through the eastern and southern
parts OF the county, connecting with
Marquette countys great iron
range. We are joined on the north
and east by the great copper range.
We have immense forests OF timber
of nearly every variety, including
pine, birch, maple, spruce, etc. We
manufacture first-class fire brick
and building brick. We have three
sarge sawmills located on our har-
T6or, which manufacture large
Tamounts Of lumber, shingles, lath
and other building materials.
Second, water power: Fall river,
which runs through the site offered
! by Mr.. Smith, has IA power capacity
OF about eighty or ninety horse
power, which can be utilized for
lighting power, gravity system of
water works, and in driving ma
chincry for the factory.
Third, our harbor. The site Of.
fcrcd is near the head Of Kewcenaw
Bay, which forms natural harbor
of refuge and safety for boats in any
storm, and it must be considered
one Of the best and safest harbOrS in
the country, and can be easily pro.
tcctcd in case of war with any
foreign nation.
In conclusion we will say that
We would not ask to have this armor
plant located here if it were not for
the fact that we have greater natural
az xn nj ~, A -
ton and running of such plant
than any other place in the United
States. We have all the best quality
Of building material near at hand.
We are located between the great
iron and copper mines, convenient
both by rail and water. We have
the best water power, the best
harbor,a healthy climate and plenty
of pure water.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted for your favorable consldera-
ton.

war measures became laws by the
mornings action Of the senate. These
increase the strength of each company
of the national guard to $50: increase
the annual appropriation for the naval
reserve fourfold, or to $4,000 annually;
provided for war loan Of $500.000; and
protect from levy for debt the property

ture will apply all the remedies sug-
gested by the supreme court opinion re-

commissioner is wrong in his ruling, but

taliatory law becomes a boomerang

New York may be persuaded to take.
Retaliation is a game two can play
at. and New York companies are the
ones most largely interested, having
sixty-two companies in this state upon

No Information To He Given Out Concern
ing Movements of Vessels.
Washington, April 15.-Gradually the
lines are tightening around the news
centers OF the navy department. Some
time ago Captain Crowninshield, chief
OF the bureau of navigation, issued an
order forbidding any of the employees
OF his bureau giving out news except
on permission from him. This did not
interfere with the posting of the move
ments OF ships in the navigation bu-
reau which has been done for a long
time past. Now, however the officials
Of the bureau gave notice that hereaft-
er no more information would be given
TO the public respecting the arrival and
departure of vessels from any of the
United States or foreign ports. This Is
done under explicit orders from Sec
retary Long. who believes that In times
OF great public crisis, like the present.
when the navy is likely to be called
into active requisition. the best inter-
ests Of the government require that no
publicity shall be given TO the move
ments of the ships composing 1t.

preparations for departure Immediately

Washington, April 15.-The president
has expressed d desire that both houses
OF congress agree on the resolution
which passed the house by a vote of
32z to 10.
The resolution of the senate is more
radical in its declarations. but the en-
actment Of either will. It is admitted,

Spain. The demand upon Spain to
withdraw her military and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters will as
suredly be construed as a declaration
of war. accompanied as it is with direc-
ton to the commander-in-c -chief of the
United States military forces to drive
them out unless they are voluntarily
withdrawn. There is little doubt of the
passage of the resolutions of the ma
jority OF the committee by the senate

"rhere are many alternatives and
makeshifts in household economy, ?"
said well-posted matron at one of our
clubs the other day, "but the most
proftless and foolish one that / know
anything about is the use of what is
called cooking butter. 1 hold as an
axiom that if butter is not good
enough to eat on my bread, it is not
good enough to put in my cake or my
,tewed tomatoes and peas. Poor but
ter spoils more cool food than almost
anything else in the line of cooking.
II is to this ingredient more than to
any other that cooks often complain
that their food seems stale aud
greasy and everything tastes as
though it had been cooked in til /,
same pot. 1t is better TO use no but
Ter at all than the rank high-Havored
article that is sold as cooking butter.
"Dwellersin cities who cannot readi-
" obtain cream, which is a most ex-
,elent substitute for butter, often use
salad oil instead. Indeed, the demand
for table oil is rapidly increasing, so
many ways are there in fine cooking
where it serves an admirable purpose.
Housekeepers who are careless OF
economy use it for frying crullers,
croquettes or oysters. 1t is, of course,
lar superior to all other fats, but tco
costly for ordinary purses. There
are few persons who do not relish
The flavor of olive oil, but they very
soon learn to become extravagantly

The dog in harness as applied to the
traction of the cycle is novelty which
will rightly never be tolerated in the
British Isles, but the Belgian has adj
yanced the idea of using canine trac-
ton for neck and collar work in draw
ing the bicycle up hill, and at Stras-
burg the strong mastiff may be seen
performing the same service for the
tricycle.. AS the Belgian dog, when he
has done his work he receives his re-
ward He jumps up behind like a
smart groom and shares with his mas
ter the joys OF the descent. Not so
the Strasburg hound he is always on
duty he is harnessed behind the ma
chine, but his face is toward the guild

can not go in front, for he would inter

clisi declares he reioices to pull be-
hind. There is no doubtthe dog does
show some sense of gratitied pride in
working in harness. In Belgium and
in Switzerland one may often see the
free and unattached dog trying TO
fhove behind the hand cart as a vol
unteer pushing when he may not pull.
But in spite OF his good will, the fatal
result shows itself in the curved back
and distorted legs. Pail Mall Gazette
