1000 PERISH WHEN
BOAT Goes down
Big Lake Steamer With $500 People
Aboard CapsiZcs In
Chicago River.

Hundreds Of persons were
drowned Saturday when the
steamer Eastland, crowded with
300 employees OF the Western
Electric Company, capsized in the
Chicago River.
The crowding Of passengers to
one side Of the boat popularity is
supposed to have caused the
tragedy, but authorities, not sat
isfied with that explanation Or
dered the arrest of the boats Of
ficers. Captain Harry Petersen
and Dell Fisher, first mate, were
taken to police headquarters.
Women and children by the
hundreds were caught below
decks, and the scratched faces,
torn clothing, and bruised bodies
of the dead bore evidence of the
desperation with which they
fought for life
The steamer turned over in less
than five minutes. Members of
the crew shouted warnings as the
steamer first titled and endeavor
ed to drive the passengers to the
upper side of the deck, but the
incline already Vas too steep.
Slowly the great steel hull
turned bottom up, pouring its
passengers into the river.
About 1000 tickets had been
distributed for the excursion an0
five steamers chartered by the
company. The Eastland was
first to receive its quota and wher
its chartered capacity was reached

land disaster in which approXi-
mately 1000 Of 24OS excursIoniSt
lost their lives.
Examination of the crew was
continued with a view OF learning
if all regulations were complied
with. Efforts also were made to
ascertain whether the vessel was
properly constructed.
Divers reported to Coroner
Hoffman that they believed there
were about 200 bodies still in the
hull, many Of which cannot be
taken out until the vessel is raised.
Arrangements were completed
for raising the steamer and dy-
namiting the river bed to release
bodies that may have been stuck
in the mud.
At noon Coroner Huffman re-
ported that $40 bodies had been
recovered. Coroner Huffman be-
lieves the total will reach 100.
The Investigations undertaken
by the Federal, state, county and
city officials are being steadily
pushed in an effort to fix respon-

Possibilities of Dairy Farm

farming if my farm is located
five or ten miles away from town
or a railroad station? This is a
question which many a farmer
who lives out several miles in the
country has asked himself, and
in this section at least, he will
usually decide, without getting
authoritative information on the
subject, that he cannot.
He is mistaken. Success
awaits him if he has energy and
will first learn how.
The feeding proposition is the
first to con ider. He should
have a Silp large enough to fur
nish winter feed for herd of the
size he expects to have. He
should produce his own hays,
and also have a proper rotation
of pasture crops in addition to
the grains. These are all things
which can easily be produced
here in the south and at less ex
pense than in any other section
of the country. This little mat
ter of expense is very important
as the amount Of profit to be de-
rived from any line of manufac
turing is measured by the cost
| of production" The dairy
farmer is a manufacturers
producer-and all costs should
be closely watched at all times.
Mr.. Dairy Farmer has provd.
ed for all feed req uirements and
is now ready to purchase the
herd. He is progressive man
and knows that it will be to his
interest to buy high grade stock
and as good producers as he can
obtain. He is located several
miles from town and knows that
the expense OF hauling sweet
milk will be too great, therefore,
he decides to market his butter
instead. He selects a breed Of
COWS frCp which he can secure
the greatest amount OF butte
fat. He builds the necessary
milk house and either secures
his water from an arteSlan We
or by the use of a small gasoline
| engine and pump. This same
