Transacted by the Supervisors
at a Meeting Held
Wednesday.
SAVING INVESTMENT.
Contract to be Let for Providing
the Court House and Jail
With Steam Heat.

A special meeting of the board of
supervisors was held Wednesday,
and as it was impossible to prepare
the official proceedings of the meet
ing in time for this issue, brief
| synopsis of the most important
business transacted is given.
The bills presented by Baraga
village in typhoid fever cases,
amounting to $l,011.90, were re-
ferred to u committee, consisting of
three members of the board, for in
vestigation; also the bills regarding
case of scarlet fever at Pequam-
ing, amounting to S241,0O.
a resolution was unanimously
adopted that the board advertise for
sealed bids for all medical services
and medicines in contagious dis
eases which heretofore have been
charged against the county, said
bids to include the townships of
Arvon, Baraga and L'Anse, and
which bids will be acted upon at the
meeting Of the board October 9th.
At the meeting of the board held
August lst, the question of provid-
ing steam heat for the Court House
and Jail was discussed, and the
clerk authorized to enter into
correspondence regarding the
work. Wednesday Mr.. Coogan,
of the firm of Coogan & Strothenke,
of Milwaukee, was present at the
meeting with plans and specifica-
tions regarding the work, and by a
unanimous vote of the board it was
decided that the chairman and
clerk be authorized to enter into
contract with the said firm.
The complete proceedings will be
published in The SENTINEL next
week.

More Homestead Law.

A late Washington special says"
The acting land commissioner has
mailed to the land Office in Michigan
a circular prescribing rules for the
government of all persons concerned
in proceedings arising on reports of
special agents affecting the validity
Of claims to public lands. The OBJ
ject of the changes outlined in the
circular is to provide for the serv-
ing of notice upon entrymen by
which they will be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard in case if SO de-
sired Hereafter when there is filed
in the general land Office "a report of
a special agent alleging that GER
tain entry, filing, location or claim
for specified tract of land is fraud
ulent, or illegal, or that the claim
ant has failed to comply with the
requirements of law, and the facts
presented are sufficient to warrant
cancellation of an entry or claim,
the local land fficers will be author
iZcd to serve notice upon said
claimant or entryman. The notice
must specify and define the charges
adverse to the entryman or claim
ant contained in the special agent S
report. They will be advised that
30 days will be allowed in which to
apply for hearing, and failure to
apply within the prescribed time
will 5e taken us an admission of the
truth of the charges. The notice
must be served personally whenever
possible. Heretofore the practice
has been that upon the report of
special agent of the abandonment of
claim or that an entry had been
made in violation of law the entry
has been held for cancellation. The
new departure is expected to result
in the expedition of the class of
cases affected

ANNUAL CAMP MEETING
Closed Tuesday Noon After a
Session of One Week.

The annual Indian camp meeting,
held at the grounds near Pequarn-
ing, broke up Tuesday noon, after
being in session for one week, and
it is safe to say that it was one of
the most interesting, as well as be-
ing attended by the largest number
of people of any heretofore held.
Three services were held daily
morning, afternoon and evening.
Sunday evening service was held by
the Epworth League, at the close of
which nearly eighty-five young
people signed the temperance
pledge, which it is sincerely hoped
they will adhere 10.
Many people from Odanah, Wis. Il,
Bay Mills and Munising were pres
ent, as well as large numbers from
the various towns throughout the
county.
The meeting was a great success,
and each year the interest as well as
the attendance increases.

CONSIGNED TO EARTH.
Funeral of the Late Thomas
Brady Held From Sacred
Heart Church Monday.

The funeral of the late Thomas
Brady was hel1 from the residence
Monday morning at $50 O'Clock,
and from Sacred Heart church
at 10 o'clock, high mass being said
by Rev. FIR. Collins.
The funeral was largely attended,
the many friends of the deceased as
sembling to pay their last tribute
of respect to one whom they had
known for many years. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery.
Thomas Brady was born in Green
land, Ontonagon county, June 4th,
1858, where his parents, now
deceased, resided at that time. He
was brought up in the mercantile
business. In 1871 he accompanied
his parents to L'Anse, and learned
the matchmaker and jewelers.
trade, and started in business for
himself in 1874, in which he con-
tinued up to the time of his death.
For nearly three years Mr.. Brady
also conducted a branch jewelry
store in Baraga. He was also
quite an explorer, and had many
fine mineral specimens.
For three terms Mr.. Brady was a
member of the village council and
was also a member OF the old fire
company. He was man who had
hosts of friends and will be greatly
missed. Besides one sister, Mrs.
p. Brennan, of this village, there
are three brothers, John and
Clarence of California, and James,
residing in Colorado.

TAX LAW AMENDMENTS.
Here Are Several OF Interest to
Property Owners.

As the time for paying state and
county taxes will soon be at hand,
the taxpayers of the state will be in
terested in several important
amendments made to the general
tax law by the last legislature. Sec
tion 80, which formerly provided
for interest on delinquent taxes at
the rate Of 8 per cent per annum
and the addition of 4 per cent col
lection fee, was amended so as to
make the penalty per cent a
month, the additional collection fee
being retained.
Under the previous law there was
no charge for the cost OF advertis-
ing, ETC., until the lands had been
advertised and made subject to sale.
The advertisement was made in
April and there was no charge on
the account mentioned until the
land was actually offered for sale.
An amendment increases this ex-
pense from 20 cents to 81 per des-
cription, and make the charge lien
upon the land on Oct. lst next pre-
ceding the time prescribed for the
sale of the land.
Lands now held for unpaid taxes
of 1897 will be sold for taxes, unless
the latter are sooner paid, in May
next Under the old law the ex-
pense of this sale which has been in
creased to 81, would not become a
lien until that date, but the new
law makes lien on Oct. 1st next.

