the stumps are as suited as the
trees themselves, provided the roots
are intact, we have in the Lake Su.
perior district practically an unlim-
tied field. All we have to do is to
follow the tracks OF railroad tie
cutters and use what they leave. The
stump, or a portion Of it. is taken
from the ground and the crooked
piece is then hswed into shape, later
being hauled to the railroad and
shipped to Auborn, where it goes
through planning mill, and is made
ready for market.
Each vessel uses from 400 to
600 OF these braces, which are nee
essarily rather high in price, because
OF the work Of getting them out and
because OF high freight rates. They
cost US about 1926 to $3.50 per load
The freight rate to Maine ranges
from $1l0 to $40 car, depending
upon the location OF the supply
None OF the product is used on the
lakes, whore few, II any wooden yes
sells are now being built. Here th,
ships are all Of steel construction
In the north Atlantic shipyards
however, considerable number O
wooden schooners are constructet
every year. Most OF them are fou
to five-masted schooners, measuring
$50 feet long and drawing from
26 to 20 feet OF water. "-Superio

FATAL FISHING TRIP,
John Olson, Aged Sixteen Years
Drowned In the Sturgeon
River Sunday.

Sunday last, John Olson, aged l6
years, SON of Edward Olson, who
resides on farm nine miles north
west of Baraga, went fishing on the
Sturgeon river, and as result lost
his life.
Young Olson, accompanied by a
man, whose name was not learned,
was in a boat, when in some manner
the boat capsized, and both men were
d umpe into the water. The cur
rent at that particular point is very
strong, and the water is said to be
about twenty feet deep. Though
both we're good swimmers, young
Olson was drowned. The water Is
very cold, aud it is thought he was
taken with cramps. After a despe
rate struggle his companion, how
ever, succeeded in getting ashore
but was nearly exhausted.
A number of men worked faithfully
up to Thursday evening, but have
been unable to recover the body
There is sand bar near the poin

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The most sensational headliner seen at the Jacques this season has full
 Nelson on the hOnors of the bill which is fighting the deadly Christmas pres ent counter in the department stores this week. It is an act on revolving ladder which for thrills has Theodore Kremer's melo-dramatic nerve tonics looking like a bunch of tracts for the Polynesans, and 1t is offered by two gentlemen. DeImore and Lee to Wit, who take so many chances with their necks and limbs that the New fork Mutunl Life Insurance lottery would never give them a 10-cent policy. lt is a great act, cleanly presented, without the semblance of fake, and 1t makes you sit tight to the chair and hang on to the arms from start to finish. Such, airy trifies do these careless youths execute as hanging to the rungs of a rapidly spinning ladder twenty feet in the air by the toes of one foot, and few more acrobatic eccentricities that are calculated to make thirty-third neurasthenic out of a perfnN of cop per bound nerves. If you want to zee a performance that is the acme of ath- letic daring watch the efforts of Messrs Delmore and Lee. You won't forget it soon. The rest of the bill Is up to the standard. although after last weeks record breaker It may not ap- pear to be.

 Bernhardts art defies comparison with that of any other woman on the stage today. She Eliminates even the greatest and most difficult of roles. She rises superior to the play and the playwright. By sheer magnetism she causes all attention to center on her self. on her personality It is Bern hardt the people watch, not necessarily the character she may happen to DOT tray.
 Bernhardt is more that great ac- tress. She is an international institu- tion.
 Recently at the Lyric the actress made the jump from her repertory of today back to the repertory of her earli- est triumphs. She played Camille" and the result justified tie boldness of her confidence. She triumphed again in the deafening applause, but more in the breathless silence that watched the death scene. made fascinating once again in all it's morbidity.
 Her triumph began in the third act. Then came the scenes of the wealth of happiness enjoyed by Camille and Armand, the beautiful joy of the springtime of life and love. The years fell away from the actress like discarded cloak In every intonation, every phrase. the voice was the caress- ing. loving, turing golden voice of old; in every movement. every attitude. she was the. young woman given body and soul to the man of her adoration. and the illusion of youth remained.

KERRY cow

Did you ever stop to think what 1t means to bring out new star par ticularly should said star come to you out of the rank and file, destitute of a year or two of preparatory booming and make ready, as itwere, for the field? It's case of chance, even should your favored one possess the combined talent of every great artist under the canopy of heaven, the pub lie don't know it, and the contrary thing is that they are hard to make believe. No matter what you say in your fattering wrte-ups or how gaudy and attractive your printing on Che billboards may be-, they have got to see with their own eyes. Then they are convinced-for or against you. It is one of these trying ordeals that we are experiencing this season with our new star Allen Doone," said George Kenney, who was in town the other day promoting the coming of Mir Doone to Polls Thursday evening in ''The Kerry Cow" We know that he is all right, else we should not have willingly subjected ourselves to a financial loss. We saw in this clev- CT young man all the requirements that go to make an exceptional artist. We had picked him out for promotion from among his vaudeville brothers, but had not anticipated foiSting him to the front for two years hence; how ever. We have no lame excuse to offer in so doing. for Mir Doone has already assured us of his financial worth many times over. You are aware of course that my partner and have for many years looked after the welfare of that eminent comedian, Joseph Murphy. and still continue to engineer his limited seasons which he is con tented to play. It was through his courtesy we obtained the rights to 'The Kerry Cow in territory that he did not utilize. It was case of quick action. It was impossible to locate q man who could creditably fill Mir Mur- phys boots outside of Mir Doone-he was the man. With the deals closed llp we. set about having the play ad
 iusted to his personality. introduced therein beautiful collection of new songs written expressly for the play by Mir Doonc. which he artistically renders in his charming tenor voice at each performance, and has gone so far toward making him such a prime fla vorite in every community that he has visited. There seems little in the way, say inside of couple of years of so, of his shining as prominently in the realms of stardom as any of the great artists that you can name who are now appearing in legitimate Irish drama. We simply ask the public to take kindly to Mir Doone. We feel that e is worthy of their liberal pat rnnage and are more than confident that he will delight them far beyond their expectations. It has been our highest aim to give him the advan- tages of an excellent supporting com pany, equal in every particular to MT Murphy. The mounting and staging of the play have been carefully looked after in every detail, and on the whole are confident that. we offer an attrdc- tion that appeals to all admirers or inc drama and worthy of the patron age of the best of theater-goers."

