SIDE LIGHTS
ON MICHIGAN
THE FIERCE STORM ON THE
LAKES CAUSED GREAT
LOSS OF LIFE.
GHOULS ROB DEAD MAN
Gale Averaged Sixty Miles an Hour,
Leaving a Wake Of Death and Disas-
ter That AppaIIs.

A terrific gale. averaging 60 miles
an hour, swept the lakes Wednesday
afternoon and evening and continued
Thursday morning. Five are known
TO be dead. six men are believed TO
have been lost from a launch off Mus
kegon, while the barge ID. X. Clint OF
Detroit is missing in Lake Erie with
a crew OF eight, six of whom are De-
troiters. Efforts TO find the Clint
Thursday were unavailing, but the
owner, J.. O. Teagan. of Detroit, has
not given up i.ope and believes the
vessel will ride the gale safely. The
storm was characterized by the un-
usually high velocity of the wind.
Six men were drowned in the sink
ing OF the barge Resolution in Lake
Erie and seven others in the sinking
of the barge Athens off Sandusky.
Reports from all over the lakes
show that the storm is leaving a wake
of wrecks, disabled vessels, drownings
and has done much damage TO shore
property.
The gale created havoc in the De
troit river, wrecking an old schooner,
capsizing scow and causing many
other marine mishaps. 1t lowered the
water at the Lime Kiln crossing and
at Bar Point and four big freighters
are aground at the latter place.
OF the new breakwater at the en-
trance to Holland harbor four men
were swept into the lake and drowned.
A report from Menominee says that
the storm was as bad as the great one
of last fall.
The Anchor line steamer Cone
maugh went on at Point Pelee today
and the crew of % men were rescued
by the Point Pelee life-saving crew
and taken to the life-saving station.

Willy BEET GROWERS.

Michigan beet sugar manufacturers
are at their wits end to discover some
tactful and inoffensive method of head
ing off dishonest beet raisers, who are
beating the factories out Of much
money every day. The method must
be tactful. for most of the factories
will have hard Job to get all the
acreage they need, and drastic meas
ures would drive numerous beet rails
ers out Of business.
The manufacturers do not say that
all beet raisers, or any considerable
per cent are dishonest; but they do say
that the problem created by the
crooked ones is large enough to both
err
II is the custom at all factories TO
take a sample of bushel or a half
bushel of beets from each wagonload
which arrives, and from the per cent
OF sugar and of tare shown by the test
of this quantity the price for the whole
wagonload is determined. 1t is asserted
tory by keeping a quantity of very
well cleaned beets about their feo..
and when the basket is put upon their
load il is these beets, with little II any
tare upon them, that go into II.
A more clever way of trimming up
the purchaser is to dry quantity OF
beets artificially This leaves as much
sugar as ever. but cuts down the
weight, because of the absence of mois-
ture, SO that the farmer gets a much
higher rating than that to which lie Is
entitled. OF course. not all the beets
which go into the test basket are
dried, but a good share Of them are,
making a difference of from so cents
TO So a ton.

Wool Market.

tin will say tomorrow of the wool narket:
There Is more business being transacted
and a irTner feeling pervades the entire

great measure to the satisfactory opening
of goods in New York some days ago.
Manufacturers are now reaching a point
where they can foresee their requirements
and consequently their buyers are becom-

SHEEP-The sheep market was in good,
healthy condition. Under the influence OF
a very active demand and moderate re-
ceipts the trade opened as soon as the
stun was ready to be shown and was
sufficiently active to clean up everything
desirable in very few minutes. The prices
paid looked strong as compared with yes
terday. AS high as $40 was paid for
lambs from the Wyoming University Ex-
pertinent farm. Mexican wethers and year
!ings brought S5.S as against 1915 two days
ago for the same stuff Another string Of
western ewes such as have been bringing
s. and as high as $50 yesterday sold al IS. 20
today, but they were of somewhat better
quality. small bunch or yearlings sold
up TO IS.
II will be understood from this that the
market at this point is in very satisfac-
tory condition compared to the way
sheep and lambs are selling in the general
markets of the country. However, 1t would
be well for shippers to bear in mind the
warning that has been given in these coll
umns almost every day since the present
break began, and that is to use good judy
ment in making shipments and keep the
stun coming gradually. There is no ques-
ton but what big glut would spoil ali the
improvement that has taken place in the
market.
