The D. & C. s. N. Co. Preparing for
Next Seasons Travel.
Observer, Weather Bureau,

The company has decided not to extend
its line to Petoskey," said General
Passenger Agent Schantz, OF the Detroit
and Cleveland Steam Navigation Com
pany, yesterday. "Why9 Because the
class of travel which goes that way is not
remunerative, at least not to the company.
Those who go to Petoskey, Bay View and
Harbor Springs demand lower rates than
do any other class OF people, and as the
railroads give them about what they want
we would have to do the same to CON-
pete. To accommodate them we would
have to refuse passage to thousands who
are willing to pay our full excursion
rates to Mackinac. That's why the route
will not DO extended above the straits"
"How is work progressing on the new
boats?"
zone Is already I'm frame, and the keel
is all laid for the other. The Detroit
Dry-dock Company promises to use It's
best efforts to complete them on time,
and will put on double gang Of men IL
necessary"
"How about the Toledo end Of the
route!"
decision on the proposed extension
to Toledo will be reserved until next
week.
"You might say that during next July
and August, when the summer travel Is ut
It's height, the service between Detroitand
Cleveland will be doubled. Additional
boats will not be put on, but each OF the
two boats on the route will do double
duty. The boat which leaves Detroit at
10 p. m. will leave Cleveland, returning
at 0 a. m. This has been found necessary
because Of the big increase in travel be-
tween the two points. Large numbers Of
ladies patronize the route, and the day

Mr.. Cleveland was right when he
said: 1--WE should strike to rid our
selves and our countrymen of the
idea that there is anything shabby
or disgraceful in economy, whether
in public or in private life" 1t is
distinctly a Republican idea that
because the country is rich it ought
to be extravagant. - Cheboygan

Profits in Stumpage.

In the northeastern Minnesota
district there is at this time an
active demand for stumpage. Trad
ing in timber lands is now princi-
pally with homesteaders and small
holders. These, by the way, are the
blocks on which the absorbing
speculator makes his best commits
sions. His own estimators have
gone over the tracts and made con-
sentative figures. A quarter section
may contain 100000 feet easily
and is so noted. The homesteader
has but one thing definitely in his
mind and that is that he must have
S1.25 or $1.50, as the case may be,
for his jag of stumpage. The price
is satisfactory and he is convinced
that he has but twelve or fifteen
hundred thousand feet, and the
trade is made, with both sides happy,
as each has made money in the
transaction.
1t is rare that over $1.75 is paid
for a small tract of pine to the or
iginal owner, and so soon as it has
been grouped by the purchaser with
large group, it is inventoried and
held at from $3.50 to $3.50. In fact
| know of sales recently made down
in Bayfield, county at 81 thousand
by homesteaders, and the holders of
the pine now list the same stump
age at 81 to $4.25, and before the
snow leaves the north woods they
will make a turn at those figures or
better. Manufacturers can safely
figure a profit of So a thousand on
stumpage which costs them 81, in
terest, insurance, losses and taxes
counted in. These figures in view
and Michigan pine falling, it is not
surprising thatthe northwest should
be moved upon.
The northeastern Minnesota home
steader had two objects in view
when he entered his 100 acres and
neither of them satisfies the law.
The spirit and interest of the Home
stead Act is that the bona fide
settler and slayer may have a home
wherein to build, to improve, to
pay taxes and populate the country.
In those broken forests and the
craggy wilderness where even the
Indians can not exist without assist
ance, much less can the white man
take his family and, isolated, hope
to thrive there. Nor does he at
tempt to do so. He gets tip, for
consideration, from an explorer Of
q quarter section well timbered and
he enters it. In ninety cases out Of
a hundred his improvements and
residence thereon as required by
law are merely constructive. He
finally proves up" sells his pine
and holds the fee to the land for
mineral developments. In the
meantime the settler" is barber,
a servant girl, an attorney or a
capitalist. The timber may be
sold for from $500 to SIS, 900; be-
sides, an iron or nickel mine may be
discovered later on which is worth
a fortune. But little Of the land is
adapted to agricultural purposes

