scHLoTT VS.. CITY OF CANTON.

sCHLOTT VS.. CITY OF CANTON.
One of the several cases instituted
against the city in the county court
to be tried at the September session,
is that entered by George w. Schlott
who seeks damages in the sum OF
$500. The plaintiff in this action owns
some property on East TuscaraWas
street, and claims that by the over
flow of Schriver's run last spring 1t
was damaged to the amount asked. He
asserts that the water last spring got
into cellars of number of residences
and destroyed the contents. At anoth-
er time the run overfiowed and food
ed the property to the depth of several
feet. The city. he says, was at fault
because it did not keep the tunnel,
near that place, clear OF rubbish so
the stream could have natural flow.
But the defendant denies his conten-
tions and alleges that he was to
blame.

HERE IS A STORY
or Shipwreck and Suffering That Few
People Have Chance to
Read About.

New York, Oct. 23.-Still bruised
and worn by Sc hours spent on raft
tossed by the mountainous seas that
followed last weeks West Indian hur-
ricane, John Russell, the sole survivor
of the 80 men aboard the house boat
Halfy, destroyed by the storm last
Thursday morning, was landed here
today by the Southern Pacific liner
Ell Paso. Russell's story of suffering
and peril is one of the most thrilling
of the many recorded during the great
storm. For many hours during his
voyage upon the raft, which was real
ly the remnant of the house boat,
Russell was surrounded by man-eat-
ing sharks and except for this immi-
nent peril he would probably have fall
len asleep and been washed into the
sea-
I'VE were all asleep aboard the
house boat on the morning of October
49," he said. this afternoon, when
the storm broke. We were anchored
with a five-hundred pound mud hook
outside one of the keys ana less than
a hundred yards from shore. The
storm broke with terrific fury, the
rain dashing against the superstructure
of the house boat in torrents. We
a great wave came along that washed
us ashore. Before we had time to
leave the house boat the wave return
ed, carrying us out to sea. All but ten
of the 32 men aboard were washed
from the boat and lost in this first
shaking up. A man named Mcbride
and myself were together on the port
side of the deckhouse and the other
eight were on the other side. The
ocean was terribly rough, and sud
denly tremendous comber swept ath-
wart the boat and this proved her TN
doing. l had lashed myself to small
stanchion, but Mcbride had not time
to do so.
board with Mcbride and the other
eight men. The hull of the house
boat buckled up and broke in two,
leaving me adrift on a section of the
deck rs by 80 feet in dimensions"
The raft pitched about and Russell
was bruised and cut, the spikes and
nails protruding from the planks tear
ing his clothes and body. When dawn
broke he discovered that the ocean was
growing still, but about the raft we're
dozen great sharks. To avoid going
overheard and becoming the food of
these, Russell by the exertion of self
will kept himself awake for many
hours. 1t was not until the afternoon
of Friday, the 18th, that the El Paso,
well out of her course to avoid the
wreckage nearer the keys, hove in
view. Captain Knowles, who already
has record for picking up ship
wrecked persons at sea, sighted the
rafe and lay to while boat was low
cred to rescue Russell.
When Ell Paso's sailors reached the
raft, Russell tainted and had to be
carried into the boat. Three days
of rest and treatment by Ell Paso's
surgeon braced him up and except for
contusions and cuts he is now no
worse for his experience. His home is
in Salem county, Florida.

ants assert that the petition of the
plaintiff does not contain sufficient
facts to constitute a cause of action
and they further contend that the Ian
guage complained of is not capable
of bearing the meaning assigned by
the innuendo. McAllister claims the
defendants essayed to injure his busi-

