Base Bsll-A Correction.

BRUNSWICK, Sept 7, 1915.
Mr. EDITOR Il wish to correct an article which
appeared in the Journal Of Sept. 9Th in regard to
match game of base ball played in Brunswick,
Friday, Sept. 3d. between the Dirigos of Augusta,
and Electrics of Brunswick. In some respects the
report was incorrect. 1t was stated that Bruins
wick boys had picked their best nine, and that
three members Of Bowdoin College played in the
game, when in reality the club had never played
together before, some of the members not having
been on base ball field for several years, and on
ly two games had been played this season previous
to this one neither was it n atch simply friend
ly game. The only member Of Bowdoin College
was Mr.. Potter, and be one of our old residents
Mr.. Dudley came down with the Dirigos ostensi-
bly, for the purpose Of umpirrg the game, and had
this been done in an impartial manner it would
have been decided in favor of the Electrics as it
conceded by all present that they virtually
won it, several noticeable instances Of biased
judgment being charged to Mr.. d. The above
are the facts Of the case. "

not only will it be of advantage to the

HarbOr Improvement.

Among the estimates returned by the
U. S. Engineer Corps for the river and
harbOr improvements at the principal
places Oh the Northwestern lakes, for the
coming fiscal year, we find the estimate
for ChebOygan, to be $4,000. If we can
get this amount appropriated for our
harbor, we may reasonably expect that
those i'm charge of making those esti-
mates, fully realize the importance OF
this locality as harbor, and not only
this but its importance as future great
commei cial center. The TRIBUNE has all
along been fully convince that ChebOy-
gan is destined to be one of the first places
on these Northwestern lakes. All we
want is show of public enterprise, and
concert of action among all the citizens
of the place, to keep this idea before the
people and we may rest assured that we
shall be fully recognized by those in
power, who have the expenditure of the
public funds.
The TRIBUNE again wishes to earnestly
impress upon our citizens this idea, that
it is absolutely necessary to have the
formation of an association effected i'm
mediately wherein all shall become MEM
bers, working to the common end, the
good of ChebOygan.

Remember the Poor.

When it uas pleasant weather the roof
did not want repairing; when it rained
he could not repair it, and that was the
reason why she got angry the other
morning and gave him right good talk
ing to-a genuine blowing up. 1t all
happened Thursday morning of this
week. The ground was covered with
snow. There was hardly any wood to
get breakfast with. and what there was
was all. The house was not yet banked
up for winter. The windows had broken
lights in them, with the vacant places
filled with old rags, and nothing laid up
ahead for the long, cold, dreary winter.
The children wanted shoes and clothing.
and so it was that she gave him piece
of her mind. What she said was the
truth but he did not heed it, for that
very day he sought to drown his troubles
in deep pOtations. He got drunk. so
drunk that he rolled OH the sidewalk in
the snow and slush in profound drunk
en- sleep. A friend came along and helped
him home. What sight was that for
the wife and for the children. Who shall
tell all the thoughts of her broken heart.
Hard times and hard winter before her,
with no provisions, no comfortable cloth
ing for herself or her children; hus-
band that spends the few dollars that he
earns at the saloon.
Pity her, reader, and forgive her the
scolding she gave him that Thursday
morning. She thinks OF the supperless
nights for her children. the pinching
poverty of the long, cold winter for her
self, while others fatten upon the scanty
dollars that her husband earns.
Reader remember the poor duiing this
long and cold Writer which has evidently
begun and is now before us.

Property Undervalued.

The old and rich sections of our state
are not alone in the fraud of undervalu-
ing property for the assessment of taxes.
1t is not so bad i'm this county as in
some, nor i'm the lower peninsula any,
where as in the upper. The Hancock
Mining Journal ridicules the course TAX
Ell by the assessors Of the 10 counties in
the upper peninsula, in valuing all the
property there at less figure than the
real value of the Calumet and Hecla
mine alone. The illustration used by
the Journal, in referring to the valuation
of Houghton county at $2,1OO,000, is vig-
orous though not poll he'd. 1t says that''if
one of these assessors were to be called
on to apprise the value of a litter of bull
pups, and should make oath that the pups
were worth $1,O0O,O0O, he would not be
making greater ass of himself than he
does every time he swears to the accuracy
of his estimates of the value of property
described in his assessment rOll.''

No Smoking.

A firm in our village recently suspend
ell i'm their store placard on which is
printed the words mo SMOKING"
This action is to be heartily commended,
and we wish the printer might strike off
a whole edition of these notices to be
posted where they are needed.
Will some one of legal turn of mind
please explain why person has right
to pollute the atmosphere which another
is compelled to breathe? TO breathe in
the face of another is considered ill-man-
ners. Is etiquette better observed by
mingling purgent smoke with expelled
breath? for the rank fumes of pipe and
cigar hold vitiated air from passing away.
The fact that smokers as a class become
oblivious to the comfort and right of
others puts bad mark upon the prac-
tice. Let the reform 60 on until every
public place OF business shall be cleansed.
ERGO.

his honor remarked that he thought
whiskey was more powerful this year

to the best of his recollection he did not
take more than three drinks; at least he
only took enough to make him feel
pretty good and he guessed he felt pretty
good yet. Just here his honor gently
pushed his ''stub-toe" pen over his ear
and proceeded to give Mr.. German a

port upon the back of chair, he enrich

On Monday night of this week, this
place was visited by most fearful storm
of wind and rain. The Oldest inhabitant
never saw anything like it, so he says and
at the same time gently limited that he
never expected TO again. why saId lie
at one time it seemed as if the old house
would be blown all to pieces. and as for
the rain there was not a window or n door
on the east side of the house but the rain
beat through them anu under them and
over them,. until such great ponds o.
water stood upon the flor that it seemed
as if the fire company had reOr9anizedl
and with their old engine had actually
been trying to put out an imaginary fire.
Farmers coming from the country report
trees fallen across the road. fences blown
from their foundations, the telegraph
lines fiat upon the ground and all tangled
r..po ted as being ashore just this side OF
the Mackinaw City docks. The pond
net of the Smith Brothers and BoughtOn.
as we'll as that of Mr.. COrlett were blown
ashore.
A vessel was lying at anchor, for two
or three days, near the old docks in the
Straits, where she bad run under bare
poles, having had every stitch of her can
vas blown out, as well as her booms.
There is no doubt but we shall hear of
further disasters as soon as the telegraph
lines are repaired. Truly it was fearful
night and old boreas must have had a
jolly night of it from all we can see and
learn.
