To Farm on Copper Lands.

A party of Houghton capitalists
have under consideration the estab-
lishment at a point on the Copper
Range railroad south of Honghton Of
a 600-acre experimental farm. The
lands have already been secured, but
are at present heavily timbered.
Steps will be tken during the COM
ing winter to cut the timber. and
early next spring the stumps will be
removed and the land made ready for
cultivation. 1t is hardly probable that
crops will be planted before 1913, bu.
the enterprise when established will
prove one of the biggest from an agri-
cultural standpoint nthe copper coun-

NAVY 70 SHOW STRENGTH.
Mobilization OF Fleets In the Atlantic
and Pacific.


Washington.-It is believed here
that great naval maneuvers and mobili-
cation to be held in the Atlantic and
Pacific next month are the result of
the strained situation in Europe and
the unrest apparent throughout the
world
The uncertainty of the situation in
Europe with the vague possibility of
developments that might involve any
of the nations through some unexpect-
ed event is fully realized by the gov
eminent at Washington. While all
Europe is torn with war and rumors
Of war, Uncle Sam has decided to
make quiet display of the fact that
he has not been idle.
Whether there is any more definite
reason for the notifications at New
York and Los Angeles of the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets could not be learn
ed, but the impression is strong that
the plan was adopted merely for it's
moral effect on the international situa-
ton.
Secretary Meyer is still uncertain as
to the exact plan of mobilization. 1t
will take place early in November, and
with the President reviewing the
ships at New York the occasion is ex-
pected to be made so notable that it
will be matter of news throughout
the world.

obeying the international rules of war
fare. Italy has released all the Turk
ish steamers which were seized in
Italian harbors until war was declar-
ed or arriving soon afterward, the
commanders not having learned of the
beginning of hostilities Turkey, on
the contrary, has hoisted the Ottoman
flag over the Italian steamers Ernesto,
Ilardi and Meloria, which were seiz-
ed along the coast, and remaining
them with Turkish sailors, is using
them for it's own purposes. 1t is about
to do the same with smaller Italian
craft captured in the Aegean Sea-
Italy will protest on the ground that
this action is in violation of the con-
vention signed at the close of the
Crimean War.

and the coast of Bombah Gulf Thus
is revealed the plan of the Italian cam
paign in Northern Africa. The object
was to insure above ali else the occu-
patton of Cyrenica, which is the rich

cordingly a great naval display was
made before Tripoli to deceive the
Turks while Rear Admiral Aubrey,

Forts--No Shots i4K
the Ships.

Rome. FaravelIi has sent
a message to the government, stating
that the bombardment Of the main
batteries at Tripoli commenced at 8
o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
continued until sunset.
Admiral Aubrey reports that in
bombarding Tripoli he spared all the
consulates, hospitals, churches, mon
asteries and converts, aiming only at
the Notifications. Discrimination was
made with relative ease, as the range
of the Turkish cannon was so short
that the ships were enabled to ap-
proach the city closely and SO take
accurate aim.
The bombardment was protracted
because Of this extreme care to avoid
useless bloodshed and to respect the
homes of non-combatants and the
mosques, Moreover, the firing was at
long intervals, as Admiral Aubrey and
Vice Admiral Faravelli expected at
any moment to see the white flag run
~ indicating desire to surrender.
Scarcely any of the population re-
mains in Tripoli, the city having been
abandoned Immediately when the
bombardment began.
In cautioning the feet commanders
to limit their action to silencing the
batteries and compelling the Turkish
garrison to surrender or evacuate, the
Ministry of Marine told the officers to
remember that the provinces were
about to pass under Italian control,
and the more damage done the greater
would be the expense of repair later.
A message from Admiral Thaon di
Revel says that the action appeared
more like shooting competition than
a bombardment. officers and sailors
placed wagers on the results. In one
instance an order was given to dis
mantle particular battery. One gun
ner was heard to say: II bet can

dam GIVES WAY
TOWN FLOODED
Black River Falls Is Swept
by Floods.
CAUSED BY HEAVY RAINS
A Number OF Business Houses and
Dwellings Destroyed--A Three
Story Hotel the First
Structure To Go.

Lacrosse, Wis.-The situation at
Black River Falls, a town of 1000 in
habitants, which was swept by a flood,
when the waters of the Black River,
swollen by recent rains, washed
through the embankment Of the La
crosse Water Power Company dams at
Hatfield, is worse by far than was
even feared when the flood swept upon
the town.
Half of the business section has
been destroyed together with a part
of the residence district, and it is
said by the townspeopie who have
taken refuge on high land unable to
make an effort for the protection OF
their stores and homes, that the town
will be wiped out. Whether or not
lives have been lost is not yet GER
tain.
Thus far two persons have not been
accounted for.
The Destruction Total.
The buildings have been not merely
flooded, but destroyed. The water,
flowing in tremendous volume, under
mined one building after another, and
as each collapsed the debris for the
most part was carried away. The
fremont Hotel. a three-story struc-
ture. was the first to go. No precau-
tions could be taken to stop the
wrecking of the town, the residents
finding it a difficult problem to save
themselves, their families and more
valuable possessions.
None of the stocks in the store was
saved and little of the heavier furni-
ture in the h,nses, the people, al
though they know of the overfiowing
of the Hatfield lam, showing little
fear of its effects until the waters
burst on them.
The disaster was caused by the
sudden rise of the Black River behind
the two dams from the Lacrosse
Water Power Company following rains
which lasted almost week. The dam
withstood the pressure, but in each
case the river washed around the
side, taking out big section of the
river bank and coming down on the
country below it almost as great vol
ume as though the dams had been
swept away.
Farmers Taken Unaware.
Besides the damage at Black River
Falls, great tract of surrounding
country was overrun. Effort was
made to warn farmers, but the tele-
phone wires were the first to go down,
and the fate of many settlers, who
knew nothing of the food until it
struck their localities, is the cause of
some apprehension.
