The Baraga Democrat thinks it knows
how to successfully run saw mill in
connection with brass band, and offers
itsinvention free of charge to the L'Anse
Lumber Co. The Democrat could un-
doubtedly make more money by getting
its idea patented. The hester boys as

who have stuck to the one idea of lum-
bering, to make the business successful,
would without doubt pay handsomely
for successful brass band combination
with their monotonous numbering oper-
ations. Being rather cautious business
men they might require sufficient
guarantee that the device would work
satisfactorily, but that difficulty can be
overcome by putting it in on trial.

McCabe, of Arvon, bid their many
L'Anso friends adieu last Thursday and
took their departure for the Worlds
Fair where they will soiourn for few
weeks, after which Mr.. Turner will
seek permanent location to engage in
some kind of business. Mr.. Turner has
been connected with the Michigan
Slate Co. for eleven years, the first six
years as clerk and the past five as resi-
dent manager. During much of1this
time he has been very useful member
of the board Of supervisors and his
absence therefrom will be greatly re-
GREETED. Mrs. Turner and her sister,
Miss McCabe, will be greatly missed
from L'Anse society and their departure
is generally regretted. They take with
them the best wishes Of large circle
of friends.

The state board of corrections and
charities will meet at Vicksburg next
Tuesday to decide upon the location of
the proposed Upper Peninsula asylum
for the insane. 1t will probably not be
long before the result of their delibera-

the issue will be favorable to L'Anse,
but if it is not the committee having
the matter in charge will feel that
everything has been done for L'Anse
that is possible to do.

Stag, the waste material at blast fur
naces, which was some years ago dump
ed into holes as common filing, is now
an article of commerce, because Of the
phosphates it contains. It is excellent
fertilizing material, not alone for the
phosphates, but because it contains no
weed germs, and also because the steel
particles which still remain in it are in.
imical to the existence of worms. It is
said that orders for $4,000 tons of Stag
are now on file at the Pottstown Iron
Works. Germany is heavy purchaser
of Stag fertilizer.

POWERS OF SCHOOL BOARDS
DEFINED.

Some time ago the school board of
this township asked Attorney General
Ellis. his opinion concerning the powers
Of school boards to contract with
teachers for terms extending beyond
the current year. In reply Mr.. Ellis
says:
There is no question but what under
our statutes district board may con-
tract with duly qualified teachers for
the ensuing year, although before the
term OF school commences the member
ship of the board may be changed.
Cleveland Us. Amy, SO Mich, 374.)
But it is my opinion that they have no
power to make contracts for the en-
ployment of teachers for terms to COM
mence beyond the expiration OF the
current school year. (Dauis Us. School
Directors, go ILL.,, 293. Stephenson
us. School Directors, 81 ILL.,. 1851
If the district board has power to
contract with u teacher to teach school
for two or three years, they have Just
as much power to hire teacher for ten
years. This, I believe, is against both
the letter and the spirit of our law, and
against public policy. Furthermore, q
district has right at its annual meet
ing to determine each year the length
of time that school shall be taught. 1t
is my opinion that your board is not
bound to recognize any contract made
by q district board with teacher for
any period extending beyond the next
ensuing school year.

The grand total is something in ex-

thousand feet, or nearly twenty-three
miles: At the same time the estimate
does not include state, government or

long jump from one building to another.
Let the reader figure for himself
whether by walking forty miles he

CLIP THIS OUT.

A large number of our people will
visit the Worlds Fair during the next
two months, there are some of them
who will probably ask how far they
must walk in order to see the Fair?
This is hard question to answer, but
here are some fairly accurate figures on
the larger buildings. If you wish to
traverse the main aisles in the Manu-.
facturers building just to get good
general impression, but without edging
around thousands of show cases, you
will find nine main aisles east and west,
with north and south aisles, eleven in
number, making total length of
twenty-six thousandssfeet, a trife less
than five miles. The minimum esti-
mates for the gallery on the same basis
is twelve thousand five hundred feet.
This does not allow for passing through
sections or walking back and forth
through the narrow aisles of open ex-
hibits. 1t refers only to what might
properly be called the streets and aven-
ues. Furthermore, it does not allow
for doubling upon each thoroughfare.
The visitor must see both sides at the
same time.
The same rule is..followed in the case
of each building.
