while on the way from the Philippines
last March were the charges preferred
against Captain Berry before general
court-martial held at Vancouver Bar

The testimony that leaked out was
that one night on the voyage from Ma
Mia, Mrs. Wade wife OF Lieutenant
Wade, of the artillery corps. rushed on
deck, shrieking for help. Berry was
found in the stateroom in a state of
semi-nudity and the evidence showed
he had forced his way into the room.
Berry was on detached duty as quarter
master in charge of the transport.
General Constant Williams, head of
the Department of Columbia, said:
The general court martial was held
at Vancouver Barracks as matter of
convenience, because most of the wit
nesses were at this post Mrs. Berry
was loyal to her husband throughout
his trial, and after sentence had been
recommended went on to Washington
to plead for clemency from the Presi-
dent While Berry was a cadet at West
Point a rumor was current that he had
negro blood in his veins A commit
tee from the cadet corps made thor

was no truth in the rumor.

no band ever visited our city that so
thoroughly captured our music loving
citizens as the Owosso Band. They
handled some of the heaviest standard
oyertures like professionals and reflect
ed great credit alike on each individual
player, their director and the town they
represent. In addition to their fine
playing they conducted themselves as
perfect gentlemen and should st. Louis
ever need the services of band in the
future they will without doubt secure
the services of the Owosso boys. ST.

the munifcent salaries fixed in the

Lou Dillon VS. Major DeImar.

Lou Dillon 1854, Queen Of trotters,
and Major Delmar 1: 594, who defeated
her for the $4,000 gold championship
cup last fall at Memphis will meet in
match race during the Blue Ribbon
meeting at Detroit, week of July 24-2S.
The prize handsome gold cup will be
given by the Detroit Driving Club to
the winner. G. K. 6. Billings owner
of the only two two-minute trotters in
the world, has advised d. J. Campau,
Pres of the Club, that he will send these
precious bits of horsefesh to Detroit and
give the public an opportunity to decide
which is the best horse. Mr.. Billings
will drive Lou Dillon while Major Del
mar will be driven by the peer of all
reinsman, Mr.. Harry X. Devereaux,
who has so often demonstrated his skill
as clever reinsman.
The public will certainly witness the
greatest performance that ever took
place in Michigan, when this pair of
speed marvels battle for supremacy.
1t would astonish no one familiar with
the speed of both horses should world 8
record result from this race.
Lou Dillon has spent the winter in
the climate of her birth, California,
and has been under the skillful eye of
Americas leading light harness horse
trainer, Budd Doble, maker of champ
ions, who sent her back East recently in
the best condition possible for man to
get her. Doble also remarked that
Queen Lou" was in his opinion the
greatest mare he had eyer handled. a
high compliment when it is recalled
that Doble raced Goldsmith Maid BY
his easy defeat of Lou Dillon last fall,
Major Delmar won many admirers, who
were previous to that solid for Lou.
Alta Mcdonald who has always
handled Major until this year is of the
opinion that no horse standing on iron
today, or ever did, is high class enough
to be compared with the champion
gelding.
Charles (Doc) Tanner who handles
Major these days is authority that he
has more speed this year than ever.
Both horses are fit and ready for the
task of their life. A great race, in fact
the greatest, should be the outcome of
this meeting. Possibly never again will
they meet and to see the only two
minute trotters in the world race
against each other is the occasion of a

Semi Centennial of Saint Mary's
Canal

The semi.centennial celebration of
the opening of Saint Mary's Falls canal
promises to be memorable event in
the history of that waterway. Before
the construction of the locks the copper
deposits on the shores of lake Superior
were reached by but one or two boats
per year, and until 1856 the shipments
of iron amounted to less than three
hundred tons. The mineral deposits in
the upper peninsula was practically
valueless until canal was built, around
the rapids of Saint Mary's river.
The first governor of Michigan,
Stevens T. Mason, pushed the building
of the first canal, and in June, 1853, the
work was started. In twenty two
months from that time canal with two
locks each $50 feet in length, 100 feet in
width, and ID feet in depth. had been
constructed. 1t was the largest canal in
the world, and cost $999.SO2. This work
was much more difficult than it would
be at the present time, being hundreds
of miles from the confines of civiliza-
ton.
In 1881 Saint Marys canal was trans
ferred to the federal authorities, and
the Weitzel lock was constructed by
the United States at cost of 50, $50, OOO
This lock was 1ebuilt under the super
vision of General Poe, and the present
lock made at the approximate cost of
$3,0OO,O00. At the present time there
are three canals at the $500" two be-
longing to the United States and one to
the Canadian government.
The Canadian and American officials
exchange reports daily, and all three
locks are used to accommodate the COM
merce of the lakes without discrimi-
nation and without tolls.
During the year 1904 the number of
passengers passing through the 800"
was $4,000; the amount of freight was
81, 546, 100 tons, with a value of $780,
900, 900; the number of vessels using the
locks was 16, 1870; the greatest amount of
traffic in single day was 2S1, 800 tons
of freight which went through in
ninety nine vessels
The celebration of the fftieth ami
versary of the building of the first
canal is to be held August . and 3.
The first day is to be devoted to sports
of various kinds on the water and on
shore, with display of fire works.
The second day will be devoted to adj
dresses by representatives of the United
States, the Dominion of Canada, and
of state governments, ending with
a reception by the governor of Mich
igan.
