ending September 80, 1879, has just been
issued. 1t makes pamphlet of 20 pages
and clearly sets forth the business of the
office, the amount of lands sold, and the
number of acres of land still belonging
to the state. The number of acres OF
land held by the state September 80, 1878,
1884 1853; during the year 6,53o acres
were forfeited to the state, making to-
tai of $780, O3 acres. The sales during
the year swere 69,O44, leaving 2,oOl .6oy
acres on hand September 80, 1879. These
lands are divided as follows: Agricul-
tural College 155,525 acres, asset GIL,

acres. The Commissioner says that thu
sales of land 'fOr the year have been
mostly in small parcels, and to parties
who will, in most instances, become &C
tual settlers. The sales of Agricultural
College land show large increase Ovel
former years. There is now a large In
uuiry for state lands from the older pOr
tiOns of this state, from the Middle

Go where you will you will find pam
phlets, circulars, &C., extolling the prai.
RE states of the west as the great Ell
Dorado for farmers. The advantages of
having land cleared ready for the pillow
are dwelt upon and impressed upon the
reader. The nature of the soil and its
productive qualities are set forth in the
most glowing terms, and nothing is left
unsaid to produce in the minds of the
reader that the western states are above
all others the states for farmers.
These pamphlets and circulars are
printed and sent broadcast in the inter-
est of the great railroad lines owning
large grants of land in that section.
and it is to be expected they have put
forth the best showing possible. The
picture is seen only from the bright side
and the results of only the most favOra-
BILE and prolific years are given. They do
not mention the many drawbacks which
farmers encounter. They say nothing of
the seasons of drouth, entailing loss and
suffering upon the hard toiling
farmer. They do not tell about the dis
advantages Of being so far from the
markets of the country, nor how it takes
one bushel of grain to pay for transport
ing another bushel to the great grain
centers. They do not tell Of the grass
hopper plaques that visit that section in
vast armies, consuming everything green
that grows. They do net tell of the
prairie storms and high prevailing winds
that render life on these lands unpleas-
ant to say the least. They do not tell OF
the difficulty and expense that attends
the making the necessary improvements
on the farms on account of the lack Of
timber, the lumber all having to be i'm.
ported from a great distance. They dc
not tell of the difficulty experienced in
obtaining water for the family supply
and for stock, how the wells fail in dry
seasons, and how water has to be hauled
for miles. These and many other disad
vantages the country labors under they
do not mention.
Giving these prairie states all they
claim, and yet we think that Michigan
stands far ahead of them as to advan
tages offered those desiring to follow
agricultural pursuits. From an article
in the Chicago Inter-Ocean we find tina
for 1878 the average production of whea
per acre in the states mention
ed below was as follows:

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The first State election of 1880 of i'm
pOrtance will be held In Indiana, next
April, to vote upon several proposed
amendments to the state constitution,
one of which proposes to change the
time of the State election from October
to November, on the same date as the
presidential election. This election will
put the Indiana men in training for the
great campaign of the year, though
party politics are not particularly involv-
ed in it.

