MANUFACTURES.-The State or
community that concentrates its IA "
material and products will be the
most prosperous and successful. BY
this means the cost of transportation
is reduced. Corn, for instance, should
be exported in the shape of pork or
spirits; hides in the shape of leather,
or, still better, in the shape of boots
and shoes; cotton in the form of
cloth; wheat in flour; fodder in the
shape OF live stock; and SO on with
all the country produces. One of
the great drawbacks to the prosper
ity Of this State is that this is not the
general course pursued. Cotton is
sent to the East, and there made
into cloth, and then returned to us,
We thereby losing the cost of trans.
portatien both ways, besides leaving
many of our people out of employ
Ment while those of other States
are working and prosperous; and
this is not only the case with cotton,
but with wool, hides and other prod
ucts. There must be a radical
change in our way of doing things
before our people can reap the full
benefit of their products.

But tchere are these names so familiar to all

In every department of life, should you call,

Keen Jalgyers, toise judges, learned doctors have made
Bright homes for themselves east and west.
Brave trdTTi0rS there've been, that were glad TO engag,

True ministers also OF Christs' on life's stage
Ere striving its miseries to heal.
Professors profound, brilliant orators too,
And poets of varied degree.
While bankers of wealth, business men not a few
Are here, and beyond the blue sea.

Who've made for themselves fairest names,
And who in the World can more heartily boast
OF daughters of song rich in fame,
Or artistes with brush and pen here and abroad,
Whose talents we all proudly own
And lastly the mothers, whose praises to lsud
The1r children delight, in loves tone.
In calling Alumni by name. we are proud
The ring of such metal to hear.
And know that each heart echoes warmly aloud
aloha for Punahou dear.
We ask in return for the good obtained there.
And realized better each day.
That deep in your hearts, you'll her Interests bear
And strive her good gifts to repay.
With tangible proofs, that will strengthen her place
Inc seats OF sound learning among

In future, far more than we've sung.

And find in real life's foremost ranks.

And take in her growth, warmest thanks.

"The Ohio and Northwestern"


Articles of incorporation have been
filed at Columbus, Ohio, by a com.
pany of capitalists, chiefly Toledo
men, who have associated themselves
together as the Ohio & North western
railroad company. They propose to
build a railroad from Toledo through
Michigan to Frankfort, on Lake
Michigan. The line is said to have
been surveyed through the counties
of Monroe, Washtenaw, Livingston,
Shiawassee, Gratiot, Isabella, Osceola,
Wexford and Benzie in Michigan.
The country, as will be seen by the
map, is as good as there is in the
state, and according to an enthusiastic
Toledo paper, there isn't mile of
poor land on the route. The pro-
posed line crosses the Michigan
Southern at or near Petersburgh; the
Detroit & Hillsdale at Saline; the
Michigan Central at or near Dexter;
the Detroit & Lansing at Howell: the
Port Huron & Chicago at Morrice;
the Detroit & Milwaukee, and Jack
son, Lansing & Saginaw at Owosso;
the St. Louis & Saginaw at Alma, the
Flint & Pere Marquette at Evart, and
the Grand Rapids & Indiana at Cad

goes on to Green Bay, Wis, and
thence to Menomonee. A portion of
the route lying between Owosso and

company is now seeking right of way
through certain Toledo streets, and
in other ways begins to act as if it

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
LANSING November


During the past year universal distress
to the country was caused by the murder
Of the President. Yet have the people
cause to be thankful that our government
was so wisely framed by the fathers that it
passed unimpaired the assault of the
assassin, as it has withstood every assault
since its formation. For some eighty days
during the prostration of President Gar
field after he was shot, the government
was without an executive head, yet peace
and good order prevailed and with marked
regularity public business was conducted.
Commercial activity and prosperity is also
a feature of the year past. tN
In the especial calamity by fire which
has fallen on large district of Michigan,
we recognize the hand of an inscrutable
Providence. and yet to temper the blow to
the bereaved and suffering inhabitants of
that section, comes generous and munifi-
cent donations from people from all parts
of our Union. For this relief of affection
we owe many thanks.
Mindful of these chastenings yet are we
thankful for the general prosperity which
assures remuncrative occupation for labor,
abundance for the needs of our people, and
for the absence of plague, pestilence OF
general misfortune in the state
To show our submission 10 our Heavenly
Father and to attest our thankfulness fol
the blessings vouchsafed to us, l recon
mend 10 the people Of Michigan that they
assemble in their respective places q
worship on tho day hereinafter named anG
in humble application to Almighty God
ask for His continued kindness to us as
people.
Therefore, under the authority vested il
me as governor of the state, hereby desig
nate Thursday, the Gath day of Novembe

out the commonwealth.

through centuries of trouble, to kill
the Son of God. In this country
and generation God had undertaken
to establish his gospel again upon
the earth, as predicted by Daniel.
He was carrying cut his purposes,
and would do all to the very letter
as had been written by Isaiah, no
matter what might be the opposi-
ton to him. A spirit of opposition
to the gospel existed to-day, as it
did in the days of the Savior. The
difference between the saints and
the world was that the former be-
lieved in prophets and apostles. in
the gospel of Christ, and the latter
did not. 1t was said that the oppO-
stion to the saints was be-
cause of polygamy, but that
opposition had been manifested
long before polygamy was a known
doctrine Of the church. God held
the destiny Of his people in his
hand, and all the Talmages in the
world could not change it. The
speaker had had no fears with re-
gard to the church. Whatever
might be the power arraigned
against it, that power could not pre-
vail, nor stay its progress in the
least. Whatever men may do, it
would make no difference with re-
gard to the gospel, which was bound
to spread over the earth, as the Lord
had said it would. Its progress
could not be stayed by mems power.

praise to the Lord in the Highest"
and Counselor D. II. Wells pro-
nounced the benediction.

raigned for an assault and paid fine of S.

for fighting was discharged. J. J. Waikee ,

horseback, used language caculated to pro-
woke the peace, and was fined S. and costs.
Dick paid up promptly. Three other cases
are to come before the court. The week
commences lively and it may be that a new
kind OF whisky has been introduced which
contains more than the usual quantity of

A Proposition to Buy the School
House and Ground.

The School Trustees of the Butte school
district haye had an offer from company of
$4,000 for the school house and the ground
between Broadway and Park streets. This
price, we are informed, will not buy the prop
erty. The trustees ask $4,000 and it will
take that sum to purchase the present site and
buildings. 1t is thought that with $25, 600
and the $11, 400 lately realized from the sale
OF bonds that two new school houses, suft-
cicntly large to accommodate all the school
children of the district, can be erected in
convenient localities. The question of SELL
ing the old property is now under considera-
ton and if the company making the offer Of
$4,000 raises to $685. 600 the sale is likely to
be consummated.

The Fourth Of July District.

The mines in the Fourth of July district,
as far as opened and developed are looking
finely. The average of the quartz is high
grade, and all the ore worked from the dis
trict has yielded paying returus. Some of
the best properties in the district are not be-
ing worked at present, while others are pro-
ducing rich ore. The Mollie Childs mine is
one OF the producing mines of this district.
1t has been opened, by a shaft, to depth of
30 feet, OIL three-foot vein of good ore, six
to eight inches of which assays $50 ounces in
silver to the ton. On account of wa.er and
having no pump in place, has been suspended
but the mine will be worked, and ore taken
out above the water level.

hours in the hot sun, looking in wells, pros

sound asleep under the bed. AS the women
