The steamer Atlantic sank to the bottom of Lake Erie 140 years ago with immigrants on her decks and some of Bonnie Archer's roots in a sturdy oak crate. A freighter rammed the Atlantic on Aug. 20, 1852, killing 150 to 300 people and sinking the ship near Long Point, Ontario.

The exact death toll is unknown because passenger logs were incomplete. Buoyed by a federal judge's ruling, Mar-Dive Corp. has claimed the wreck and its cargo in Canadian waters. The salvage company based in Van Nuys, is seeking descendants of passengers to claim some possessions after diving begins this summer, Mar-Dive President Steve Morgan said. Mar-Dive has heard from six descendants, including Archer of El Dorado Hills.

Her great-greatgrandfather, Amund O. Eidsmoe, his wife and their two children survived the wreck and settled in Wisconsin. "It's like someone is taking part of my life and giving it back to me," Archer said. "The story has been such an important part of our family for years." Authorities Ontario challenged Mar-Dive's claim, saying the steamer is protected by the province's antiquities laws. The Ontario Provincial Police say they'll prosecute anyone who disturbs the wreck.

Even so, Archer said she's excited by the prospect of regaining family treasures. The Eidsmoes boarded the paddlewheel steamer in Buffalo, N.Y., shortly after arriving in the United States from their village of Aurdal, Norway, according to Eids-moe's journal. Most of the estimated 600 passengers were Norwegian or German immigrants who paid $1 each to sail from Buffalo to Detroit, Morgan said. Others paid $10 for first-class cabins and dined on marble tables under whale-oil lamps. Immigrants including the Eidsmoes were sleeping on the upper decks when the Ogdensburg, a grain freighter, hit the Atlantic's side at about 2 a.m.

Many couldn't understand English commands from the crew and panicked, jumped overboard and drowned in water shrouded by fog. The Fidsmoes were plucked from the water by the Ogdensburg's crew, according to the journal. The elder Eidsmoe later became a school teacher and magistrate in York, Green County, Wis. Morgan said divers will move cargo, furniture and navigation equipment from the Atlantic to Mar-Dive's Erie base beginning in June. Mar-Dive will determine what it keeps and what is given to the descendants, he said.

"A lot of people have the mistaken impression that immigrants were very poor people," he said. "They were very thrifty, and a lot of them had sold everything they had." In a ruling last year, a federal judge in California placed the wreck under U.S. jurisdiction and named Mar-Dive the custodian. The ruling means Mar-Dive and its partners own the ship and its contents, but Morgan said some of the passengers' belongings will be given to descendants so they can learn about their roots. However, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt.

Mel Getty said expeditions will be stopped if the sal-, vage crews lack proper permits for archaeology. Arrest warrants for disturbing a site of antiquity have been filed against two divers from Mar-Dive who already went below, police said. "We would consider any removal of items from the shipwreck an extremely serious offense," said Armando De Peralta, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications. "It would be tampering with the history of Ontario and, indeed, the history of Canada." Among items believed to be under 150 feet of water and broken ship decks are a safe containing $30,000, leather sacks of U.S. mail, about 1,000 guns and dozens of oak crates packed with the immigrants' keepsakes, Morgan said.

The tightly packed crates are marked with the names of passengers, about 50 of whom have been identified through old newspaper clippings and court papers. How much was damaged by water is unknown, he said. He expects to find gold coins, jewelry, papers and other keepsakes in the crates. Already retrieved was a sealed bucket of cheese, vintage 1852. "We just scraped off the top, poured the water out and took a bite," Morgan said.

"It tasted great, kind of like blue cheese."

VOLUNTEER CENTER Santa Cruz County (408) 4230554 Cargo-plane crash in Ohio kills four 3620 SOQUEL DRIVE SOQUEL 476-6211 The Associated Press TOLEDO, Ohio A DC-8 cargo plane struck a tree and crashed in a cornfield Saturday, killing all four people on board, just three months after making an emergency landing when a cargo door flew open, the airline said. The four-engine plane crashed at 3:27 a.m. about two miles north of Toledo Express Airport after twice attempting to land, airport director Jim McCue said.

At least 12 firefighters and other rescue workers were hurt fighting the blaze. The plane struck a tree, but authorities weren't certain if that played a role in the crash. Rain and fog had reduced visibility to about two miles. The plane, traveling from Seattle, was leased by cargo shipper Burlington Air Express based in Irvine, which operates the hub airport. The victims were employees of Air Transport International of Little Rock, which owns the plane.

But she said lack of information about the physical characteristics of Clapper has prevented positive identification. "No further information has come forth on Clapper," McGuckian said. "We're at the point where we'd like more on him." Both Lassen and Clapper were killed during a prospecting expedition to the Black Rock Desert with Lemericus Wyatt. Wyatt escaped after witnessing the incident and rode a horse to Susanville, a trip that reportedly took him four days.

Dr. Richard Andrews For Information, Fees, Appointment Call 464-0599 McClatchy News Service SACRAMENTO A computer analysis has ruled out the possibility that skeletal remains found in a remote Nevada canyon by a rock hunter in 1990 are those of California pioneer Peter Lassen. Rather, the skull and upper body are likely those of Edward Clapper who, according to historical records, was slain in an ambush April 26, 1859, with Lassen, said Peggy McGuckian, an archaeologist for the U.S.

Bureau of Land Management. When the discovery of the skele-ton was first announced there was speculation that the remains were those of Lassen, who is thought to be buried on the edge of a lush meadow outside Susanville. "We'll never know for sure, but we believe it is Clapper," McGuckian said from Winnemucca, in a telephone interview Sunday. She said the location of the remains "matches up with historical descriptions of the site," and the bullet hole in the skull fits descriptions of Clapper being shot in the head. According to McGuckian, Lassen is believed to have been shot in the chest, while Clapper, according to The Associated Press BOTKINS, Ohio Sharon Klosterman's blond hair turned orange "I mean carrot-red orange" when she began washing it with western Ohio's hard water.

The iron mineral deposits in hard water apparently bind to the hair, giving it an orange cast. The problem isn't new, but one solution is. Some people not enamored of the punk-rock rinse have been using a caustic toilet bowl cleaner called The Works, which contains hydrochloric acid and is designed to remove hard-water stains and rust from toilet bowls. It's not meant for hair. Lime-O-Sol Co.

of Ashley, cautioned that the acid can burn the skin. "We're concerned that our product is being used for something other than what it was intended for," said Therese Stantz, supervisor of sales and customer service for Lime-O-Sol. "We're not a hair-care product." The company has only heard of the custom occurring in Ohio. "We have no indication that it's being used extensively," she said. Klosterman, 33, of nearby Kettlersville, said she mixes The Works with water and then rinses her hair in the bathtub.

When she first heard about the practice about four years ago, she thought it was crazy. "But you get so desperate," she said. She knows of several people who use The Works in their hair. Some who don't dilute it saw smoke coming from their hair, she said. But she has noticed no harmful effects.

"I don't get it on my hands. I don't get it on my scalp," she said. "I'm really careful when I use it."
