The floating island near Lake St. Clair attracts many viewers from the city and Starline steamers. It remains intact except for a fifty foot square section trailing behind. Reportedly shifted closer to the canal, vessels glimpse the anomaly and sometimes mistake it for land. Emory Wendell placed an American flag on the island Saturday, naming it Jewell’s Island after the ex Postmaster General who early visited it. Potatoes are priced at six dollars a bushel at the Black Hills.
