After battling all night with the
waves, a small boat containing eleven
persons, including four women passen-
gers from the wrecked steamer Sevona,
landed on the desolate shore of Lake SUI
perior, far from human habitation, last
Friday, and The occupants, though worn
with their long struggle and weak from
exposure. Irsmped to the nearest farm
house to tina shelter. Another small
boat, with FIVE persons on board, has not
been heard from, and it is not thought
possible it could have weathered the
gale. The Sevona, which was bound
from Allouez to Erie with a cargo OF ore,
ran aground in the darkness on York Isl
and, far out in the lake. In rev
moments the vessel broke in two, the at
ter end sinking in deep water. The two
boats were at once put off, carrying all
the pass angers and those OF the crew
there was room for, leaving the others to
their fate. The women who were saved
were Miss Jones and Mrs. 5. f. Spencer
of Erie, Mrs. Cluckey of West Bay City
and Mrs. William Phillips. After those

house messenger with a team was
sent to Bayfield, to report the wreck,

went out from Bayfield, with rescuing
party, returned and reported that moth
ing was seen of the men left on the
boat when the two yawls were lowered.

RELIGION ROUTED BY RUM.
Bishop Potter's Subway Tavern Gives
Way Before Real Saloon.


The Subway tavern, in New York,
which was opened eleven months ago
with an address by Bishop Potter and
the singing of the doxology, has closed
its doors as a 'sanctihed saloon" Its
proprietor, it is stated, will sign over
the place to man who has conducted
the restaurant on the premises. The
new owner will take out the old sign and,
after extensive alterations, will run the
place as an ordinary saloon. Employees
in the tavern explained that there had
not been sufficient income from sales to
pay running expenses. Instead OF the
well-known citizens who established the
tavern drawing a per cent dividend, as
they expected, it was said that in the
last six months they had been compelled
so often to go down into their pockets to
make good deficit that they had become
tired and wished to be rid of the tavern
entirely. When the tavern was opened 1t
was announced that only pure liquors
would be sold. One room wss fitted up
with "A soda fountain, where women
might be served with beer. The outer
walls of the building were painted with
texts Of scripture and highly colored
signs, but, in the words of one of the
bartenders, it was found that rum and
religion would not mix"

HARVEST SHOWS FARM WEALTH
Railroad People Give Figures IIlus-
trating \nfinIlts Grain Prn,luo4in

Railroad People Give figures Ir1us.
trating Nations Grain Production.
The American farmer is an exceeding.
~ prosperous individual, according TO
railroad stat.sticians, who have figured
out that the grain traffic for this crop
year viii aggregate 100000 carloads.
If all this grain could be marketed sim
ultaneously and hauled in a single solid
train of freight ears the train would be
1881 miles long. exclusive of the loco
motives that would be necessary to
move it.
Dividing this into trains of forty cars
each, there would be required 1880 To-
comotives or 300 miles of draught ma
chinery. Adding this $50 miles to the
1881 miles of ears. there is total of
12.2S6 miles.
To hold the cars and engines it would
require nearly every foot, of four tracks
extending from New York to San Fran
cisco. The necessary single track would
measure half the circumference of the
globe.
These figures do not fully tell of the
vastness of the wealth which the Ameri-
can farmer has taken from his land in
corn oats, wheat. barley and rye in the
year 1905 The railroad mems estimates
are confined to the grain which will be
moved TO market centers on the steam
roads. Probably not over one-third of
the grain produced will ever see a freight
car. The other two-thirds will be haul
ed to local mills in wagons or will be
consumed by live stock on the farms. To
hold the entire corn crop alone would
call for a train and engines 81 900 miles
in length.
In this story of agricultural treasure
lies the reason for the unparalleled prep
arations of the western railroads for
traffic this season. If the farmer were
not already wen supplied with ready
money and were forced to rush his grain
to market, as he has done in past years,
it is reasonable to suppose the railroads
would be utterly swamped with grain
traffic.
The statisticians estimate the wheat
and oats crops of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas at 326,000,000 bushels, of which
190,000,000 bushels will be marketed on
steam roads. They place the total yield
of corn at 1856 100000 bushels, and ex
pect that 7S6.000,000 bushels will be
hauled on freight trains greater or less
distances. Granting that these figures
are correct, there will be $4,000 carloads
of wheat and oats from the three States
mentioned, or 1925 trains of forty cars
each, The estimate for corn is 100000
carloads, or $4,000 trainloads of forty
cars each. On top of this there proba-
bly, will be 1900 carloads of fiaXseed to
be hauled from the Northwest.
To haul the 100000 cars estimated
for all kinds of grain, there would mean
a movement of a hundred trains of forty
cars each for every day of the year.
