schooner Towcd In Apparently Abandoned
After Collision.

Waterlogged and abandoned, the three
masted schooner Annie r Lewis was found
six miles northeast Of the Sandy Hook
lightship early yesterday morning by the
steam pilot boat New York and was towed
to the anchorage of Stapleton, S. l..
The schooner's starboard side amidships
was stove in and her mainmast was cracked,
She was loaded with lumber. As her yawl
was missing it was supposed that the crew
had got away and perhaps had been taken
aboard by the vessel which hit the schooner.
They took the compass, however. The
sohoone was at anchor.
A tramp steamboat was seen in the fog
of Sandy Hook on Sunday, not far from
the place where the schooner was picked
up yesterday.
The Annie r. Lewis was built in Bucks
port, Me-, in 1873 and was commanded by
Capt. Hodgson. She is III tons and has
engaged in the lumber trade between New
York and Virginia ports.
The value OF the cargo now on board Ia
estimated at $50 200. The vessel was worth
about SIC, 900.

PRICE FIVE CENTS

this valley will be the raising of
pork for the local market. 1t has
been demonstrated that this can
be done with profit. q. FL. Bark
hurst, of Brush creek, recently
sent 500 pounds of fresh, home
grown pork to the store of Baker,
Bremen & McAnally and received
IL cents per pound for the same.
The pork was of such a fine quail
ty hat Mr.. Barkhurst has been
besieged by those who were fortu-
nate enough to get some of the
meat to know when they can get
more like it. 1t is not a difficult
matter to raise pork for market.
With a grinder of small dimen-
sions, by which wheat, barley, etc,
can be ground up and cooked for
feeding, the best quality of pork
can be produced at an almost
nominal cost by our ranchman.
Every farmer, or stock-raiser,
who rasies grain, could make the
raising and fattening of a few
hogs a very profitable adjunct to
his farm or ranch work. When a
man a get II cents a pound for
meat that costs no more to raise
than the care of hogs, he will find
it very profitable to give this mat
ter his careful attention.
