THE ROUTES OUTLINED.
Proposed Canal to Shorten Dis
tance to Lake Superior.

Information comes from Lansing
to the effect that the Chicago cap
italists who are interested in the
project to construct a canal to join
Lakes Michigan and Superior have
had their articles of association
prepared there and are now making
the publication required by law.
One who has given the matter
careful attention says that the build
ing of this canal will mean much for
the commerce of the upper lakes,
and will doubtless center vast
amount of trade in Chicago al d
Lake Michigan ports. There are,
he says, but two places on the PENN
sula where waterway canal could
be built at anything like reason
able cost, and on the Lake Michigan
end it would enter at Little Bay de
Nocquette. One line, the westerly,
would follow the watcriy branch of
the White Fish river and with a
short cut at the water course of the
Chocolate river to the lake, where
it would enter Lake Superior few
miles south of Marquette. The
other end would follow the eastern
branch of White Fish river and con-
meet with the hcadwaters of the Au
Train, and then connect with Lal c
Superior in Au Train bay, some 30
miles east Of Marquette.
Both Of these routes have been un-
der consideration number of times,
and either would cut off several hur-
dred miles between Chicago and the
western ports of Lake Superior. II
is stated that the physical features
OF the country are such as to make
the scheme altogether feasible, and
il is believed the project will 90

THINK HE'S IN TIE LAKE.
Popular Travelling Man Believed
to Have Committed Suicide
at Chicago.

The Chicago Record of Friday last
printed the following:
"The Chicago avenue police are
seeking to find the owner of a hat
found ON the lake shore yesterday
morning in which was written
Charles W. Poor, Chicago, Ill. Nov.
l6, > p. m, "
1t is assumed that the police of
icers rather believe that Mr.. Poor
committed suicide by jumping into
the lake. Regarding Mr.. Poor, who
was also well known in l. 'Ansc, the
Negaunee correspondent of the
Marquette Journa! says:
"Aithough Poor had travelled this
section only about two years, he
was one of the best known CONNER
cial men that visited the upper pen
insula. He was Il whole-souied fell
low and had a great faculty Of form
ing the acquaintance Of people. He
spent much of his time in lShpem-
ing and Negaunec and he was wide
~ known and liked 10y all who knew
him. IIe travelled for the we'll
known shoe house Of Smith, Wallace
& Co., having taken the place of Ira
G. Whitney, who committed suicide
in the cemetery at tioughton about
two years ago. Poor had been
travelling for shoe houses many years
and was good tradc-getter.
Friends Of Poor in this section
do not doubt that his body is some
where at the bottom of che lake. He
was here short time ago and was
quite Respondent. 1t seems he had
family troubles and was much wor-
ried on that account. He remarked
more than once that he did not think
life was worth living since he was
separated from his family.
when Poor was due in the up
per peninsula two weeks or SO ago
another man came up in his place.
He reported that Charley had his
trunks packed and was already to
come out on the trip, when he sent
his employers word that he was go
ing to take vacation. They tried
to impress on his mind the import
ance of his going out at that time,
but Poor would not listen to them;
he said he wanted the vacation and
he was going to have it. Hethen
went out II few miles from Chicago to
spend short time at summer re-
sort.
"His friends up here have not
heard anything of him since the man
who came up in his place was here.
The little item in The Record at
tracted much attention and the news
it gave spread rapidly among the
man s acquaintances. Details Of the
affair will be awaited with no little
interest.

Going Wild over Copper stocks

People all over the country are
gong wild over copper stocks just
now, and the interest that is taken
in the mines in this vicinity was
never greater than at present. Cal
umet people themselves are also get
ting very much excited over the
phenomenal rise in all the stocks on
the list and are looking for still fur
ther increase in the price of favorite
stocks. Hayden, Stone & Co. sent
in orders for the purchase of no less
than /, $50 shares of different stocks
Monday and that is evidence clear
enough that the people here think
the market is good for better prices.
a. B. Turner 81 Brother also sent
in orders for a number of big pur-
chases Monday. With the market
looking so favorable, and the price
of copper solid. bigger prices are
looked for in the near future. -Calu-

From the floral Point of View.

