RUIN OF PAvEMENTs.
Protest Against Scattering Loo
Rock on the Streets.

A protest will be presented to the
City Trustees tonight against the fur
ther dumping of loose and jagged brok-
en- rock at the crossings on K street,
east of Fifteenth. The street has been
macadamized, and these loose stones
are scattered all over the surface.
The result is that people in buggies
and carriages, also the riders of BIZ
cycles are compelled to seek other
streets Many vehicles now use rubber
tires. and these jagged stones cut the
costly tires and soon ruin them.
Complaints have been made of the in
jury to other streets by this strange
proceeding, but the work goes on. There
is an ordinance intended to prevent
teamsters from dropping crushed rock
from their wagons along the streets,
while whole wagon-loads of it are
dumped here and there by the street
department. only to be kicked and
scattered by horses feet.

Mortality in Michigan Was
Lower Than for the Pre-
ceding Month.
BUT HIGHER THAN IN 1898.
Not as High I'm the Upper Penih-
sula AS 1t Was in
the Lower.

There we're 1850 deaths reported
in Michigan for the month of No
vember, or 7S less than the number
for the preceding month. The death
rate was 1872 per thousand estimat'
ed populatiop,as as compared with
12.1 for October. The month was a
very favorable one, but the deat til
rate was slightly higher than for the
corresponding month in either OF
the years 1897 or 1898.
Important causes of death were as
follows; Consumption, 40; other
forms of tuberculosis, so; typhoid
fever, sc; diphtheria and Group, 63;
scarlet fever, IS; measles, %;
whooping cough, IL; pneumonia, 1871;
diarrheal diseases of children, II;
cerebro spinal meningitis, 32 ;cancer,
15l; accidents and violence, 147.
The number of deaths from diph-
iberia and Group was only two more
than for the month OF October. No
disease showed any marked increase
during the month except pneumonia,
which increased from l39 to 157.
Typhoid fever and diarrheal dis
eases of children declined TO q con :
siderable extent.
The mortality in the southern
counties OF the state was 2.3 per
1000 higher than that for the upper
peninsula, while the percentage of
deaths of persons aged G5years and
over varied in even greater degree,
being b. per cent in the southern
coanties and only 12.1 per cent in
the upper peninsula.
A peculiar feature, however, is
pointed out respecting mortality in
the upper peninsula. Reports show
that the numb'r of deaths of Infants
amounts to over % per cent of the
waolC-iearlytwice as many in pro-
portion as'in the southern counties.
1t has been suggested that probably
this may jbe accounted for from the
fact that there are more infants and
children among the families of
foreign birth and descent in the
north than among ;thegnative born
population in the other portion Of
the state.

Anyone questioning the statement
that for the variety, volume, quality
and value of her productions, Michi-
gan is a banner state, IS confidently
referred to statistics on the subject,
says the Detroit Free Press.
Intelligent and scientific farming
is the rule throughout the state, and
educational advancement in this di-
rection is unceasing. Michigan
farmers are among the highest
representatives Of their class and
keep step with the best advance
ment. They have, in the main, an
unusually fruitful soil and grow
everything for the market that can
be matured in this climate
Kalamazoo celery is called for by
epicures and good livcrs of every de-
gree, just as is favorite brand Of
wine or cigars. Even in conserva-
tive old Philadelphia the dealer who
does not sell Michigan apples de-
priveS himself of the best fruit trade.
Along the line of the favorite edibles
we have the finest fish and game In
abundance, to say nothing of the
small fruits for which the state is
justly famous.
All the staples of the north are
produced at their best by our farm
ers, and rs fancy stock raisers those
in other sections deserving the
prominence Of rivals can be counted
upon one 5 fingers. Michigan horses
have won the proudest laurels upon
the turf and one of the greatest de-
mands upon Michigan catt herds
is from breeders to improve the
stock in other localities.
a new field is opened up in the
beet sugar industry which gives
promise, when preliminary obstacles
aye overcome, to add immeasurably
to the prosperity of farming and the
manufacturing Importance OF the
state
In copper and iron we hold an un.
assailable position. In coal we have
more than enough to supply the home
demand for this fuel. Our quarries
present an almost tinexhaustible base
OF supplies. We have enough of tie
saline product to salt the earth, and
now comes the gratifying as
surance that we are to take lead
ing position in the supplying of
Portland cement. Some enterp is
ing figurer gives solemn assurance
that this state has slaughtered
enough timber to enclose the world
and put roof on it, yet plenty re-
mains for the maintenance of many
and enormous factories in wood.
With such natural advantages,
with the blessing of healthful
climate, with high standard of
average intelligence, with an ag-
gressive spirit of enterprise, with
plenty Of capital at home and
with the advantage of a
dual shipping system open
to so large a part of the states
commerce, Michigan should be coin
ing money. She is prosperous ard
the one handicap will be removed
when equitable laws give to every
man and every class an equal chance.

