Kail idea on lakes.
TRACK SYSTEM FOR BOATS
IB HAS BEEN PROPOSED.
||Bt* Will Avoid Colli»lon«—Present Routes
JLtb Fraught With the Greatest Danger
to Trafllo—Captain Dunham’s Plan Hns
Been Approved—How to Enforce Rale.
l|i| Double tracks for lake boats are pro-
by lake men. There is a stretch
SKf water in Lake Huron that fully de-
the title of ” graveyard of the
Hyregtt lakes. '*
A This locality lies between the lower
l«Bntrance to the straits of Mackinac and
(Bklpena. It is the chosen and most di
|Kect route for fully 90 per cent of the
jy commerce of the great lakes. The pe-
Hrculiar trend of the shore and the routes
■ on which the boats sail bring a fleet of
of steamers and vessels into
narrow lane along the Michigan shore
■Lat is hardly four miles wide. In clear
Haither and during starlit nights nias
an<® lookouts Are especially vigi
|g||Hl in these crowded waters. In dark,
; y, weather, when the smokestack of
ggjaßßaaimer u lost to view by the man on
bridge, it is a region fraught with
much peril and such constant danger
collision that, all things considered,
■ the number of accidents is not shocking
fl Jy'large, but surprisingly small.
■ Che most important of the plans now
fl proposed is the introduction of the dou
fl fele track' idea in railroading into lake
fl navigation. The aim is to have a don
fl ble track course for up bound boats and
■ down bound boats along the west shore
■ of Lake Huron from Port Huron north-
■ ward to Presque isle, just above Alpena.
■ Nowhere in the world is there more
I | commerce in open water in so restricted
a road as that where the vast traffic of
Lake Superior joins the mighty flood of
■commerce from Lake Michigan, and
■there are transported 200,000,000 bush
■els of grain, 11,000,000 tons of iron ore
■and 3.000,000 tons of coal, besides suf
ficient lumber to build a city every
■year and merchandise of incalculable
value.
All this commerce is converged where
•the course from Lake Michigan joins
•that from Lake Superior. A fleet of not
less than 100 boats every 24 hours comes
'together at that point, and every 24
Ihours another fleet of 100 vessels passes
rup. All the way down Lake Huron to
fc ’the entrance of St. Clair river collisions
■have been frequent since boats began to
sapil the lakes. The region seems to be
■peculiarly subject to fogs, and all pro
-cautions prescribed by the government
■ and carried out by captains have been
•futile in preventing' the disasters which
have made the Lake Huron course a
mightmare to captains and a menace to
vessel owners. For every collision there
■ have been 100 narrow escapes.
•With the steady increase in the size
■of • vessels and the speed at which they
.are run the dangers are constantly in
creasing. When it is realized that the
•tonnage of new boats on .the great lakes
.last year exceeded that of all the rest of
'the United States put together and that
-every new ship must go over this peril
tons course -50 or 60 times every season,
■the need of some means of lessening its
perils has become imperative.
.Captain J. S. Dunham has long had
’the theory that if two courses were laid
tout on Lake Huron the liability to col
lision would be reduced to a minimum.
• He has explained his ideas to other ma
rine men and to the underwriters, and
’they have given a most cordial sanction
to the change he proposes.
’ One course would be for all up bound
■boats in leaving St. Clair river at Port
| Huron to keep out in the lake until they
I were from Bto 12 miles outside the
-•bourse they now follow. They would
maintain this course all the way to
Presque isle. When bound for Lake Su
perior, they would continue the same
-distance to the eastward, finally return-
■ ing to the old course at Detour. When
bound for Lake Michigan, they would
■cross over above Presque isle and come
back to the old course there. All boats
bound down would keep close to the
.shore, following the present course.
Vessels from Lake Superior bound down
would cross the courses of Lake Michi
,-gan boats bound up. Thus only at one
point the entire length of Lake Huron
would boats running in opposite direc
tions meet. As soon as that point was
passed captains would be certain that,
however thick the fog, they were safe,
for no boats would be coming in the op
spbsite direction. All they would have
•to look after would be boats bound the
same way, and it would be an.easymat
■ter to avoid them. The to hav
ing two courses—that 50’,,./time might
die lost on the up trip by boats keeping
,'Out in Lake Huron—is met by the state
ment that while a litt'e time might be
lost in pleasant weather, yet the gain of
being free to run at a fair speed not
withstanding foggy weather would far
i more than overcome the loss. This is
not taking into account the great in
-crease in safety Down bound boats
would not lose any time either from
Luke Michigan or Lake Superior. They
would keep along the course they have
always followed, free to run, with noth
ing ahead of them. To make the two
■courses effective vessels must keep on
them in,.all weather, for with the. fickle-