Prices Have Gone Up, Due to tho
Fact That Money is
Plentiful.
LARGE DEMAND IN WEST.
Michigan is One of the Great
Sources of Supply for
Hardwood.
A New York dispatch says:

/
"Coincident with the boom in iron
and steel is the same showing in the
lumber trade; prices have gone up,
due primarily to the great demand
for the raw material, which in it's
turn is due to the fact that money is
plentiful, particularly in the west,
from where large lumber demand
comes.
John N. Scatcherd, of Buffalo,
president of the Wholesale Lumber
| Dealers Association, sees in these
increased prices striking instance
of the country's prosperity
'The outlook in our business, in
other businesses, said Mr.. Scat
cherd, sis very encouraging. The
situation is similar to that in res
pect to iron and steel-there is
lack in the supply of raw material.
The demand for lumber usually fol-
lows in the wake of demand for
iron and steel, and in proportion as
to the demand for these latter in
creases so does the demand for lum-
Der increase.
Referring more particularly to
the hardwood outlook, | may say
that the demand for oak, and es-
pecially quartered oak, is unprece-
dented; while ash and maple are
scarce. Men with whom | have
come in contact report not only that
they are getting better prices, but
that collections are exceedingly
satisfactory
AT present we are getting most
Of our hardwood from Michigan,
Ohio, pndiana, Kentucky, Arkansas,
Tennessee, and some in Mississippi.
I'VE also, of course, import more
or less from Canada-bass wood, on
which we pay 81 million tariff tax,
and black ash, soft elm and some
oak, on which the duty is 50 a mil
lion feet
In speaking of this matter /
should like to say word or two on
the subject of the tariff The tariff
is no objection. When the demand
is good prices are high, and we can
afford 20 pay the duty; when the de-
mand is poor and prices are low the
tariff is good for us, for the reason
that it keeps out of this country a
low grade of wood which we, and
Canada as well, have surplus.
Generally, the lumber trade is like
all other trades-booming.
Another prominent dealer in lum-
Der said:
There certainly has been a re-
markable rise in lumber prices late
ly. | attribute this, first, to the
fact that western farmers have
plenty of money and can afford to
buy; second, because buyers gene,-
ally have more'moncy, and third, be-
cause the mills in time of depression
did not cut to their full cap icty.
The effect, in my opinion, will
be to retard building to some ex-.
tent, as it costs much more money
to erect II house now than it did,
say year ago.

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
LAKE PASSAGE BLOCKED.
Steamer Douglas HOughtOn Sunk
Across the Channel of
st. Mary's River.

The steel steamer Douglas Hough-
ton, the largest ship on the lakes,
lies sunk across the channel of ST.
Mary's river at the Sailors Encamp-
ment, and effectually blocks the
passage of all Lake Superior com
merce. The Houghton, which be-
longs to the Bessemer Steamship
Co., John d. Rockefeller S fleet, was
bound down from Lake Superior,
towing the big steel schooner Fritz
Both were deeply loaded with iron
ore. Tuesday morning when they
were in the narrow passage at the
Encampment, where the current
runs swiftly, the wheel chains of
the steamer parted, and she swung
around, grounding her bow on the
banks. The current swung the
stern across the channel. and the
Fritz, with all the impetus of 1000
tons of iron ore and 1000 tons of
ship, struck the Houghton on the
side, cutting through the steel
plates like tin can. The steamer
sank to the bottom at once, in such
position that the deep channel is
completely blocked. 1t is feared il
will take several days to get the
steamer out of the way and the loss
to lake shipping will be very heavy
B. w. Wright, receiver, sold the
Ropes gold and silver mine at the
court house in Marquette Tuesday
to the highest bidder. 1t was
knocked down to Fl. O. Young, of
lshpeming, for 81. 900, which barely
covers the receivers fer and leaves
nothing for labor or other claims.
The mine is situated near Ishpem-
ing and was operated for ID years
prior to 1897. In that time it pro-
duced S647 ,902 81 worth of gold and
silver, about 80 per cent being gold.
The rock was lean and it has never
been a profitable venture. Last
year a pool of Marquette men had
an option and after spending about
$4,000 on exploratory work, gave it
up.
The Calumet & Hecla Mining com
pany has just completed Il steel coal
shed at Lake Linden, which covers
300 square feet and has a capacity
of 100, 900 tons of coal. Not con-
tent with this duplicate will be
built next season.

years q prominent resident of Mack

Hon. F. G. Chamberlain, of Co
gebic, has been elected president of
the Copper Cliff Mining Co., which
has come into possession of several
promising claims located in the
Black Hills country.
The Wyandotte is to have a saw
mill plant. Sinking on the Winona
lode on this property is going down
rapidly and the rock coming out

A skunk farm will be established
near Ironwood. Five acres Of land
on section ten, about three miles
north of town, have been fenced in
by a wooden palisade eight feet
high, and will be stocked with
skunks. A number OF enterprising
young business men of the city are
interested in the project. 1t has
been figured out that without mis-
hap, twenty animals in two years
will have progeny Of over 1900.
This rapid increase is the founda-
tion for large profits.
