We have heard many inquiries re-
gardiug what action has been taken
by our village council relative to the
wheel factory case. AS noted in report
of council meeting Of several weeks
since, the railroad company submitted
to the council their proposition for II
settlement of the differences now eXis-
ting between the company and the viii
lage. BY motion of a member of the
council that body was appointed COM
mittee of the whole to confer with the
railway company but as yet there Is no
report of auy such conference being
held. Whatever may be the opinion
OF any citizen relative to the question,
given why settlement or adjustment
of the existing differences should not
be made, and that, too, as speedily as
possible. Every moment the factory
lies idle, is not only financial loss, but
damage to the town by reason of the
bad appearance OF a boarded up factory
as seen by people passing through the
village. Personal feelings relative to
past action in the case should be laid
aside, The people are the masters in
this case and the JOURNAL, without
prejudice, believes the people are tired
of the present state of affairs and are
anxious Tor a settlement. Don't delay,
gentleman; do something to start the
wheels in that factory, and give employ
ment to those who need it, and who will
circulate few dollars among our mer-
chants.

So Senator HanlIey says 4 \ = that
he did right in voting for the Rogers
50-year franchise bill. This bill was
generally considered the most Infamous
piece of legislation before the last gen.
eral assembly. 1t was denounced by
almost every newspaper in the state,
and the labor organizations were solldly
against it. 1t was a piece of corpora
tion jobbery, and was considered as
being against the interests OF the peo.
pie. 1t will cause the death of more
than one aspirant for political honors.
Mr.. Hankey says he did right in sup.
porting it. The people do not want

An apparently we'll authenticated
rumor is to the effect that ere long the
Toledo & Maumee Valley railroad and
the Toledo, Bowling Green & Fremont
line will pass under the same manage
ment; in other words, the plan appears
to be that the Toledo Sc Maumee Valley
Company will lease and operate the
other road as part of its system. There
is every reason TO believe that
this is merely move in the direction
OF greatly increased electric railway
system, with Toledo as the central or
objective point for all divisions. That
the line will eventually be extended to
Waterville, and also down to Wood
vile, is practically assured. Then will
come the extensions to Fostoria, FIRE.
mont and Findlay, all of which are con-
templated. Whether the proposed
line from Toledo to Genoa will ever
become part of the system that is
gradually being built with the original
Maumee Valley line as it's foundation,
is matter That admits of grave doubt,
as eastern capitalists are even now fig
uring with the men who own the right
OF way over the Genoa line, and have
ideas strictly their own as to the future.

New York Fashion Letter.

Up to this time we have great deal
which heretofore were considered far
too gay for street wear. Violet and red
has perhaps been the most odd combi-
nation, while blue and green, cerise and
purple, black and gold, have attracted
their own share of notice. Now that
the weather has settled and has become
permanently warm, such combinations
as these are almost entirely abandoned
and dove gray and yellow, slate gray
and pale pink, blue and white lavender
and corn color hold sway in the soft
materials for extremely warm weather.
A large variety of shades in green are
worn, two or three shades in one gown,
and often one shade combined with
cream white or linen.
Almost all of thin batistes, dimities,
lawns, swiss and linens are made over
colored slips and trimmed with ribbons,
the same color as the slip or a contrast
ing shade.
The skirts are trimmed around the
bottom quite a little. Three or four
narrow ruifles, either double or single
with lace at both edges, make pretty
finish for thin dresses.
Large varieties of latest models car
be found in the late numbers of Nc

FORT MElGS.
Steps Taken to Improve the Old
Historic Land Mark.

Every one acquainted with Wood
county knows what fine plat of ground
is old Fort Melgs, situated on plateau
just above Perrysburg on the south side
of the Maumee river. Since travelling
facilities haYe been vastly improved by
the construction of the electric roads in
this country, the old fort is coming
more and more to be place of much
interest TO travellers and tourists. Many
people visiting Toledo take advantage
OF the fine chance to visit the old relic of
bygone war times. The people of Per-
rysburg are taking steps to improve the
roads leading to the fine plot of ground,
so the visitor may more easily study
the historic spots. Should the bill now
pending in congress for the preservation
and improvement OF the battle grounds
in the Maumee Valley be adopted, Fort
Meigs will be the most important OF
the list. There is no finer location nor
finer view of the picturesque river the
entire length of the Maumee river, and
it should be beautiful and preserved
from descreation.
Old Fort Miami, mile below on the
Lucas county side OF the river, shows
many lines OF its former plan, and is of
much interest to persons who enjoy
studying these relics of the days when
Generals Prescott and Harrison ex-
changed courtesies in the way Of firing
solid shot at each other at IL miles dis
tance. The people of the Burg are to
be commended for their efforts to take
care of Fort Meigs and to beautify the
same. - Sentinel.

1t seems to be the opinion among
many of the Republicans OF the county
that the primary system should be
adopted in the selection OF delegates to
the conventions. This giYeseyery voter
in the various townships an opportunity
TO express his choice in the matter.
The question has come up before the
county committees on several occasions
but they felt that it was the duty OF the
people TO settle the question in conven-
tion. Last year the committee on Res.
olution took up the matter and pre-.
sented the following resolution which
was unanimously adopted:
"Resolyed, That we recommend thai
delegates TO the county convention be
selected by the primary system through
out all the voting precincts of Wooc
county"
This primary system Of selecting del
egates Il. g. voting Tor the delegate
direct the same as at "a regular election
has resulted fayorably aud TO the com
plete satisfaction OF the votes in eyer
locality where II has been tried, and
IS probable the Committees vii
1rder that all delegates be SO selected
II SO complete explanation OF the sy,
tom will be given in the JOURNAL mex
week.

The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1897-12-25

This mass was near the surface and
on the property purchased by what
is known as the Central Mining com
pany. This company has worked
this mine successfully for period
of 40 years. The above were in the
only specified place on the south
shore which are mentioned in the
French reports. They also make
many illusions to the richness of
Isle Royal in its deposits OF pure
copper, especially the northeast end
of the island, which they report as
being so full of copper that it can
! be seen above the water in many
! places in the SMALL harbors on the
iIsland. This is also found to be
strictly true in its minuteSt detail.
That these explorers should have eX-
plorcd that region and have given
such correct accounts OF the coun-
try in regard to its mineral wealth,
which statements are today verified
and have not even in any manner
made an allusion to having seen
ancient mine work there on their
entry to that region, is Il fact. which
is plain evidence to our mind that
the ancient mine work which is to-
day frequently met with on Lake
Superior, is the work done by the
French explorers of 1900 and none
oi hers
Some writer's have written fabu-
louS accounts of these ancient works.
stating that these miners while at
work must have been ovcrtuken
with some dire calamity, having
left so hurriedly that they left be-
hind them the implements used in
their work, also the copper they
had mined. But it would not be
reasonable to expect them to carry
away these rude stone hammers
which they had shipped there for
that especial purpose, Then be-
sides they were of no future earthly
use They had served their purpose
in the mine work and methinks com
mon reasoning would tell us that
they would not be removed. AS for
the copper that was found in large
masses, they had no means of taking
/ ii away, but they doubtless took no
little amount of the small masses
when they left t he country, as his
tory tells US also that they made
several visits to that region. 1t is
but reasonable TO suppose that had
there been any mine work done
there prior to their advent into that
region, it would have been men.