From this it will be seen that fol
wheat, Michigan leads them all with the
single exception of Illinois, in the
amount produced per acre, SO much for
the production. How is it when it comes
to selling the products? An investiga-
ton of this important question will
show conclusively that Michigan has a
very great advantage. This was fully
shown in an article printed in the
TRIBUNE few weeks since, taken from
the Allegan Journal, in which it was
shown that the total value of the agri-
cultural products of Michigan and Kan
sas for the years 1875, 1876 and 1877
were as follows:
Michigan. 10y 80 ~
Ia, S560OO
This, Notwithstanding that the num-
Der of Acres under cultivation in Kan
sas during those years was 15.444,265,
while in Michigan it was only 1854,
O81 and yet the cash value of Michigan's
products exceeded those of Kansas for
the three years over $42,OOO,OOO. We
have no means at hand for comparison
of the value of the products of the other
states with that of Michigan, but, upon
general principles, think the compar-
ison would give about the same result as
with Kansas.
Feeling satisfied that Michigan will
not suffer from a thorough investigation
of the advantages offered to farmers,
we would call the attention of those
DESTROYS of seeking new homes to this
part of the state. The statistics of the
wheat crop of Michigan, as rendered by
the Secretary of State, show that Che
boygan county is above the average of
the state as to yield per acre. She pos
sesses soil that is equal in productive
ness to any other portion Of the state.
The great number of streams and her
beautiful lakes afford never-failing
supply Of water. The strong nature of
the soil is shown by the character of the
timber it produces. Land can be had at
a reasonable figure, and the wood on it
will pay for the farm and clearing of it.
A ready market is at hand for all that
can be produced at prices higher than
can be obtained in almost any other
place. The numbering interests of the
section require large supply Of all
kinds of farm products, and as the home
supply does not any where near equal
the demand, large quantities have to be
brought in annually, most of which is
purchased in Chicago, and costs in add.
ton to the price paid in that city the
freight from there to this place, hence
the price Of farm products here is equal
to the price paid in Chicago with the
freight added. Chicago is conceded to
be the market of the west, and yet here
right at home we have better market
and it will be 80 for years. We would
ask those looking for location to con.
slider these facts and investigate the ad.
vantages offered in ChebOygan county.

such ordinary ceremonies as has been
usually displayed, they greeted the Gen.

morning of last week, the first expe-

have been quite severe, causing great
alarm, although lasting only two sec

sinking to 80 at noon, and the thermO-

OurTOWn Election.

Next month Will be helu
the annual election for Borough
Commissioners and with it comes a
responsibility, that, unfortunately OF
Late years has failed to be appreciated
The health, convenience and pleasure
OF over 800 persons is at stake in these
elections to say nothing of several
hundred dollars of the peoples money
which is annually collected and ex-
pended. OF late years it has come to
be summed rather than sought for and
only after much coaxlng has it been
possible to secure the services of any
intelligent man, to act in the capacity
Of Commissioner. We remember s to
10 years ago when the office was
sought and fought for and when those
elected felt that they had been honor
ed in the selection, and rightly so.
Why then, with increased population
should now the Office 90 Logging? Is
there no way in which it may be lift,
ed from the slough Of disrepute who
which it has fallen, and character
and tone given to it that will trans
form it into prize, rather than a pur-
gatory? 1t is assumed, that no one
can become a commi. sioner and leave
the office at the end Of the year, with
out having given otfense to score or
more, aud with this Flea, has the office
been rendered odous. This, is all
nonsense, is an assumption not borne
ont by common sense and cannot be
substantiatel by any logical argument
A commissioner ceases to be, Mr.. A. b.,
O.. Mr.. C. D. lie becomes the lncar-
nation of the law, the borough law,
and if he executes the Law strictly,
literally and in an unprej JUDGED and
impartial manner and thus inconven-
fence or puts to cost or trouble any
town taxpayer or resident, the quarrel
is not with Mr.. A. b., or Mr.. G. d.,
it is with the law. if it works injustice
abuse it by repeating it; do not abuse
the executive. The real trouble is
not this, it has been partly. a failure
in many instances during the last
several years to full y and lmpartlalIy
execute the law and thus has been
given the opportunity for carpng and
criticism, that so many delight in and
SO many fear. 1t has futher been
urged, that whenever any particular
citizen has had "an axe to grind he
has generally been found ready to &C
cept the office Of commissioner and
thus has it been directly assumed, that
whoever becomes willing to accept the
office has, concealed, some design or
other for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The latter has more show Of right and
is more susceptible Of proof and has
done more to render the position an
obnoxious one, than any other charge
that has been brought. Is there not
some way, and are there not some cit
liens, who will enieavor to mark out
way, whereby, the office of Borough
Commissioner may be sufficiently ele-
waited, that it shall come to be an hon
or to be sought for. rather than dis
agreeable task or duty to be summed
