The following statement, issued by committee
OF the surviving passengers, given the press on
the arrival of the Carpathia:
we, the undersigned. surviving passengers from
the steamship Titanic in order forestall any sensa-
tona exaggerated statements, deem it our duty to

lfeboat accommodation for approximately o5o in the
following boats: Fourteen large feboats small

AS they came into the street dead silence fell over the
crowd, and even the fashlght battery for moment
ceased its bombardment.
sTRAUs AND WIFE PROBABLY LOST.
Washington Dodge said ''My wife and got into
lfeboat at 1919, and picked up at daybreak.
The lights the Titanic kept burning until she
sank.
In reply to question as to how the men who got
aboard were picked out Mr.. Dodge said: .-.-
"The men were told to stand aside while the women
were put on. But some got Later of the
husbands picked and put into boats with their
wives.
Mrs. lsldor Straus separated from her hus-
band but she would get into the boat without him.
Both are probably lost
passenger on the Carpathia made the following
statement:
Il was awakened at about 2 30 at night bv a
commotion on the decks which seemed unusual but
there was no excitement. As the boat was moving
paid little attention to it and went to sleep again
About o'clock again awakened. l noticed that the
boat had stopped
Il went to the deck The Carpathia had changed
her course Leboats sighted and began to arrive
and soon by one, they drew up to our side There

WOMAN DIES IN LIFEBOAT
Immediately after breakfast divine service was
held IN the saloon. One died in the lifeboat;
three others died after reaching decktheir
bodies were buried in the that afternoon
None of the rescued had any clothing except what they
had on, and a relief committee was formed, and our
passengers contributed enough for their immediate
needs.
When her lifeboats pushed away from the steamer
the steamer was brilliantly lighted the band was play
ing and the captain standing the bridge Civ
ing directions The bow well submerged and the
keel rose high above the water. Suddenly the boat
seemed to break in two The next moment everything
disappeared The survivors were so close to the sink
ing steamer that they feared the feboats would be
drawn into the There were preparations for

The cause of Sections despond-
ency occurred at meeting of the
city council committee on harbors
last night.
Sexton had gone to a great deal
of trouble preparing opinion hold
ing legislative grant of 375 acres
of submerged lands to steel trust
would beIheld invalid in courts.
The harbor committee, being
supposed to be vitality interested
in submerged lands, had asked for
this information.
Sexton attended the meeting
and three separate times tried to
read the opinion, and three sepa-
rate times the committee refused
to hear it.
Why? Well, perhaps the rea-
son was that K. K. Knapp, attor-
ney for the steel trust, also was
at the meeting.
And after the meeting Knapp
expressed himself as perfectly
satisfied that Sections opinion
had not been read.
Naturally If Sections opinion
had been read it would seem to
be the duty of some one to take
that grant question into court and
get it invalidated.

American Apples in Germyny

Vice Consul General William Daw-
son, Jr.. located at Frankfort -on-t the
Main. recently reported as follows re-
gardink the demands for American
apples:
"American apples find high favor
in Frankfort, the best known being
those grown in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, and embracing Bald
wins, Greetings and Kings. Western
apples do not seem To be- so well known
although wnere introduced their repu-
tatiOn is very high.
"Wholesale dealers prefer TO obtain
their supplies of American apples
from importers in Hamburg and
Bremen. Where apples are not care
fully packed for through shipment
they can be re-sorted at port Of ar
rival and repacked for shipment to in
land points, insuring minimum loss
on account of spoiling."

New Paving
Completed
East Jordan Putting on Metrop-
Olitan Airs

East Jordan took long step in
civic advancement last week when
the new paving was completed. For
years efforts have been put forth Uy
our village administration 10 get
paving under way but each time when
success seemed in sight some kink
in the law was unearthed which
threw the whole matter back TO the
starting point.
When our citizens we're granted a
city charter, June 10th. 1911, a num-
OF yexatious problems were done away
with.
The contract for paving the six
blocks with concrete was granted TO
Lee flowland OF tharlevOiX for the
sum OF Sl3.S39 As for certain number
OF square yards. Contractor Rowland
with his crew OF men broke ground in
August. The work OF excavating was
rushed through on time, but cUnsfd-
cradle delay was met with in getting
gravel and cement on the ground
owing 10 car shortage.
The paving on Main street extends
from the north line OF Garfield street
south To State street aud on State
street from the east side Of Third
street west 10 the f. j & S. Il. Il.
track near the draw bridge. On State
street the entire paving is re-inforc ed
with steel aud on the squares Oh Main
street. The paving consists OF five
inch concrete base with two inch
top.
The new pavement is credit tn
our municipality aud 70 Contractor
Huwland.
A parking edge was left along the
side Of the pavement 10 allow easy
access TO our water works system
While there is uOthing definite vet,
there il some talk of doing away with
our present. arc system of lighting
aud using steel columns along the
parking lines.

Fruit Growers Prosperous

Investigations conducted relative TO
the prosperity OF the various classes
or farmers show that fruit growers
lead the list and enjoy the most gen
erons incomes. This is of special in
terest TO the people of Western Michi-
gan, as this region is soon TO be the
most important fruit section on this
continent.
The cencus of the federal govern
ment classics farmers according TO
the source Of their income. Where 4G
per cent or more of a farmers income
is from grain crops he is called "a
grain farmer: II 40 per cent comes
from frnit he is called a fruit farmer,
and SO on. A recent report shows:
Q) That the hOr uturiSts' land is
worth three times as much per acre as
the average value AS all our farm land.
(2) That their income per acre is
more than three times as great AS the
average
(3) That 90 per cent Of them own
the farms they operate.
In some inyesgitatiOnS conducted by
Cornell University, Ithaca. n Y, con-
sideration was given TO five types of
farms, !. e.. general or mixed farm
ing; dairy farming; fruit farming: po-
taLo farming, and truck farming.
Here are some Of the facts disclosed
by the in vestigatlOns.
Q) The fruit farmers have more
money Invested in farm buildings, etc.
than any of. the other types or farm
ers.
(2) The average income of the
fruit farmers under Investigation was
1882 per year. after allowing wages
for every member of the family who
helped in the farm work except the
head Of the family.
(3) Allowing the farm owner inter
est on the money invested in his farm
the Income Of these fruit farmers av-
eraged S2,207 per year. In other
words, this amount was the average
salary received by these farmers in
addition 10 their house rent. supplies
from orchard garden. field etc.
IL is certainly encouraging To reach
the conclusion, which Is forced by the
above enumerated facts, that Western
Michigan is soon To become famous
because Of the prosperity aud influ-
e1ce of its fruit farmers
