The town of Hurley is one Of the
centers OF the great iron mining and
lumber industries in Northern Wiscon-
sin and has gained some considerable
undesirable notoriety through Its dis
reputable resorts and the tough class OF
humanity which fiocks in there from
the mining camps. For long time
agents were sent to enticc in.

halls and stockaded dcns in the vicinity
OF Hurley and Bessemer, but vigorous
newspaper crusade exposed the work

4 Petition for = Half Mile Track Under

"The West Michigan track has made
q fine record and we will always be
sure to have first-class races and O good

yesterday. "Let me tell you though
that there is another improvement
under advisement by the society that

Bicycle racing is becoming one OF the
most popular OF sports, and while the
craze does not yet prevail to such an
extent In the West as in the East, it is
surely coming. Bicycle races are won
on thoir merits and are a straight con-
test of skill, strength and endurance.
The races are classed by their respsc-
tive records precisely the same as
horses are and there are time limits
that prevent any soldering. When

the limit Is fixed at something very
near their records and unless the win.

it is declared no race. The racers have

LETTER FROM KALAWAO.

Enron Brm.rrlN;-
Since writing my last communiea-
tion have read With mueh interest
he various articles on the Leper
SETTLEMENT which have appeared in
your paper, from Bishop Willis and
Others. Without wishing 10 take any
part in the controversy between the
reverend gentleman aud his oppo.
nents, ! cannot refrain from few
observations on the subject. In the
letter from Bishop Willis Of Decem-
ber nth, find these words, "For If,
as | myself firmly believe, there are
persons to-day at the Settlement
who have been sent there as lepers,
but who have no disease that could
make them source Of danger to the
public health, such persons ought to
be restored to their homes" | would
like to ask the reverend gentleman
what, in the event of his suggestion
being followed out, would be the re-
suit to those who have been so un-
fortunate AS to he branded as lepers!
Could he or anyone else guarantee
them employment, or even a house
TO put their heads into! think that
with public opinion and the influence
Of the medical fraternity as strong as
it is on the subject, those persons
would be apt to fare pretty hard.
And now few words on another
point. In your issue of the 18th
inst, under the head of "Explana-
tions by the President of the Board
of Health" occurs the following:
"Seven pounds meat is allowed each
one week, for which they can take
as an alternative any of various ar
ticles of diet. They are allowed so
much poi, rice, sugar, etc., and may
substitute certain quantity of one
for smother" | think that your re-
porter must have very much misun-
derstood the President in this state
| ment, for | cannot believe that gen.
tleman could have said anything
which is so far from the truth as this
item is.
For the information of those who
may be interested in this matter, |
offer the following, which can be
easily verified, as the true statement
in regard to rations furnished to
lepers here in the Settlement. Week
ly ration of beef, 7lbs., for which
the only equivalent now obtainable
is salt salmon, 5lbs., except on very
rare occasions, perhaps two or three
times year, supply of fresh fish
comes along. Formerly, ration of
mutton was also issued once in a
while, but that has long been a thing
| of the past. The other food ration
is one bundle of pai-al, 2llbs., per
week with either of the following
articles as an equivalent, but only
one: 9lbs. rice with lib. sugar, or
S5bs. pilot or medium bread with
lib. sugar, or l2lbs. -four with lib.
sugar. For two or three years past,
those who wished it could, instead of
the above articles, get an order on
the store for groceries to the amount
of so cents per week, which was the
value of the pai-ai under the old
contracts. Since the Both Septem-
Der, however, this has been discon-
tinued and all have to fare alike.
And now, as | have trespassed at
considerable length on your valuable
space, will close with wishing you
and your readers Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year.
