STORMS ONJHE LAKES.
Great Loss of Life—Need of  Reg-
illations as to Seaworthiness
of Ships.
The closing days of the present sea-'
son of fresh water navigation tell of an
unusualnumber of tragedies. There
have been two great storms within recent days, November 22nd and 29th, in
which a large number of human beings found a watery grave. Fatalities
have occured on Lakes Huron,
Superior and Erie while on Lake Michigan it was not any too enjoyable to
ride on the storm tossed boats. Ye
editor was on the boat leaving Ludington for Milwaukee last Friday
night, due at its destination Saturday morning at six o'clock but did hot
reach there till one in the afternoon.
He now knows from actual experience
that the joys of sea-sickness'axe just
as real on LakeMichigan, lying on one's
back in his bunk and sliding from the
head to the foot of it and vice versa,
with each roll of the boat, as they are
on the rolling billows of the broad Atlantic or on the choppy tossings of the
English Channel from Southampton
to Havre.
Many deeds of bravery are -recorded
in some of the well nigh miraculous
■ escapes of the crews of the unfortunate vessels, particularly is this true
in the saving of tne crew-of the
steamer, Charles Hebard, wrecked on
Lake Superior. These wrecks are reported: Bannockburn in Lake Superior with a crew Of twenty; Celtic,
Lake Huron with a crew of eight;. Aloha, Lake Superior, crew of six saved;
Steamer Hebard, Lake Superior, crew
of twelve, all saved; Quito, Lake Erie,
crew of fourteen all saved; Celia Hill
grounded on Jackson Point", Green
Bay, but reached port though damaged; Steamer D. F. Rose and three
. barges were groundedon LakeJSrie islands Saturday night but ho lives were
lost. Doubtlesss some of those reported lost will "yet be found, but at
least the loss of life .and property is
very great. ,
To stand on the high cliff of some
rock bound coast and watch the
Wrecking of some'barque driven on
the merciless rocks is indeed appalling. The waves and the breakers'
dash over the ill fated ship. The crew
cling to the parts of the vessel as the
\7aves break on the unfortunates and
the rocks close at hand, perchance,
with thundering force. Cold numbs
the body. The grasp of the hand fails.
Meanwhile a life* saving crew appear
on the cliff. A rocket is shot far out'
but it falls short. The crowd, gathered on the cliff, watch in hopeless agony. Neither man nor boat can live
in the raging surf between the boat
and the jagged rocks. The unfortunate
sailors grow weaker and one by one
are washed overboard and when the
tide recedes a body or two may be
found on the forlorn beach while nothing but the bare hull of the barbue remains. It is thrilling beyond compare
to see some sailing vessel caught by a
sudden storm, held by her anchor
from being dashed to pieces on the
rocks close at hand, when a life-boat
comes out from a neighboring quay
and takes off the crew, as the assembled hundreds on the cliffs give forth
their spontaneous cheer.
But our sailor citizens need protection. Some of the owners of old
vessels permit the old hulls, incapable
of standing the strain of a great storm,
to go forth to the chances of late navigation, for the sake Of high rates.
Owners and sailors take one chance
more. Thus the fatalities^ But there
must be a national regulation, a system of inspection for the shipping of
the great lakes. We need a PlimsolJ
who shall do for our vessels what he
did for English merchant marine, secure a regulation making it impossible
for selfish ship-owners to send their
old hulls out to sea to be lost (no matter as to the men on board) and thus
reap as much insurance as possible.
The law must intervene ."for the sake
of the citizen sailor."
The Hunters and Their Game.
The huriting season just, closed has
been a particularly active one. No
accidents' are reported in Clare and
northern Isabella counties tboiigh a
large numbet of birds have been
slaughtered aud many have been the
hunting visitors from various parts
of .the state. But just over the line
in Gladwin county Miss'Minnie Fouch
was badly, wounded about the face and
head, by a charge ot small shot from
the/ gun of some unknown hunter.
She.was taken to Grace hospital, Detroit, and has already sufficiently recovered to De-taken to the home of W.
W Steele there. She will, not lose the
sight bf either eye.   John' McCormick
of Gladwin was accidently shot near
Dollarville in the upper peninsula
while hunting deer. Bert Ensign's (a
fellow hunter) shot at a deer reached
the unfortunate man who. was in a
direct line on the other side of a
thicket beyond the deer, Mr. McCormick was a pioneer of Gladwin
county and served assheriff and supervisor.
A number of Clareites journeyed to
distant parts in search of game.
David Dawson, Joseph Adams, David
McPhall and S. A. Gleason .betook
themselves to Kalkaska county and
secured four bears and a deer, not to
mention members of tbe winged-tribe.
A. R. Cantield, George Dawson and
Charles Stone hied themselves away
to Houghton lake and gathered in a
good quantity of partridge and quail,
a number were stolen from them.
Dr, F. O. Sanford and son, Bert, W. J.
Hutchinson, John Hodkinson and L
Eberhardt drove to the south part of
Montmorency county and returned
last Saturday with fifteen deei. Bert
Sanford had the experience ot shooting his first deer *when only fourteen
years old. He was alone at the time
and brought down a fine animal as it
was quietly grazing only a* few rods
away.
Large numbers of birds have been
shot in the county. The best record
of wbich we have learned was that of
Charles • Scranton who started out on
foot one morningat.eight o'clock and
returned just, after noon with twenty-'
ope quails and five partridges.
A Farm in the Vicinity of Glare
.3uits,:HJniiBette*r than one iii
New York.
