An ImpQrlanl Industry.

!, There Is no question hat the business
enterprise In which the firm of Foster,
Blackmun & Co. are engaged here Is Of
mach bepefit to this locality; and We
think our settlers appreciate the fact.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. I. B. Sher-
wood, their veteran superintendent,
we have been able to CLEAN few items
that we consider of sufiicient interest
to anr readers to warrant publication.
During the most Of last winter they
employed 80 men In their logging OPP
erations in Webber townships about 8
men in making various repairs at the
mill aud from to 10 men In the yard,
shipping lumber. The number of cars
shipped, from Feb. 10th to April 18th,
w,!s l26; with the average amount IL
lumber to each car-l2,0O0 feet. Quite
u large per cent. Of the lumber was
what lumber,pen stylet" good, (which
has. been shipped to various points IN
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, New York
City aud Kentucky. They have also,
furnished u large amount of work to
planning mills ut Chase, etc.
Another item was the paying out to
settlers IN Webber township, about
81, COO during the past Winter, for l 800
to ] 400 cords of wood placed on the
line of the 7 miles of logging railroad.
At present they are running their
mill and lumber camps, full blast, and
the settlers are getting fine benefit
from, n; and rs far as we are able To-
judge, the industry will continue for
an indefinite period.

We understand that considerable has
been said about an attempt to break
up the Baldwin SCHOOLS. we haeten
to assure our readers that We do not for
one moment believe that our school
board, or principal ,haVe'at any time
had any intention Of breaking up the
schools. They simply wanted to see
the children of the taxpayers OF the dis
trict compelled to 60 home for their
dinners, while children of nonresidcnts
occupied the school house. A number
Of children were locked out on y bitter
cold day, while this principal with an
other portion of the scholars were i'm
side enjoying themselves. The young
er portion Of the children have been SO
thoroughly frightened that they cam
not be induced to start for the school
house till the " first bell rings" All
this, Of course, Is backed by reason(?); I;
but In our opinion 1t will he u very hot
day for the school board when they at
tempt to give the reason and law that
sustuins them.