Viewed from tonsorial stand
point, the senate is divided as fol-
lows: Thirty-two senator's are both
gray and bald; thirty are gray but
not bald; twenty also not bald and
retain hair of natural color; only one
gentleman, Senator Rigging, pre-
sents head clipped and he is be-
coming quite gray. Twenty-six
senators have a mustache only;
eighteen have a combination of
mustache and goatee; four have the
goatee alone; fourteen wear their
boards short cropped; eighteen are
smooth shaven, while only five have
what might be termed full boards.
These latter are Messrs. Dolph,
Mitchell, Stewart, Villas and Coke
Senator Sawyer alone wears the
once fashionable short cropped throat
whiskers, the remainder of his face
being smooth shaven. Mr.. Morrill,
and Mr.. Washburne are the only
gentlemen with strictly legitimate
side-whiskers. The most striking
examples of utter badness are Sena-
tors Sawyer, Warren, Blodgett,
Coke and Ransome; they have abb
solutely no vestige of hair remain
ing on top Of their craniums.
Altogether, as viewed from a
routine standpoint, the United
States senators present an easy
going everyday appearance. The
highly colored newspaper sketches
which we have read all our lives,
with mingled feeling of awe and
envy, suddenly disappear into
common place "bosh" when the
reality is placed before us. There
is nothing grand, gorgeous, heroic,
or extraordinary striking about the
Senate, its individual embers, or
the chamber in which it convenes.
Comfort, freedom from restraint,
and an air of being at home as re-
CARDS dress and personal appearance,
are the chief characteristics of
this legislative body.-Chicago

outlaws entered the Bank of Ell Reno,
overawed Mrs. S. W. Sawyer, wife OF

forced her to give up slO,50O
While Mrs. Sawyer was alone in the

stepped up to the cashiers window,
made an inquiry about some town lots
and then went to desk and began
writing. In moment another stranger
appeared at the cashiers desk and pre-
senting n revolver at Mrs. Sawyers
head, demanded that she hand out all
the money in the bank.
Mrs. Sawyer was so frightened at first
that she could not move, but the rob
Der threatened to shoot if she did not
act quickly, and in a dazed way she en-
tered the vault and handed to him all
the packages of bills in the safe and
what was in the daily change drawer,
aggregating about S1O,5OO, less than

SLAUGHTERED BY THE SUN.
A Fateful Day In the History OF Chi

|
A Fateful Day In the History OF Chi
| cage.
CHICAGO, July 2s-The slaughter by
the sun was still on in Chicago yester'
day, fifty deaths and twice as many
prostrations by the heat having oc-
CURED. Although there is in the pre-
diction of a cold wave possibility OF
relief, it is certain the number OF deaths
will be largely increased during the
next few days. The hospitals are filled
with patients suffering from sunstroke,
many of whom can not possibly recov-
er. The record Tuesday, which sur
passed anything in the number OF
deaths and prostrations from heat that
this city has ever known, was eclipsed
by the awful work of the sun yester'
I day.
The temperature was about 4 deg.
lower than that of Tuesday according
to the official record of the government
Office, which was SO at noon on the
Auditorium tower, but down on the
pavements, where what little breeze
there was came hot and sitting, the
mercury was in many places 105 to H.
in the sun and from % to "a in the
shade.
The parks were packed from early
morning until late at night by crowds
of people who imagined that sticky
green branches and brown shriveled
grass were more comfortable than the
inside of their own homes. But all
their efforts to find habitable abiding
place were in vain. There was no COM
fort to be had anywhere and the man
who sought it was the man who found
the least of 1t.
In the business portion OF the city
work was seriously handicapped by the
heat. The number of horses which
were sunstruck and caused temporary
blockades of the crowded thoroughfares
could hardly be counted.
There were not enough horses in the
entire police department to carry of
the animals which fell during the day
in and about the business center of the
city alone, and it was found necessary
to call in outside help, for the ambu-
lances and patrol wagons had oil they
could do in caring for the suffering peo-
pie, and had little or no time to devote
to horses.
The police were for once the most
overworked body of men in Chicago
They were ON the jump from early
morning until midnight, and so severe
was the work that several officers were
Frustrated and had to be removed to
their homes. At the county hospital
the entire staff of physicians was en-.
gagged with cases of sunstroke. There
was not enough help, although every
possible assistant was pressed into the
service.