About a year ago W. ,R. Keith sold
his flue farm one mile, east of DoVer
to Clarence Flora, and bought a farm
in »NeW York state. Recently he
wrote, Feed -Hudson of Colonville,
stating that he,proposes to return to
Michigan nexespring and*would like
to settle»in tho vicinity of Clare; • He
says, "Mymain object Jn returning to
Clare is to give my boys a better
chance to get an education. Country
schools hereare way behind the Michigan country schools. I shall either
sell or rent my falrm here and move
back,in the spring if nothing, happens
to prevent. I .am. not.as well suited
tea I expected to he. Things are different bereyto- what* they were when I
left thirty-two years ago."

THE MAIN POINTS OF
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S MESSAGE
He Asks Congress to Enact a New Interstate Commerce
Law to Bring Trusts Under Governmental Supervision.
If That is Found Inefficient, Amend the Constitution.
Our national success and prosperity is due to the character and the experience of our people and therefore with the "gospel of hope and of triumphant
endeavor" we face the future.
Publicity for trusts. They must be controlled, not destroyed. The control
must be achieved by national action—not state.
Congressional power to regulate inter-state commerce absolute except as
.prescribed in the Constitution. This with power to regulate foreign commerce should be used'by Congress to control trusts. If this proves insufficient, then amend the Constitution.
A special appropriation for the better enforcement of the Anti-trust law
already existing.
Eeduction of tariff not a cure for the evils of trusts. But tariffs must be
regulated to give domestic competition a fair chance—no radical revision.
Tariff Ought to be dealt with from a non-partisan standpoint. Reciprocity
treaties a means for readjustment.   Coal ought to be on the free list.
A Commission of business.experts for the consideration Of tariff mildly
suggested.
An act suggested to make all kinds of money convertible readily into the
gold standard. *       . *
Combination of both labor and capital held to be proper and future legislation should aim only at their bad features—not their whole existence.
A new cabinet official, the secretary of commerce suggested.
Enactment of immigration law which has passed the house.
Legislation, so far as is within the power of congress, placing oragnized
capital and organized labor upon the same footing.
Ratification of reciprocity treaties with Cuba and Newfoundland.   .
"    Use of The Hague tribunal in settling national disputes.
Settlement Of Hawaiian fire claims.
A satisfactory treaty for construction of Panama Canal-expected. *       .  .
Conditions fpr an All-AnlericanPacific Cable submitted for congressional
approval. ,
The Filipino has more rights than any Other oriental save the Japaneese-
15,000 American troops now in the Philippines. Must grant additional .powers to the people there only as they shOw ability to exercize' rights Of government.   "Real constructive statesmanship" in the Philippines.-
Porto RicO an example of what is best in insular administration.
"Army small must be kept efficient. A general staff for the army and reorganization of supply departments.
Building of a stronger navy, enlargement of classes at Annapolis to secure
needed officers.   Holding of naval maneuvers.
Appropriations for extension of rural free delivery.
Commission to determine best use anddisposal of public lands in the west.
Irrigation to be developed.
Commission for Alaska and a delegate in Congress.
Continue to Absorb the Indian ra'ce into the nation.
Continue tOjgive scientific aid to farmers*-
Amendment for safety-appliance law for railroads.
Restriction*6f government printing-of documents for distribution.

The College Sport.
During the football season just
ended many a man has -been led to
wonder why such a rough (brutal
some term it) sport has such a hold on
the public mind. It seems well nigh
unthinkable that old meh even will
cheer as never before for the heroes of
a gridiron.. At the important games
dignified men of almost all walks of
life will cheer with childish glee any
advantage for the side they favor.
Thus was it at Michigan—Minnesota
game. In fact that game occupied
the attention of the whole state from
newspapers to telephone girls. But
after all to feel the fresli, wild, thrill
of victory in college sport does play a
part in the developement of the
strenuous in our young men. Ten
thousand people gathered at the little
city of Ann Arbor to see the championship game between the Wolverines and the Gophers, but in the east
it is no uncommon thing for from
20,000 to 30,000 to witness such an important game.
Michigan is proud of her University
football team, -the undisputed champions Of the west. All comers have'
been defeated from first to last for two
years. Many there are who now
clamor for future arrangements for
contests between the east and the
west and many claim that Michigan's
team even now is the equal of Yale's
team, the victor over all others in the
east. The paper players will now proceed to entertain the football .world
with their elucidations.
But, gentle reader, if you desire to
witness the strangest of sights, attend
a football game of championship importance and both see, hear and feel
pahdemonuim . let loose. Perchance
you, too, wil feel your being tingle
with enthusiasm and become as "daft"
as any of the worshippers of football
heroes. ,
Xmas Presents.
The .giving of presents is now. almost a universal custom. For many
people the selection of a gift in keep:
ing with the taste of the recipient, is a
cause of no' inconsiderable amount of
worry. How many a young man is
perplexed as he contemplates -procuring some suitable Christmas offering
for <his first -best girl! He wanders
irpm store to store without
daring to reveal what he wants. At
lepgttUateon. Christmas eve in d,es<
piration he procures a fine five dollar
album or some other expensive article
and clutching it while the persipation
ozpses out from every pore in his body
he rushes homeward* and consigns' it
to his trnnk. On Xmas morrow after
two nights of agony he gathers up,
courage enough, even though his
tongue cleaves to the roof of his mouth
and his hair sticks on end, to take it
to his adored one.
This year there is" a large field of
selection for Xmas gifts as advertised on these pages. We learn that a
number of people have already begun
to make their purchases, and it will
be to the interest of all parties concerned that examination of what is on
exhibition be early and thus-wise
selections be made ere the rush of the
last days before Xmas. Sentinel
readers are especially invited to inspect the wealth of holiday display as
shown by our advertisers.