The contradictory character of licensing
the sale of spirituous liquors is brought
very forcibly to the surface i'll the protests
against granting license to house in
Cecilton, and one in North East. A pro-
test was made by the citizens against
licensing a hotel in Cecilton because it
was nearly opposite the public school
building. In North East the hotel is in
proximity to the church. The pastor
and number of his congregation pro-
tested vigorously against establishing a
licensed liquor house near their church.
The license court after considering the
cases concluded that liquor establish
ment was out of place near school,
but that it wouldn't damage the
church, and refused the Cecilton applca-
ton but overruled the church peoples
protest and granted license for the North
East house.
There may be weighty sanitary reasons
for refusing certain kinds of manufacture
ing establishments in certain localities,
but no such reasons can be urged against
keeping and selling liquors. Alcohol is
in itself neither dirty or noisy, and the
sole objection is moral one If it is a
moral injury to set up grog shop near a
school in sight of children and if there is
moral degradation in opening retail
liquor place near a church, the same de-
grading influence emanates from the
licensed sale of rum from every spot
where enc is established under the aegis
of the law. Every precaution taken to
fence off the bad effects from the commu-
nifty is an indictment against the entire
business. Everybody knows that Cecilton
is better off morally, socially and indus
trially for having licensed hotel denied
to some of its least reputable citizens; and
the public conscience admits that North
East would have been better without the
licensed rum shop, Such "accommoda-
tons" are not required to make the pub
lie comfortable, only for the pecuniary
benefit of a certain class of people. There
is no getting away from the fact that a
community which sanctions licensing the
sale of rum in its midst does it at the
expense Of its moral status.

The r1essage.

Soon after the meeting of congress on
Monday at IL NJ, the Presidents message
was read in both Houses. The message
is painfully long, and tame. The paper is
characteristic of the President He avoids
assuming any responsibility, or suggest
ing any policy on any of the questions
arising out of the war. The papers In
their comments OH the message generally
pronounce it disappointing, but the sur
prise would have been much greater had
the President outlined any policy on the
island acquisitions or anything else.
Mckinley is not a man to assume respon-
sibility but glides round it smoothly.
The most outspoken paragraph in the
message is its brief allusion to the cur
rency in which he expresses desire to
have authority to retire the greenbacks,
and pay them out only for gold, which Is
a pledge to the gold standard interest
that the President remains faithful to the
banking system.
The London Times and other English
papers are all warm in their praise of the
message, (Which may be pleasing to
Americans-of certain class.
The president is bound that congress
shall shoulder all responsibility and he
will look on.

According to Mallet, the island OF
Luzon was so called because its Spanish
conquerors observed that in front of the
cabin of every inhabitant there stood a
large cylindrical wooden mortar, which,
in the language of the Tagalas, was called
losong, and in which was pounded the
rice that formed, and still forms, the staff
of life of these people.

which grows in great abundance on the
shores of the Bay of Manila.
The name Cavite is very slight alter
alton of that of native village, which
was so called from the shape of the bay

The Cobbler.

A few years ago any shoemaker could
start business in his front parlor by going
out to the nearest farmer and buying
COW hide, which he made into shoes and
sold to the first customer. The shoemaker
at this period was a free man and could
vote for whoever he pleased; it made no
difference to him whether it was free trade
or protection, or gold, or silver money, he
could go to work on his hide next day
The subdivision of lsbor-the gang sys-
tem-was then introduced which enabled
a p,an with more capital to force him out
of his little shop and compel him to go to
work in the gang. He then is no longer
free to vote as he pleases, but has to vote
as the interests of his "boss" directs Very
soon machinery is introduced into the
gang system, taking first the place of this
one and then that one, until today sixty
machines make pair of shoes one ma
chine puts on the heels, another puts OH
the soles, until shoemaking is divided
into as many parts as there are machines.
AS these machines reach nearer and nearer
the automatic stage, cheaper and cheaper
and more unskilled labor can be employ
ed until at last we find nothing but
poorly paid girls used as operators on
them. The old shoemaker has been rele-
gated to the cobbling shop, and even
there he is comparably more free than i'll
the great factory. But the department
stores are now sending around their
wagons to gather up the shoes of their
customers and hiring shoemakers to do
the cobbling. And the poor old cobbler
will be compelled to go to work in one of
their departments for FIVE or six dollars
week, and the little freedom he had in
his cobbling shop will have Departed
