CAPT. E. FRANCKE CENSURED
LOSS OF THE DAKOTA DUE TO
CARELESS NAVIGATION.
Blamed for Hastily Abandoning the
Vessel and Not Taking Steps
to Protect the Cargo.

In an official communication to Capt
Emil Francke. who was commander OF
the ill-fated steamship Dakota, wrecked
on Kfukone reef, coast Of Japan. March
last, George Chler. supervising inspect
or general Of the steamboat inspection
service severely censures him on account
Of the loss of the snip. The local board
OF steamboat inspectors at Seattle had
investigated the wreck OF the Dakota,
and the evidence taken reelected on
Capt. Francke. The captain appealed to
Supervising Inspector General Uhler
Mr.. Uhler; after having analysed thor
oughly the evidence adduced at the hear
ing says in his letter to Capt Fruncke:
Il am forced to the conclusion that
the stranding of the vessel and ner sub
sequent total loss was due entire to
your careless and Indifferent navigation.
as an hour before the disaster you as
sumed charge of the watch and took the
bridge and directed the navigation of the
ship yourself"
Mr.. Uhler points out that the eN idence
indicated that the desire to make time
was the paramount idea OF the ships
commander. and that precautions for the
safety OF the vessel and its people were
thrown TO the winds" Mr.. Uhler adds.
1t is evident from the testimony ad-
duced at the investigation that I large
portion of the ship remained above wa
ter many days and yet within Two hours
from the time the ship struck she was
totally abandoned, not a single man be-
ing left aboard to protect her. and the
ship left a prey to those who looted her
without restraint and without meeting a
protest from any one"
Mr.. Chler points out that much of the
valuable property on the ship might have
been saved, as the weather was Lne. but
the whole sacrificed to whoever
might care to board her"
Mr.. Uhler says that no man who is
guilty of such carelessness is Immediate
ly fit for another command" and he says
that after January l. 1908, the captain
may be licensed as a chief mate OF ocean
steamers. and after having served two
years as chief mate he may be again IL
censed as a master Of ocean steamers.

Growth Like a Mushroom.

The extraordinary growth of Duluth is
commerce. London has been loading ships
and receiving cargoes since the middle
ages. Liverpool. Hamburg, Antwerp,
Hongkong, Marseilles, are all ports of an
Client and historic renown. but Duluth has
sprung up like a mushroom, and where
81 900, 900 tons of freight were handled in
1906. less than 100000. tons were
shipped sixteen years ago. The increase Of
the business transacted in Duluth harbor
has been 924 per cent during the last f1f-
teen years, and although Duluth was prac-
tically obscure a few years ago, and the
object OF ridicule. last year it handled one
sixth of the combined tonnage of all the
80 shipping ports on the coast OF the
United States. Duluth ships more wheat.
and more pig iron than any other port In
the world. and her prospects for the future
are as brilliant as her record in the past,
simply because the wealth Is here. No one
can deprive Duluth of the benefit Of these
vast stores of iron ore, which nature has
hidden in the low ranges OF hills that sur
round the head Of Lake Superior 1t can
not be stolen; 1t cannot be hidden; 1t cam
not be deprived Of Its value. And while
crops may fail. while droughts and floods
may occasionally reduce the volume of the
haryests, the soil of Minnesota and Da-
kota contains unlimited nourishment for
its share of wealth annually as long as
human beings may be found to cultivate It,
Nor is this merely an iron and wheat
country. There are other resources which
are not usually discussed in connection
with this great northwest.

DULUTH Mimi. September Is. 1907.
Duluth claims to be the greatest ship
ping port in the world. greater than Lon
don, Liverpool. New York. The total
freight handled by water during the year
1905 at Duluth, Superior and the SUPPORT of
Two Harbors, which is included within the
Duluth district. was 3I.376.213 tons. while
the total tonnage of London for 1905 has
been given me as Bats 15S: Liverpool, "a
;G5,5l9: Hongkong. %, So. GIG; Hamburg
20. 1920 and Antwerp 1863 .G66.
The tonnage of New York for 1905 was
30, 4062; that of Chicago was 1i.T4U LOO.
These figures are given me by the best
authorities in Duluth. and l have no doubt
they are accurate. 1t should be said, how
ever. that the so or IS per cent of the
freight handled at Duluth Is raw material,
iron ore, wheat. and coal which is car
ried in vast quantities by large fleet of
vessels
The value of the freight shipped from and
received at Duluth last year was more than
$3.50. 100000. and every ounce of 1t was a
contribution to the wealth of the world
the product of the soil of Minnesota the
and the other new northwestern
states Every time bushel Of wheat Is
harvested: every time one of the big SCOOP
shoyels dips into the ore beds of the
Mesaba iron range, mankind Is so much

is added to the store of this country

Mrs. Gundler is a great lover of
birds, and was delighted when
several pairs of young 6nches set
up housekeeping in her vines.
She kept crumbs scattered about
and did all that one who feels kin

do to make all the housekeeping
ventures a success.
Fearing the effect of the bliz
zard upon her pets. she went out
the other morning TO see how
they were. She found three of
the nests entirely deserted and
the eggs covered with snow. In
the other nest she saw a pa
thetic sight which brought the
tears to her eyes.
The pair occupying this nest
had built early and had already
hatched their young. The mother

Low Price Reaction.

"Konsider the postage stamp,
my son; its usefulness konsitts IN
its ability to stick to one thing
until it gets there"-Josh Billings.
Most advertising failures are
due to the fact that the adver-
tisers don't stick to it until they
"get there" They get off before
they arrive. A gutter loses all
he puts in. and by quitting in
jures his reputation. Withdraw
ing from advertising is virtually
curtailment and retrenchment,
and that indicates to the public
lack of capital and push.
The fact that the most success
full merchants are liberal adver-
tisers is evident that advertising
pays, and this is generally be-
lieved by the public. The only
excuse for not advertising is lack
of capital or progressiveness.

Boy Won Out.

Before President Angel, of the

college was recommended to his
consideration.
Try the boy out, professor;
criticise him and tell US both what
you think" the parent said.
To facilitate acquaintance the
professor took the boy for walk.
After ten minutes silence the
youth ventured: This is a pleas
ant walk, professor"
Yes"
For another ten minutes the
matuculate boiled to his bones
and then blurted out that he
thought they might have rain.
Yes" And this time the pro-
fessor went on: Young man, we
have been walking together for
half an hour, and you have said
nothing which was not common
place and stupid"
True" answered the boy, his
wrath passing his modesty, land
you end orsed every word | said"
Then they laughingly shook
hands, and word went home from
the professor that the boy was all
right and that they were great
friends.-Detroit Trib une.