When the people rushed to Califor-
mia in 49, they did so with the idea
OF finding gold, and only gold. AS
Tar as they were concerned the coun-
try had no value except for it's mine
rdl resources. That the real wealth
OF California lay in her agricultural
resources never occurred to them.
Likewise, when the people rushed to
the Red River valley in 70 and later
years, and commenced to break up
the rich virgin soil OF this vast re-
gion, they came with the intention
OF raising wheat, and only wheat
10 their minds the country was good
for nothing else than raising wheat,
and raise wheat they would. In a
few short years thousands of acres
were broken up and seeded to wheat.
While thousands have made success
raising wheat, in spite of careless,
Wasteful and unscientific farming,
and while wheat will remain our
great staple crop for many years yet,
the fact however, is now dawning
upon the farmers that real and lasting
success must be sought in diversified
farming. OF late years the dairy in
dustry has been forging ahead with
giant strides, and will in all proba-
bility eventually become the main
source of wealth. Creameries and
cream shipping stations are being
established by the hundreds through
out the valley, furnishing the far
mers good and steady income the
whole year round. A different meth
cd of farming is slowly but surely
being adopted throughout the valley.
and as a result there will be
greater prosperity among the farming
population Poultry also is coming
in for it's share of attention. The
Red River valley farmer in the future
will not stake his all on the wheat
crop.

The great copper war which for
years has been waged between Heinze
and the Amalgamated has ended by
what is practically merger of the
opposing interests. This fight be-
tween stock gamblers for the control
OF immense properties has for years
divided the people of Montana into
bitter factions, has disorganized pol
1tics, corrupted judges and legisla-
lures and had baneful effect upon
all the people of the state. Now that
the contending forces have made
peace the public will probably be the
more thoroughly feeced.

FLOATING DRY DOCK DEWEY
WITH BATTLESHIP INSIDE.


er is fine and they are not busy look
Ing after the tow lines they can en-
Joy themselves as the mood suggests,
even to a game of baseball on the
floor of the great dock
Three giant naval Golfers, the
Glacier, Brutus and Caesar have been
selected for the task of towing and will
be under command of Capt. Fullam,
u. 5. N. The three Golfers and the
dry dock which will travel about a
mile and a quarter in the rear, will be
connected by wireless telegraphy. The
route to be taken will lead across the
Atlantic by the Madeira islands, then
through the Straits Of Gibraltar and
the Mediterranean sea. The passage of
the Suez canal will be slow and diff
cult. It is expected that the total jour.
ney OF 10000 miles will be made at an
average daily speed of 100 miles, which
will bring the dry dock into Manila
bay about Easter.
THIS floating dry dock which faces
such a venturous trip is 500 feet long,
1S4 feet wide and ~ feet high above

great square tanks 1871 feet deep. In

is allowed to rush in the great trough

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

Wherever dirt roads have to be work
ed and cared for-and that is through
out most Of the rural districts Of the
country at large there may be noted
very marked improvement of methods
as compared with the old way. A more
Intelligent and permanent plan Of OPP
GRAFTON is being followed. The road
boss this year is no longer undoing and
tearing to pieces what his predecessor
did last year, the absolute need of
thorough drainage Of the highway Is
being generally recognized, and the
value of drain tile for this purpose is
being more and more appreciated; there
Is apparent a much more economical
and effective expenditure of the road
FUNDS, and it is really becoming the
custom now to expect and demand a
full days work for days pay-in a
word, the people are taking a much
greater interest in the highways than
ever before and are at last waking up
to the important relation which good
roads bear to the economy of farm
life; the rural mail delivery system is
doing not little to spur the farmers
up. for the government puts the mat
ter to them fat-"no roads, no mall"
Under the new method Of caring for
earth roads it is becoming quite a
common thing to find farmers dragging
and keeping the highways along their
respective farms in fine shape and do
ing 1t all without public pay just for
the pleasure and pride which they take
In having good roads associated with
their farms. This is one Of the most
encouraging signs Of agricultural prog
ress to be observed in the country to-
day.

Just now there seems to be lull
in the land business, but it is only
the lull before the storm. There are
too many good people who realize the
Importance Of securing homes of
their own, or land for their children.
The bountiful crops, the drift from
the city to the country, and the fact
that there never will be any more
lands, will cause better and more
persistent movement than heretofore,
says the Western Farmer and Dairy
man.
