The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1899-11-18

A Kansas soldier puts it this way:
Next time l fight for my country
I'm thinking that I'll do it by sea.
'Twixt the navy and army there S
just the difference of walkin'; 'twixt
sleepin in bed and on the ground; /;
'twixt havin a square meal and only
something to eat. You've got to
keep scrappin every day on land,
at less n day S wages, while you re
always guessn when the hospital II
get you. On the sea there's just
one big scrap, and you go down or
you stay upo-I it's up, you have
your dinner same as usual, and you
can swing 10 your hammock while
the army sweats.

The steady growth of population
in this part of the state is well
shown by the figures in the full list,
Houghton county, which is much
larger in population than any other
county in the upper peninsula,
stands fifth in the state, being eX-
ceeded only by Wayne, Kent, Sagi-
nav and Bay counties, the former
having the city of Detroit, Kent the
city of Grand Rapids, Saginaw, the
city of that name, and Bay the city
Of Bay City. The upper peninsula
has two counties, Luce and Kewee-
nav. which are very sparsely popu-
lated, but there are two counties in
the lower part of the state which
have hardly half the population Of
either. These are Oscoda and Ros
common, the former with 339 child
ren and the latter with 1913.

Suit.

A suit for personal damages will
be brought by the widow of Cecil
Beach, OF 'Houghton, against the
schooner Charles Wall. Beach was
employed as sailor on the Wall
and lost his life through an accident
while in the performance of his duty.
With two other sailors, Beach was
engaged in scraping down the mast.

on triangular platform from the
masthead. The ropes holding the
platform broke, and the men were
precipitated toward the deck. One
man saved himself by grasping a
stay, and the other caught some
ropes in his fall. Beach fell on TO
the deck and was injured fatally.
Mrs. Beach is now engaged in
gathering testimony in the case.

CHAMBERLAIN's AMBITIONS
Would Like the Appointment AS
District Attorney for the
Hawaiian Islands.

Rep. F. G. Chamberlain, of Iron
wood, better known as "The Tall
Pine of Gogebic, was in Detroit
the other day on business with a
new mining venture which he and
some Of his upper peninsula as
sociates have recently put on the
market. The property is located in
South Dakota and the company is
named the Copper Cliff Mining Co.
Mr.. Chamberlain has visions of a
fortune looming up before him. In
cidentally he is a candidate for ap-
pointment as district attorney for
the Hawaiian islands, when congress
at the coming session creates that
and few other offices for the gov
ernment of the islands.
Eyes, suppose am a candidate, "
he said to\The News, ''and | would

Miles Of Postage stamps.

C. f. Jenkins, in the Scientific
American, says that during the
year 1898 the United Bureau of
Printing Issued $500, 900, 900 of the
common red two-cent stamps,
enough to go almost twice around
the earth.
Stacked one upon another they
would pile up $50 miles beyond our
atmosphere, equal in weight to two
of our big locomotives, and would
make a blanket to keep the frost off
the city of Washington.
If these stamps worked in relays,
each taking the letter as far as al
lowed by the postal regulations, the
message would be carried beyond
the most remote star; and at the
fastest speed at the disposal of the
postal authorities, would occupy
millions of times the, age of the
earth in transit.

PRIMARY SCHOOL FUND.
Semi-Annual AppOrtiOnment just
Made Is One Dollar Per Capita.

State Superintendent OF Education
Hammond has made the second semi
annual apportionment of the money
in the primary school fund. The
division of this money is made May
10th and Nov. 10th of each year.
Payment OF the last .installment,
which amounts to SOL, 1856, will cut
in two the cash balance in the state
treasury. The apportionment this
time amounts to just 81 per pupil,
so the amount distributed represents
the number of pupils between FIVE
and twenty years attending the
Michigan schools. The apportion-
ment made last May was on the
basis OF fifty cents per capita, which
makes the total received by the
schools for the year well over a mil
lion dollars. The amounts TO be re-
ceived by the several counties in the
