Phone Main b The "phantom ship" seen hv the vi cinlty of Cr.pe Horn Is. as hnf been proved by the Investigation of various hydrographlc bureaus, nothing more or less than rock which under cer tain atmospheric conditions bears a deceptive resemblance to a ahlp. . Very often vessels coming from Eur rope to the west by way of. Cape Horn have been startled to see what appeared to be a derelict with the water, washing over her deck. If the sailors were of an imaginative turn they would Invest the unknown ship with ghostly qualities and call her the Flylug Dutchman or sometimes the "ghost ship" of Le Malre, from the strait of that name, where she was usually seen. .- ;.; One of the stories which have been longest remembered Is that of the ill fated Crown of Italy, which sighted went ashore. The Crown of Italy was standing ' close to the jagged ' black rocks at the entrance to the strait Of Le Malre when she sighted what seemed " to be a waterlogged bark drifting , on the rocks of the strait. Many. other. ships rounding the Horn have seen a similar apparition, and the various hydrographlc offices of the world have received many reports to that effect Some years ago the Norwegian bark Servla got into Seattle with the tale of a phantom ship that almost exactly corresponded to that given by the Crown of Italy. The second officer of the Norwegian vessel declared that he bad seen a derelict with sails set and decks awash drifting In through the strait It was this report that led our government officers to make public the declaration that the phantom ship wsb nothing but a combination of rock and shadows. The numerous reporU of derelicts ghost ships always appearing in the same place led even the Argentine government to look into the matter. A tender was sent out from the near by lighthouse with the object of mak-, ing an investigation, and it was found that the apparition was due to a strange freak of nature. Among the black Jagged ' rocks that line both sides of the strait of Le Malre there is one In particular which, under cer tain atmospheric conditions, bears a deceptive likeness to a ship. The formation of the rocks and the shad ows they cast combine to produce the effect of a bark running under short salL, -! The passage through the strait of Le Malre is not often made. Steamers shorten the route by going through the strait of Magellan, while sailing vessels usually prefer to be entirely on the safe side by going still farther south and rounding, the Horn Itself. Only under the most favorable condi tions of weather do they slip through the strait of Le Malre on the outward trip, going toward the southwest but never when bound for the north. For this reason many old sailors bare never met the ghost ship or the rock ship..' ' :'' v.''- Those who have seen it give a mi nute description of the rock and testify to Its striking resemblance to a ship. It seems to be standing head on, point ing to the south and low in the water. The sails are shortened as they would be In what sailors call half a gale. The whole formation Is very dark, as if the hull were painted black and the sails weather beaten. It has three masts and Is higher on the fore than on the main. Upon coming on the side of the vessel the illusion vanishes and the whole thing resolves itself into a conglomeration of black rocks. The perpetual fog of these regions helps. of course, to befuddle the vision. . The rock looking like a ship Is by no means a rare natural formation. Al most every sailor has seen one In some part of the world. In the CUpperton Islands there Is a great white rock looking like a three masted schooner leaning n the wind with her royals set and the sun shining on her white sails. About six or seven miles west of Honolulu there is a rock known as French Frigate rock because once upon a time a French frigate went ashore on it The cliffs looked so much like a ship that the frigate was deceived and thought she was meeting another vessel St Paul island, in the middle of the Atlantic is said to look very much Ilk a ship when approached from a certain direction, but It Is a place that mari ners prefer to give a wide berth.

Have you thought of the time when old age and physical infirmities will cause the man at the desk to say, "Charlie, you have been a faithful man for years . and it is with the deepest pain that I tell you old age prevents this company from further employing you unless we reduce you to a minor position.''? ; , , . - Tel this is whaj happens io aii ox us. Age prevents " -us from retaining highest usefulness. Not one man, bat all meet the same conditions. This being true, friends, what is better than an in come for later life? , What is better than being able to say to the wife, "Well, wife, it was fortunate that we invested a few hundred dollars a year when I was able to make mon eywhen I was in my prime and the children were small." ' It is with such an assurance that the man whose name appears on any company's pay roll can lie down to pleasant sleep and feel that his family is protected. ,. But 'what can the small investor buy that is sure to increase in value, and yet have his investment safe? That is a question which has confronted every man who gets his check. That is a question that the shys ter, .the crook and the confidence man has taken ad . vangtage of for years and years. " The stock Jobber and the worthless bond seller have played upon this very heartstring to fill their own pockets with wealth from the man who works. There is one investment which has stood the test of time; that has been solid and firm when all else trembled; that investment is land.; When one owns and has title to Mother Earth he has something that only revolution and the dethronement of this republic could make unsafe -either of which is an impossibil ity in this enlightened age. ; V : But ordinary land does not offer the returns' that the, small investor is entitled to receive unless that land be located in a fruit growing section and is set to a growing orchard. If his investment is in orchard land in the right locality the investor cannot only be sure of future income but he can also be certain of, immense increase in value a thing that nothing buts fruit land today offers in proportion to the invest "menV ..;'; - . ; i : With Orchard property a man does not have to buy a half section to. make a living. A few acres not only will care for him and his family but it will make him money besides. It is safe as to crop in this valley and the market is assured. ' . Then why ponder of what you will do with your savings when at home right here in Union county you can. own a tract of fruit land, have it cared for look after it yourself and enjoy seeing the value each day enhance? : '.. . ; ;:;;'.v; VVVV ; This is something for every man on a salary to think about and when you want further information regarding details and the ease of payments call on V any of the following parties: ; - G.
