Not long ago, says the Detroit Jour-
nal, Prof. Kedzie, of the Agricultural
College, made public the result of his
analysis of the fertilizer sold by the
Western Reserve Fertilizer Company, of
Warren, Ohio, aud said IFS commercial
value was about 25 cents per ton. Now
comes an agent of the company and pro-
poses to sue Kedzie and raise the dickens
generally, as about 500 tons of the stuff
has been hung up in the warehouses OF
Michigan owing to Prof. Kedzie's report.
Maybe the agent will do all the things he
threatens and maybe he will not, but If
he gets down to a fight he will find the
old Professor one of the liveliest gray
headed men he ever had tussle with.

The city of Ishpeming is changing
the source of it's water supply from Lake
Angeline to Lake Sally, at an immediate
expense of $35, 900, with prospect of as
much more in q short time for new
pumps and buildings. Good reason ex-
lists also for believing that within the
next FIVE years the city will be compelled
to go to Lake Michigamme, eighteen
miles distant and 200 feet above Ish-
peming, or to Lake Superior, fifteen
miles distant and COO feet below the Ish-
peming level, to get water fit to drink.
For several years past the water drawn
from Lake Angeline has been SO impure
as to cause protests from the physicians,
many of whom ascribed the prevalence
of typhoid fever and similar diseases to
impure water. The heavy taxpayers,
among whom are the mine owners, OBJ
jected to changing the water supply on
the ground of the expense, but when it
was found that Lake Angeline was
underlaid with many feet of valuable
ore, and that 10 remove it would
necessitate the pumping out OF the
| hn fhraa largest
mining companies, each Of which owns
slice of the ore, decided that the water
was unfit to drink, and pitched on Lake
Sally as the future source of supply. 1t
was claimed at the time that Lake Sally
was decided on that ore existed about the
lake, and that it would be folly to remove
the pumping station t ere, for the reason
that mines would be developed and in a
short time tho water of Lake Sally would
u be as impure as that of Lake Angeline.
. No attention was paid to these warnings,
> aud the work of extending the supply
u main to Lake Sally was begun few
weeks ago. The contractors who are do
ing the work have cut through veins OF
Il iron ore at half dozen different points
only few feet below the surface. The
veins ore undoubtedly of sufficient size
. 10 pay for working, and it is likely tha
% several mines will surround Lake Sally IL
a few years. AS all their drainage vii
10 necessarily go into the lake, the trouble
IT that Was had at Lake Angelina will b.
y repeated at Lake Sally.
