LARGE NUMBER DEATHS
ON LAKES LAST. YEAR.

No less than 250 lives were lost on
the great lakes and connecting rivers
during the season OF navigation in
1906 and no less than 229 vessels met
with casualty. These are the figures
reported by the United States wealth
er bureau, copies OF whose meteoro
logical charts just issued for the year
in question have been received. OF
the 229 vessels damaged to agreator
or less extent, ~ were total losses.
The monetary loss for the season
was $2,043, $50, apportioned as
follows: Total losses 1890, $50;
partial losses 1872, 900. The aggre-
gate loss was greater than in any
season of the IL years up to and
including 1906, for which data are
given, except in 1905 when shipping
was DESTROYED in whole or in part to
the amount Of "a, ,655, ,250.
In no other season of the II did
the figures reach 50, 900. 900, although
10 1895 they fell under that sum to
the extent of only :3l ,172.
A comparison of the seasons cas-
ualties shows that the greatest loss
on any of the lakes was $69l 900 on
Superior. Erie followed with 1929 900
Huron ranked next with $4l2 900;
Michigan ranked next.with 1924. 800.
Ontario s record was $34, 900, and on
the connecting rivers losses were
sustained amounting to 1853, 150'
The total loss and damage to vessel
property due to fog was 1868, 400;
and the greatest amount in. apv
month was $217, 900 in June, the
casualties in that month from that
cause were especially numerous on
the 10th, 10Th and 18th. Fogs we're
responsible for the losses OF $161 900
in August and for losses OF SIS, 500
in May. The figures for the other
months follow: September, 500, 500;
November, $52,5OO; July, $50. 900;
April. $25, 600; October, $24, 700;
December, "a 600. According to
further statistics presented in this
connection, Huron was more subject
TO fogs than any OF the others, losses
recorded on that body OF water un-
der that head aggregating 1912, 900,
or almost 30 per cent OF the total for
all the lakes and connecting rivers.
The loss due to the fog on Lake On
tario was only $500; on Superior,
s47,O 900; Erie, $4,000; Michigan,
$99, 800; and on rivers, $l10,b00. The
greatest loss from stress OF weather,
amounting to $417, 100, occurred in
December.

CONVICTION MAN HAS FINE FARM.
Progressive Finn who Few Years Ago
worked In an Iron Mine u Now q
Most Successful Farmer and
Timber, Jobber.

John Hutala, who mas a big farm
ing and logging business at Coving-
ton, visited Ishpeming Monday.
Mr.. Hutala was formerly a resident
OF that city. Heleft there aoout four
teen years ago for Covington, where
he purchased a small tract OF land.
While a resident Of Ishpeming he
worked in the mines at 50 per day.
Mr.. Hutula is now reputed to be
worth considerable money and he
has been increasing his business and
adding to his holdings at a rapid
rate during the past few years, says
the Marquette Journal.
Mr.. Hutula had experience in
farming before he settled at Coving-
ton. He now has one OF the most
attractive places to be found in the
entire upper peninsula and his farm
is equipped with all the latest appll-
ances for economical and rapid work.
He has model house, provided with
every convenience possible at a
place of that kind, and during the
past few years has erected a number
OF comfortable houses for his en-
ployes. He operates saw mill and
he has creamery, blacksmith shop,
wagon shop and other buildings
necessary for the successful opera
tion of his business. A wind mill is
used to raise water for irrigating,
as well as for supplying his home
and the families of his men. The
barn is model structure and is
erected after Mr.. Hutila S own ideas.
1t is said that Mr.. Hutula owns in
the neighborhood OF 10000 acres Of
land near Covington. During the
past year he has disposed of about
] 900 acres to settlers, giving them
the land at a reasonable price, after
be had removed the timber, and al
lowing them ample time in which to
pay for it. He is rapidly building
up colony that will. within a few
years, be OF good size. The tracts
being sold are placed in the hands OF
men who intend to remain there per-
manently and engage in farming.
Mr.. Hutula is at present employing
in the neighborhood of 100 men the
year around on his farm and in the
woods cutting and shipping hard
wood. He sells a greater quantity
of hard wood than any other oper-
ator in this region. He supplies the
Consolidated Fuel 4 Lumber COM
pany with much OF its wood and this
concern has been for some years
past his largest patron.
Mr.. Hutala has about 1900 acres
OF land under cultivation. He raises
all the vegetables necessary for his
own use and for his men and their
families and he usually has much
stuff to place on the markets. He
will need about 900 bushels OF pota
toes for his own use. He buys the
most OF his provisions at wholesale
prices and he is conducting his busi-
ness in a systematic manner. He
has bookkeeper, and he devotes the
most u his time to the wood work,
or his farm, directing the operations.
Mr.. Hutula is continually buying
lands in that section, and during the
past year he purchased from F.
Braastad of this city an s0O-acre
tract close to the town site of Gov.
ington.

