Remarkable Feat
In Swimming
COlOred Youth Goes Across
Little Traverse Bay.
(From Petoskey News


Raymond Edmunds, a colored youth
employed at the Hotel Howard, swan
across Little Traverse bay Sunday after
noon, feat never before accomplished.
Hundreds watched anxiously from
the beach near the Howard all through
the long afternoon, and many had
powerful field glasses. The wind and
waves bore the young man and the
boat carrying three watchers eastward
during the long strain of three hours
and 20 minutes that elapsed between
the time the swimmer dove from the
Harobr Springs dock at 2:30 and the
time he touched earth 80 rods east of
the Howard at $50, and when the
crowd discovered the probable landing
place there was rush of photograph
ers and other interested persons to see
and congratulate the plucky swimmer.
The water was cool, there was a
strong wind and the bay was furled
in white caps when the start was made.
Horace B. Rose, co-proprietor of the
Howard, and several others went over
to the harbor with Edmunds at 1:30,
and Mr.. Rose advised against making
the attempt at that time. But Edmunds
who on former occasions had tested
himself by going half way across and
beck, insisted on sticking to his deter
mination, and in he went, promptly at
2:3O.
Two rowboats started from the har-
Dor dock with the swimmer, one carry
ing three boys and the other two. An
other Bay View boy dove with him,
swan along to the end of the Point
and then climbed into the boat that
carried two. Both boats kept near
Edmunds until he was half way across,
and then one of them fastened to the
Bay View Shore to report progress to
the eager watchers.
Despite his southern blood Edmunds
withstood the ordeal well. He was
fed bits of chocolate during the long,
tedious and toilsome grind, and began
to cramp just before his foot touched
bottom. But he pluckily held on, and
when he walked to the shore Mr.. Rose
was there to throw a warm bathrobe
about him as soon as the newspaper
men had photographed him. He walk
ed unaided to the hotel, where his

Principal Crops

1910 are not very closely comparable
with those for 1920 since the present
census was taken in January, before
the breeding season had begun, while
the 1910 census was taken in April, or
about the middle of the breeding sea-
son, and included many spring calves,
colts, etc.

take week, officers of the road said
yesterday, During the interval trains

when the track went out.
y section of track aDout l7j feet
long at a point two and a half miles
north of Mount Hermon station was
washed away when surface water that
had accumulated to ucpth of 20 feet
west of the tracks broke through a
blocked culvert.
The track embankment was gouged
out to depth of 60 feet below the
track level and the trestle work in
stalled last year following similar
washout was entirely washed away. The
northbound train due here at 200
reached the scene a few minutes behind
scheduled time. Just after the water had
torn away the track, and was tagged by
watchmen. Had the train been on time
it might have been wrecked.
Relief trains rushed repair material to
the scene last night from Salem, Wor
cester,4 FitGhburg and White River
Junction. Four or five bridge gangs.
as well as two pile drivers, will be set
to work at once building another trestle
