NOTED SINGER TO GIVE
CONCERT ON MAY 30

Mime. Schumann- Henk the noted
singer. has been booked for a concert
at the Kerredge theatcr, Hancock, on
the evening of May So. A. X. Cox Of
Houghton. who is making the arrange
ments for the entertainment. states
that already a good deal of interest is
being taken in the coming event. II
viii be necessary 20 nm the theater 10
meet the expenses OF the engagement
as the singer requires a big guarantee.
A. X. Cox. who is actively interested
in bringing Nine. Schumann Heink
here for concert az the Kerredge
theater May 30. says that a great deal
Of interest is being taken in the i'm
pending musical event and that he is
assured that the attendance az the con-
cert will be large The prima donna
is brought here under an enormous
guarantee and it will require big
attendance to make the venture pay.
Nine. Schumann- Hcink is the most
magnificent and attractive figure i'm the
musical world today Her tempera-
ment is so humorous. so intelligent and
so sympathetic, and her personality
and Individuality are SO magnetically
interesting and compelling. that she
could command fame If she had no
voice at all and simply spoke her lines
monoloEue-w wise. As II is. her voice
is the most tremendous in luscious
splcndor and vibrant melody. with
which daughter OF Eve has ever been
lowered. It is a revelation to the UNI
initiated and 'ncver-failing spring Of
delight to the critic Mime. Schumann-
Heink has a fine figure and has earned
the reputation OF being the most lastly
dressed diva OF the day. When she
appears on the concert stage her smile
IS a joy TO the eye of the beholder.
The peculiar feasibility OF her emo
tons is the prima donna's strongest
point. She never abuses the sorority
OF her voice. In songs. requiring deli
cacy Of treatment her touch is as dain-
~ and as fanciful as the first touch OF
the snowflake on a calm winters eve
ming. And in songs OF immensely her
power Us overwhelming.

new ANCHOR LINE STEAMER
TO BE LAUNCHED SATURDAY
0ctorara, Which Will Be Put on
Portage Lake Route, is a
Fine Craft
SENTIMENT BEHIND ITS NAME
TELEPHONE SOUTH iss

Saturday at Detroit, the launching
OF the new Anchor line steamer Oc-
torara, will take place.
This Is the boat that was contracted
for some time ago. She VIII be put on
the Buffalo Portage Lake and Duluth
run and viii make her first trip 10 the
Head OF the Lakes on the opening of
navigation next spring.
The new boat is modern i'm every re-
spect. ana is much like the othe-
boats owned and operated by the An
Choir line. She will add greatly to the
carrying capacity OF the line.
Sentiment Dis largely behind the
naming of all the Anchor line boats
and the latest boat is no exception to
the general rule.
The Anchor line is operated by the
Pennsylvania railroad and the stock
holders i'm the company at least the
larger number Of them claim Pennsyl-
vania as their native state. In Penn
sylvania there are number of rivers,
and years ago il was decided % call
each boat built after river of Penn
sylvania.
The Tionesta river hardly deserves
To be named at all, it is so small de-
clare men who are acquainted with the
rivers Of that state But one Of the
stockholders was born and raised III
that river and no other name would
do
The Juniata river is quite river.
some one else prominent i'm the COM
pany was reared on its banks and one
OF the boats had to be called after II.
So it has been with all the Anchor
line boats and the rivers are getting
scarce. since the company has grown
and built so many boats.
The boat 10 be launched. the Octo-
rara. is named after river. of course,
and IL is, Of course. located in Penn

RECORD LOGGING SEASON.
More Timber Than Ever Will be Cut
This Winter.

The present winter will be n record
breaker for loggers all over northern
Wisconsin and upper Michigan. ac-
cording TO the statements of several
authorities. Not only will there be
more timber cut for the mills. but more
pulpwood bolts Of all kinds and cedar
products viii be turned out.
The scalers for the several railroads
report that the winter will beat out
last winter in the amount OF timber
brought i'm by rail for the local mills.
The hardwood which is generally cut
during the winter months is already
coming i'm.
The ccdarmen are putting out larger
woods crews than ever because OF the
great activity of the cedar market.
The great activity in railroad work
will call for millions Of ties. and local
cedar men expect 10 get a good share
OF the business during the coming sea
son. The same Improvement has been
noted i'm the telephone and telegraph
pole business. and although. i'm the
opinion OF timber men. the combina-
tion of the telephone and telegraph in
terests may hurt this market during
the coming year still il Is believed that
the demand for the product will be
good. Cedar posts also have a good
market value at present and local
yards have more of the product piled
up than ever before.

MUNCY, WHICH LEFT HERE
SUNDAY, HAS HARD TRIP
Anchor Line Freighter Has Peri
lous Battle With Storm on
Big Lake
REACHES DULUTH ICE LADEN

The story of the men on board the
package freighter Muncy OF the Anchor
line. which arrived at Duluth Monday
night. is a thrilling one. The boat left
Houghton Sunday afternoon and had
an exciting. periIous battle with the
storm which ragged on Lake Superior
during it's trip TO the head of the lakes.
1--WE left Houghton about O'Clock
Sunday afternoon" said Second Mate
j. c. Smith. There was not much
wind at the time. although it was rain
ing and the night promised To be
nasty one We were making good
time when about 10 o'clock i'm the eve
ming the storm. heavy southeastern
with considerable snow. struck us with
full force. l think it was one of the
worst nights that ! ever spent out on
the lake. The steamer was blowing
through the waves which were wash
ing over her decks and the spray going
80 or 40 feet up the spars.
Water Freezes to Ship.
"The water froze as fast as IL struck
anything and it was not long before the
whole ship was covered with ice. A
big wave washed away the big tank,
fastened TO the forward deck. and IL
tore away the bridge leading from the
pilot house 90 the forward deck on
the after deck the davits holding one
Of the life boats worked loose and Il
hung over the side of the ship. We
hauled il in after reaching port. How
it hung on without being washed away
is more than I can tell.
About midnight. when | was about
10 call Wheclsman Mcleod. who was
10 go on duty wave washed over the
deck and broke the windows in Nc
Leod's stateroom, filling it with wa
ter. When ] reached his door he was
just coming out. thoroughly drenched
and believing that the ship was sink
ing"
Asked If at any time the crew feared
for the safety of the boat, he said
why no. she acted beautifully |
through il all The cargo was well
ballasted and there was no danger. or
course i'm storms like that. should any |
thing go wrong with the machinery II |
would mean destruction but we have
q fine boat with the best of machinery
and competent officers and crew."
Looks Like an Iceberg.
The Muncy as she lies at the Omaha !
merchandise docks at Duluth is a YER
liable iceberg says the News Tribune
Officers Of the boat say it would be
hard to estimate the number of tons
of ice that she is carrying. but it will
reach several hundred tons.
The officers Of the Muncy are: Cap
tain, L. Wright; first mate John Nc
Gilvary; second mate. J. c. Smith:
d. n. COPELAND and Murdoch
Mcleod; chief engineer John Forris-
ter; second engineer. Stephen Clergy;
third engineer, Patrick Murphy.