AN ANIMAL PLAGUE
ATOMS THE BORDER.
The Attention Of the Agricultural De-
partment Has Been. called to the
SeourQs.

Nogales. Ark, July 16.-(Special
correspondence of The Republican,
one of the greatest epidemics of the
year is now going on among the horses
and cattle of Santa Cruz county. and
the loss is becoming very serious. The
trouble seems to be in some kind of a
plant or weed which the horses eat
and being poisonous the result Is.
many animals are dying. in some
cases over 40 per cent of the ranch
animals died. The matter was called
to the attention of Forest Ranger
Wilson who has informed the Agri-
cultural Department of the epidemic.
and a plant expert, DR.. Marsh of Col
orado has been ordered here for spec
ial work Some of the ranchers fear IL
is the loco weed doing so much dam
age, but others believe it must be
some plant unknown and of deadly
character The result of the investi-
cation viii be watched with much in
terest.
w. C. Bulge formerly trainmaster
OF the Sonora Railway during General
Manager j. G. Naugie's time, has been
promoted to be passenger conductor
on the Nogales-Guaymas train. The
position vacated viii be filled by Col.
Randolph by appointment of some
man from the ranks.
The summer rains have not yet be-
gun in lower Mexico. and travel Is
not as pleasant, The heat is intense
at Guaymas, but where there il plen-
ty of wind the air is cooled off and
the mosquitoes. gnats and other
troublesome insects are not bothering
passengers at all. As soon as the rains
commence no better journey can be
taken than a trip b. day from Phoe-
nix to Nogales and thence on TO
Guaymas.
The business of the customs service
OF Arizona has been record breaking
one for the past quarter. Many i'm
portations Of cattle have been made
and the receipts of the office have
considerably increased. Last year the
district was credited with business
amounting to over $4,000. This year
when the report comes from Washing
ton, il is predicted over 100000 will
have been the receipts OF the year. or
about $4,000 more than the previous
year. Collector McCord has managed
the affairs of the district in a business
like manner and Is to be congratulate
ed on the fine showing of his district
The compensation of the collector
and force of clerks is not commensu-
rate with the large amount Of business
done and the coming congress will
probably advance the salary of the col
lector to what IL should be.

shippers s1.15 per crate. This did not
give one exactly an idea of how much
"a car load of grapes was really worth
in dollars and cents. The car in ques-
ton contained 500 crates. II, was an
express car and the express company
received s6ss for placing the grapes in
Chicago. The commission house then
received from one to two hundred dol
lars for handling and collecting the
money, etc. To pay the growers $1.15
net per crate, therefore. the 500 crates
must have sold for $500 or more.
BY using refrigerated cars consid-
cradle expense can be saved in the
transportation. and if the same rate
can be secured for the grape the ship
pers can get from fifteen to twenty
five cents net additional per crate. The
association is this season experiment.

one which will give the best returns
will be adopted for future service.

More About the Maidstone.

Editor OF The Tiines-Dispatch:
Sir.-After reading your interesting
letter In The Times-Dispatch in re-
gard to madstones, concluded ]
would tell you OF two In this commu-s
nifty. One is owned by Mr.. J, a. Gin
man. Summit Point, This stone has
been in the Fred family for many
generations, and was recently pur-
chased by the present owner for $500.
I heard q true and brave old Confed-
crate q, day or two ago say thnt he
the same day. One used the maidstone
the bite, but the other refused, and on
the nintlr day after being bitten he
began to whine and bark and soon
died. In no case where this stone has
been used has tho one bitten ever
gone mad.
The other stone is owned ny Mr.. w.
E. Tyler, Aide. I do not know Mr..
Tyler, but do know Mr.. Gilman, and
don't think three times what he paid
for his stone would tempt him to part
with It. a letter to either Of these
parties would doubtless bring you an
interesting answer.
Very truly.