LAKE SUPERIOR

In Hopes of Finding the Lost
Whaleback 115.

The American Steel Barge Co. be-
gan Tuesday systematic search for
some trace of the barge 115 or the
crew. The big sea tugs Superior
and Zenith City were sent from Du-
luth and the tug Vigilant and the
steamer Colgate Hoyt from the 500,
with instructions to cruise oyer
every foot of Lake Superior, if nec-
essary. The tugs will cruise around
all islands and cover as much of the
shore line as possible in hope OF find
ing the shipwrecke1 crew.
All lights having been extinguish-
ed on Lake Superior Capt. Westcott,
representing Pickands & Mather,
agents for the owners of the barge,
called on Commander Duncan Ken
nedy OF the lighthouse district Tues
day and requested that the search
ing parties be given government as
sistance. Commander Kennedy at
once telegraphei orders to have
every available light relighted and
kept lighted until the search is
ended. Commander Kennedy re-
ceived the thanks of all these in
terested in the search for the lost
boat, as without the lights the
searchers would be in grave danger.

Gazette. The above statement was
made Wednesday by a gentleman
who, although he does not reside in
Houghton, is well known, and his
word is not to be doubted. The
work has been in progress for some
time, and he says it is the intention
of the company to build it's road to
Range Junction and connect with
the Copper Range at that point
which is also the connecting point
of the latter with the Chicago, Mil

After a struggle of over twelve
hours, a jury at Marquette brought
in verdict of manslaughter for
Jacob Lassonen, Saturday last,
and set Chris Kallio at liberty. The
crime which these two miners have
been charged with is that of killing
James Cashen, on August 9th, in
Ishpeming. Lassonen confessed
that he had killed Cashen, but in
self-defense. Kallio was his com
panion at the time the murder was
committed. The jury recommended
leniency. Kallio is 36 years old and
has wife and six children in Fin
land. Lassonen was sentenced to
two and half years in the Branch
Prison.
Two big cedar deals have been
consummated at Menominee. Henry
Harding sold his 1900 cut of shingles
estimated at Ii, 600, 900 feet, to Wal
colt Bros, of Manchester, la. This
deal involves over $50, 600 The Wal
colts also purchased 100, 600 posts at
Menominee. The Menominee River
Shingle company sold to Chicago
parties 100, 900 ties of next season 5
cut. The price paid was an increase
over former years and the deal in
wolves about $4,000. The price of
cedar ties and other similar products
has increased over % per cent dur
ing the past year
The Carp River iron furnace at
Marquette has been sold to the
Pioneer Iron Co., which is really
the big Cleveland Cliffs company,
under another name, Included in
the deal is the business of Schaeffer
Il Grey, the late operators of the
furnace. 1t is expected that the
company will considerably increase
the output Of the furnace and build
q by product chemical plant in con
nection. Heretofore, the plant has
been producing about / 200 tons of
pig iron month.
An Ishpeming dispatch states
that the Ropes gold mine, which
was recently sold to the Rand Drill
Co., New York, for small sum,
has been leased by Mckinney & Co.,