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Claiming that because it reached a too exclusive and highly educated class of people to appeal to the general run of ad- vertisers and as a consequence has be- come a. loss to its proprietors, the Ma tional Daily Review of Chicago will either suspend publication indefinitely or be sold. Mrs. Hamilton Durley of Des Moines, la. formerly managing eitor, has returned to her home in that city after a futile at tempt to make the paper a success. Mrs. Durley had endeavored to publish d pa per which was to avoid any sensational features and embrace only such topics as would be educational and refined in com position. Despite the fact that failure has attended her effort she expressed her self yesterday as confident that in time such a publication would secure the en- dorsement of the public and find way to a large percentage of people.
 She will seek funds from various sources to resume the same work later, and re- tains her belief she will not have much difficulty in eventually producing jour- nal that will conform to her ideas and vet serve the advertising public proht- ably.

STRANGE LAKE
Has Arisen in Nebraskan Barren Lands
 and Flooded Country.

Bartlett (Neb) Cor. New York Herald.
 A lake twenty miles long and from three to five miles wide has suddenly sprung into existence in the sand hills of central Nebraska Where six months ago there were wastes of mud is now a .ody of wcter 10 to 50 feet deep and constantly rising. The overflow has found an outlet and started down the valley toward the Missouri river, form ing A stream the length of no one can imagine.
 It has been known for years that al most the whole of the central, if not l..e entire western, part of the state had an underflow of water, draining down from the Rocky mountains. Cat. tie kings have used it by sinking what are known as flowing" wells. These are distinguished from artesian wells, which must be sunk to great depth. The flowing" water is found at a depth of SO to 80 feet.
 This is supposed to be the origin of the newly created lake. The phenome- non was first noticed in June by a man who was surprised one day in passing a depression in his land to find it filled with several feet of water. Still. he did not give it much thought
 But day by day the volume of water grow. The sand hills are on the east ern slope of the Rocky mountains, at nn elevation of about 2000 feet above the sea level. The hills are ridges and mounds of sand 25 to 100 feet above the surrounding country.

AMBERGR|S FOUND ON CAPE ANN SHORE Precious Substance Picked Up
 by Six Searchers HOLDlNG 1T FOR PROFITS Visions of Wealth Loom Up Before the Eyes of Many People as the
 Result of These
 Finds.
HOLDING 1T FOR PROFITS

Cloucester. Mass-Is Cape Ann strewn with ambergris? This Is the question that is agitating young and old Tn thls city. and visions of untold wealth have loomed up in the eyes of many.
 Julius Wenneberg, Nels Engstrom, Jo- senh Rice Henry O. Nelson, Henry D. corliss and John Harris have in their nossession quantities of the substance which they guard with care unul they are able to dispose of 1t. They nave sent samples to various parts of the courty' and say that offers of $50 to Slo a pound have been received. but they do not pur- nose to relinquish their hold until they have obtained all the profits possible
 Mir Corliss who is a mining promoter, w..le walking along Pavilion beach few weeks ago, picked up a piece of soapy Crayish looking matter. The odor rom the substance was not pleasant, and, ap- plying a match to it, he found that IL burned like celluloid. MT. Nelson, who was with MT. Corliss pronounced the sub stance ambergris. When they showed their find to friends they were laughed at.
 But they were not discouraged by this ridieule and enlisted the sympathieS of four others Every day for weeks they have explored the shores or cape Ann from one end to the other, visiting the beaches and picking up now and then scraps of the same substance, which, m many cases looks like dynamite. Care fully treasured were these finds, each man taking what he found. Now each has two to four pounds of the "ambergris," and they are still keeping up the search
 MT Rice, ono of the party, has been over every strip of beach from Manchester to Rockport, and has found much of the .'ambergris" MT. Rice says if the sub- stance had been formed by seaweed it would not burn
 MT. Wenneberg took a piece of the stuff about the size of an egg to Boston and showed it to Theodore Metcalf, an au- thority on ambergris. He says that MT Metcalf offered him S300 for the small piece, but that he declined to part with il for less than $500.
 dead whale was cast upon these shores last year, and it is supposed that the ambergris has come from that, as il is produced by the spermaceti whale, be ing a morbid secretion in the intestinal canal. But if it came from this whale the wonder is that it is found all ovel the cape instead of on the beach nearest where it was cast up.