ness of the Lake Huron fog there is I
never any telling when the surface of |
the water will give forth a cloud.
The means of compelling captains to
follow the two courses is not altogether
clear, but it is thought the government
inspectors of steam vessels can reach
some method by which rules of naviga
tion will provide for two courses over
this dangerous waterway. Congressional
action would first be required, and per
haps an international agreement with
Canada.
“The time seems to have come for
some action in this matter," said Cap
tain Dunham in discussing the double
track theory. “Providing separate i
courses for up and down bound boats
would appear to be the most simple way
to arrange the matter. There is practi
cally no danger at all of one fast steam
er running over a slower one bound on
the same course, for the difference in
speed would not be more than four or
five miles an hour in extreme cases, and
by fog signals each boat would become
aware of the location of the other in
time to avoid a collision. These two
courses should be used in all sorts of
weather, fair as well as foul. By rtm
tllflg over the courses in fair weather
captains Would become accustomed to
them, as they are flow accustomed to the
old ones. They would learn the running
time of their boats in various conditions
of weather on each course, and naviga
tion in a fog would mean less anxiety
to them than it does now. The addition
of a few hours on the up passage, on ac
count of running out into the lake,
would be more than paid for by the ad
ditional safety under this ruling. What
the double track has done for railroads
it would also accomplish for this dan
gerous route on Lake Huron. ”—Chica

G. A. Schilling’s Narrow Escape From
Death Near Lordsburg.
G. A. Schilling of Chicago, who is
now mining at Gold Hill, 12 miles
northeast of Lordsburg, N. M., had a
narrow escape from death A few days
ago he left Speed’s ranch, seven miles
from the camp of Gold Hill, to-walk
home. He saw a mountain which he
thought was the one overlooking the
camp and climbed it. When he looked
down on the other side, he could not
see the camp and knew he was lost. He
kept on traveling till dark, and then
made a fire and slept by it The next
morning he started again, in the hope
of bringing up at the railroad track,
which he could follow into Lordsburg.
About noon he reached a ranch build
ing, but found it deserted and no water
there. That afternoon he found a prick
ly pear bush with some unripe fruit.
He ate of the pears and again started
for the railroad track. In about three
hours he came to the same bush again.
He took the rest of the pears and again
started south for the railroad track.
Night came on, and he toad to camp
again with nothing to eat and nothing
to drink. The nextjttgrniug he got over
the range of mountains that-had sepa
rated him from the railroad trpck and
saw a train in the distance. He was
fully 20 miles from the track, but
bravely started for it, reaching there in
the afternoon. No train came along and
he started to walk into Lordsburg. Aft
er walking about four miles and being
deceived by a mirage he concluded to
wait till ’ night. Several hours later a
man and woman drove along in a wag
on. They gave him food and water and
brought him into town. —Chicago Rec

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5,000,000 little
glands in the human stomach. These
glinds pour out the digestive juices
which dissolve or digest the food. Indi
gestion is want of juice, w.akness of
glands, need of help to restore the
health of these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural, be
cause it supplies the, materials needed
by the glands to prepare the digestive
juices. Because it strengthens and invig
orates the glands and the stomach, until
they are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indiges
tion certainly and permrnentiy. It does
by natural means, and therein lies the
secret of its wonderful and unvaried
success.

THE ROME TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1897
I TO AID GENERAL BLANCO. ’
New Secretary General of Cuba Has Lived
Long In Philadelphia.
Dr. Jose Congosto, the new secretary
general of Cuba, has been for the last i
12 years the representative of the Span
ish government in Philadelphia, acting
most of the time as consul in that city.
He will be the highest civil officer on the
island and has been selected as a man
peculiarly fitted to help General Blanco
save the colony to Spain by new tactics.
As consul Dr. Congosto has been par
ticularly active in frustrating filibuster
■ ing expeditions, and it has been largely
DR. JOSE CONGOSTO.
through his efforts and energy that the
United States government has been
forced to spend something like $2,000,-
000 in earnest but generally fruitless at
tempts to prevent the sending of arms
and supplies to the pubans from our
ports. Minister de Lome is credited
with having “managed to keep the state
department at Washington excited all
the time,” but he could never have
done it without the aid of Dr. Congos
to, who, according to the Cuban junta,
seems to have eyes and ears in all places.
Dr. Congosto was born in Madrid, but
was educated in Paris with the late
king of Spain, Alfonso HI, at the fa
mous college named after the militant
St. Stanislaus. Afterward he went to
the University of Madrid for seven
years, going to England for the finish
ing touches to his military education.
After some service in the foreign office
at Madrid he was sent as vice consul to
Portland, Me., where he remained four
years. Later ho served as consul at vari
ous French ports, and then was sent to
Philadelphia.
In spite of his activity against fili
busters Dr. Congosto has become quite '
popular in this country. Though his
long American residence has somewhat
modified his personal appearance he
still looks the pure Castilian. One inci
dent which happened during his stay
in Philadelphia illustrates his true
Spanish gallantry. To oblige a lady of
his acquaintance who had been severely
burned he allowed a number of strips
of skin to be taken from his person and
transplanted by the grafting process.
