Leroy Buckalew, of this place,
who has considerable reputation
as musician, has the oldest and
finest violin in the county. 1t used
to belong TO the old Royce family
of this county, and was handed
down through several generations
of the family. Mr.. Buckalew has
a clear and unbroken record of 1t
for over seventy five years back,
when it came into the hands Of
Moses Royce, who Is remembered
by our Oldest citizens. The violin
is very light, only weighing about
a half pound, as the wood is SO
thoroughly dry and the construc-
ton of the instrument is different
to that Of the ones made now days.
being followed out near the outer
rim on both sides and bowed cut in
the center, giving specially soft
and musical tone to the instrument
and making it very valuable. The
present owner believes from his in
vsstigations that the viOlin IS at
least 125 years old and came from
the old country. He, of course,
values it very highly and would
hardly sell at any price. John Du
Vail, the we'll known fiddler, who
now resides at Tunnelton, also has
very old violin, which is very
light and valuable, but we do not
know it's history.

LOGGING ON YELLOW DOG
hester Estate Will Put in Camps
There to Take Out the
Burned Timber.

The following is taken from the
Ishpeming department OF che Mar
quette Mining Journal of Thursday
The Thomas hester estate is pre-
paraing to begin logging operations
on the Yellow Dog river, abont
thirty-five miles north OF Ishpeming.
A few weeks ago tract of land con-
tanning about $4,000. 900 feet of pine
was purchased by this estate from
Arthur Hill. Over $500, 900 feet of
this was run over by fire few
months ago. To save the burned
timber it muse te cut this winter.
A number OF the men who will be
employed at the camp arrived here
from Baraga yesterday. Teams
were also sent down from there.
Patrick hester will have charge of
the work. 1t is expected that q
force of from $50 to 200 men will be
employed, and it is expected that
all the burned timber will be cut
and put in the river before the
breakup in the spring.
A representative of the estate
spent Wednesday in Ishpeming
purchasing supplies for the camp.
One of the foremen was also here
and was quite busy getting his men
together. There are a number of
idle lumbermen here and some of
these may be given work.
In order to get the timber to
Baraga, where the hester estate
mill is located, it will have to be
driven down from the Yellow Dog
to Lake Independence. From there
it will be taken to its destination
on RATS. The team road between
the Dead River Mill company's
headquarters ten miles north of
Ishpeming and the Yellow Dog,
which J. Il. Gordon pushed through
last summer will be very con-
venient for the hester estate. If
the road had not been cut through
it would now be impossible to reach
the camp from here.

Congress pass a bill imposing a tax on

but to discriminate against one class OF

then we resist that tax with our might
as an infringement OF the rights and Nb-

An Associated Press dispatch printed
yesterday from Santa Fe says that an
analysis which has Just been made OF

more than i.s per cent. higher than the

and received the hes, attention, but beets
grown on other farms around 'ichmcnd

this matter careful study and "ho has
had considerable experie zee in .armn g

The great point in this platform IT,.
OF course. It's unutterable fidelity TO the
foundation idea on which everything else
depends, that there can be but one stand

be a gold dollar worth one hundred cents

there can be one yard-stck thirty-slx
