OF the Lower Peninsula it would only
be an act OF justice TO extend them
to many OF the towns in the Upper Pen
insula and this can no doubt be carried
through by concerted action on the
part OF the residents OF ali the towns OF
the Upper Peninsula, which are at pres
emit properly protected by fire engines
and good water supply. :
The News would propose that con-
vention should be called TO be held at
Marquette, Ishpeming Negaunee or
some central place and that each town
should send delegates to it in proportion
to its population when some concerted
action could be agreed upon to bring
these cormorant fire companies to book.
The fact that SIS, 200 was lately asked
for the good will OF one insurance agency
in the Upper Peninsula shows OF itself the
immense profits that the companies
make when they can allow such big
compensation to their agents.
Who will issue call for such conven-
ton as that proposed above?

to BE Erected on Missionary Ridge.
The Illinois Chickamauga commits
sion recently decided on the design for
the monument to be erected on Mission

troops who participated in the battle
around Chattanooga. The base will be
81 feet square and the total height so
feet The structural material will be of
granite, and it will hold bronze figures,
representing the cavalry, infantry, ma
val and artillery branches of the service,
and there will be four panels upon
which to inscribe the names of the reg
iments and such other data as the COM
mission may decide upon. The crown
ing feature of the monument will be a
IL foot figure of Peace in bronze. The
cost OF the whole structure is not to ex-

most striking erected by any of the
states on Missionary ridge, not except.

The Insurance Question.

From the article taken from the De-
croft Journal OF Wednesday last, which
follows, the people in the Lower PENN
rsula have evidently been kicking against
the high rates charged for fire insurance
and apparently have succeeded in OBJ.
tanning very large reduction from the
late rates. The article is as follows:
h. F. Chapman. speaking OF the new
insurance rates this morning said:
1.-The conditions in the Upper PENN
ssula are so different that an entirely diff
e-ent standard should apply there. so
that country is not affected by the
change.
"'Uutil this change went into effect, on
November 13. there was dividing line
running across the State north OF the
south ne OF Muskegon, Newaygo, Mont
calm, Gratiot, Saginaw, Tuscola and
@Sanilac counties, which marked a great
difference in insurance rates. The por-
ton above that line was, when the rates
were made, in a country where the build
Ings were of the cheapest frame construc-
ton; where waterworks and fire engines
were few and far between and where for
est tires we're frequent. This governed
the rate and made insurance much more
cosby than below the line OF division.
Great changes have come about in that
country, and it is now becoming safe to
write fire insurance there. The reduction
above the line will in many cases amount
to SO per cent.
1.-The general reduction to the entire
Lower Peninsula will amount to between
10 and 20 per cent, but the rule provides
that in no case shall the reduction bring
the rate under 60 cents per 800 per
aunum. This is to cover the case of slow
burning or fire proof buildings, on which
the rate is already as low as is possible
20 carry with safety.
Especial hazards are not affected, as
cheese cases can ne governed by no general
rule, but on the average mercantile build
ing, say. for instance those on Griswold
street, the wners will save probably 20
per cent.
"'I may also state that the change re-
Gates only to new contracts, even the
three years policy holders being bound
S0y the old rates until their time expires. -
Mr., Chapman is perfectly right IN sup
posing, as he does by the opening re-
mark, that the same state OF affairs
which he mentions as having once existed
IN the counties at the north end of the
Lower Peninsula, but which, according
20 bis statement have now been changed,
did at one time exist in the towns of the
Upper Peninsula, but now certainly the
change he alludes to as having taken

Police Clerk Edward Gridley Of Los
Angeles is having practical results from
bread cast upon the waters. Some
months ago one armed tramp called
at Gridley's home and asked for some
thing to eat The good natured clerk
gave him food, had talk with the man
and was convinced that he was deserv-
ing. The tramp's name was McNellis,
and his first meal at Gridley's home
was followed by others He also receiv-
ed clothes. He expressed his gratitude
and said some day he would reward his
benefactor At length the tramp disap-
peared.
Some weeks ago Gridley was aston
ished to receive letter from the man
postmarked i'll Lower California. The
writer said he had discovered a rich
gold mine, and he wished to take Grid
ley in as equal partner The police clerk
paid little attention to the letter. but
later letters from McNellis confirmed
his original information. What finally
awakened Gridley's interest was a tele-
gram from McNellis at Ensenada, say
ing that large price had been offered
for the property by a wealthy company
and asking what Gridley intended do
ing with his interest. Then the police
clerk secured leave of absence and re-
