THE OWOSSO TIMES
EDMUND o. DEWEY. EDITOR.
Owosso, MICH, FRIDAY, OcT. 81. 1899.
Through the efforts of Coneressman

Through the efforts of Congressman
j. w. Fordney, Clinton county is to
have trial of rural free mail delivery
on the route laid out from St Johns.
The route practically surrounds one
whole township, though in reality it
covers much larger area The secur-
ing of this route for Clinton county is
only another instance of the wide
awake, active interest which the present
congressman from the eighth takes in
every county in his district. Clinton
county is fortunatein getting the route
this year as the appropriation is now
quite exhausted and this route was one
of the very last established. There are
large number of petitions now on file
from different parts of the district ask.
ing that free rural delivery routes be
laid out in them but for the above rea
son the department has given out that
no more can be established this year.
Congressman Fordney believes that the
next congress will greatly increase the
appropriation for the establishment of
free rural delivery routes and thinks
that without doubt he can secure the
establishment of number of them in
the different counties of his district by
another year. This especially interests
Shiawassee county where the double
routerunning out from Owosso has been
good objectlesson to the other farmers
OF the county who are now asking that
they be permitted to enjoy the same
privileges. While the matter is still in
its experimental stage Congressman
Fordney is convinced that before the
movement ends it will be extended to
all sections, and practically every farm.

daily at his house, and while he does
not think it possible to extend the SER
vice to this extent within one or two
years, he nevertheless intends to work
with this end in view. In the mean
time he intends not only to work for
the most generous appropriations for
the extension of the service, but also to
see that this district receives the most
generous treatment possible in the mat
ter of the establishment of new routes.
The TIMES reprints on its second page
a number of extracts from the pages of
the republican editors who were enter
tanned in Owosso on the tenth and
eleventh of the present month. The
exercise of hospitality always carries
with it it's own reward, and in this case
the reward was no uncertain one at the
time of the meeting and the banquet,
for no city ever entertained lot of
more royalty good fellows than the
members of the Michigan Republican
Newspaper Association proved them
selves to be, while the orators, who
were also the city's guests, repaid all
the hospitality extended them many
times over. But the editors were not
content with letting the reward for
Owusso rest there and fulfilled in way
we'll worthy of the half serious, half
humorous, suggestion of Rev. G. H.
Hanks in his response to the toast,
"Our Guests" that they might have
good word for Owosso even in their
papers after they had got home. Of
course they couldn't have been kept
from doing it any way, but the large
number of kind things said about our
little city by those papers which were
here is matter of no small
pride and pleasure to Owosso citizens
who feel that the city is continuing to
receive reward even after it has al
ready been repaid many times for its
hospitality

An interesting fact connected with

its seat in Normandy, and is, in all pro-

family is still in possession of a great
quantity Of magnificent silver-plate Of

Takon on account of the trouble in Tien
Tsin, the collier Nero being sent along
with the two cruisers. On that trip the
Nero's cargo of coal caught fire from
spontaneous combustion and at Takon
600 tons Of coal was jettisoned. The fire
could not be eXtinguished, however, and
the Nero was ordered to San Francisco
Lieutenant Howard's three years having
been finished, he was detailed to COM
mand her on her voyage to San Fran
cisco and was given a crew of forty men
whose terms of service had expired.
| There was more or less fire in the
coal cargo of the Nero during her trip
across the Pacific and as soon as the fire
in any compartment blazed SO fiercely
as to imperl the ship, that compartment
was flooded with sixteen feet of water.
This would, however, subdue the fire
only temporarily and in a short time
it would break out again, from spon-
famous combustion. The Nero expert

islands. She arrived safely at San
Francisco on January 6.

weeks, He is a native Of Norwich, this
state. The Manila campaign is not the
only important service in which he has
been engaged since he has been in the
navy. He was the first white man to
cross Alaska. In 1885 he was sent by
the government to explore the interior
of the frozen peninsula and crossed the
dreary wastes where white man had
never before trod living among Indians
and Esquimos, and was picked up by
whalers at Point Barrow, the most
northerly point in Alaska, in 1856. He
was also member of the Greeley relief
expedition and was in Guatemala dur
ing the war between that country and
Honduras.

GAME IN MICHIGAN.

| The annual report of State Game
| Warden Osborn shows that Michigan is
not only the best state in the Union for
game and fish, but she has the best
game and fish laws, and the Warden
gives the figures to show that the state
has the best Game Warden department
in the country. During the last two
years there have been more successful
prosecutions for violations than ever
before in the state, and more than in
any other state in the Union.
Relative to the conditions of game and
fish life in the state, the report goes into
detail. Ducks are getting more scarce
and the continued prohibition of spring
shooting is advocated. Partridge are
just about holding their own, and there
has been remarkable increase in quail.
An attempt will be made to breed quail
In the upper peninsula. Careful investi-
cation shows that deer are nearly If not
quite as plentiful as at any time dur
ing the last four years. Squirrels and
rabbits are decreasing, particularly the
former.
The fur bearing animals are fast be-
coming extinct, but the law prohibiting
the trapping of beaver is already bear
ing good fruit, and these valuable little
animals may in time be reestablished.
The bear has surely disappeared Tur-
keys are all gone, and the same may be
said of the Elk in the wild state. A
moose-cow was killed in Mackinaw

lieves that if the state would buy few

the upper peninsula, protected by law
and by sentiment, these majestic ami
mails might be again established here
