the vessel 70 pay for It's removal. The
rusty condition OF the steel hull.
which is described as little better than
shell OF rust. has convinced the
authorities that the guns and other
equipment that II was thought might
be found available have been ruined.
The hull Is so eaten with rust that
it is now doubtful whether ii will
be possible TO float 1t away as pro-
posed. Pumps are now being put in
readiness with which to throw power
ful streams of water on the wreck to
remove the tons of sticky mud that
cover the vessel to a depth of FIVE feet
in places.
No critical examination OF the Yes

Miss Enos is visiting in Newport

BIG IDEA BEHIND THE SAGINAW INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION

The exposition which Is to be held
In Sasinw this year, from September
~ to 80, Ne fourth one, by the way,
which thsUambitious city has offered,
II more than q mere display. 1t has
. larger idea behind IL than the mere
exhibition OF products or raw ma
terials, or frivilous entertainment
The industrial exposition this year
10 built on q broader base, has
more definite purpose and conscious
aim. The selfish may call 1t utilitar-
Ian, the wise will see in 1t a benefi-
cent proposition. There is a mighty
object lesson behind 1t. There is un-
derstanding and progression woven
into the fabric of the exposition.
Compared to other expositions it Is
radically different in both scope and
character Any city can put up
display, invite the world of jobbing
Interests to assist and make a large
volume. But when the lights are
turned into the big sign on the front
of the Auditorium where the exposi-
ton Is to be held it will announce to
the world this truth, 1.-THE goods dis
played here are made in Saginaw and
used everywhere" And 1t will be alb
solutely true. Every article on dis
play in the huge building will be the
product of Saginaw's factories. This
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-09-22

In itself Is no mean accomplishment
when one considers the great capacity
of the building and reflects that only
city of wonderfully diversified in
dustries could make such boast and
make it good with a great variety of
products In which there is little IL
any duplication. The exhibit is truly
representative in character.
But it is more than that. Statistics
show that Saginaw has added to her
manufacturing resources, assets and
capital during the past decade nearly
three hundred per cent, that it is a
progressive community of widely d.
vergent manufactures. The reports
show that, there has been no CONNER
cial stagnation In Saginaw, even
when panic afflicted other parts of
the country. The reason is believed
to lie In great measure with the diver.
SIZED industries, together with a uni
form cooperation and a consistent
plan Of development. To gather to-
gether these threads and lead them to

be shown in concrete form, where re-
suits tangible and visible could be
presented to the world; where correct
